Raising Teens on Tacos, Talks, and Tequila

Food as Family Glue

Dinner is our daily reset button.
Tacos are neutral territory—safe for both deep talks and sarcastic comebacks.

Sometimes the kids share stories; sometimes they just inhale food and scroll. Either way, we’re together—and that’s what counts.

Why Tequila Helps (Sort Of)

Okay, I don’t need tequila to parent. But a little shot on a Friday after surviving teenage mood swings? That’s self-care, my friend.

It’s not about drinking. It’s about decompressing—so I can wake up Saturday ready to do it all over again.

Talks That Matter

Our best conversations happen over nachos and melted cheese. I don’t lecture—I ask questions. They don’t always answer, but they remember that I care. That’s enough for now.
