Phoenix Zoo Lights Sneak Peek

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

Phoenix-zoo-lightsLast week, our friends at Toyota invited us to the Phoenix Zoo to get a preview of ZooLights, and also check out a few of their new cars for 2015. During the day, Jade put a ton of miles on a sporty 2015 Camry. The kids and I joined him later to see ZooLights, pretty much by ourselves.

zoo-lights-01I arrived a bit early, just before sunset, so I walked Rocco and Gigi around in their double (wide) stroller to see some of the lights. Earlier in the day, I told Rocco we were going to the zoo. This was his first trip to the zoo, and he was most excited to see the zebras. He just kept repeating beeba (zebra) all day. When we first arrived, I was happy we found the zebras before it got too dark for him to see them. Rocco kept pointing and saying “beeba, beeba!”. He was so excited.

phoenix-zoo-lights-3When we got to the camel area, I told him to check out the camels and he kept saying “knee, knee”. At first, I was so confused, but then it hit me. One of his  favorite books right now talks about zoo animals and their activities (beat your chest like a gorilla, turn your head like a penguin). In the book, it says, bend your knee like a camel. He couldn’t say camel, but he could say knee. Figuring out his rationalization was so darn cute!

What is your biggest insecurity? . For all of you What is your biggest insecurity? 
.
For all of you who have commented on my confidence, it will surprise you to know I’ve actually been insecure about my figure most of my life. I grew up in the era when straight, thin bodies were idolized, and I didn’t see my curvy shape in media. 
.
Although it might seem crazy to say, I actually thank @kimkardashian for making hourglass figures like mine cool again. I constantly see women on TikTok paying thousands of dollars to get the curves I’ve tried to hide most of my life. Seeing more diversity in body types in media and advertising has definitely helped me to feel more secure in my shape. 
.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve shifted the way I style my body too. I used to wear a lot of a-line dresses and fuller cuts. Now, I always try to show off my shape. I’m still self-conscious a lot of the time, but I’m working on it and I’m learning to love my shape a little more everyday.

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world. 
.
Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.
.
I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend
