Today we motivated our family to drive 30 min out for a family hike. As we parked one of the kids announced they weren’t wearing shoes 😑 So for all of you who asked what we did (nobody asked)... we hiked anyways.🤷🏽‍♀️⁣

Amidst all the week’s dark news, our mudroom is now full of happy summer bc our pool opened up! ☀️ We keep the kids’ summer supplies like sunglasses, extra goggles, + lunchboxes in those cute baskets! The tassel towels are an old favorite from HG, but I’ve linked some other cute tassel towels here. Swipe for a close up or peep my stories 👀 ⁣

Longer than it’s been trendy on social media, we’ve been doing the work to raise kind humans who don’t stay silent when somebody is hurting. Who look to be inclusive of others. Who have a wide diverse circle of friends.
But we can do better. We are having the hard convos this week! Convos I normally would not involve my kids in. Part of teaching love means acknowledging where you were wrong, and remaining open to learning more.
Let’s have conversations with our kids about what is happening, and keep the convos going so they can do better when it’s their turn to fly out into the world.
If our next generation is to be actively anti racist, compassionate, and united, it’s on us. ❤️ black lives matter #georgefloyd

How much do you think we love waking up to that sharp blast of sunlight right in the eyeball. 😂 The TV is mounted to the wall though, so progress is being made!
