Every child’s journey to discovering their talents is as unique as the talent itself. But when parents can really notice and support the things that their little ones are naturally gravitating towards, magic tends to happen. 
Case and point: an impeccably adorable maternity shoot…directed by a toddler who’s clearly a photographer in the making. 
In August of 2023, Skye Hitchcock posted a little behind-the scenes video showing how her young son Bridger offered his keen eye. 
In the clip, Hitchcock wears a lovely white mini dress and stands in front of colorful flowers as Bridger directs her to do things like ““Rub the baby, and cheese” and look up into the sun (a bit of a tough ask, but Hitchcock found a way).

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

In West Warwick, Rhode Island, a simple act of kindness from a toddler became a profound moment of comfort for a grieving father. Lindsey Sheely had ordered a pizza for her family on a Saturday night when her 2-year-old son, Cohen, decided to chase after the delivery man, Ryan Catterson, and give him a hug. What seemed like a small gesture turned out to be a significant emotional moment for Ryan, who had recently lost his 16-year-old daughter, according to ABC7 New York.

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!
