An inspiration my friend - I love how ready you always are to help your kids with their passions while threading it with the things you love, too. A very fun and SERIOUS post!

From one mother of a shark obsessed daughter to another - this post nearly made me cry.

On an energetic level, I’m a Nurse Shark - sounds heavenly - but on a style level I’m a little bit Great White mixed with a Mako.

Too kind!!! Oh I love your shark combo!

Learning all the weird animal facts from my six year old has been an unexpected parenting joy for me. Loved this one, and love how you encourage kind hearts in your kiddos :)

This post definitely made a splash! I love how it covers so many angles, time with your daughter, educating us, and creating so many cool outfits. What’s not to 💕?

Traci Landy's avatar

This means the world, Charu! THANK YOU! We're out here just trying to do all the things -- dress great, save the sharks, make crafts.. but weirdly, I'm loving it?!

Only you could turn sharks into a chic, philanthropic endeavor! My 5-year-old resident shark expert would absolutely approve.

Traci Landy's avatar

THANK GOODNESS IT GOT THE SEAL OF APPROVAL! Thank you, Madeline!! xx

Such a cool way to connect with a young soul and their vulnerability to the world 🫶🏼 also - love the tiger shark outfit 😎

Traci Landy's avatar

TYSM!!! We are trying out best over here, ;) This is coming form the mother who as a kid used to write letters to the President about recycling, lol! xx (Bill Clinton did in fact write back!)

On Shopping My Closet's avatar

Omg! I love it! 😃 the only time I ever got a letter from a president was when I was giving up my Polish citizenship to get the Danish - back then Denmark did not allow double citizenship (bummer!!) - and I actually god a goodbye letter from the Polish president 😁

I'm a whale shark mama, I'm a whale shark!

Now, how can I get my hands on one of those fancy-dancy ornaments? I know I can't make a house call, but can they ship by Pony Express? Asking for a friend....

Traci Landy's avatar

YAY!!! I love that! We can most definitely ship!! We just got compostable bubble mailers, LOL! xx

Evonne Sturm's avatar

Yesssssss

This brought me so much joy—I love whale sharks and I love this post!! It just kept getting better. You and your daughter are straight up goals and I couldn’t believe how perfect the OOTSs were. So on the nose.

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, Christina!!! You made our day!

I don't know how I missed this. But you know your daughter has that Something Special. Can't wait to see her Big Future.

This is the most delightful, refreshing Substack on the planet. Fashion plus Shark Crossover Event.

Off to get my Mako Shark fit ready for the day.

Traci Landy's avatar

She is the daughter of a woman who used to write letters to every single president about my critiques and how we need to make the world better, LOL! Thank you for the kind words! IDK, Nina-- I can't take the title for most delightful bc The Seasonalist always makes my heart ridiculously happy. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
