Women's March Phoenix

Over the weekend our little family made its way downtown to partake in the Women's March. Before we got there I really didn't know what to expect, but I was still absolutely blown away by the just how many people turned out. It's been reported that more than 20,000 people showed up! As I understand it, the numbers even shocked the event coordinators. I'm so proud of my home state coming together and support one another. 

You might have already seen this photo over on my Instagram, but I wanted to share it here too. Felix is why I marched, I hope to show him that the voices of the people can be powerful. I want him to learn to be a good person, one who treats everyone with kindness and respect, to see that love does trump hate, and to be on the side of progress. I hope his generation will take what we're doing today and continue to push forward toward equality.

Did any of you all make it out to a march? If so, share links to your blog posts/photos in the comments, I'd love to see them!

Hello 2017

Hello, 2017! I'm finally getting a post up, and only 16 days into the new year. I'm really hoping that this isn't a sign of what blogging will be like this year. 29 posts in 2016 is a little sad, haha. Honestly, I still feel a little torn with how much to share about Felix, I have really mixed feelings about it. On one hand, he basically is the cutest kid and I just want to share all the pictures, but on the other, he doesn't really have a say on this whole thing and one day he may not like it. Does any other blogging parents out there feel that way? I guess for now there will be the occasional photo of him on the blog and over on my Instagram. 

In general, I feel like I am in pretty good company when I say 2016 had it's ups and downs for sure, and 2017 is definitely going to be a lot of the same. I'm hopeful, this year, for a lot more ups than downs! Happy New Year everyone!
