My dear Miles, My cuddly, sweet, mischievous little boy… Today you are four. You are ecstatic to be four. In fact, you’ve asked me daily for a month when it was going to be your birthday, and got the biggest grin ever, no matter what number I said. Being four is like hitting the lotto […]

To My Daughter On Her 7th Birthday {Kinley}
Dearest Kinley, My little ray of sunshine! Today you are seven…Lucky 7! What a fantastic age this is. I remember feeling intimidated by age seven because it sounded old and entering into the “too cool” years. Thankfully, I was so wrong because I can see where this is going to be one of the most […]
To My Son On His Third Birthday {Miles}
“I do it by my own self.” Oh Miles. If there was a phrase to sum up your second year, that would be the one, Mr. Independent. This past year has been full of beautiful moments I will always treasure, but I’d be remiss to not mention all of your toddler shenanigans, too. We had our […]

I think this age is notoriously a favorite among […]
Parenting Is…

A Letter To My Son At 18 Months
Dear Miles, My apologies for being a little late with this letter…We missed your official half birthday while we were away, and even though 18 months is such a small milestone in many respects, there has been so much change during the past 6 months, an update feels warranted.
