Love this, Lindsay. “Sometimes easier just means less.” Oof and yes. Tamping down may get us through, but we lose so much. You show us a life of fun and whimsy that is inspirational!
This is fantastic writing!! When I got to the end I expected this to have hundreds of likes and comments! Please keep sharing because you are so talented!
Hmm the words and reminder I needed this morning. It is so easy to fall into the narrative of tired mom, exhausted military spouse. But what happens if…
Amber, that narrative is definitely true and we can honor it, but I also know you and YOU are a fun mom! Sometimes we have to pause and reconnect with that piece of ourselves.
I cried reading this. Really great writing, Lindsay. Yes to dancing in the rain and dark chocolate peanut butter cups and a huge yes to a shower invitation! 👏🏻👏🏻 Just want to say that I see FUN radiate from you on our zoom calls. You might not always see it or feel it, but it lives in you. I see it.
Thank you Laura, for sharing all of this. I really appreciate you saying you see the fun radiate-- I know it's there, but gosh I forget. Thank you for seeing me. Hugs to you, my friend. Your workshop has pulled me through this fall.
I can see all of these moments happening and know that you are really "a fun mom" but also a "fun daughter, sister, wife and friend". No more doubts, go forward with confidence, love you, "fun" mommacita
This is so gorgeous.
Thank you so much for reading Wendy.

Thanks Aly, that's honestly my favorite line, and I have to continue to remind myself of it! Here's to more whimsy (love that word!).
You ARE full of fun, and this was so fun to read!! ❤️
Thank you so much for reading Laura. I know you are a fun mom too!
