Sara this is beautiful 😍 the other night my little one wanted to watch as my husband played guitar. He stood outside the room and started bobbing up and down on his unsteady legs. He can’t even walk yet, but he’s trying to dance. I thought to myself, “this is one of those moments you’re going to remember: when your son first shared his father’s love of music.”

That made me tear up!! Yes, exactly. These little moments on connection through things that we love is the magic of parenthood.

I can’t wait until the day I can give my little guy a camera and see what catches his eye 😍

Wow, Sara! This is just so beautiful. The truth of giving pieces of ourselves to our children and them making it their own is so well said. Bravo my dear friend! xoxo

Thank you, Ashley! I know you know that feeling so well. It can be weary to give, but oh man, is it worth it.

"You leave behind small pieces of your soul in your child’s. They take it, reshape it and make it theirs." This whole piece is wonderful, Sara! And these lines on passing things down to your children really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Zack. What an incredible thing we are able to do as parents. What a difficult thing we do as parents. I find that I have to trap these little moments in glass bottles in order to see how big they really are. So glad this one resonated.
