borrowed words

i saw these words the other day and they hit me. so i wanted to share with you all:

“so often, children are punished for being human. children are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes, yet we adults have them all the time. none of us are perfect, and we must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves.” – rebecca eanes @biglittlefeelings

maybe you also need to hear this today.

these photos were taken on thanksgiving day in florida
we had the best week enjoying the palm trees, beach, and sunshine.
happy to be back to enjoy the last of the autumn hues in carolina before winter comes
and all the cozy holiday vibes in our new home.
