& Thats Okay

This weekend I decided to throw together my crew for some casual family pictures at the pumpkin patch. In true mom form,  I told everyone to throw on something nice & do their hair. Basically, don't look homeless. Haha. Then it happened. A dawning, a revelation, an "aha" moment,  if you will. See, my daughter is 11 years old. She's beautiful, smart & funny. But what she isn't, is girly. In fact, anything but. Her wardrobe consists mainly of Under Armour, hair in a more preferred side pony, & her Halloween costume this year is in fact, a Halo character. There's no girling up a Halo character people. So here's my realization, what I last minute grasped on to... that's okay. Forcing her to wear some girly dress was just not the way to go. I decided,  let her be herself. In all her side pony glory. & that's okay!! I think these days too many parents try to live vicariously through their kids or mold them to be just like them. In turn, you're only hurting the child. It's time to embrace their individuality. Let them learn to be themselves. Don't try to stifle them. Slow them to learn their own likes, dislikes, styles etc. Maybe this tomboy moment is just a phase of her life... or maybe she'll forever be this way. Who cares! As long as she is herself, who she is comfortable with & on her path in this life. 😁


& either way, THATS OKAY!


Have a good one y'all!

Date night!

Well, not really. Buttttt let me show you these little numbers you can wear if you do actually have a date night!! Unfortunately, we rarely get nights to just ourselves & that's really okay. There's no place in the world I'd rather be than home with my family. But,  should you find yourself the blessed soul of a moment to ravish your husband, have strictly adult conversation &  just plain CHILL... here's what all  you should do it in next! Haha
