A great time was had by all the Lil Bits! We spent a good 2 minutes dancing in front of the angry protester section. Happy Pride, yβall!
Also a great opportunity to continue the conversation with our kids about LGBTQ history and the fight for rights, social acceptance, and respect. β€οΈ Teach your kids love not hate.

As October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month, I cannot help but reflect on the fact that when I was pregnant with my youngest daughter, I was told, outright, that she would never survive. π§΅
At 6 weeks pregnant, I had spotting that suddenly turned into dark, heavy bleeding when we were out of the state visiting friends. We were told to go to the ER and follow up with our OB upon our return. What followed was one of the most heart wrenching experiences of my life.
My bleeding stopped by the time we reached the ER. I had no cramps. The ultrasound tech said my cervix was closed and there was a heartbeat of 125 - somewhat low but in a normal range. They had to send the scan to an offsite radiologist for interpretation.
Today a man with an AK-47 walked down the middle of the street that runs alongside the playground at my daughters' school. During recess. My 5yo was on the playground with her classmates. Feet away.
Teachers rushed the kids inside and the kids were none the wiser for it.
By chance, the gunman apparently showed no interest in the school or students. He continued down the middle of the street (yes the middle, not the sidewalk) and past it.
But wait...were campus officers able to interfere? Were the police called? Was the man apprehended????
My 5yo... 1) asked to visit "the grave of that guy who sings the hold 'em and fold 'em song" 2) asked my husband to play the song 3) held the phone up to the grave so Kenny could hear
I am sorry to be the bringer of this (2 year old) news, guys. Yes, Kenny Rogers is dead. RIP.
He folded 'em.
Y'all. Honestly we're not even big fans or anything. She saw Kenny do a cameo (a non-singing cameo) in another movie, and she latched on π
