My only girl.
And somehow we went from Barbie shoes in the hallway… to senior pictures and graduation announcements on the kitchen counter.

Everyone warns you that the days go fast, but nobody tells you how loud the silence feels when your baby starts becoming her own person.

I blinked and the little girl who used to hold my hand crossing the street is now walking into her future without needing me to guide every step.
And honestly? I’m somewhere between unbelievably proud and emotionally unwell. 😂

Being your mom has been the greatest role of my life.
I’ve watched you grow into someone kind, strong, funny, truly hilarious, smart, independent, and completely unforgettable.

You made motherhood beautiful for me.
You made our house louder, brighter, messier, and so full of love. My only girl in a houseful of boys…

So yes… I’ll cry at graduation.
I’ll cry at Target when I pass the dorm section. I’ll@cry when I pass by menchies and wonder how did this happen?  I’ll probably cry every time I see a little girl with curly hair and sparkly shoes.

But more than anything, I’m proud.
So incredibly proud of the woman you’re becoming.

Forever my little girl. #littlestunner
Even when the world calls you grown. 🤍

Some days I’m crushing it. Some days I’m barely holding it together. But every single day? I choose them. Over and over again. That’s what motherhood actually looks like …. not the highlight reel, the whole messy, beautiful thing. Today I’m celebrating that mom. The real one. Me. 🖤 #happymamasday #loveyourmama #mama

Five years doing the @danceone dance comp and convention with @danceologypac and the laughs and joy (minus the exhaustion) have been incredible. Brody loved assisting at @jumpdance, and I could tell this might be the last time I hold him this way… he’s actually getting heavy, and if it were up to him, he’d jump into my arms forever. #dancemom #minibestmaledancer #jumpanaheim​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mother’s Day is coming… and honestly, I’d like to formally announce that I will not be participating in the “give your mother-in-law her son back” initiative.

Respectfully… he’s unavailable. Permanently. Signed, sealed, emotionally and legally bonded. 😌

He’s stuck with me for life (poor guy) like a subscription he forgot to cancel. 🗽 no refunds, no exchanges, no returns. Sorry … not sorry!

Happy Mother’s Day in advance to all involved… especially the ones who are gonna have to accept this loss. 💅 #mothersday #happymothersday #mama #quotes #myhusbandshot

The kids said they wanted to “camp” this year…
so naturally we compromised with ocean views, room service, and someone making my bed in the Virgin Islands. 🤝😂

Honestly, surviving motherhood deserves at least one fake camping trip a year. Who’s with me? ⛺️🌴
Are you team camping… or team “accidentally booked a beachfront hotel”? 😂

Some seasons in life just hit harder than others… and no one really prepares you for that part.

Lately I’ve been reminded how important it is to pause not quit not give up just breathe long enough to feel like yourself again.

This day at @ranchovalencia wasn’t just a spa day for me it was time with my mom friends who are all walking through their own versions of new beginnings. And there’s something really powerful about being surrounded by women who get it without you having to explain a thing.

We laughed we slowed down we actually sat still and for a moment everything felt lighter.

And maybe that’s the takeaway
You don’t have to have it all figured out but you do have to take care of yourself while you’re figuring it out.

So I’m curious…

What season are you in right now growing healing rebuilding or thriving?

I want to hear where you’re at 🤍
