Jen, I wholeheartedly love this!! As a new mom, it’s absolutely heartwarming to be reading from experienced parents who took ownership of their own stories and raised beautiful children with an open mind vs raising them to fit into a specific box.

«Maybe the goal was never to raise kids who fit in, but to raise kids who felt at home in themselves.» Adding this to my list of “powerful things people have said that’s gonna shape how I choose to parent” ❤️ your children are beautiful and they scored big time to have you as their mom!!

Thanks for always reading, Fran. This one took me a ridiculous amount of time. I wanted it to go up last week but couldn't get it quite right.

Oh Jen, I so admire you. You did an amazing job raising Emma and Oliver. You did it your way and I personally have enjoyed watching your journey. Love that the kids also have your sense or journey and adventure! What a cool little family you all are 🥰💕
