About a year ago, I posted the below essay on mindfulness in parenthood. I had been working on another essay that wasn’t working. I pivoted and put together my thoughts on what mindfulness can look like in a practical sense in real-life parenthood. The hope was this would counterbalance some of the very polished advice and anecdotes in the land of parenting advice. My life has never looked like one of the vignettes you might read in a book or a tidy platitude on an Instagram tile. I figured others may feel the same way. And apparently, they did.
