Three letters.
Three sides.
One truth: parents are tired of the noise.
While lawmakers trade words like “responsible,” schools, nonprofits & families wait.
It’s not red vs blue — it’s families vs excuses. 🍎

Labor Day update: Tab keeps improving—more alert, writing better. Medical meeting Wed for next steps. Bella starts school too (anxiety is real).
One kid going back to school feels surreal. Taking it day by day, pushing edges of what's possible.
Thanks for all the support.

Stop Evading, Start Engaging: Our Kids Can’t Wait
Political fights won’t fix our schools—real conversations will. It’s time to stop dodging the hard stuff and start doing right by our kids.
If we’re honest—our education system doesn’t need more politicians.
It needs more parents in the room, lawmakers who listen, and leaders who show up.
Lincoln had it right:
“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
