She’s 17!

My baby

Feeling that tinge of nostalgia again. 17 years ago, I was blessed to meet my daughter, Emmy. A firecracker from day 1, Emmy has always been a force of nature. Funny, smart, biting in the typical teenage girl kind of way and yet remarkably sensitive and kind, Emmy has helped make me a better person and parent.

Emmy and I have a lot in common. We are both the youngest in our family, the only girl with two older brothers. Watching Emmy navigate her way down this familiar path, I can’t help but be overwhelmed with a sense of awe. She is stronger than I was at that age, and I thank God for that every day. What I love the most, however, is that this child of mine continues to surprise me almost every single day. The best part? She likes to bake. 🙂

Emmy – wishing you the very best birthday ever. You keep doing you, and we’ll all get out of your way.

xoxo

You know that friend who has it all together? Yeah. That’s not me. What I can offer you instead are my experiences, insights, and passions. Pithy observations about making cookies. Wry commentary on running a business. Loving (if slightly sarcastic) parenting advice. And if that doesn’t interest you, I have dogs. Cute ones.
