One of my favorite February memories, and our Valentine's tradition (for the 6th consecutive year) - serving as ๐
Every year on Valentine's Day, partners with Moms across the country to deliver flowers to residents in assisted living centers. Sharing this special mission with my little loves is absolutely the sweetest Valentine!
It's also a beautiful reminder to spread love today and all year long in anyway you can. Little gestures can make a big difference and touch people's hearts. This sure touched mine and I know the residents at Caledonia Senior Living & Memory Care sure felt the love too!
Thank you for continuing our favorite tradition, allowing my family to be part of this special role!

Celebrated National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend with a cookie booth run by my favorite Girl Scout!
This lil lady utilized her 2nd grade math skills (adding up orders), communication skills (interacting with prospective cookie customers), and a ton of bravery (asking them to step inside the shop for a cookie break)!
A super special THANKS goes out to - the sweetest local shop (female owned & female run) for your celebration of female entrepreneurship today and everyday!!!
The 2025 cookie season will be wrapping up in under 2 weeks - please reach out if we can help you stock your cookie cupboard! ๐ช โค๏ธ๐ซถ

Motherhood... perfectly imperfect
Some days, we barely have the bandwidth to lift our mental load, let alone pick up all the legos, too.
Still we aim to do it all even if, it isn't always pretty.
Because in the end - it's about supporting, loving and watching their faces light up when things miraculously go right!
It's those moments that make being a Mom near perfect. ๐ฅน
