Imperfectlyashley

i’’ve spent too many years tripping over mini sticks. and this past year I found the best solution to the problem. just took $20 to end the suffering.

this wall mount has been doing an important job in this house and I refuse to be embarrassed about how long it took me to figure this out. so here i am sharing the secret right before those mystery minis start showing up again.

Let me know if you want the link below.

my dream isn’t for my son to make me proud. it’s for him to make himself proud.

to walk into rooms i never had the guts to walk into.
to chase the things i talked myself out of.
to speak up when his voice shakes, not just when it’s easy.
to know what he’s worth without waiting for someone else to say it first.

as moms we spend so much time trying to protect our sons from getting hurt.

but i’m not trying to raise a man who plays it safe because he’s scared of getting it wrong.

confident enough to build a life that’s actually his.

that’s it. that’s the whole dream.

some days I’m counting down to the day this all stops.
the schedule that never ends, the two-hour drives, the bleachers that never get softer.

and other days I know I’m going to miss every single second of it.

how do you hold onto the days you’re still in the middle of.
