Just a quick shout out to two courageous families, who brought 2 beautiful baby girls into the world recently.

Marley Denise Ballman graces Minnesota with her undoubtedly vivacious (even if only 1 month) soul. I’m so excited for Derrick and Melissa, 2 of the chillest and creative cousins I know. And I can’t wait to get the 2 Marley’s together at some outdoor music festival in a couple of years. (My godson, almost 2, is also Marley.)

Ashley Dawn Lehman squeezed in as a Taurus, on May 20th. She’s blessed with kick ass parents, and I wish her all the best (you can get) in Kansas.

It’s times like these, when people I love and respect choose to create new little people and offer them to our culture and societies, that I remember what a blessing life can be and how important it is for us to keep our environment and our earth healthy. These little soon-to-be-rugrats deserve our natural resources as much as we do. Reduce (save $), Reuse (save even more $) and Recycle (feel good). </friendly environmental plug>
