My week has been all over the place and I’ve got

My week has been all over the place and I’ve got two little girls who’ve reverted back to only sleeping when in mama’s bed 😅 BUT I introduced my kids to my favorite childhood movie this week, Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken, and from the responses to my stories about it, sounds like it was a favorite of many of yours once upon a time, too! Really really really wanted a daughter named Sonora so if anyone is looking for a great girl name in the future, please go live out that dream for me! Also, hope you’re having a really good week even if it’s been a little all over the place like mine. I’m sending you love and a hug and if you need a solid movie recommendation, I have that above for ya too!💕

You blink and they’ve outgrown the crib. You can

You blink and they’ve outgrown the crib. You can’t scoop them up and carry them in one arm as easily. They have first words and then full blown sentences and then they’re ten freaking years old and say things like, “Mama, would you like to chit chat and have an engaging conversation?!” They start loosing teeth and then their adult ones show up and braces happen and you’re looking at your babies who aren’t babies and you always knew it’d move this quickly but you still weren’t really ready. 💛 There are days I’m hiding from all five and crying alone in my bathroom. There are days I can’t kiss their freckled cheeks enough and I cry all over again because I love them so hard it hurts. And I know you know and appreciate and acknowledge and hold onto it all in your own seasons of life. I don’t have to remind you. But these really are the days. And I’m a little sentimental as all five feel so much bigger and wiser and older in all the ways in this very moment. (.....These thoughts continued in my latest blog post, there’s a link in my stories to read it.)

A few days late (got myself a head cold that is taking over my life) but I love myself a holiday all about celebrating love. And when he doesn’t show up with a box of chocolates but instead shows up with your car detailed— scrubbed of all the open ketchup packets and the sunscreen spill from last summer and the month old French fries and very sticky stickers stuck to the floor that you can’t seem to rid the car of and always complain about, that’s my kinda love. Thank you @tiesandfries and happy Valentine’s Day a few days late to everyone on the internet💕

Throwback to M & B’s bedroom in our last NYC apa

Throwback to M & B’s bedroom in our last NYC apartment. This room was one of my favorites and I’m excited to be putting the finishing touches on their new room with some new wallpaper this week! ⁣
⁣
I shared the wallpaper I’m using (and rounded up lots of favorites from around the internet) on my blog today. I’m incorporating a lot of wallpaper into this home (sorry Josh Davis) and excited to tackle more rooms soon with fun prints and colors (give me all the citrus wallpaper prints! 🍊) ⁣
⁣
If you would have told me this time last year that this time next year, I’d be living in Arizona and renovating an old ranch style home surrounded by a whole lotta citrus trees, I would have said, “Never. Not in a million years!” But one of the great lessons 2020 taught me was, never say never. The year brought many reminders my way that sometimes it’s good to put the breaks on all of your meticulous and detailed year by year plans and instead, lean into your life, wherever it’s taking you. I’m a big believer in embracing whatever experience you’re experiencing, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much this new chapter, while never in my “plan”, continues to bring a calming peace and sense of grounding to our family. I’ll be the first to admit that renovating a home is very very very low on my list of things I’d ever like to do again (it takes a much braver soul), but I’m thankful for a new challenge, and for an opportunity to bring a whole new cluster of wallpaper samples into our new space. ⁣

Do you believe in wallpaper?! How much wallpaper is too much wallpaper?! 🌸

When you create a masterpiece on the outside of the tortilla chips bag with your very own tape design and feel such pride! I’m having a hard time not wanting to include this in our next gallery wall🤣 Mostly— may we all find ways to still channel that two year old inside each of us that loves to create and try and do and has yet to meet her inner critic. 💥
