Life changes so quickly. 💨 ⠀ One day you’re not ready to put your child into school, the next day you can’t wait for the first day to roll around. One moment you’re driving to a meeting, the next you’re calling your insurance after a fender bender. One morning you’re preparing for an exciting interview, the next you’re rescheduling for a month from now. ⠀ Life is uncertain and filled with surprises, and in the words of Shakespeare: “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” ⠀ I pray to welcome it as it comes, to roll with the punches and approach each moment without wishing it were any different. ⠀ As they say: “It’s not happy people that are grateful, it is grateful people who are happy.” ⠀ You rolling with the punches this Monday morning? 🥊🙏🏻 〰️ #kin #mytinyatlas #makeportraits #lovestagram #postthepeople #memorizingmotherhood #livethelittlethings #thatsdarling #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #nothingisordinary #motherhoodrising #candidchildhood
When you’ve got your dad AND your grandpa helping you grab ALL the candies… 🤫 ⠀ You know, when my first baby was born, I realized something special about grandparents. ⠀ While I rushed through a diaper change in a race to cross each to-do off the list (wipes, check... grab new diaper, check… cream, check)… The grandparents had a totally different approach. ⠀ Instead of rushing, they *enjoyed* each step. They sang little songs, connected with the baby, talked to them… ⠀ Changed my ways immediately. As often as I’m able to remember, I stop and try to enjoy each step of our day—no matter how repetitive, no matter how messy, no matter how borderline aggravating. ⠀ Grandparents make life exactly 100x better, don’t they? 〰 #kin #documentlife #artifactuprising #vscomom #wearthem #ohheymama #ig_motherhood #motherhoodrising #mytinymoments #uniteinmotherhood #littleandbrave #bestofmom #motherhoodunplugged #letthekids
When I played Elton John’s “Benny and the Jets” in the car today, Juan José asked: “Mom, is this song named after Benny the Jet from The Sandlot?” 😜 ⠀ And when I took Nicolás to the grocery store and told him we needed pancake mix, he said: “Oooooh yeah!” 🤤 ⠀ Honestly? It may be unhealthy how much I *like* my kids. ⠀ Currently exploding with love for my little men with their big, hilarious personalities and mesmerizing minds. ⠀ What’s one funny thing your kids have said lately? 〰 #kin #mytinyatlas #lovestagram #postthepeople #livethelittlethings #thatsdarling #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #nothingisordinary #motherhoodrising #candidchildhood #parenting #snap_ish #our_everyday_moments
Happy birthday to my Jdawg! My favoritest partner in crime. 🦸🏻‍♂️ ⠀ 🎙I recorded an episode today in honor of his big day where I hash out my thoughts on sharing a life with someone, on marriage, and of course, on *love*. ⠀ Tune in to hear a little of our love story and a few of my favorite quotes on relationships. Merging two lives isn't easy, so let's explore how to do it maybe just a tiny bit better? ❤️ ⠀ What’s your favorite quote about love? ⠀ PS. He gets more handsome every year, and I cannot deal. 😏 〰️ #kin #marriage #love #spirituality #faithquotes #catholiccreatives #christianity #christiancreative #catholiccreative #liveauthentic #makeportraits #mytinyatlas #livethelittlethings #postthepeople #documentlife #nothingisordinary #podcast #newpodcast
I’d never cried during mass—until this weekend. ⠀ We were a little late, and I worried there’d be no seats left. The chapel is small and cozy, but more popular by the day. While I parked the car, JJ ran in to scope it out. As I walked in, it was already full, people lining up the back walls. I scanned the crowd for JJ and didn’t spot him at first—until I looked at the very front. ⠀ There he was in the first row, smack dab in the center, with a spot saved just for me. ⠀ I usually zone out during mass. It can at times feel long and its messages abstract. But yesterday, with the priest only feet away, I was locked in. ⠀ He shared a message from Saint Caterina Tomàs i Gallard who once wrote how we should give God more of our time, our hearts, and our space. ⠀ And I was overcome with gladness for how far I have come in giving God those very things, how he has transformed my heart and my life in so many ways these past few years—but I was also reminded of how much road I have left to travel with Him. ⠀ My eyes watered with gratitude, and I prayed my very favoritest prayer: “God, bring me closer to You…” ⠀ PS. Thanks JJ for snapping this photo of me doing my computer thanggg a few days ago 👩🏻‍💻 〰️ #kin #faith #spirituality #faithquotes #catholiccreatives #christianity #christiancreative #catholiccreative #quote #love #spirituality #liveauthentic #mass #makeportraits #honestmotherhood #mytinyatlas  #livethelittlethings #postthepeople #documentlife #nothingisordinary
“When you care deeply about the kind of human beings your children become, you spend a lot of time working on the kind of children they are.” @katiemblackburn ⠀ PS. This magic sketch board is the *best* gift we’ve ever received. True blessing for trips, restaurants, or just quiet time at home. ⠀ PPS. Zoom in to see what he wrote on his board @blippiofficial 🤪 〰️ #motherhoodrising #makeportraits #honestmotherhood #childhoodunplugged #nicaragua #momswithcameras #mytinyatlas #letthembelittle #livethelittlethings #memorizingmotherhood #thatsdarling #postthepeople #candidchildhood #documentlife #kidsactivities #jjforum
