May 2

I don't live anywhere near where I grew up, so I don't get to share many personally nostalgic places or things with Abby. But every now and then, I do get to share something meaningful with her.

Tomorrow is dance picture day, so I put her hair up in socks tonight, just like my mom and grandma used to do for me when I was a kid. (We won't discuss the 16 little braids I put in my own hair to be frizz-ready for our mother/daughter Ladies of the 80s photo. Yeah. Ladies attending Centerpointe's women's retreat tomorrow, be prepared.)

Anyway, it's a blessing to be able to share those mundane but important mom/daughter experiences with my girl.
