I absolutely LOVED your interview with Charlie. (Good job, Charlie! As a former teacher, I liked how he used "you provide a lot of data" when describing your work.) My favorite part is that you call your kids downstairs when you get a new subscriber. ♥️

And, the lineup of links you gave after were amazing. I'm now going to spend my day thinking about the new coffee inspired Nikes.

Last comment. I can't wink either.

Such a fun read. I should do this with my son for a blog post. We have "just a few" more years of history together and I'm sure he would have a unique perspective. Thanks for sharing.

As the mom of a now 27-yr old "boy", Charlie is so articulate and expressive for his age! That's AWESOME.

Love this. Convos as they morph into adults are so real and amazing! And life changing…adding salt to the glass?! I drink mineral water and lime all day, now Redmond Life Salt (shameless plug, no affiliation) on the rim is going to be even more delicious!

This is so sweet; one of my favorite writings to date! (I also may have teared up a little, at the sweetness between you and Charlie.) --From one boy mom to another. xoxo
