Every day at some point I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling.

And every day that I spend as Charlotte and Aiden's mother, I think about my own mother, my wonderful, thoughtful, hilarious mother.

I hope that my children will someday be as proud of me as I am of my mom. I am so grateful to be her daughter. I'm so grateful that she is Charlotte's and Aiden's grandmother. She makes me proud every single day.

Every day, turn off your phone/email for some part of the day.

I'm saying my rosary every day.

I'm learning every day.
