Cooper’s first weekend in a cast, and of course .marvinksmith and I both had travel plans. 😩

Marvin headed to his orthopedic conference and left me alone with a broken radius; meanwhile, I had to get ready for a trip to Maine. Needless to say, there was a lot to get done before reluctantly leaving my little ortho patient. 🤍

I’ve talked about reading 30 books a day to my kids for years, and the questions I get most often are: why and how did you actually do it? 📚

So I’m finally breaking down where the goal came from, what it looked like in our house, and how it evolved as my kids got older. ✍🏽

And, to be clear, I’m a lawyer, not an early childhood professional. I’m simply a mom who studied up before getting pregnant, was very intentional about the environment I wanted to create in my home, and is a bona fide expert in my own children. 😉

Because I’m frequently asked about what we’ve done and still do at home, particularly around reading and language, I’m always happy to share what works for us. Do what works for you. ❤️

Such a lovely evening celebrating Summer 💕

We had her birthday dinner at one of our family's favorite restaurants, and the team there really made the evening extra special for my girl. ❤️

It was a wonderful night of conversion, Miss Mary Mac, seafood, and togetherness. Summer even let her brother help her blow out her candles. 🎂

Happy 7th birthday, Summer, MD. You are a light in this world. ☀️

Seven tomorrow. My big girl. She's becoming so independent, with her own friendships, hopes, and dreams. With all of that, I feel incredibly fortunate that she still considers me her bestie. 💕 I cried about this on the internet this morning, so apparently I'm still not okay lol. To everyone who told me time flies, believe you. Now make it stop. 😭

My Cooper turns four tomorrow. 🎂 The night before his birthday felt like the perfect time to celebrate what he’s learned from our special time in the evenings before bed, “talking about the laws,” as he likes to say. Some of these concepts, like the elements of negligence and the basic elements of a common law contract, he’s known since he was two. Others I’ve added along the way, like the levels of scrutiny and the Supreme Court cases. But what has been incredible to witness over the past year is how he’s started putting the pieces together for himself. As we’ve talked more about negligence, I’ve gone beyond the elements of a prima facie case and given him more hypotheticals. The definitions of duty and damages you hear in this video are Cooper’s definitions!! They came from him developing his own understanding of what those concepts actually mean. 🙌🏽 Most nights, after we finish reading our books, we spend a little time “talking about the laws.” I don’t plan much for these conversations. We talk, repeat things, add new concepts and build on what he already knows. I wish I had recorded one of these before his third birthday, because watching this back made me realize how special it will be to see that knowledge build year after year. So I’m starting now. ❤️ This is not his final so relax lol. It’s just my little time capsule of what we’ve been learning together and, frankly, a way of keeping myself accountable to continue pouring into him in this way. Tonight is his last night as a three-year-old. Tomorrow, I have a four-year-old ready for 1L year. 🤣❤️⚖️

A will can be an important part of a thoughtful estate plan, and Make-A-Will Month is a great time to finally put planning on your calendar. 🗓️ If you are preparing to meet with an estate-planning attorney to learn whether a will-based plan, trust-based plan, etc. is right for you, I created a guide to help you organize the information you'll need, think through the questions you may be asked, and make better use of your consultation. It can also help you navigate the confidential client questionnaire after you retain an attorney, while respecting your lawyer's individual process. It’s in highlights! 👏🏽 This content and the guide are for educational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice.

Me: "What do you want to be when you grow up? Cooper: "An artist like Michael Jackson." Pretty sure that answer will set the tone for a legendary year. Also, where did my baby go? 💙🚌🙌🏽

How many times can one woman sing "first day of school" and "second grade" in two hours? The answer: a lot. 😂 There was so much independence this year—making her own lunch the night before, picking out her own school clothes and first-day outfit, and getting herself ready that morning *mostly* without reminders. It just feels like so much for someone who was a baby 5 minutes ago lol. 👶🏽 So excited for everything this year has in store for my big girl. Second grade, here we come. ❤️📚
