Someday my kids will watch Mary Poppins and hear "let's go fly a kite" and find out that the words are not actually "let's go to the car, we won't drive very far, let's go to the car and (something about the destination ie) get to preschool"
Like this if you sang it 😝

Internalized racism is when you (I ) see a woman pushing a stroller and if she's white you think she's out for a walk for recreation and if she's brown or black you think she's headed to the store/someplace utilitarian

Little voice in my head 5-10 years ago: 40 mins late to church and you stopped for iced coffee??

You might be practicing not jumping straight into fix it mode with friends who are having negative emotions or drama - can you sit with yourself without jumping into fix it mode?

My squish mallow obsession has evolved
Instead of window shopping, I now keep pics of cute ones on a Pinterest board and I have a widget that cycles through each one and showcases them on my home screen
It scratches the itch and a pattern has emerged: I loooove the ones holding food/coffee

Why do I put as much of my life on my phone as possible? (Vs notebooks, lists, journal)
Because kids require so much stuff, I'm not packing a whole bag for myself if it fits on my phone 😂

I showed my 3yo a picture of me and her aunt and she asked what the little bit of sign was. I said it's a sign to tell people what we think the problem is. She's like "problem?? Like scary monsters??" I'm like, basically!!

Having kids really makes you question some things you thought you knew. Like how to pronounce legume.

May we raise kids who are willing to lose friendships that aren't good for them. Not overly sensitive easily offended kids, but kids who are willing to set boundaries and follow through if they're not respected.
May we raise kids who respect each others' boundaries, too.

Counting opportunities I just took or passed up at bedtime with my 3yo: count the 3 books we're going to read as often as makes sense (did this)
She asked to play for 5 minutes. The clock said :51. I could have showed her on my fingers 1+1,2,3,4,5=6 so when we see a 6, it's time to stop.

Questions I regularly ask my kid about the stories he/we read to make language arts really easy for him later:
What was the main conflict, like, problem in the story?
What was the setting, like, where did the story mostly happen?

Someone should set up a phone line to contact if you were helped in some way by an immigrant. I bet it would get a lot more calls than this ridiculous and offensive ICE line.
