In this video, I let our kids throw a huge dance party at our house… and honestly, it might’ve been a complete FAIL (at least for a minute). Rykel had a “special someone” in mind, and the whole night had that nervous, awkward, exciting energy that comes with putting yourself out there. We’re a family of 8, so chaos is basically our love language, but this wasn’t just about dancing—it was about giving our daughter a moment where she could be brave and feel supported. We talk a lot about creating safe spaces, and this party was exactly that. Instead of trying to control every detail, we focused on connection—being present without hovering, laughing through the awkward parts, and letting Rykel lead her own big decision. The takeaway for me is simple: confidence matters more than the outcome. Whether the crush shows up or not, we’re proud when our kids take healthy, kind steps toward relationships and learn that joy doesn’t “just happen”—sometimes you have to create it on purpose.
