the CHILDHOOD series
_
We believe in childhood, in letting kids be little and awkward and snuggly and free. We believe in family, that we always have one another and that wherever we are is home. We believe in adventure, and that the Good Life is more thrilling, more satisfying, more sidesplitting fun than cheap imitations. We believe in imagination — in great books on rainy days, in long car trips with goofy entertainment, and that the good stuff happens after you set down your phone. We believe in blowing bubbles, building forts, chasing fireflies, and playing dress-up. We believe that boredom is often the beginning of something wonderful. We think puzzles, board games, hard work, and opening the door for someone should never go too of style. We believe being kind matters more than being cool, and character more than winning. We know that innocence and purity are still worth fighting for. We believe in “I’m sorry” and “I’ll always love you.” It’s not an easy thing to build a childhood.
But in the long run?
It’s worth it — for all of us.
