On the gram

Throwback to these natural-born moves. The thrills. The hair 🤣 Just pedaling along here. I spent Mother's Day much like any Sunday. Waking up on the kids' clock, making a big breakfast, cleaning it up, going for a run with them in the stroller and our doggo in tow, a long kid-free shower, groceries and finally just hanging out for the rest of the afternoon with drinks, family, sand and bubbles. All the while, my husband juggled a million other productive things, topping it off with perfectly grilled steaks with salad for dinner. That's my kind of day. Friday night sunlight 💛 Sisters out for a drive. She'd be ready for her license if it weren't for the sudden stops. Good thing they have their seatbelt on. Sugar cookies. Baked with no egg, no dairy, no skill, and lots of love. The focus. The balance. The playful ending. 😍 We went to hop around for a friend's birthday party this morning. Madison jumped right in. Mallory took her time to warm up to the bounciness and eventually she found decent balance, walking on the trampolines and gently bouncing. However, she far preferred... wrestling?
