Raising her is a delicate balance. Wild but not crazy, confident but not arrogant, and strong but not a menace. I want to teach her, not tame her. Her fire and ferocity will change the world. #girlsarestrong

Zach and Brody have a class together this quarter, which I was a little skeptical about because of sibling bickering. But when Zach came home crying, I wasn’t expecting to be heartbroken. Zachary broke down in tears, worried that Brody’s friends and classmates are going to make fun of him for being related to Zach. He said he knows he’s different and he struggles, but he didn’t want Brody feeling the effects of his condition. My sweet, sweet boy. 💔 Parents, raise your kids to be kind and understanding. Raise them to be positive, to be nonjudgmental, and to be appreciative that humans are different and intricate and talented in so many ways. And most of all, raise them to lift up their friends and people around them. You don’t want to feel the pain of your child being ostracized because he’s different.

Forever casual. Because so. many. kids. (outfit deets on the blog)

Oh look, a breakfast that’s not cereal. Already winning today. 💁🏼‍♀️

Just doing my best to drink my coffee, not lose my shit on days off of school, and raise good humans.

A crazy week full of appointments, IEP meetings, school obligations, etc... but the CRAZIEST thing is this kid and his doctors appointment. I knew the time was coming and I thought I was prepared, but when the doctor asked me to leave the room for Brody’s privacy - I. WAS. NOT. READY. He’s growing up and I do not approve. Not at all. I do appreciate doctors allowing this time for preteens and teenagers to ask questions privately and confidentially. They need accurate and unbiased information to make informed and (hopefully) more mature decisions. My mission in life: no teen pregnancies for my kids. #lordhelpme
