The difference a year can make 🥹💗

[Whitney Sich @WhitSich]

My daughter starts middle school tomorrow. We've decorated her locker, bought new uniforms, even surprised her with a new backpack. But tonight just before bed, we did another pre-middle school task that is far more important than the others. I gave her a tube of toothpaste and asked her to squirt it out onto a plate. When she finished, I calmly asked her to put all the toothpaste back in the tube. She began exclaiming things like "But I can't!" and "It won't be like it was before!" I quietly waited for her to finish and then said the following:

"You will remember this plate of toothpaste for the rest of your life. Your words have the power of life or death. As you go into middle school, you are about to see just how much weight your words carry. You are going to have the opportunity to use your words to hurt, demean, slander and wound others. You are also going to have the opportunity to use your words to heal, encourage, inspire and love others. You will occasionally make the wrong choice; I can think of three times this week I have used my own words carelessly and caused harm. Just like this toothpaste, once the words leave your mouth, you can't take them back. Use your words carefully, Breonna. When others are misusing their words, guard your words. Make the choice every morning that life-giving words will come out of your mouth. Decide tonight that you are going to be a life-giver in middle school. Be known for your gentleness and compassion. Use your life to give life to a world that so desperately needs it. You will never, ever regret choosing kindness."

Toddlers truly are so embarrassing. Abe took Adeline to school so I could “sleep in” and I’ll be damned if she didn’t tell her teachers that all I do is sleep all day that’s why I didn’t take her this morning 😂💀

I literally “slept in” until 8:45 😵‍💫😂

Abe booked and planned a 2nd beach trip for us around a taco festival at 10pm last night 😂🥹🫶

Fun perk of being in leadership for a company that sponsors sooo many things is the free tickets to these events 😋

It fills me with such pride and joy to announce that my version of Speak Now will be out July 7 (just in time for July 9th, iykyk 😆) I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness. I love this album because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing… and living to speak about it. With six extra songs I’ve sprung loose from the vault, I absolutely cannot wait to celebrate Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) with you on July 7th. Pre-order now at https://t.co/m3KNl71qrY 💜💜💜

Not my counter part starting a new position in 3 weeks meaning I’ll be handling over 800+ reps and 60+ supervisors, after only being in my role for a month.

This is fine. Everything is fine.

The realist in me knows no one will be paying attention to my baseboards at Adeline’s birthday party, but the perfectionist in me won’t let me stop scrubbing them, so. Another wild Saturday night!!! 🤪

[alexandra @advlive13]

My problem is as soon as my kids shows the slightest interest in anything, I feel the need to buy everything related to that thing 😂
