Happy Mothers Day! I enjoyed that picture! It's amazing how things have changed since that picture was taken! And now we are all living in Georgia! Enjoy your teenager, boys are so much fun! 😉😁

Happy Mom Day to All who mother! 🌷This post gave me a warm solidarity smile. So much of my professional career, I wished I had a wife. And today, I’m simply grateful to have some language to call some of this gender colonization 💩 out! Then, as with most generations, wanting better for my own daughter.

Yes to all of this. I never expected the alignment of gender roles to be such a struggle with my strongly feminist husband. The patriarchy is strong. Thanks for this reflection. Blessings on this Mother's Day.

Thank you! I wasn’t sure this one would resonate. But parenting really has been a feminist identity crisis.
