My favorite tiny wedding date (and a very popular guest!) #weddingbellstowle #heytherehazie

As I walked down the sidewalk into the Oregon District this morning, I paused and thought - what will my daughter see? How does this look through her eyes? She'll see tragedy & sorrow, and a grieving community. She'll also see hordes of media filling the sidewalks, joking around with each other, getting their clips, moving on & leaving behind their garbage. She'll see people who have probably never stepped foot in the area rubbernecking to see where it happened and point out bullet holes in windows. But I can help her see more. I can help her see respect for this immense loss & point out people leaving flowers. I can show her how we support local businesses that are caught in the middle. I can show her how to speak up & take action when we see things that need to be changed. I can help her see that a smile goes a long way. I can teach her that while there seems to be so so much hatred in this world, there is also plenty of love to go around. I know Hazel won't have any memories of this little experience, and that it's mostly to soothe my aching heart. But it's a good reminder that my actions in times like these do matter, in ways both big & small. My presence can be a positive one. So, please - call your representatives until they remember you by name. Send emails. Show up to vigils & protests if you can. Support the local community, and check on your friends. Grieve, pray, cry, laugh, hug, smile, donate - there is so much you can do, and it's even more important when little eyes are watching. #daytonstrong #saytheirnames #momsdemandaction

This fluffy haired girl is 11 months old! She loves: crawling quickly away from me, standing unassisted, waving, eating chunks of cardboard from her board books, making dinosaur noises, touching the pets' water bowl, walks in the carrier, and peeing in the bathtub. She dislikes: not being able to do what she wants when she wants, having toys/trash taken away from her, when I'm too slow with the bottle, being put in her car seat, and not being allowed to crawl face first down the stairs. It's hard to believe she's going to be a year old in just a month!! I know every parent says it, but it's just so true - the days are long, but the years are short 💗 #heytherehazie #busybaby
