We had way too much fun shooting family pics the other day with Crystal at @lilmuntzterphotography! Nick and I could not stop trying to make each other crack. Or maybe we were trying to make Crystal crack. Either way... epic pics 😂😍

On #worldkindessday I thought I'd share our family mantra. I say this to my kids every morning as they're flying out the door to school, and I put it in the dedication in my first novel, #HidingHaelo .
.
Have you done something kind today? Have you witnessed kindness? I watched some pretty wonderful humans doing wonderfully, kind human things today. It's just the little things, nothing big or elaborate, just gentle human kindness. But isn't it those kinds of subtle things that make the biggest difference in the world?

I ❤️ Mesa. Something about it just sits right and wonderfully in my soul. And the revitalization going on in downtown Main Street is spot on. The hubs and I went for a bike ride through downtown yesterday and had dinner at Mangos Mexican Cafe to celebrate my latest novel.
.
The street lights twinkled, guys.
.
We peopled-watched from their patio as a mom and her two kids walked by after violin lessons over at Milano's Music (kids excited, mom gushing praises). We watched a couple with matching tattoos sleeves finish their dinner and walk quietly hand in hand up the street. We watched an older lady walking her dog, and another lady talking to her friend about the book she wanted to buy from the used bookstore up the way. .
I saw a fellow author I know sit down to eat with her family, and I watched a teenager with ear buds studying from a textbook. .
The lights, the sounds, the textures and smells and nostalgia and history that radiates from that little spot in Arizona fascinates me. Nick and I have fantasized about living in a loft above one of the shops on Main Street since the day we got married. .
Do you have a spot like that? One that is so grounded and real and right there for the taking, yet also has that whimsical element of cozy, dreamy, make-believe wonder? .

The cutest little monster you ever did see. Fun fact: she runs around the house in this growling and scaring her older brother. "I fight bad guys, mom. And Nash." Girlfriend can't be intimidated. Also, I got *one* picture of the boy, and only because he wanted to see how his ninja swords glowed. The eldest daughter is growing up and I can't handle it. She trick or treated with friends this year. With friends! Not with me!! 😭😭😭 I didn't even get a picture!!!
