Letter 2: Protecting Our Home from Outside Noise Dear Partner, Today I want to talk about something that creeps into many families without warning—the outside voices. The advice, the opinions, the judgments from people who aren’t raising our kids, but somehow feel entitled to tell us how to live. Sometimes it comes from a good place. Sometimes it’s rooted in old patterns, fear, or control. But no matter where it comes from, we have to remember: this is our home. No one else knows the daily ins and outs of our life. No one else feels the weight of our decisions the way we do. No one else sees the little sacrifices, the private struggles, the thousand quiet moments of love that build the walls of this home stronger each day. And because of that, no one else gets to sit in the driver’s seat with us. It’s important that we protect the peace we’re creating—not out of pride, but out of wisdom. We can respect our families, honor where we came from, and still firmly guard the life we ...

Letter 1: Choosing Us Every Day Dear Partner, Before we are parents, before we are anything else, we are two people who chose each other. It’s easy to forget that in the middle of the noise—the homework battles, the grocery lists, the late-night wake-ups. But at the heart of everything we are building stands us. I want us to remember that choosing each other isn’t something we did once at the altar, or on the day we moved in together. It’s a daily decision. A quiet commitment whispered between the moments when no one else is looking. Because when we choose each other first—not in a selfish way, but in a rooted way—we give our children the greatest gift we could ever offer: a foundation built on love, not just duty. They watch us, more than we know. They feel the undercurrent of respect or resentment. They learn from the way we speak to each other when we’re tired, from the way we laugh after a hard day, from the way we apologize when we’re wrong. Choosing each other doesn’t me...

Legacy of Love: Turning Letters into a Family Tradition When we think about parenting, we often focus on the daily tasks—meals, homework, activities, bedtime routines. But raising children is about so much more than logistics. It's about creating an emotional home: a place where love, respect, and growth are constants, even when life feels anything but certain. That’s where the Legacy of Love letters come in. These letters are more than words on a page—they’re a blueprint for building a family culture rooted in trust, compassion, and intentional connection. Imagine this: once a year, you gather as a family—not for a major holiday or a party, but for something even deeper. You sit down together, maybe over breakfast or a quiet evening, and revisit the letters that remind you why you do what you do. You read them aloud, or silently reflect. You talk about what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and what dreams you still want to build together. Why Print the Letters? When somet...
