it started with an email with my favorite t-shirt designer, Amanda, with Eight Baby Legs.

you might remember that I adore Amanda,

that she’s created all the birthday shirts my boys have worn for their parties,

that she’s a-maz-ing.

she’d seen a line of shirts for back to school,

and while the thought of “be cool” and “be rad”

do sound fun,

it’s really not what my family is all about.

we want our boys to be worried about others,

to put God first,

to know that they can make a difference.

we wish them to have

the most

kind hearts.

so it was an easy choice for their newest shirts

…BE KIND

to everyone,

every day,

and do it with your whole heart.

thank you Amanda, you are one of my favorites. xx
