To My Daughter On Her 7th Birthday {Kinley}
Dearest Kinley, My little ray of sunshine! Today you are seven…Lucky 7! What a fantastic age this is. I remember feeling intimidated by age seven because it sounded old and entering into the “too cool” years. Thankfully, I was so wrong because I can see where this is going to be one of the most […]
To My Son On His Third Birthday {Miles}
“I do it by my own self.” Oh Miles. If there was a phrase to sum up your second year, that would be the one, Mr. Independent. This past year has been full of beautiful moments I will always treasure, but I’d be remiss to not mention all of your toddler shenanigans, too. We had our […]

Oh my sweet orchid. My sweet, affectionate, middle baby. Can we raise a glass of orange juice to making it through this year together?

To My Daughter On Her Fourth Birthday {Karina}
Dearest Karina, More times than not, my day begins with you. A warm little nose pressed against mine as I try to sleep off the day’s previous activities. You’re my morning gal who likes to wake-up when the sun rises. You greet me with a “good morning” and a smile and delightfully take in some screen […]
To My Daughter On Her Fifth Birthday {Kinley}
Dear Kinley, Today you are five. FIVE. Five. I just need to say it a few times because this is a BIG one to me. You’re FIVE!!! I want to laugh because I have a 5-year-old and I’m not sure how that happened, and I want to cry because I loved age 4 so much […]
