I’m a native born Californian. I grew up in LA. This great state is where I have lived my whole life. Only after several summer vacations w/my hubby and kids, throughout the lower 48 did I realize how great CA is. Tonight, watching FireAid fills by heart with tears & LA pride. 🤍💛🧡🩵☮️☮️☮️

All my life I have been a dramatic person. It’s who I am and it feels “normal” to me to express my feelings this way. Let me say, I want to wear sackcloth today and pour ashes on my head because I am in mourning. I guess I could just wear all black. Heavy sigh. 😞 #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou

Parents: I flew across the country to be with my daughter for the first fitting of her bridal gown. My best girlfriend from college came too. My heart is full. It is filled with love & gratitude. Friendly reminder: Invest in the people who matter most to you. 💖❤️💖 #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou

Parents: Our child makes a request, we ask them, “What’s the magic word?” They say, “Pleeeeease.” We then comply. Did you know, the real magic word, “abracadabra” means “I create as I speak.” So, watch what you speak about your child. You are creating who they are as you speak. #Fortheloveofchildren

Today we are “DeChristmasing” the house. This is how I have always felt about this day, even when I was a little girl & my grandparents would pack it all up. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Hello Blue Sky. I’m excited to be here! I just retired from the public school system after 38 years as an educator & school counselor. Working on MFT hours. Looking forward to acquiring wisdom & imparting some of my own based on what children have taught me. #askmslou #fortheloveofchildren #ftloc

The agency where I am earning my 3000 MFT hours has a mosaic made by young people. Each tile was hand made. I love seeing this one every morning when I walk in. I think it’s a great reminder how to start our day & move through it. People need our smiles. 😊 #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Sugar was trying oh so hard to stay awake. You see, she suffers from FOMO…but those eyes could not stay open. Does she remind you of any of your children? Sweet dreams, Sugar. #Fortheloveofdogs #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou

This is the Sunday before the routines begin again. To soothe the Sunday “scaries” I pet my 2 pups, read, & put a YouTube video on of a “Cozy Coffee Shop w/jazz.”There are lots of things you can do to be good to yourself and stave off the dread of Monday. Peace. ☮️ #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou

Parents/Guardians: Are you gearing up? Getting ready to have your children resume their routine of school? Stay strong. Help tire them out tomorrow so they can go to bed on time. It’s a great way to set them up for success for the second half of the year. #Fortheloveofchildren #askmslou #parents

Parents/Guardians: A great way to help your children feel like it is a new year & they can start fresh is to help them clean their room (including purging drawers/closets of obsolete clothing or stuff). Many people benefit emotionally from a nice environment. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Parents-Guardians: As we look to 2025, we may be apprehensive about the country’s direction, but let’s have high hopes for our children, expect the best for them & from them (note: the best is not perfection). After all, often we get what we expect. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Parents/Guardians: It’s a time of reflection and hope for the new year, a new beginning, a fresh start. We don’t have to do it perfectly (whatever our new aspirations be), we just have to do it. Help your children embrace this mindset of improvement, not perfection. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou

We just saw Moana2. I loved it! My favorite aspect about her story is how impactful her grandma was. Her grandma saw who Moana was & believed in her & helped her find her calling. Grandparents: You matter. You can be influencers.You have power to change your grandchildren’s lives. Reach out. ❤️🥰😍

Last night we were at the Happiest Place on Earth with our daughter & her fiancé. We had a wonderful time. As a parent, it is a great gift to have your grown kids want to be around you. Do your best to be parents your kids like, not just love. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Parents: It’s so easy to get stressed out this time of year. We want to make everything perfect & make sure we get everyone we love the perfect gift. Today, I locked my keys in the car. I was doing too many things at once. Do your very best to stay patient w/your children & others. Spread cheer! 🥳

I have this photo of Kamala hanging in my home. I was so optimistic and I had such high hopes for all of us, for our country. I can’t bring myself to take it down. Now, I can’t listen to or watch 1” of news. Thank you for the political posts. They help. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Parents/Guardians: A situation this week reminded me how dangerous it is when a parent has a favorite child. Warning: It is very destructive to the non-favorites & can cause damage for the whole of their lives. So, STOP! See the beauty in all of your children. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Hello Blue Sky. I’m heading to a middle school to co-facilitate a group of middle schoolers who have experienced at least one traumatic event in their short little lives. May this post inspire you to feel grateful today. I send you peace. ☮️

Adults (who are around a child today): Take a moment to tell a child something nice (from the 💝). Give the gift of seeing something good in them and saying it. They are important and often they don’t think they really are. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

As a career educator & counselor (38 years), I couldn’t agree more. Too many dedicated educators are being scapegoated by either bad, negligent, permissive, or absentee parents. Take your pick.

Parents & Guardians: Friendly reminder: During this holiday season spend as much time enjoying your children as you are able. It doesn’t have to be BIG. Simply, your time & your attention. It sends a beautiful message of love & significance to them. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Parents/Guardians: It’s the season for giving. This is a great time to teach young kids small acts of altruism and older kids bigger acts of giving. We are social beings & this helps us feel good. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou Doing good is good for you, research shows www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

It’s the holiday season. Children are home from school. Parents & guardians please spend less time on your phone or other devices & more time looking into your children’s eyes. Unexpected lifelong happy memories occur on days like these. #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou #FTLOC

Parents, Guardians, & Adults who work w/children: A friendly reminder: It’s almost Thanksgiving. This is a perfect time to tell children you are thankful for them & WHY. You can name their beautiful qualities, or the gifts & talents they possess. Words are powerful! #Fortheloveofchildren #Askmslou
