I loved this post so much. It made me tear up (I just lost my mom last year and it reminded me of how much I loved spending time with her...waaaaaaa). I can't wait to get my hands on this beautiful book.

This post made me smile and cry a little and then smile some more. Knowing and working with your mom and dad has been one of the great joys of my life. Your post is a beautiful tribute to them and you and your entire wonderful family. Thank you for sending it out.

Adored this behind the scenes, family collab, connection and creation love letter. Makes me even more excited for your book! And, your note about the getaway was just in time, as my partner and I have been trying to plan our first big vacay since before the pandemic, and we're coming to Belize with you! YAY!

Love this post! Sometimes when I read these posts, I hear them in your voice, and I loved "hearing" you talk about your parents. The video is the sweetest thing. I would give anything for one more day with them at the dining room table, laughing about nonsense. Also we feed our dogs the same brand of dog treats, so we are practically twins :)

Loved reading about your parents. We should all be so lucky.

And...I hope that you will do another one of those getaways, at a different time of year!! A friend and I would register in a second if it was not around the holidays!
