96|365: Gratitude.

So thankful for my son, and his unique personality that has turned all of my thoughts and expectations of parenting on its head.

Today is his 7th birthday. Before him I thought all children were raised to be like their parents. That’s how it seemed to be working with my oldest. But here he came with his inquisitive and sensitive soul that doesn’t come from his father or myself.

For his birthday he asked for one thing: A Captain America costume. For weeks he’s asked when it was coming in (my secret wasn’t fooling him). Part of me is so excited to be entering this new stage of parenting where Marvel heroes are cool. Another part of me is sad that my little guy who loved PJ Masks just a little over a month ago so quickly has moved on.

And now my animal-loving boy is asking an equal amount of questions surrounding Marvel trivia as he does animal facts.

I’m so thankful for him, and all that he’s taught me about individuality. For teaching me to learn more about him and how he wants to be heard and loved. About nature vs nurture, and loving someone for who they truly are.

93|365: Morning Things. “Play outside as long as you want. Once you come in we start a lesson.” Rain or shine, that’s the rule every morning🌤. Some days it works better than others. Today they had a ball. Do what you gotta do.

How are you hanging in there? Any secrets for survival?

92|365: Get in the photo.

Day by day I’m starting to feel a little more like myself again. I’ve equated this strange self-quarantine period as something like a maternity leave, where I’m adjusting to a new way of living. I’ve needed to give myself time to adjust and that means I’ve been a little quieter on my feed. Just doing the bare minimum to get through the day, which right now means taking care of these little people.

There are two things I’ve started to look forward to every day. One is going outside to water my plants. The sunshine and fresh air feels good. We’re almost at three weeks now and it may be the record for the longest I’ve kept plants alive. If only Lee Lee would stop picking the fruit before it’s ripe.

The other is watching a Marvel movie with the big kids during Lee Lee’s nap time.

I may be suffering in my own internal storm, but I hope that my kids look back and have fond memories of this time with midday movie breaks and growing plants.

It’s the tiniest things I’m trying to appreciate and be grateful for. And I’m excited to document them this month.

Can’t wait to see what you all share. Don’t overthink it, just capture your truth.

How am I doing? Well, it’s complicated. With a pandemic going on right now, life just feels a little... Ok, a lot, more stressful. Even I, Queen of Optimism, am finding it really hard to feel positive as much as I normally do. But I’m learning though I can’t always control how I FEEL, I can control how I RESPOND. So I’m working with that.

The last two weeks have been a wild ride, for all of us. I’ve never spent so much time in my own home with three little people clinging to me. I mean seriously, you’d think they’d be tired of me by now. But they won’t even go upstairs without me.

It’s hard to see it at this moment, but I know 5 or 10 years from now we'll look back on this period and have so much to say about what it was like, what we did. I KNOW we are going to make it through this. It’s time for me to decide what I want those memories to be filled with.

The first few months of Cherish Everyday 365 have been fun, but this next month has the potential to be very powerful. What will April’s memories look like for you?

I want my kids to remember not only the extra long spring break, where they had cheer practice on the computer, and saw their classmates via FaceTime. I want them to remember our neighborhood walks where we chatted with friends across the street while hunting for teddy bears and rainbows in windows.

I want photos of our life together during this unique time.

Well today sucked. This photo was snapped after I

Well today sucked. This photo was snapped after I shut myself in my bedroom and told my kids they could do whatever they wanted if they left me alone. 45 minutes later I heard my oldest tell her brother “I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to get mom!” Lee Lee came bounding in behind her, belly flopped on top of me and I snapped this photo.

Today was a crapshoot. And honestly I feel like I needed that slap in the face after my post yesterday. Re-reading it I’m vomiting a little in my mouth. I decided I couldn’t NOT post today and share a bad day too because if I only share the good well... Thats not really fair. Or realistic.
If you follow my stories you saw the disaster of my morning. It ended better than it started but it was quite the polar opposite of yesterday.

Day to day if you ask me how I’m doing it could be the total opposite. So tell me, how are YOU today? Was it better or worse than yesterday? 🤔

Is it just me or has the last 48 hours been a whir

Is it just me or has the last 48 hours been a whirlwind? Part of me wants to hide away and avoid social media and another part of me wants to document everything so that I can look back a year or two from now and remember exactly what we made it through.

Yesterday morning I was urging parents on our cheer team to pull out of a competition in Galveston this weekend. I didn’t *want* to, but it felt like the safe and responsible thing to do. The casual responses that it would be “overreacting” and that it was all “blown out of proportion” made me doubt myself, and for a moment, I hesitated, wondering if maybe I was going a little crazy.

Thankfully, a few hours later the competition, (and other cheer competitions around the country) were canceled (“postponed”). A few hours later Disney announced it would be closing down the remainder of their theme parks as well as their Disney Cruise Line. I don’t *think* that many people see these precautions as overreactions now. But just in case, I wanted to share some of what I’ve found from research and fact-checking. I put it all in a blog post. Just click the link in my bio and this photo.

One thing to know? Staying away from others today, can make a HUGE difference tomorrow, next week, next month. My kids are out for spring break now, but I’m guessing they won’t be going back in a week. Things are unnerving and scary. I’m with you. But my husband (usually a pessimist) keeps reminding me of how thankful he is that we are together, and for this extra time we will have together focusing on what really matters. I’m thankful for him.

Our spring break is going to be pretty boring. We were planning to screen new movies and hit up the beach. Instead we will be watching movies at home and working in the yard.

I’m SO thankful for the hardworking people we have in hospitals. Our doctors, nurses and other medical staff. And for the grocery workers, who are tirelessly restocking shelves (please don’t clear out the shelves people. Prepare, don’t panic. No one needs 10 bottles of hand sanitizer for themselves). I’m thankful for you all. And I believe making it through will somehow bring us all closer together ❤️. How are YOU? Truly.

Day 69 | 366 EARTH

How early did you notice your child’s unique personality?

Lee Lee is my wild and free nature baby. I think it’s fitting considering finding out she was our family’s +1 made us take the leap to a bigger home with a bigger yard. She grabs her shoes and mine and screams “GO!” When she’s ready to head out back. Usually I’m happy to oblige.

I noticed with my other two children, their personalities as toddlers pretty much stuck with them. Jayda is my social butterfly. Ty is more reserved, but extremely inquisitive. And Lee Lee it seems may have a life full of adventure and demanding she get things her way. To that I say, pray for me.
