Things I Cried About this Weekend

He’s off.


My teenager — my actual baby who was just a wide as he was tall, who was playing with plastic dinosaurs like yesterday — is at sleepaway camp.


This isn’t his first year away, but this year just felt differently.


I’m proud.

I’m excited for him.


But I also may have cried in the car… and at Orange Theory… and while folding his socks 😭😭😭



Tears of joy for his growth and independence. Tears of love and the emotional gut-punch of letting go.


Tell me: What absurd or real thing made you cry this weekend?
