Change happens when we show up. ♥️🤍💙

Today is your chance to make an impact, to let your voice be heard. The decisions we make as a country, within our states, and counties today shape tomorrow’s world. I encourage everyone to cast their votes wisely and be part of the change we NEED to see here in America! 🇺🇸🗳️

And then he was 13 🥳

From my little guy to a young man. I’ve been all in my feels today y’all. 🥹 I’m beyond proud of the man I’m witnessing him becoming everyday- compassionate, thoughtful, kind, and courageous. He requested a very low key birthday: presents, @mcdonalds, cupcakes, and a trip to the park. And I delivered on all of the above.

2023 was a year of great struggle, huge change, and intense loss. To quote @patiencetamarra I did the best I could with what I had, even when I didn’t have much. Even still, I’m grateful for the small pockets of joy that came our way and for the handful of family and friends that helped to lift our spirits when needed.

Here’s to fresh starts in 2024. See ya on the other side. ✌🏾

And then she was 15 🎂

I’m always emotional when my kids’ birthdays come around but this year Moo’s birthday hit hard. It’s surreal that we have 3 more years left before she adulthood and we’re both struggling a bit with that fact. Nevertheless, I’m incredibly proud of my first born. The child sent to me during a tine when I really needed a reason to just keep swimming. I can’t wait to see what adventures Year 16 has in store for her.

Happy Birthday Moo 🥳

Weekend Reads 📚

One of my goals for this year is to read more nonfiction that is impactful/hard hitting. And these two have been on my TBR since last year when I first heard about them. Excited to finally be getting around to crossing them off my TBR.

Who else is catching up on reading this weekend? Let me know what you’re reading.

“Fill your life with experiences not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.” -Cara Alwill Leyba

Earlier this year, the kids requested a trip to the beach because Bud had never been to the actual beach front. Idk how we managed that. Anyways, we decided to journey to the Land of Lovers aka VA and had a super chill day of laying out on the beach, building sand castles, and hunting for sea shells. 🏖️

The harvest. It’s one of the things I love most about gardening. The other thing I love about gardening is how it teaches us lessons that can be applied to everyday life.

Since starting this mission to grow 30% of our produce, I’ve been reminded that same way we improve our garden harvest by sowing seeds with love, gentleness, and patience, the same is true when it comes to people. Love, patience, and a whole lot if gentleness can go a long way.

I’m so grateful to my brother in-law for capturing this candid moment. He had just taken a posed photo of us seconds before but kept snapping to catch the “real” moments after.

It’s amazing how the universe works because one of my goals for this year is to capture more candid moments instead of posed ones and we really succeeded this past weekend. Easily one of my favorite pics from this year.

And then he was 12.

My little guy is officially no longer a little guy. He’s going through a voice change and a growth spurt. His love for @thomasandfriends remains still tho.

He’s also gotten more into filmmaking and animation. I can’t wait to see how this passion blooms. Here’s to Year 13. Happy Birthday, Bud 🎂

Somewhere between the holidays and New Year's, I decided that I was finally tired was being in survival mode. I didn't want this year to be a dumpster fire like years past. I told myself that 2023 was going to be my level up year. The year of thriving, healing, peace, genuine happiness, deep belly laughs, joy abundant, wealth building, and new beginnings and new adventures. So, here's to all my survivors who are choosing to thrive!

“The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.”

The kids have been asking to ”go home” more and more lately and I’ve been obliging them. Raising city kids in the country has been a challenge. But they’ve been amazingly good sports about it. As much as I enjoy the openness and quiet of the country, the city is where we’ll always long to be.
