Unapologetically Imperfect Claire & Kione

This week we talk about when you allow your children to make choices. Also, when you have children that are creative and love to experiment with different looks, whether it's in clothing or makeup...how you respond and react is key to their self-esteem and the key to not stifle their creative nature. We need to support their creative exploration as it will define who they become and how they will function in this world.

We are so excited to be recording in-person again! Ladies we are trying to get our Unapologetically Imperfect groove back and ditch our Zoom recordings.

COVID has changed our lives this past year. We remember when things all of a sudden came to a halt...kids were sent home from school, parents were not going to work and things because very different. And now vaccines are available. 

We were both not planning on getting the vaccine and we share our thoughts and why we changed our minds. Everyone has the right to decide whether or not this is something they want to do...and we wanted to share our experiences and what drove our choices.

So our kids have gone back to school on what they are calling a Hybrid System. They attending school in-person 2 days a week and the other days are distance learning from home.

We are juggling new schedules and trying to get our bearings for the next month and a half until our kids are out for Summer break. How are we coping? What have we been experiencing? Will the numbers stay down so they can finish out the school year this way? These are all the things running through our minds as we deal with Hybrid School in 2021! 

We have waited for this news for some time...it looks like the kids will be going back to school. For use here that means Hybrid schedules for most of the kids. That means they are going 2 days a week in person (alternating with other kids) and distance learning the other days.

Let's see how this goes and hopefully, they can continue until the end of the school year. 

As we transition to this new phase of COVID guidelines how do we make it special for our kids. 

In this episode, we talk about trying to raise strong women and all the good, the bad, and the ugly that come along with it. We also touch on how we want really independent strong women and how sometimes that can make raising girls challenging. 

We want to teach our girls how to advocate for themselves and express their individuality. But sometimes that expression can be new hairstyles or clothing we don't really agree with...but we grin and bear it!
