My Life in Pictures
This guy is 40 today. My look of love on our wedding day is still how I feel about this guy. Brendan, I am grateful for our friendship, our partnership, and our mutual love of all animals. Our daughters are so lucky to have you as their father. Happiest birthday @b_hay42! We all love you. #thisis40
We celebrated Chloe & Claire’s 3rd birthday at the @thecoopla with an Octonauts-themed party. The chocolate cakes were per request from the girls and made by @vegancakesla (a huge hit!). We had a blast celebrating with our friends and family. As one guest said, “This was a good party.” 🎂🎉💕
Happy 3rd birthday to Claire (pink) and Chloe (blue)! Three years ago today, I held you both on my chest and cried for the deep love I felt for you immediately. Three years later, my love for you two only grows deeper than the moment we met. Your giggles, silly monster voices, and empathy for others is just a few reasons why I’m proud and grateful to be your mama. Shine on, my girls. Keep your creative, independent spirit alive today and forever.
I got an inside peek at the @ohjoyco design studio and a craft demo by the lovely @ohjoy. We made vases covered in colorful contact paper and designed our own floral arrangements. The fun party is a celebration of the #ohjoyxclorox collaboration. I love the spring designs on the newly launched disinfectant wipes.
Loving my kids bursts my heart open a thousand different ways. I see the world with new eyes. I get excited to spot garbage trucks with them. Putting on sunglasses is way cooler than I ever thought as a grownup. But make no mistake. I’m challenged to my core. We use a mantra at home. “I’m trying my best.” I’m imperfect. I make mistakes. I fumble. Fail. Then I get up. Try again. Put on my sunglasses and shine on. 😎
