![]() ![]() Like a photograph, their product is a reminder of the precious moments that fly by way too fast. What they create is not just an item to buy for your baby, but a memory to keep forever. Little Unicorn is based around the idea that childhood is fleeting. The chores, the messes, the do lists, social media…you know, life? How was I going to write about something close to my heart when I had two wild boys running around fighting for my attention? ![]() Like most parents, I tend to feel consumed and overloaded with all that has to be done in one single day. I pushed it off because naturally, that’s how I work. So when they asked me to write a blog post, I was excited and nervous. When I started writing for Little Unicorn, I was already in love with the prints, the colors, the brand-all of it. Maybe the man really hated Loretta’s snort when she laughed, but now misses it more than anything. Ok, maybe he didn’t really hate it, but can’t we all relate to that idea? Sure, it was an ad selling Google, but it also had a powerful message for everyone, at any age, toīE MINDFUL OF THE LITTLE THINGS WE MAY TAKE FOR GRANTED ABOUT OUR LOVED ONES. “Remind me Loretta hated my mustache,” and “Remember she always snorted when she laughed.” It ends with, “Remember I’m the luckiest man in the world.” He asks Google to remember certain things about her. An older man is scrolling through old photos of his late wife. Nope, can’t even go there.Īnd then there was the Google Super Bowl commercial, “ Loretta.” If you haven’t seen it, get ready for a tear-jerker. The fear of my husband and kids losing me caused sheer panic. The fear of losing my husband flashed before my eyes. My overthinking and anxiety quickly made its comfortable way in as it naturally does. ![]() All I could imagine were these people in California whom I did not know, going through unbearable pain-and it ripped my heart out. I could not peel my eyes away from these photos and of the stories that went along with them. LYING IN BED, I SCROLLED THE CONSTANT FEEDS LOADED WITH MEMORIES, TRIBUTES AND YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL, SMILING FACES TAKEN TOO SOON. If you’re like me, I couldn’t sleep the night following the news. Last Sunday’s news of Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crashing and the loss of nine people-parents who left kids behind, children who left parents behind-it was too hard to handle. However, a few things have remained stuck in my mind over the last week or so, and seeing this is a blog devoted to parents or parents-to-be, I felt it only natural to write about them from a mom-perspective. For my first post, I planned to write about a fun topic, like what to do with kids during the long days of winter (stay tuned) or ways I (occasionally) fit in exercise. ![]()
