We only live in the land of the free and home of the brave because someone decided to join the military even though the pay is so low that I qualified for WIC when a madi was a baby. Every day someone wakes up on a ship, or on the ground and dons a uniform and boots. Every morning they wake up they are committing yet again to protect our freedom. Never forget. Learn about this day if you’re truly not familiar and every time you make a choice on what to wear, what to eat, how to celebrate life, how you choose to worship, and more- it’s because of our military. 🇺🇸

There are times where I still marvel at the sound

There are times where I still marvel at the sound of “mom” called out to me. First it was sister to my first little baby. Not her mom but love her like one. Then I became a mom and now a mother-in-law. I am Mom. I’m the mommy. I’m the Nina! I’m the oldest, I’m the matriarch. I’m the luckiest.

This weekend we went hard celebrating my first born. We danced and drank and drank some more. Some people ended up removing outer garments and jumping in the pool. The best part about being a mom of an adult is being her friend now that’s she’s grown. I’ve been blessed with daughters that love and enjoy me and honoring her and her future makes me happy. Madi + Evan- Let’s go!!🤍

“Mom, it’s decades week and I need something t

“Mom, it’s decades week and I need something to wear.” She May be 7 and little but she is already something incredible. One day, she will be a woman and everything that happens now in her sweet little life will prepare her. We watch Cobra Kai (then she wants to wrestle and kick ass) she loves fashion and admires herself in the mirror, she believes equality is not an option- it’s a right. She tells the orthodontist that she doesn’t care what people think when he warns her that her head gear is a little funny looking but she only has to wear it at night. She tells me she loves me out of the blue and kisses me all the time. Today was 1950’s Day but she is what I think of for International Woman’s Days.

It’s been over a month since I flew to NYC. Talking about trauma, people stories, and uncovering someones hurt and grief is something I’ve come to honor. It feels like my path. What I should be doing. What I love. When I left NYC, I felt an overwhelming desire to further my work. I saw it, laid out like a blueprint. Like a business plan. Trusting and patience is HARD, but I believe. It’s been a long time since I reverted to a Bible verse but this one has been meditated on REPEAT during my pursuit for success: Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what is unseen.

I told Ivy tonight, “you are love.” She said,

I told Ivy tonight, “you are love.” She said, “you are hope mama.”
I love everything she stands for. At seven she is loud and unwavering. She is everything I always wanted to be. Mamas raise your girls to use their voice. To love hard, to love themself even harder. To stand on their own two feet and choose wisely. Happy 🤍 day.
