What a great response to the question. Also funny timing, but my 10 year old asked me just this week, “why did you stop drinking?” My answer was: it wasn’t lifegiving. I hear you on the momentary nostalgia piece, and what a gift we’re giving our kids (and ourselves).
I really relate to this - particularly the ting of nostalgia that can find us when we reminisce on the “bigger” days. But the big loud moments typically ended with a big fall of regret when alcohol was front and center.

And what an awesome response you gave your 10 yr old!! 🙌🏻

A calm small quiet weekend is so much better 💕💕
