It's Chris' birthday today. Just like every other day he kept things running with the business and our family, making sure everyone got where they needed to go on time and well fed. His dad came over for dinner and while they were out piking up BBQ, Addie and I did manage to surprise him with streamers and party decorations. Also, I decided to cover his cake with 35 candles and accidentally bought relighting candles which turned out be hilarious. We all got a really good laugh out of him trying to blow out that many candles over and over again. I'm laughing now just thinking about it. (Swipe to see his entire cake covered in fire, LOL.) We watched RBG [the documentary], which was fabulous, and the whole time I thought about how phenomenal her husband was...just like Chris. He holds our whole family together - I don't know what I'd do without him. Happy birthday, Chris, I love you.

A little motivation for myself. We are in the midst of a huge push this month to launch a satellite brand. I'm on day who knows how many of work without a day off and having been working like crazy to draft content for the new website, develop processes and procedures, and refine pricing structures. Chris and I started noodling around with this idea last spring and we were half working on it around client work, but at the end of August I told him that it was only going to happen if we have a real focus session. So this month, we dedicated our entire team to work on launching the new brand (doing incredibly minimal client work). It's been a huge investment of capital and people power and I feel like I'm running on fumes preparing to launch in less than 7 days, but it will (I hope) all be worth it if we just keep pushing to the finish line.

I've been having fun coming up for different works for Addie to do at home, and this is one of her favorites. Matching people's names with their picture. It's not something she can do on her own yet, but it's a fun way for us to start introducing letter sounds and move towards her being able to recognize the shape of her name. For extra fun I also made "oldest" and "youngest" labels so we can line people up by age. Swipe to see the work up close. (Yes, I'm older than Chris. 🙂) #montessoriathome

Everyone on Instagram is posting photos of pumpkins and beautiful trees and cozy sweaters, and I'm all like "Let's go for an impromptu swim at the lake with friends." Part of me feels a little left out that we don't get fall down here and misses New England like crazy, but then I think: you can't knock sunshine, local cider, and watching happy girls splash around, no matter what month the calendar says. #itsfallyall, Texas style.

This year has been overwhelming on so many fronts and I, like many parents, have been trying hard to stay upbeat and positive for my daughters, so they can be at least a little shielded from the anxiety we're feeling about the state of the world. Today as I was chauffeuring the girls around to dance I heard the news of RGB's passing and it was like a punch in the gut. I gasped reflexively and dropped an F-bomb right there in the car without even realizing it (which says a lot because I never swear). I have four daughters and never before have I been so worried about their future. I used to think that we were handing them a world that was in-progress, yes, but still ready to be their oyster. Now, I am terrified of the crumbling world we're going to leave them with, and the opportunities that they might not have under an ultra conservative government. These are the faces of the future. This is who we're fighting for, who we're voting for come fall ... girls who will someday be women and who should have full bodily autonomy and equal opportunities in their work and personal lives, as should their peers with Black and brown skin. Biden may not be your first choice - he certainly wasn't mine - but it's time to get him in the White House...if only because we need to make sure that these beautiful girls are handed a world that values them.
