22|365 Complete

Ok ok I’ll admit, today is national polkadot day and I couldn’t resist sharing a throwback from last June at Walt Disney World with my girls. I think the photo fits the prompt of the day also because it’s about the time that we were really beginning to see Lee Lee’s personality come through, and it was evident how much she truly completed our family.

She began taking her first steps a little before this trip, at 9 months old. She already had her RBF (resting baby face) down (pretty much since birth), and she was beginning to show us all how ready she was to take on the world.

I was so scared when we found out Sneaky was on the way. SO scared. Now, looking back at that time it feels so silly. She’s the blessing we never knew we wanted, and the piece that completes our family puzzle.

18|365 Joy

Joy is my mom’s name. And the emotion I’ve felt most today as we visited Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge for the first time. My mom has been a Star Wars fan my whole life, and the reason I became a fan. So there was no other person I’d rather experience this with. For Christmas we surprised her with a galactic getaway!

It’s her first trip to Disneyland (and first Disney trip in over a decade), and though I’m a pro at navigating Walt Disney World, Disneyland still feels new to me. But it’s been SO fun being kid-free with my mama and running around the park like big kids. No diapers, no kid snacks, no whining (just a little nausea).
.
I used @ThemeParkFrog for discount tickets and MaxPasses (FastPasses at Disneyland). It’s a great tool to use for deals before your spring break Disney trip (right now there’s a great deal on kids tickets). Tomorrow we are continuing our mother daughter trip and heading back to Galaxy’s Edge and then hopping over to Disney California Adventures for more rides (but hopefully less nausea).
.
Any favorite rides to recommend? Particularly ones not also at Walt Disney World?

Come over to my stories to meet my cute mom (she’s loving all of your DMs). #CherishEveryday365 #CherishEveryday365_Jan

15|365 Passion

What says passion like a girl and her beloved cake? Yesterday was my birthday and watching her reaction when my husband pulled my cake out was one of the funniest and most adorable things I’d ever seen. She ran over to our new picnic table (my birthday present) and sat down, patiently waiting to dig in. But it was a little too windy to light the candles so we had to take it inside and she lost it some time after candles and between singing and cutting. When she finally got to dig in she was full of big grins and wiggles. You know, the kind you do when you’re eating something yummy? She’s got that down.

I feel like 2020 is a year for me to recenter and focus on my own passions. One thing I look forward to at the start of the year is setting new goals. I haven’t finished firming all of my goals yet, but one I decided on is reading 52 books for ME this year. Which is a little nuts, because I just don’t set that kind of time aside to do things I love. But it is also WHY I’m going to do it. Because I LOVE it so much, and feel so much happier and healthier when I’m making that a priority.

So here I am, already on book 5 of the year with the next 2-5 in queue (I’m taking @LaShawnWiltz advice and starting a couple at a time so I have options depending how I’m feeling). Got recommendations for me? Please please leave some in the comments!

14|365 Pet

Snoop was my first baby. I never pushed him in a stroller but I did dress him in dog clothes and carry him around when he was a puppy. 12 years later he’s the best family dog we could have asked for. And this sweet boy next to him… They’ve been buds from the start. But recently Ty has taken a special ownership of Snoop. He feeds him, tries to get him to play fetch, and loves to get Snoop to sleep next to him on his bed.

Maybe it’s his passion for animals, or just his sweet spirit. But seeing these two together is just magic, and I can’t help but smile.

9|365 Home

Ok I’m sorta cheating with this one. I didn’t take this picture but I helped orchestrate it so does that count? In all honestly we are hoping this daily challenge is about more than just photography but expressing gratitude and cherishing moments.

When I think of home I think of these four and where we are standing. This photo was taken at our new home in our backyard. I kid you not, if you asked my husband he’d tell you how often I say I love our yard. Literally every day I’m out here with the kids, moving rocks, pulling weeds and helping Lee Lee on the playground, or setting our snacks for the deer.

Less than 3 years ago this home on 2 acres of land was a “what if” and “I wish we could…” thought. But we decided to turn our wishes and dreams into goals, and those goals into our reality.

It didn’t come without sacrifice, but every single one was worth it. I intend to raise our kids with the belief that anything is possible. Kids—People, don’t hear that enough. But I truly believe that, and will do everything in my power to convince them of their potential despite what others may tell them. I’ve achieved so much more than some expected (including myself). Crazy big dreams can come true. Their home is proof of that.
