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!

VERY serious. Thanks, love! Dream collab. We need to create the next gen of women who change the world 💓

This is too cute. Your daughter is a lucky girl to have such a cool and encouraging mom!

Thank you, Jess!!! As a weird artsy mom who spent most of her life as a competitive athlete, it’s so fun to have her bring out this side of me that was a little bit suppressed. 🥹

The best mom and daughter duo! I love your ornaments, I wish I was local so I could buy one!!

Traci Landy's avatar

Appreciate you, Ariane!! They have been super fun to make. I feel like I may buy some off my daughter for myself to give out during the holidays! Lol.

Great idea, handmade gifts are the best!

Absolutely loving the shark inspired fits! I'm somewhere between a whale shark and a nurse shark.

Traci Landy's avatar

Thank you, Amanda!!! I love that. I feel very nurse shark as well. I also can’t stop watching videos about how sweet they are!!

Tiger shark reporting for duty! This is so cute, Traci, and you are such a great mom to encourage her concern for the environment like this. Will you save me an ornament til we’re in town next? I’ll pay top dollar!

Traci Landy's avatar

Too kind, of course we will! Thank you for the kindness & support!!

GENIUS. Loving the Great White and the Tiger Shark options, though all are absolute bangers. And I'm totally inspired by your collaboration with your daughter and channeling her interests into such a fun and creative post. That's some next level Momming, my friend!

You’re a gem. And as the mom of a non-sports kid I know you understand the value of these missions! Lol 💓

I love your mom-ing! Having fun and leaning into their interests is the best!

Traci Landy's avatar

You’re too kind! I mean, the least I could do is cultivate their weirdness and make sure they never lose it as they grow up! 🥲

Momo's avatar

Yes! And it makes parenting more fun too !

Traci Landy's avatar

Nailed it 💞

If sharks had a personality, the nurse shark would be the pal cancelling all plans to stay home… so she’s an Aquarius?

Traci Landy's avatar

She very much is!!! Except she likes human affection & idk if it’s me as a Jan Aquarius but I’m not tryna hug anyone except my two kids. 🤪😂

Christina Cardy, DNP's avatar

No because I’m a February and same

Meggie Arbelaez's avatar

Those ornaments are cute!! Love how you leaned into what your daughter is into, maybe I should start writing about Bubble Guppies!

Traci Landy's avatar

Appreciate you. If you do start writing about the guppies, I’m all in. PS- all time favorite episode is Space Guppies! 🪐

Xue's avatar

Can’t love these enough! And I would buy those ornaments! So gorgeous! Such a lovely idea.
