I choose you.

What our beautiful ceremony failed to anticipate is ALLLLLL the choice that comes after “I do.” What I didn’t know, and probably couldn’t know, at the time was that you must make choices every. single. day. after that. Big choices. And little choices. And little choices that lead to big choices. So many choices- all of them relating back to the ultimate choice to stay married.

You be good; I’ll be kind

I can’t wait to navigate grade school mean girls, middle school insecurities, and high school prom drama with you. Or maybe we’ll encounter none of those. But whatever we find along our way, I know you’ll make me do better and be better than I could have imagined before we met. Happy 3rd birthday, sweet sweet girl.

In defense of advocacy

What do you stand for other than pomp and circumstance? Do you stand for the perilous fight? The fight that might make some friends scared, some friends leave and other friends think? Do you stand gallantly on the side of humanity and goodness?

On Wednesdays, we celebrate our #girlsquad

“If we can embrace that idea and celebrate our differences, might we raise a generation of… nice girls? Might we raise a generation of girls that not only love themselves but also love and appreciate the value of their squads?”
