Some days you feel like you're barely keeping your head above water, and nobody sees how hard you're trying. 💛 Eastern Shore mom Ashlie Holladay gets it. She and her husband, James, are raising one-year-old triplets, Dawson, Jameson and Emerson, while she works through nurse practitioner school. Her surprise: keeping all three on the same routine made life feel much more manageable than she imagined. And her message for any mom in the thick of it: you're doing better than you think you are, and you don't have to do everything perfectly.

Tag a mom who needs to hear that today. Her full Mom to Mom is in our October issue.

Near the end of his life, a friend of columnist Kristi Bush didn't want more time online. He wanted dinners, coffee and long talks with the people he loved.

Her October column uses that story, and some surprising screen-time math, to ask what we want our kids' hours to add up to.

Read it this weekend, then tell us your family's favorite screen-free tradition. Find it here: https://easternshoreparents.com/2026/10/seven-hours-a-day-doesnt-seemlike-a-lot-until-it-does/

Those last few thousand dollars of debt can feel like the longest stretch of the whole race. Then a cash gift from the grandparents shows up, and the debate begins: pay it down, or finally have a little fun? 💸

This Dave Says column covers how to handle gifts from family when you're close to debt-free, and why bills come before fun when the end is in sight.

Read it and share it with someone on the same path. Find it here: https://easternshoreparents.com/2026/10/dont-let-up-you-can-see-the-finish-line/

Some of the best teachers took the long way into the classroom. Rachelle Rush spent 14 years working in a compounding pharmacy before she started teaching.

Now in her second year as a fifth- and sixth-grade special education resource teacher at Jubilee Elementary, she wants every student to know they're loved, safe and capable. She's also mom to two daughters.

Read her story, then tag a teacher in the comments with their grade and school. Find it here: https://easternshoreparents.com/2026/10/teacher-of-the-month-rachelle-rush-jubilee-elementary-school/
