Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the long weekend!! It’s extra-special around here, as we’re celebrating the holiday and Mr. College’s birthday!
I can hardly believe it, but my darling baby boy turns 20 today. #gulp He was just 8-years-old when I started this blog, so many of you have watched him grow up right along with me. He’s a wonderfully smart, adventurous, kind-hearted man, and I am beyond proud to be his mom.
I feel a little pang of sadness at saying goodbye to the last traces of his boyhood, but am also so very excited to have a front row seat to what he does next! Of course parenting a semi-adult is a whole new skillset, so feel free to send me any and all advice, ha!
Retailers are celebrating, too, with a slew of incredible holiday sales…including 20% off our GxHSP Summer of Fun Collection!!! Several styles still have great stock (Sun. Sugar. Summer. Tee, 24 Hour Romper, Serene Morning Henley and Shorts… to name a few!).

Happy Birthday to your son! If I remember correctly, he used to be your photographer back in the beginning:)
Thanks so much, Kathy! And yes, it used to be a whole family affair! xoxo, C
Cassie, you don’t need any advise – you have done a wonderful job! Just love, love and love some more! Thank you for all your hard work on this blog. It blows my mind, all the information you put out each week. God bless the USA and God bless you!
Oh gosh Kathleen, that is just the sweetest thing to say! Thank you for making this girl’s day! xoxoxo, C
Happy 4th and Happy Birthday to your sweet son! My youngest turns 20 in August. In my experience, the 20’s are kind of a hard decade of our kids trying to find their place in this world. I think one of the most difficult things for us has been that my son, in particular, has come out of college expecting to be closer to the top in a company than he has actually been. It takes time to work your way up. He feels like he knows it all, when in actuality, experience is a really important teacher. Also, I have had to change the tone in which I give advice and pull back some when I don’t really want to. It’s hard to let your kids make their own mistakes, but also an important lesson. Good luck! I know you’ll do great!
Amazing advice, thank you, Kelly!! xo. C
