🎶 You will come of age with our young nation
We'll bleed and fight for you
We'll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you
And you'll blow us all away🎶 - @lin_manuel 
I’m in shock and shaken. I’m angry and broken hearted. I look at my daughter and want to scream in fury for the world her generation is inheriting. All the work they’ll have to do (and us of course) to get our country to place that is more equitable and humane. 
Mostly, it’s just the sobering knowledge that there are people in power who believe women to be second class citizens, without autonomy. Whether or not you believe people should choose parenting or adoption over abortion is not the point. The point is that access to abortion is healthcare. It saves lives. The point is that every woman has the fundamental right to control her own body. The point is that this loss is the beginning of the road to losing so many milestone rights we’ve all taken for granted. 💔😞
I know I’m going to fight like hell for my daughter to have these rights. I’m tired of calling my senators, and voting in elections, and still feeling held hostage by a select few who orchestrate these setbacks. 
I’m lucky that I’ve never been faced with the difficult choice of abortion, though I have countless friends who have gone through the experience. When I was pregnant with my second child, the baby died inside me. I was fortunate to have the choice of receiving a D&C (also an “abortion procedure”) to remove the body. I was not forced to wait at home to go through the trauma of still birthing the dead fetus. And who knows what complications could have resulted from that if it didn’t happen quickly. 
Believe me, the procedure was traumatizing and heartbreaking enough. 
An abortion isn’t a party people can’t wait to attend. Nobody celebrates. But the choice of it is medically important in SO many cases and it breaks my heart completely to think of the women (and GIRLS) who will be denied that option. 
It’s ok to feel defeated and heartbroken and lost right now. It’s ok to take care of yourself and be gentle on yourself if you’re hurting from this.

They understood the assignment 🥹💛 👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻
My kids LOVE graphic tshirts and, well, it took ME a while to warm up. 🥴Until I figured out that you *can* find some that won’t break your eyeballs 🤣
On the blog today I have a roundup of graphic tees my kids love and that are also Mom approved. Plus I’m telling a story about expectation vs reality that I’m curious if other parents can relate to… 😆

Party finger foods can be a tricky category to master. 🥴It’s the sign of a great party to have delicious food guests can nibble with their cocktail…but it’s typically a pain in the butt to make them, and where to start?? 
I recently made these adorable mini loaded baked potatoes for a get together and they SLAYED ⚡️🙌🏻 They’re such a crowd pleaser and delicious (plus easy, duh) 😉
Full details on Happily Eva After today!
