Seriously, stop. I need this in my life.

Well this is just about one of the best things I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on. It’s for Jamie and her amazing daugher Teddi! Here’s what Jamie said about the quote:

“This is my 4 year old’s quote to me, and I just really needed to immortalize it and see it all the time… "If you’re a hero to me, you can be a hero to yourself.” Her name is Teddi, and she’s my hero. ❤️"

Thank you so much Jamie and Teddi… you guys are my hero!

I wouIdn’t have had it any other way. My God, Iook at what we’ve had. - Mamma Mia! (2008) dir. Phyllida Lloyd She had nobody, she didn’t even have anybody to tell. She wasn’t scared, I know that now. She knew that she could do it because she wasn’t alone, she had me. - Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) dir. Ol Parker

I had class at the gardens today and while I was eating lunch by the pond, watching the family of ducks that comes into the picnic area to beg for food.  Today, the mother mallard had her offspring in tow. The sight was very adorable and resulted in much salad and fries being thrown thier way.  I was only sort of paying attention to thier movments when the following conversation took place at the next table over:

Toddler, just learning how to talk: *excited gasp*  A FUCK!

Mother: JENNA NO!

Jenna, bouncing up and down with glee: BABYS!  BABY FUCKS! BABY FUCKS!

Mother, hissing whisper of desperation: J e n n a   p l e a s e !

Jenna, ecstatic:FEEDA FUCKS!  FEEDA FUCKS!

Jenna, turning to me and gesturing: BABY FUCKS!!

Me:  Yeah!  Did you know a baby Duck is called a Duckling?

Jenna: !!!!!

Jenna: MOMMY!  FUCKLEYS!

Mother: I’m so sorry.

Me: Are you kidding?  This is the highlight of my week.

Jenna, chanting as shes loadedint the stroller and wheeled away: BA-BY FUCK-LEY! BA-BY FUCK-LEY! BA-BY FUCK-LEY!

The ducks continued their search for fries, uncaring.

THE MOST PURE!!!

Today I’m reminded of my favorite quote ever by my daughter Harper. Look out world!

“She starts preschool in a couple weeks, which I think is gonna be real interesting. Once I finally got her into preschool, and it was like a done deal, I was like “Hey, let me tell you some stuff about her…she is not potty trained, she’s allergic to nuts and she bites…so I gotta go…” - Tina Fey on her youngest daughter Penelope, 4.

When I started to talk to Harper about how resolutions work and about hopes and wishes for the new year work, her next thought was pretty simple. I hope her hopes come true!

8yo: “Will you trade me for my Pussyduck?”

6yo: “No thank you, I’ve already got a Pussyduck.”

Me: “Guys? Um. Somebody want to spell that one out for me?”

8yo: “P-S-Y-D-U-C-K. Pussyduck.”

Me: “I see. Well, we’re gonna go ahead and call that guy ‘SIGH-duck. SIGH-duck.”
