Wow. That was very powerful, and I don’t even have a kid. Thanks. Pretty girl.

Blair-I know what you mean, and it’s the same thing I tell myself.

Emily-when you come to have a cold beer and bbq with us this summer, you’ll get to see some good days too…which doesn’t discount the birth control benefit, but is still nice.

Dacia-thank you!

Debra, my friend, dude. Indeed. I’m also finding that it’s a great way to find all of the wonderful things about my relationship with my mom (hi Mom!) and carry those things forward. xoxo!

As I look at my incredible teenaged daughters, I sometimes wonder, “Who are you and what did you do with my little girls!” I marvel at how they think about things. Growing the relationships with them is a constant examination of MY relationship with my mom, and an attempt to make it my own, instead of
repeating my youth.

I am always telling my daughter how lovely/pretty/smart/wonderful she is. I figure that as her mother, I’ve earned that priviledge. I, too, wonder if I’m creating a monster, but the world is a hostile place for a girl’s self-esteem that I really don’t care. At least she knows her mother is a fan, right? xoxo
