Happy Father’s Day, @davidleeblair! Today I celebrate you. You love our babies so well- our 8 in heaven, our future kids, and our two fur babies. I’ve seen you grow in love and your role as a father, and I can’t wait for the season when we have kids running around our house and you will hold them, protect them, love them, read to them, and teach them how to do basically anything and everything. You are so special to all of us, and I love you more than words can say!
Sometimes rest and relaxation are just what the soul, body, heart, and mind need to recharge and rejuvenate. As an enneagram 3, this can often be challenging for me. In a world that celebrates being busy and working overtime as a status symbol, it is often going against the grain to choose to intentionally stop and rest. It takes courage to rest. But it’s in the rest that the real work is done, because intentional rest creates an environment where healing and growth can occur. #selfcare #rest #recharge #healing #growth #courage
Five years ago today, I experienced the first signs of my first miscarriage. It’s crazy to think about what our life would look like today if pregnancy loss weren’t a part of our story. Five years later I can say everything has changed, yet everything remains the same.

To my first angel in heaven, I miss you. I miss you today and every day. Five years ago today you taught me that life is fragile, there are no guarantees. You helped me to learn not to take a single day for granted. You inspired me to take joy in the little things this life has to offer. You helped me to have confidence to face the unknown and lean on those who love me even when I don’t understand why things turn out the way they do. You showed me what a mother’s love truly feels like. I don’t regret a single second of your life, and if I could redo or undo everything, I would choose to carry you for 9 weeks all over again. Every. Single. Time. You made me a Mama, and I’ll never forget that.

When you’re walking the road in front you, no matter how shaky, scary, or unstable, don’t forget to take the time to pause and see the beauty around you. Sometimes, it may even be behind you. But beauty is always there. The unstable, the shaky, the uncertain... it’s only a season. The bridge doesn’t last forever, and most of the time, when you get to the other side, you can see the beauty in all you have accomplished and overcome.⠀
