Nothing has impacted my life as much as becoming a

Nothing has impacted my life as much as becoming a mother. I was 22 when I had Caylee and was terrified. She made me grow up; I found myself while trying to raise her. I was 10 years older with Em but as my rainbow baby she has still taught me so much. She is the reason I know how strong I really am. Today is #nationaldaughtersday and these two are the exactly the little people I needed. Thank you both for helping shape me into the person I am today. I love you more than there are words 💕

If you know me then you know how much of an attach

If you know me then you know how much of an attachment style parent I am. I did the cosleeping, extended breastfeeding, baby wearing, you name it. With Emilia we reached a point that I couldn’t do it all and so we needed to look for help. As a very “attached” parent asking for help was so hard. We hadn’t had sitters or done daycare (or even pre-k) with the older kids. A good friend raved about her nanny (thanks @mybeautifulblunder) which opened the door for our search.

Having an au pair is not something I ever expected or planned but it has been amazing for all of us. Trusting someone else with my kids is hard and been a huge adjustment but I’m so happy we found someone we could genuinely care about and that we do in fact trust.

I’m not sure if traveling or experiencing our American holidays has been more fun 😂

QUESTION: did you know au pairs were still “a thing”? Apparently you can still hire a governess too 😮

Having kids has been such a wild ride. Navigating

Having kids has been such a wild ride. Navigating the ups and the downs with them can be insanely hard. A few years ago caylee started playing volleyball and she loves it. She made the JV team this year but it’s a young team and the season hasn’t gone the way she’d like. I’ve tried to cheer her up and encourage her on the hard days. I’ve tried to remind her that her hard work will pay off. I’ve wanted to cry right along with her. Then we have nights like last night. With her dad and I, grandma, brothers and sister (and Carla) all watching they pulled out a 3 set win in a regional game! I can’t even explain how my heart swelled seeing her out there enjoying what she loves. I’m so incredibly proud of you @caycay_renee and all of the team for pushing through!

**be sure to check out the video because Caylee had a beautiful set to help score the game winning point!

Caylee: taking a photo with a random fire truck is so “millennial” of you mom
Me: ok, smile 😅

For those of you that haven’t reached this stage of motherhood, having a teenager means being constantly reminded that you’re old. At least she smiled for my pics!
