That exuberant shouting? Yep, that’s my crew.
Those infectious giggles? Definitely mine.
That chaotic cackling? You guessed it — all from my little ones. Yes, that joyful noise — it belongs to me and my three rambunctious, often messy, wonderfully loud children. Whether we’re in our home, visiting yours, at the grocery store, or dining out, we can’t help but bring our volume along with us. And frankly, why should we tone it down?
Our noise is not something to apologize for; it’s a testament to the vibrant life we’re nurturing together as a family. Each sound represents a moment of learning — my husband, my kids, and I are constantly discovering new things about ourselves and each other. Our noise embodies courage; I truly hope my children always feel empowered to let their voices be heard on issues they care about deeply.
To outsiders, our lively sounds may come off as disruptive or even disrespectful. But let me clarify: there is nothing disrespectful about love. What you are hearing is my love for my kids, their love for one another, and their love for the world around them. You’re witnessing me teach them to express love to others as well.
Children are meant to express themselves, and that includes all their happy, curious, and emotional sounds. I won’t apologize for their noise, and if you have kids, I encourage you not to either. To those who find our family’s sounds bothersome, I suggest this: make some joyful noise of your own; it will drown out what you hear from us and likely make you much happier too.

In summary, I will never apologize for the joyful noise of my children, as it reflects our love, learning, and courage. Embrace the sounds that come with family life; they are a beautiful part of our shared experience.
