We made it to 5. ?? The magical age that Lottie honestly believes makes her “basically an adult” and has informed me she is ready to learn to drive . ? She is so capable and independent and full of energy. She bounces through life, singing as she goes, with a sparkle in her eye that I am so excited to watch as she gets older. Happy 5 ? Stay wild. Stay sweet. Stay curious. ☀️?

We do life on the daily across time zones and different states. But today, and the next three days I get to sit and stare at these two. I get to recant the good and the bad the unexpected and the important and the not important. These two have seen it all and we have a lot of stories in the “remember when” category, but so many more in the “left to create” category. My soul is happy ? Photo Creds to

So many things I want you to learn in life. Let’s start with not taking life or yourself too seriously. Always wear a smile. Surround yourself with strong positive friendships and mentors. Don’t overthink life. Take risks & have adventures. Fear is a choice, don’t let it hold you back from living. And laughter will always be the best form of therapy (? @jennifernmaas )

I sit in my rocker every day and stare at this map, remembering the stories of adventures we’ve had and realizing even with all of our travels, we are only going to see such a small small percentage of this world. I pray these babies get the itch and continue where we left off. Exploring and experiencing all of the cultures, seeing all of the scenery, meeting all of the people and tasting all of the food. You are built for great things, I can’t wait to watch you find the thing that makes you come alive

Her favorite part was blowing out the candles. And her new swing set. And she loved running around with all her friends. And we had a hard time getting her out of the bounce house.

She’s the big sister now, but she was my baby first. And she’s still my baby girl, and probably will be for the next 30 (+) years. Hes my little man. He’s new to the family, but makes us whole. He made me a boy mom, but will have to put up with bows, tea parties and tutus until he gets older. Together these two are going to have adventures and explore in ways we can’t imagine
