As I embrace this new role as a mother of two kids, I’ve been thinking about the parent I want to become. So today I’ve rounded up a few parenting
goals I have for our family:

1. I want to teach them to explore, ask questions
   and to use their imagination.
2. I don’t want them to be afraid to follow their
   dreams or their hearts.
3. I hope to teach them to be kind. To everyone.
4. While Dad tends to be the fun parent, I have a
   tendency to be the one that implements the rules. I really want to work on being
   spontaneous and easygoing.
5. I want to let them know it’s okay to march to
   the beat of their own drums. Embrace the weird!
6. I want them know that we’ll always be there to
   support them.
7. I want to lead by example.
8. I don’t want to be known for always worrying
   about making messes.
9. I do want to be known for goofy voices, silly
   jokes, tickle fights and warm hugs.
10. Naturally I want to teach them good manners and
    how to respect others.
11. I want to worry less about technology and more about playing outside.
12. I want them to know they can always make a
    difference.
