As a parent, one of the toughest ideas I’ve had to come to terms with (still coming to terms with) is that we’re not trying to help our kids become whoever they want to be.
We’re trying to help them become who they’re supposed to be. It’s already been set in stone.

Within minutes of waking up, my toddler told me, “I want a book to read, Dada.”
I can’t think of a better way to start the day.
I guess I’m not a total parenting failure!

Parents,
Show your children the importance of supporting and exploring locally.
Teach them what it means to be a part of a physical community.

Another couple inches of snow today. Nice to look at, inspiring even, but I think I’ve had enough for the time being.
What’s your favorite snow day activity to do with your kiddos?

Nobody wants time to fly, especially time with your children, but you will be much happier looking back and knowing that you played with your kids, you gave them love and attention, and you made the most of every opportunity with them.

Step 1: This, year get yourself a @criterion.bsky.social subscription if you don’t already.
Step 2: Show your kids more movies from their selections!
So many great options to choose from!

Currently in love with the idea of just having an abundance of sketchbooks lying around the house for our 2 year old to draw whenever and wherever he wants.
It’s one of my favorite things to watch him do.
And I shamelessly plan to collect and store as many as I can find.

We’re even going to begin hanging the “menu” up in the kitchen at the beginning of each week to advertise what’s we’ll be serving.
We’re trying to plan weekly rotating menus to avoid frequently repeated meals.

Some people start their day with avocado toast.
My son prefers just a big ole bowl of avocados. And he’s more than willing to share it with his leopard.

Let your children starting choosing what to wear as early as possible.
A lot of you are going to get these outfits, and that’s great. Your child is showing everyone their personality!
