I think it is important that Freya knows about my life before she was born. Among other things, it will give her a sense of history and of self. I plan to tell her about my childhood, adolescence, college, etc, so she will have a real sense of who I am, and in turn, who she is. It will bring us closer together.

I can’t wait to tell her about horse camp, jazz choir, punk shows, road trips, going to England alone, how I met her father, our wedding day, etc. I hope she doesn’t think her mommy is boring!
