A BIG DAY 😭🩰🤞🏻💙 After about a year of considering it, and deciding he wants to pursue a higher level of training, Maj officially auditioned for @sab_nyc this evening!! To say we are proud is the greatest understatement. I’m so happy for him pushing himself to do this, and for his passion for this incredible art form.

Major, you inspire us ever day. Fingers crossed, buddy!!!!!! 🚀

BRB, in my chrysalis. 🤭🦋

Apr 17

While I still maintain that Mother’s Day is (or should be) every day of the year, Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and I’m ready to get the celebration started!
I’m a firm believer that Mother’s Day should be celebrated in whichever way the individual mother feels is most enjoyable for her…without judgement.

I’ve spent Mother’s Day without my kids on years where I felt extremely overwhelmed and touched-out– and I’ve spent others going on adventures or planning activities to enjoy with my kids. Neither is more correct.
I think in our culture we put so much pressure on a really unrealistic version of Motherhood. We are quick to applaud the mothers with minimal help who seem to get it all done without raising their voices, taking any shortcuts, or complaining about the downsides. These figures seem more like fictional Saints than actual human women. But we are expected to aspire to this level of selflessness. To be frank, I don’t think it’s good for children to see their mothers giving up everything and absorbing stress. I think children need to watch us work through real, human emotion. I think they need to watch us make mistakes, and find solutions. I think they need to watch us regulate, in order to learn how to do it themselves. I hope that when my children are grown and make their first (or tenth) “learning pains mistake” that they remember their Mom made some too. I hope they are used to giving themselves grace because I gave the same to myself.…
