Hey Family Brand community! Chris and Melissa here, and we're excited to share something we’ve been reflecting on since our amazing 4th of July weekend. This week, we dive into the "cool aunt and uncle effect," where we noticed our kids absorbing wisdom from adults other than us--maybe even more effectively! 

It's about recognizing that sometimes, the best lessons aren't taught by us but by the cool people we choose to surround our kids with. During our time in Utah with the Alexander family, we saw firsthand how other adults could positively impact our children. Their approach to interacting with our kids wasn't just welcoming; it was genuinely impactful, shaping conversations that mattered.
