To My Son: I Called You Baby First

You’ll flirt.

You’ll hold hands.

You’ll ask her to be your girlfriend.

You’ll go on dates. You’ll forget the rest of the world exists. Your friends will punch you in the arm and say, “Dude, where have you been?” You’ll ask for money to take her to play Top Golf or bowling or out to eat. I’ll say no and give you jobs as a way to earn some extra cash instead. (Gahhh … you have the meanest mom in the world.)

You’ll roll your eyes, but you’ll do it anyways. You’ll mow the grass. You’ll wash my car. You’ll haul all the cardboard to get recycled. You’ll do it because she’ll be worth it.

Amy Weatherly loves bright lipstick, graphic tees, and Diet Dr. Pepper a little more than she probably should. Most days, you can find her in sweatpants and earrings the size of her face shuffling kids back and forth like a crazy person. Her family is her home. Her friends are her safe space. And her passion is helping women find courage, confidence, and the deep-rooted belief that their life has a deep and significant purpose if they will just find the courage to live fierce and love free. You have probably seen her face on The Today Show website, MSN.com, Good Morning America, Yahoo.com, Love What Matters, Focus on the Family, and of course, her own social media pages. She was also named one of the Top 20 Mom Bloggers to follow in 2018 by MomCafe. Make sure to come follow her on Facebook.
