I have many photos of my self in pink princess dresses playing in and covered in mud. My dad taught me and my two older brothers how to drink out of the hose on the side of the house (still do sometimes…) and his favorite phrase was “rub some dirt on it!”; until when I was four and actually did rub the gravel on the side of the curb on my knee, my mother was horrified and had to wash it out. All this to say, I absolutely loved my childhood and am so refreshed to see that it is continuing on in the newer generations. I see videos of Odette on your Instagram and she and I totally share the same personality, and with her having two older brothers as well, we are in the same shoes, she can do anything her brothers can and she can do it better because she can do it pretty and in pink! #girlpower

So nice to read, I could have written it myself, my kids are adults now, 18-20 and 22 and we also instilled all these lessons into our kids, we got many cuts and bruises and even broken arms. Sometimes I did not even dare to watch but they survived and it takes them into adult hood as a strong individuals and we still encourage them to enjoy life, do what you love best, explore, learn. It is a real reward when your kids tell you what a great job you did as a parent and that they appreciate you even more now they live on their own…so Gen, something to look forward too… but first …Stop and smell the dirty diapers! time flies.

This is truly inspiring!! And everything you have said gives positivity and good vibes in my life. All you advice and words about be true to yourself, to lead my example, courage, bravery and toughness, is beautiful and I loved how you put it all in words so you’re kids can understand. Also the way you say that trying brings you to be fearless makes me feel incredible and capable of achieving what I’m dreaming of. But your words about failure are terrific! I really think that way when I fail at something. But my parents don’t think the same way, they lose their minds if I fail at things. I’m and I wish they could understand that I’m learning, not failing.

I love this post! I try my hardest to avoid screens and bring my little girls outside. I see so many parents just throwing their phone or iPad at their kids. While that may work for them it doesn’t for us. My oldest who’s only 3 doesn’t know how to work any electronics while kids her age can use iPads. But I’m ok with that. She’s only little once,I want to enjoy it before electronics take over her life. Enjoy your summer!

Dear Gen you're so inspiring!! I'm looking for great human beings in the future. I had a good childhood, playing in the mud, playing soccer with my brother like Tom and Shep, I was a little boy, I didn't like dolls and girls stuff. Haha, good times ?

When you’re too early to the blog post so the giveaway link isn’t up XD

But I love this post! I grew up with my mom telling me to go outside and play as well and now with four younger siblings, I can see my dad and step-mom trying to instill that in them as well but it’s so hard in today’s world where everything is online. I am hoping that they still learn that being outdoors is the best cure for anything though.
