SEPTEMBER! 💫 We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, back to school and more.

As summer winds down, I’m going through photos and making note of my favorite moments, like this one on the @jackass red carpet with some of our favorite people.

10 years ago TODAY (thank you FB memories), we met these friends and they became our chosen family. Our emergency contacts. Our surprise community in a city that makes you work for it.

We met at our new elementary school in 2016, a fragile year that Jeff and I were limping through following a time of loss and heartache. We never expected the fellow first grade parents to be the key to a whole new world in Los Angeles.

But these 3 families became and remain my orbit in this city. We’ve made a million memories including this one at the premiere in June, where it felt like two of our worlds colliding but also we couldn’t imagine a milestone moment without them there.

The daughters that brought us together are all independent now, driving themselves around town and thinking about college. A lot happens in a decade. Life changes shape constantly.

But walking my tiny 6yo into school 10 years ago today, I had no idea the gifts these crazy people were about to bestow....and how much it would change our family life for the better. ⚡️❤️

26 years of jackass…culminating last night in an epic celebration of this final film in a franchise that has shaped pop culture (and our whole lives).

I am in awe of all of it. The work. The injuries. The friendships. How much jackass has meant to so many.

Putting on sequins and tuxes to bid it farewell felt exactly right.

Also there was a jaw dropping drone show the likes of which Hollywood has never seen 🤣

So much love for these people and this journey.

Best and last. ☠️🖤🌈

May 2026 was absolutely bananas with riches. 💫 Friends, family, celebrations, and so.much.volleyball. Like hundreds of hours of volleyball. 🤣 On the beach, mostly, with an epic playoff run then multiple tournaments and camps and flights to camps and there is sand everywhere now, and forever more.

I also got to keynote a corporate retreat in Wyoming (my first time there!) where I saw a moose minutes after wishing I could see a moose. ✨

It was Maycember Mayhem and I soaked up every minute. June is shaping up to be even crazier and I’m just holding on for the happiest ride. 🎂☠️🎉😎

LOCKED IN.

Dig Pink 2025 was unreal. Goal was $6K. Wolverines raised $13,205.84 more than double our original goal

Every shirt sold.
Every poster made.
Every raffle ticket dropped. 🎟️

Every pink donut. 🍩
Every pink matcha. 🍵
Every pink shave ice 🍧.

It all added up.

Big thanks to HW facilities, all the incredible @hwparents volunteers and the Dig Pink team: Rebecca Alig, Kim Carvalho-Faucher, Karen Faulhaber, Saher Hamideh, Nelly Zahiri and to Coach Morgan for your incredible leadership!

Wolverine pride. Locked in. Unstoppable.

Our Somos PSV Parent Advisor Group has crafted an amazing way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month across schools with Somos PSV! Hispanic and Latino cuisine is often a combination of indigenous, African and European influences — these foods can provide insight into historical migration, patterns, and cultural fusion. That’s why in addition to shining light on the ways in which your school might already celebrate we invite you to share more with us about the cuisine in your life that has significance, history, and meaning for you. Overwhelmed by that? Then focus on chips, dips, salsa and guacamole (or if that doesn’t work, anything native to your heritage/culture) and most importantly, tell us why it’s special to you. Follow these steps to help us amplify how we Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! #celebratehhm #somosflavor #ittakesavillage #privateschool #privateschoolvillage #belonging #representation #celebratehispanicheritage #hispanicheritagemonth #nationalhispanicheritagemonth
