Kicking off a summer of college tours with my risi

Kicking off a summer of college tours with my rising high school senior with a stop at her parent’s alma mater. Here’s hoping 17 years of indoctrination will result in a second generation of Fitzpatrick/Kratovil at @utaustintx . #hookem🤘

What would you think if a parent asked you to sign

What would you think if a parent asked you to sign a liability waiver and release before your kid could swim in their backyard pool?

Considering that installing a swimming pool is one of the riskiest things a homeowner can do, it’s not that crazy of an idea.

Click on the link in my bio for my blog post on what pool owners can do to reduce financial and legal risks.

Spoiler alert. I don’t make my guests sign a waiver and release, but I have taken steps to secure the pool and have adequate insurance coverage.

My mommy works on the computer and FaceTimes peopl

My mommy works on the computer and FaceTimes people. She is really good at her job.

That’s how my first grader described what my job is in a recent school writing assignment.

While I appreciated the complement, it made me realize just how hard it is to explain to my little girl what a lawyer is, especially one like me who doesn’t go to court. Her Fisher Price Little People Community Helpers set doesn’t include an in-house lawyer who drafts, reviews, and negotiates commercial contracts.

If you are a lawyer mom like me who wants her kids to know all of the amazing things lawyer moms do, check out My Mom is a Lawyer by fellow lawyer mom Vanessa Gerard. It’s available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Lawyer moms, we’re all represented in the book. Prosecutors. Defense lawyers. Commercial litigators. Corporate lawyers. Real estate attorneys. Policy makers.

Thank you @bostonu Unleashed PR Club for the Mother's Day care package containing this wonderful book.

Whether it’s someone panhandling at an intersect

Whether it’s someone panhandling at an intersection, sleeping under a freeway overpass, or walking around downtown with all of their possessions, our kids encounter homeless people all the time in Dallas.

And they ask hard questions.

Why is he sleeping there? Why doesn’t she have a home? Why doesn’t he have a family to take care of him?

You and your kids can make the shift from empathy to action by volunteering for one of the amazing organizations serving the homeless people of Dallas.
