Somehow I blinked, the little 6 year old girl I knew from the dance studio - the one with the big eyes, the smile that lit up a room, with the most kind heart - the one that would dance with me, sing with me, be the first to run into my arms - to the 8 year old girl that held the flowers down the aisle, that danced her heart out again on my reception floor - the one with the pretty princess dress, a heart of pure gold - somehow, I blinked & she’s no longer the little girl I remember. She’s graduating highschool, with bigger dreams, a bigger heart & a smile that still brings light to any room she enters 💛

Don’t blink, it all goes way to fast - even when they aren’t yours 🥲

The kids next door get married 💛🥰

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a true elopement, where it’s just us (+ my husband for witness).

It was special to watch them get dressed together, spend the day slowly. Sabrina helping with Troy’s jacket. Troy zipping Sabrina into her dress. Quiet moments were created where there is usually rushing, timelines, a room full of people waiting on us.

Taking our time exploring the property, fully emerged in each other & not a party waiting around the corner. It truly reminded me the beauty of elopement & how special this is.

This was truly so special to be apart of & I couldn’t be happier for you guys 💛 Love your old neighbors next door, you know where to find the salsa & treats 😉

May your weekend bring you a full dance floor of your favorite people & a playlist that lights your soul on fire 💛🥳👏🏼🍾

It’s been 10 years since I’ve taken a photograph with my Nanna, the last time we took family photos together was at my wedding, when my poppy was still alive.

I wasn’t missing the opportunity this time. I wasn’t making excuses or not finding time because this is important. Remembering her. My kids remembering her. It wasn’t anything crazy, we kept it simple, in my backyard with a quick transfer out of her wheelchair into the rocking chair that I’ve spent 9 years rocking my kids in.

They may not get the version of crazy driving, late night forbidden snacks on poppy’s couch, the sneaky shopping trips or the version of her when poppy was alive but they get her laugh, her spark & the memories of her being here. When we look back on these photos, I will see the woman who was my hero as a child - quite literally my favorite person. My kids will see the older version, the one that laughed with them, that stole bites of their food, snuggled them on her chair & made them feel important, even when she got confused & called them wrong names.

Thank you to everyone who gave me patience while I spent the last 2.5 weeks being my Nanna’s caregiver & spending time with her. We never know if it’ll be her last visit & it’s not something I take lightly, so thank you 💛

Here’s your friendly reminder: it’s important to remember the generations before you. To preserve their memory within you & your kids. One day, all my kids & I will have left, are these photos & the impact she left 💛
