Woke up to the most beautiful and magical first snow day for Theo and Stella. ❄️

The melancholy feeling, knowing so much of beautiful California is turning to ash. I have so many joyful, awe-stricken moments in these areas, now engulfed in flames.💔

Trying to figure out how I plan to help. So many great resources online about how to donate and contribute.

All of that to say, waking up to see our home covered in fluffy white snow… feeling incredibly grateful and lucky. 🤍

My word going into 2024 was PEACE.

This past year was a season of a lot of changes (another baby, unexpectedly buying a house and selling ours in 4 days, renovations, etc), and I was hoping to cling to and seek as much peace as I possibly could amidst the chaos.

Pulling some of these clips from the year really reminded me how much peace truly was achieved. Don’t get me wrong, it was hard. I had a high risk pregnancy that wasn’t easy. We had a baby in the NICU. I’m juggling more than I ever have. But if my 18 y/o self could see the next 15+ years in a crystal ball, I think she would be so so excited and thankful.

Life is both hard AND wonderful. 🤍

Thanks to so much inspiration from you guys, I’m starting 2025 with the word SAVOR. Challenging myself to savor all the good, all the riches, all the blessings, all the peace. Savor it all.

I would love to hear your word going into 2025! Love yall -

Christmas week 2024. Full of love. Full of joy. Full calendar. Full bellies. Grateful and yawning every 5 minutes. 🫠😴🎅🏼

What movie are you watching today? So far we’ve watched While You Were Sleeping, The Grinch and Rudolph.

First Christmas in this house. I didn’t pull eeevvvverything out because I have a newborn… but I’d still give the feeling of being here an A+.

My goal this week is to chill as much as possible and to smile through the chaos. Grown ups - we create the vibe. YOU GOT THIS. 💅🏼💪🏼

Do you have a secret tool for staying chill? Mine is AirPods. ☠️

December highlights so far… Stella in the beanie and Theo in the box is sending me. 🫶🏼🎅🏼❄️

I still have to pull out the Christmas vinyls and play dominoes… but we are getting there!! What’s left on your December to do list?!

PS - I had ChatGPT help me come up with the last few gifts I needed to get. And then I used it to make my grocery list. Obsessed.

When your son is your dream guy (sorry Christian!). 🥰☺️

The cutest sweater and trouser duo - also would be super cute as separates! I wore this to a holiday party and got a ton of compliments.

Annual Christmas cocktail party! 💅🏼💃🏻✔️

Grateful this dress from 2018 zipped. Thankful for the @skims that played a role in that.

Mental note: 4 inch stilettos don’t feel like they used to. Ouchies. 🫠

What I bought for myself on BF/CM… except it wasn’t on sale. ☠️🫠 But I have been considering purchasing these for two months because they look so cute on @kateymcfarlan, so I went for it -

Who’s fallen prey to the return of the birk - answer in the poll!

Stella’s first Thanksgiving, long drive and trip to Mississippi. It was fun, it was hard, we are sleepy and thankful. 🦃🤍 It’s no surprise what I’m most thankful for this year - feeling like my whole family is at the table. 🥹

Excited to dive into Christmas and to spend it at home. Our first in this house!

I need to know - if you have little kids, how many drives over 6 hours do you do a year? I didn’t grow up driving that much outside of a summer beach trip, so I’m trying to have a good attitude.. but I honestly hate being in the car more than 4 hours. 😵‍💫🥴☠️ I’m not a great road trip girlie. SOS!

Bundled up for the Egg Bowl today… sent the boys to tough it out in the cold. Stella is my excuse to sit with my parents in the warmth… but I still left at halftime with my crew. ☠️🫠 Effort was made! Pics on stories, my first game in over 10 years! ❤️🩵
