Happy Friday Jr, ya’ll! I want to start by letting you all know about the Texas Forever tshirts on sale at Magnolia Market by Chip and Joanna Gaines of the HGTV show, Fixer Upper. All proceeds from the shirt sales through September will go to aid the families affected by Hurricane Harvey. Such a great cause by some pretty amazing people!! Get yours here today!!!!
Now on to the heavy. Recently an unfortunate situation happened to our family with regards to the blog. Some one took some of the photos and placed them on illicit websites. Now, the blog is public however, our images as with most blogs are copyrighted and not allowed for use without permission let alone used in an illegal manner. This situation has warranted us involving our lawyer as well as the US attorneys office. This is a very serious matter. Thus, the reason why I wanted to talk about keeping your teens safe. Even social media sites set on private can be used inappropriately in the wrong hands and people out there are sick. I know that now; this situation has disgusted me and made me loose some faith in humanity and even question the future of the blog. This platform is a place for fun and love, not the exploitation of myself or my daughter. Please make sure you are checking your kids online presence. Teen girls are generally the ones that fall victim to this online abuse and it is sickening. I included a link for some tips on keeping your kids safe. I could go on and on about my disappointment in what happened but I will spare you my swear word filled rant. I just want you all to take precaution and keep your kids innocent for as long as possible. They grow up too fast as it is. Please feel free to contact me if you’d like to talk or need any support. Take care of yourself and your family 🙂   ~Catherine
