Silly Daisy

I’m sure I’m not the only one loving stripes!

We love these earrings with fun pops of color. They keep things simple and minimalist while adding the perfect little touch of fun for summer.

Meet Rylan, a young entrepreneur and the face behind Tutti Fruity Slime. 🍓🍍🥥

We love seeing young makers pursue their passions and share them with the community. His slimes are now available for purchase. Come support Rylan and his slime creations!

This is one of my favorite photos as a mom. I still remember the sweet chaos of raising a busy toddler while caring for a baby. It was exhausting, beautiful, and so worth it.

Now my kids are 17 and 14, and motherhood feels completely different these days. It’s a different kind of motherhood — less physical exhaustion, more emotional stretching. Some days I want to squeeze them tight and smother them with kisses (if they let me), and other days I can’t believe I created these irrational humans. But voilà… that’s motherhood, right?

Thank you to my husband, , for walking through this journey with me and always reminding me that we’re doing okay as parents. I love and appreciate you so much. Thank you to my children for teaching me what matters most in life. And thank you to all the mom friends in my life for letting me be part of your village.

To everyone who considers themselves a mother — Happy Mother’s Day to us all!

Celebrate your sweet mama or mother figure. I believe Mother’s Day includes dog moms, cat moms, bunny moms, and all the women caring for other beings. Let’s celebrate them too!
