You’d have to be in my IG Stories daily to under

You’d have to be in my IG Stories daily to understand why this years’ birthday festivities were planned so ridiculously late. Thanks to the combination of luck, Big Crazy Mom Energy, and a few special female biz owners, I was able to make it happen. 💚💖🖤
Thanks to our family friends who made the time celebrate with us on such short notice♥️♥️♥️
And MAJOR THANK YOU to the vendors who brought the 🔥🔥🔥
@bashevents.la for coming through with that sick balloon setup (and on 24 hour notice) 💕 @yvonnesvegankitchen for the dopest vegan/GF cake (Yvonne always come through) ❤️ and @sendintheclownsla for always providing the best entertainment for the kids (Leesa, pulled some real magic) 💙 I couldn’t thank you enough.
And let’s be honest this party couldn’t have happened without 72 boxes from Amazon and 6-in person visits to Target 😂

I remember being pregnant and wondering if I could

I remember being pregnant and wondering if I could possibly have enough room in my heart to love another human after having my first. How silly of me to think that because as soon as 🐬 came into this world my heart immediately exploded and expanded. Kind of like those beach tents that start off as a small circle but then you shake them out and 💥 a big ol’ tent pops out of no where. Just like that!
My Dearest Dries,
Happy 3rd Birthday, Boo Boo!
I can’t help falling more and more in love with you each day. Thank you for coming into and rocking our world. You complete us!
🐬, there’s no one like you! Your spunk, humor and your persistence are what make you so unique and beautiful—I mean handsome 😂😉
Watching you grow this last year has been remarkable! You didn’t just get bigger, learn to ride a balance bike & potty train yourself. This past year you learned to be gentler, to label your emotions, and to be more empathetic and I’m so very proud of you.
Thank you for being one of my greatest teachers. You’ve taught me what real patience is and that there’s more than one right answer to every problem. I am a better and more confident mama because of you.
My birthday wish for you this year is that you continue to be courageous and confident, and that you have a ton of fun as you embark on big new adventures like going to school for the first time and having your own big boy bedroom. “It is when we are in transition that we are most completely alive.” I can’t wait to watch your flourish. I love you, Baby Boy! You are my sunshine 💚
Love always and forever, Mama!

Happy Father’s Day to the man we can always count on. @anthonymandler you brighten our days with silliness and laughter, and you fill our hearts with love and joy. Thank you for always doing your very best to be present and involved—even if it means pausing a set to watch a recital over FaceTime from 4K miles away or getting off a plane to come home & see us for 4 hours in between flights. Your efforts to be the best papa, best protector, best provider, and our best friend will never go unnoticed. We are so grateful for you and WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
♥️♥️Happy Father’s Day 💙💙

Have you ever tried a DIY steam at home? I steam 1

Have you ever tried a DIY steam at home? I steam 1x a week for 10-15 minutes and 👋🏽 ✨✨
If you’ve never steamed before then 5 minutes is great place to start.
🚨 Be sure to drinks lots of water both before and after steaming.
If you have any little ones, you want to be sure they’re not around. Never leave a bowl or pot of hot water unattended.
Avoid steaming during severe breakouts, if you have super sensitive skin or if you’re experiencing inflammation. If you have any doubts, always consult with your derm or esti💋

The days are long but the years are flying by and

The days are long but the years are flying by and I’m just over here like 😭😭 Where did this school year go? I can’t believe my little 👸 is headed to SECOND grade!
While this school year was far from perfect, I’m so grateful my girl got to attend school in person, and make solid connections with her peers and her teachers. And that she was able to experience a sense of belonging and feel what it feels like to be a part of an incredible community.
I’ll never stop sharing how proud I am of our girl! She’s strong and fearless and she’s determined! She leads with heart and passion and she stands up for what she believes in. She’s at the age where she believes she can do anything and I pray and hope she always believes in herself that way. And that she never ever stops using her voice! Second grade, here she comes 💥💥💥
I love you, Lennox Mae 💗
