The lil' dude and I hit Walmart Saturday for some groceries. Somehow, I managed to talk her into sitting in the cart like the old days. I was talking out loud, crossing things off my list when I got to Lysol wipes.
"Wipes", I said, tossing them into the cart.
Those are for wiping the poop off my butt! The lil' dude HOLLERED at the near-top of her lungs.
"Lil' dude! Shhhh. No." I said to her.
OH! Sorry Mom. Those are for wiping the poop off my BOTTOM! she said even louder.
Even louder! That's my girl.
Just like her Mama.
She made three aisles of Walmarters laugh on a cold winter morning. Could be worse.

A seven-year-old dynamo who never meets a stranger, nor cardboard box she doesn't love. Craves sleep, CheezIts, art, her people, making a difference, and singing her heart out. She's better than anything on any Starbucks menu.

Mama Loves to Blog
The blog? Bound to be my daughter's legacy.
I'm 35 & there are so many things I love. Typewriter font. Tattoos. Coconut everything. Lyrics, sunshine, roadtrips, sarcasm, & ampersands. Navy blue dresses. Feathers. Fitness. Collecting iPhone cases. Ephemera. Birds. Patina & chipping paint. Front porches. Stationary, coffee, coffee, coffee. Cheap sunglasses, cheap wine. Buttery brown leather. Handwriting & layers of vintage necklaces. Lace. Goats. Water. Salt. Avocados, citrus fruit, locker baskets, Trader Joe's, chocolate chip banana bread, library books, & stories. I love my people as fiercely as I can, and am unapologetic for it. This is my life & it's rad.

Blogs I Heart
That's What She Said
"I am enough. I am full of sparkle & compassion. I genuinely want to make the world a better place. I love hard. I practice kindness. I'm not afraid of the truth. I am loyal, adventurous, supportive, & surprising. I am a woman. I am enough. I make mistakes, but I own them & learn from them. Sometimes I make a lot of mistakes." -Molly Mahar
