Thoughts on the men I hope my sons become have been weighing heavy on my mind as of late. I recently wrote an article for mom.me that was more challenging than I expected it to be. Jason and I stayed up late trying to narrow down a list of life lessons we hope to tech our boys. My hope is to raise modern gentlemen: those that can swing a hammer, get down on the dance floor, scrub a toilet, and say they're sorry. And then Jason found me this quote, and it pretty much sums it up.

I also want to add that I think children learn best by example and it is for this reason that I am ever so grateful to be raising my boys with Jason. He models what it means to be a modern gentleman everyday. And like the enlightened renaissance man that he is, he does it with style and grace and the world's brightest smile on his face.
