Chapter 9: Rooted

Somewhere between Chapter 1 and Chapter 9, we put down roots.

What started as a reason to gather around a table has grown into something so much more — friendships strengthened, new ones formed, stories shared, laughter that carried across the table, and the comfort of knowing there is always a place for you here.

For Chapter 9, each woman went home with forget-me-not seeds — a tiny reminder of something I hope lasts well beyond these twelve chapters.

Life will change. Seasons will change. Our tables may change. But I hope we will always be rooted in friendship and never forget what we created together this year.

Because maybe that’s the beautiful thing about putting down roots: even when you can’t see them, they’re still there.

Chapter 9 — Rooted.
And what a beautiful thing we’re growing.

And just like that… summer is over.

Grade 6 for her — her last year at this school, and somehow the end of an era for our family. And Grade 10 for him — which I’m still not quite sure how we got to already.

We had the BEST summer. It flew by, like they always seem to now.

I love my kids. But more than that, I genuinely love spending time with them. I loved our slower mornings, our late-night talks, our walks, and all the random moments in between.

When I was a teenager, we called it PD’ing — pointless driving. Getting in the car with nowhere we really needed to go, music on, talking about everything and nothing.
And this summer, we PD’d A LOT.

Ice cream? I’ll drive.
Need to get out of the house? I’ll drive.
Want to go for a walk at 10 p.m.? I’m in.
Want to sit in the car and talk? Always.
Because I know these days are going way too fast, and I’ll take whatever time with them I can get.

So today, as school starts and the schedules, practices, homework, activities and routines all come rushing back, I already miss them a little.

Have the BEST year, you two.

Join everything. Talk to everyone. Try something new. Work hard. Be kind. Have fun. And make some really great memories.

And don’t forget your dear old mom.

I’ll be right here, ready for a walk, a late-night talk, an ice cream run… or a little pointless driving.

Grade 6 & Grade 10 — here we go.

Chapter 8: Gathered.

There is something powerful about simply gathering.
Around a table. Over a meal. Through laughter, stories, celebrations and all the pieces of life we bring with us.

Eight chapters in - maybe the most beautiful part of this little tradition isn’t where we go or what we do — it’s that we keep choosing to come back to the table.

To make space for one another. To stay connected. To remind each other that we have a place where we belong.

Because in a world that can sometimes feel very big, there’s something pretty special about knowing there’s a seat at a table that’s yours.

Chapter 8 — Gathered.
And so very grateful for everyone around this table.

Chapter 7: Uncorked.

It’s funny how friendships happen.

Not all at once. They happen slowly. One dinner. One conversation. One vulnerable moment. One “me too.” One person choosing to show up, again and again.

Without realizing it, somewhere along the way, we uncork ourselves.

The carefully curated version fades. The real stories emerge. The hard days. The proud moments. The dreams we’re almost afraid to say out loud. And in return, we’re met with empathy instead of judgment.

Last nights little gift was a w**e opener—not because we needed another one, but because it felt symbolic.

The best bottles are meant to be opened.
The best conversations are meant to be shared.
And maybe the best friendships are the ones that quietly uncork us into the people we were always meant to be.

More than halfway through our story, and I have a feeling the best chapters are still ahead.
