I don’t think I’ve had a better birthday that I can remember. The girls and I didn’t want to leave. I felt so loved and grateful. What would I do without my people? Some days are hard but really, getting older shows you that life is so precious. Thank you to my sweet loving family and my NorCal family. I’m so lucky to have you all. My heart is full from all these birthday celebrations. 😘

Some things are so bitter sweet. I don’t want them to grow - but I want them to grow. I want them to be my babies forever, but I need them to stop spilling so much, learn how to read, and use their words! Ha! I must confuse them! Overall though, I’m so grateful I got to send them off to school together today - Nessa in TK and Aubrey in 1st grade. My heart.

And just like that our staycation is over. We are so fortunate to have 4 grandparents that take care of us. From beaches to boat rides. A trip that ended with a perfect private party to celebrate grandpas 70th birthday! I’m thankful for our family and spending quality time with my girls. Family always comes first, which is what I preach to my clients.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there, including me, my client’s parents, and my mom! Being a mom is not just about loving your kids, but it is a mentally taxing job. And there is truly, no such thing as a perfect parent, but my mom is pretty close. 😉😝 I think today should be about forgiving myself for not being perfect. Hugging myself for feeling embarrassed when my kids tantrum in public. And laughing at myself for wearing my pants inside out with spit up stains while thinking I had it together that day. Being a good mom is a messy, crazy, hilarious job. And I’m so grateful I can help support other mamas that never give up on trying to be the best mom she can be!!

I’m not really into social media, but this is an important time to try and stay calm. As often as I can, I’m going to start posting mental health coping skills so we don't all freak out! If you can, check out this short song and listen to it once a day if you can! # # # # #
Close ur eyes and listen to this song. While closing your eyes only think of positive thoughts and focus on your breath. Push negative thoughts out of your mind when they pop in your head.

2 minutes of meditation will reduce stress, improve health, and ultimately help your body fight illness or improve your immune system functioning! Also, my babies make me smile and relax. So I’m posting photos of my girls. They both have birthdays this month and we will find ways to celebrate them inside safely! I think of them and their cute baby laughs when I feel anxious. ❤️🥰❤️

Vanessa - You brought so much laughter and light to our lives. We are so thankful for you. Love u baby girl.

Happy Birthday mom! I love you so much and am so lucky to have you as my mother! You are my best friend. I love that we laugh at ourselves and have fun doing nothing. You are always my shoulder to cry on and someone I can always depend on. I hope my girls will love me as much as I love you when they grow up. Thank you for teaching me how to be kind, but strong. I get to enjoy being a mom and loving my children unconditionally because of the love that you taught me. Love you forever and ever.

Happy National Sibling Day! I love my sisters and am so excited my girls will have each other. I know that siblings fight, make fun of each other, and tattle on one another. But siblings are the best people to make fun of parents with, travel with, and give a shoulder to cry on. Having a baby with a toddler has been such an adjustment recently, but my siblings (and mom) have been the best helpers, cooks, babysitters and therapists a person could ask for! I always encourage parents to teach their children to respect and love their siblings because even if they don’t see it now, they will be best friends in the long run.
