This and That
Wow, I can’t believe August is here already! We had a busy week preparing for the boys’ first big weekend trip to stay with my parents in San Antonio, and I’m attending Texas Style Council this weekend. I’m excited and nervous, and you’ll hear all about it next week. In the meantime, here are a few things that caught my attention this week.
Why every college student should major in English.
Gorgeous photographs of American icons. Which one is your favorite?
Tamar Braxton talks honestly about her struggles with motherhood.
Why the term “good mother” has such a heavy connotation.
A not-so-crazy suggestion for Breastfeeding Awareness Month.
Have a wonderful weekend, and if you’re attending Texas Style Council, too, then I hope to see you there!

I love the “good mother” article! It’s so true! There’s even this book I found, “The Guide for Shitty Mothers” or something like that. Obvious it’s a satire, but it’s hilariously true. We’re only human.
Yes, there’s so much pressure and it sometimes feels like all eyes are on you when you become a mom!
