I’m Stephanie Kennedy. A Canadian mom of 4 children ranging in age from 15-22 years old. My dream is to bring together a community of parents who don’t do it all! As a retired high school teacher, a professional coach of youth sports, and a parent, I believe that you can’t do it all (well at least not without losing your sanity). I will share the many hacks/tricks/tips to raise independent, happy, loving, and empathetic children.
Nowhere has it been said that TRUE lazy parenting is easy! It often means taking the harder, longer, more difficult (in the moment) way...but TRUST ME, it is worth it. When all of your children are getting themselves up and dressed in the morning, making their own lunches, emptying the dishwasher, feeding the pets, doing their own laundry, AND making dinner....all without rolled eyes, delay tactics, and huffing and puffing.
No-this is not a dream...it can be YOUR REALITY. I can’t wait to join you on your journey.
