she knows where the morning action is ☕ . Thanks for all the love on my last post , it's moments like this when I feel like I'll probably need ten more babies cuz it just keeps going way too fast! + That would be typical of me to change my mind that many times 😂 #neversaynever

Only a few weeks left as a family of three & I figured I better have at least one photo of this stage for the ol' memory bank ... even though I'm not a fan of maternity photos of myself [ call me old school ] ... this time it seems more bittersweet cuz who knows ... It might be the last time I have a tiny human in my tummy ...we might just be happy with our " millionaires family " gosh - how I hate that term ... I had to google it to even see what it meant 🙄 like if we do decide we our family is complete with two does that mean we are greedy? For what? I'm confused as to who decided children should have a dollar figure attached to them in any way 🤔🤔... #endofrant ... We love each child one at a time & I'm pretty sure there is no magic number that = happiness , in my book, Happiness is a state of mind , not a destination & We feel pretty blessed to have what we have & that is all we can wish for 💞

a look inside my brain || always, one too many tabs open 📑 but, that's just how I roll 😊 But - I've learned lately more than ever, I can't be afraid to ask for help ... It's ok if I don't "do it all" & it's actually not possible , on my own. @meganheat0n just "gets it" when it comes to how my brain works [ + the importance of ☕👌] .... seriously so many 💡💡 moments when we're together, - it's almost scary - anyway, all this to say , she's helping me update my site - cuz - it really needs it. To offer you guys more [ you deserve it] & keep things simpler for me [ win/win] ... Basically, to all my "wing men" ( & women), followers & behind the scenes cheerleaders who support me through this craziness of work/life balance ... I'm feeling extra thankful for my tribe these days - you guys are the best . 💞 📸 Creds to Megan.

baby girl's all played out from her big day @ Nana's 💤... She traded in her sucky for a "Frozen on Ice" bike yesterday and has done so so well - [definitely worth the 2 hr detour home to hit Canadian Tire 😆]

Saturday \\ what a welcome sight you are . It's been one of those weeks filled with ups [ celebrating birthdays with my mama ] + downs [ more than a couple #mommyfails that had me questioning whether I made a terrible mistake in thinking I could handle this whole gig ] ... but here we are. ... thankful. ... especially for the man in my life who is my voice of reason & my biggest cheerleader through it all ... & For even the smallest ray of sunshine that's spurring us on that spring will come ... eventually. 🌿

apparently she didn't think my attempt at a cheery spring quote was worth its salt 😂 ... Better luck next time . 🌱🌱 Anyways -I'm proud of this little busy pants because it finally clicked last week & she's [ pretty much] potty trained #smallwins 🎉 except for now she seems even more like a grown up which makes me happy and sad all at the same time. It's a good thing in a few short weeks I'll be getting my "baby fix " 😄 #anydaywouldbegreat
