these are the days. THE {rainy, no school, mama’s not working, spend the whole day in our undies} DAYS.
there is no gift worth enough, no cake big enough, no post long enough to even begin to touch what you mean to me, @rodneylama. but thanks to @hutchsevensix + @livingwithlandyn, i think we had THE most epic weekend - complete with teenage hangover and sideline view of a Nebraska bloodbath 😭. especially thankful today for the greatest adventure of my life: YOU. [HBD RDC.] ••• full wknd on the stories.
we interrupted this regularly scheduled Wednesday to fly to Chicago on a whim to surprise @juliannazobrist at her book release party (“Pull It Off” - out now!). to be honest it feels like such a small gesture -relative to the endurance and discipline it must’ve taken for her to write a whole book - all while mothering 3 kids, traveling the country as a baseball wife and upholding her title as best dressed in every room she’s ever walked in. but she pulled it off. with grace. like she always does. ••• for those of you in college who think you love your people now - believe me when I tell you there are depths and dimensions of friendship that you only find when you stick with those people for 16 years. levels of understanding, respect and empathy that no amount of adversity could ever touch. this morning as Jules went off to her radio interview and @betsyboyerjones flew back to LA for a mtg - I thought about us trying to help each other navigate our way through life back in the dorm rooms at Heron Hall. and i’m just really glad we’ve never stopped doing that.
The rain doesn’t care if you dance in it. It falls anyway.
The rain doesn’t care if you look at it. It falls anyway.
The rain doesn’t care if you catch it. It falls anyway.
*** tree embraces how the apple falls, no matter how close or far from the tree she might land.
***tree also accepts that the apple likely fell from a tree called magic and can take little to no credit for the beauty of the apple.
***tree makes executive decision to archive all awards show dresses for the apple upon realization that she’ll be 5’10” in no time. (didn’t get it from her daddy💁🏼‍♀️.)
I don’t like the word “hard”. It makes people think that something is bad just because it isn’t comfortable. What I do like is the word “work”. Because that makes people think there’s something in it for you, even if it doesn’t feel comfortable. So this morning Charlie said “Soccer is hard when you’re in it.” To which I would like to respond to with “Soccer is work when you’re in it”. And nobody knows that better than Nashville parents who survive 3 & 5 year old fall soccer in 95 degree heat. Rodney wears a towel on his head like we’re in Afghanistan. I bring 24 oz mimosas in Yeti’s. Today I heard myself actually promise my son a pony if he would just stand on the field. Whatever the case, we’re not leaving. Because if we leave, they think mom & dad quit hard things, so they should too. So, as I go run my sweaty family through a car wash let me leave you with the uplifting thought that “soccer is work”. But not hard. 😂
we smell like hot dogs and sweat. half of wilson county has seen my son naked. and no one needed stitches from the inflatables. feels like a good time to take it to the house. #itsalwayslaborwhenyouhavekidsday
“I wanna smell the water.” - said Rodney Clawson’s son. (also, happy glad-I-labored-him day)
how i know she’s mine: begged us to take her to the football game at 5 yrs old. #mustangcharlie
the part at 0:56 where he goes “shake it vidalia queen of my double wide trailer” tho... #fangirl
to travel to the big town. to create with people you admire. to build things from scratch. to tell the truth and make it rhyme. to celebrate on a balcony. and then to call it work is just beyond. best week ever for so many reasons with @eweisband @shanemcanally @bikejunkie72.
what a way to wake up in LA. 😭***immediately googles keto diet****
guess we shoulda been more specific when we said “if u get on the field we’ll get you a donut”. #blueFORDYtwo #firstgameproblems
It wasn’t even loose the night before. But the princess-in-training laid down for a nap and “just bit on a blanket”, until she ripped tooth number 2 straight outta her head. Guess my little powder puff might have a little UFC fighter in her after all. 💪🏼 • • • editor’s note: at press time, said tooth was yet to be found.
there are No. 1 parties. and then there’s THIS. // (swipe for 3 parts)@danandshay @jordankreynolds @wmnashville @wcnashville
