Having conversations about race as a white mother with a white toddler who lives in a very white area was at first daunting. I didn't know where to start and didn't want to say the wrong thing.
But since we've been having them over the last few months, I can promise you that it's been a wonderful and powerful experience.
I cannot believe that I have a three-year-old child right now. It's so surreal how quickly time flies when you become a mother. You hear it from everyone but when you live it, it's just unbelievable. Her birth feels like both yesterday and a lifetime ago.
I looked back at last year's birthday post yesterday (sobbing) and can't believe how much she has changed and grown.
This summer, if a dress doesn't look and feel like an elevated nightgown, you most likely won't see it on me. Colorful and comfortable is how I roll! Anything I can throw on with a pair of rubber sandals (plus a striped mask if out and about) and make it an outfit is basically my dream dress.
I've been in a recipe rut for the last few weeks and I can't seem to get out of it! Anel and I have been eating 80% vegetarian since our eat-less-meat challenge and I find that coming up with new vegetarian recipes is especially challenging to me. I make the same things over and over... but we're sick of them.
