OUR DAY TO DAY ON INSTAGRAM

#ad My fam is on a little road trip adventure this weekend to Lake Erie thanks to @shoresandislands (primarily Port Clinton, Cedar Point, and Kelleys Island). I’ll be unplugging during the days, just taking a few photos and videos (and we’re doing some old school polaroids!) but I won’t be posting on social media during the days. But I am recapping the day each night after we get the kiddos to bed — both in an IG live and with a few highlights from the day in my stories. Today was a pretty neat day. We learned first hand that bison have really bad breath and that deer will literally try to climb in your car for a carrot. We also learned Quincy will probably have a phobia of llamas for life and isn’t a big fan of Safari-style parks. We visited some really cool places and the boys had a ball. The adventures were great and the memories were worth the lessons (More in my stories!) #islandsandshores #fredrickfamilytravels #fredricksinlakeerie ohioadventures #ohioexplored

Don’t be fooled by the Executive Order Trump signed yesterday. It only lasts 20 days (unless he extends) and it does NOTHING to help the 2300+ children and babies who have already been taken from their families and put into child internment camps (or put on a plane and shipped across the country to foster care). Don’t stop fighting. Don’t stop paying attention. Continue to take action for these children: 1. Call your reps (or any reps). Did you know that not one Republican has signed the “Keep Families Together Act” (SB-3036). Call 202-224-2131, state your zip code, and when connected say “I’m from _______ and I support SB-3036.” 2. Sign up for @Resistbot. You can go to their FB page and tap “send message” and say RESIST or text RESIST to 50409. It will help you write to your reps and send your letters automatically. 3. Donate to organizations fighting to stop this inhuman policy and reunite families: @raicestexas @aclu_nationwide @together.rising + The Florence Project. My friend @_stillwerise is also having an auction to raise $. If you speak Spanish and have a legal background you can also volunteer to provide legal services. 4. Go to this very detailed google doc with more ways to help: https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/16Z04gxhORlgmS5sDhnX_ryDfSF8T2a6AwZWV1PMY-H8/mobilebasic 5. Keep showing up! Don’t forget these children. Regardless of political affiliation, religious beliefs, and social activism we should all be able to agree that children don’t belong in cages. Infants shouldn’t be taken from their mothers. Families (many of whom are seeking political asylum) should not be separated. Do the right thing. The humane thing. Have empathy and rise up and protect these kids. Fight to reunite these families. In whatever way you are able. #keepfamiliestogether #reunitethefamilies #humanityoverpolitics

Many of you have asked how Calvin has been doing since our Memorial Day scare so I thought I would share our current status. I have had to do a glucose check every morning as soon as he wakes up and they have all been great. We have to give him a snack 30 minutes prior to bedtime (which is basically every kid’s dream, right?). But we still don’t know why his blood sugar went so low or if it will happen again. So we’ve checked back into @nationwidekids to do a 20 hour monitored fast and run some tests. We’ll basically be starving him for a day and letting his glucose go low on purpose so run tests and see how he responds, which sounds about as fun as a root canal. I almost packed a cooler of booze for me but thought it might be frowned upon. Fingers crossed he does ok and we don’t we survive our fast (I’ll be starving with him in solidarity). Good thoughts and positive vibes always welcome ❤️
