Morning Coffee Chats, Life Lately.

I can’t believe it’s already time to start saying Happy Holiday’s! Like where in the world did this year go!? 

My family and I have had so much fun celebrating Halloween, the kids were Batman and a witch and the joy on their faces when they run around trick or treating is just precious. Halloween has always been one of my favorites but holidays in general are just my jam, especially as a mom. 

We are fully ready to dive into the holiday season though and I’d be lying if I said my tree wasn’t up already because it is and I love it. Just like they say, turkey tastes just as good with your Christmas tree up 😜🎄

This year has been a tough one on and off though but especially these last few weeks actually but I’m faithful and hopeful it will all be ok in the end. You can only pray about the things you cannot control and that’s what I’ve been doing. 

I’m really just ready to take a step back and relax this winter with my family. It’s been a big wake up call and one I wish I never would have gotten but family really is all that matters and the time you get to spend together is such a gift! It really, really is. 

I feel like we worry too much about the things that don’t matter the most and I am definitely guilty of it. 

My anxiety definitely gets in the way.

So let’s slow down, read those books you’ve had on your tbr for a while.

Watch those movies and shows that make you happy and relax.

Spend time with your family and loved ones.

Have game nights and date nights.

Just decompress.

That’s my goal the last two months of this year and I hope it’s yours too! (Last two months, so crazy!)

Thank you for letting me chat, sometimes I just come here to write because it helps get things out you want to say and do so I’m thankful for my readers ❤️

A Letter to My Sassy Little Girl That I So Needed.

Dear Daughter,

I never knew how much I needed a little girl until you came into my life.

Your head full of hair and sweet little cheeks, nose and lips I could not stop staring at when you were born.

The dreamy after feeding smiles and the long nights of walking around rocking you while you wailed and wailed.

My sour patch kid, and I could not love you more.

Your independence and your strength are admiring. Of course keeping up with your older brother I’m sure has contributed to that strength and sassiness you have but that’s ok. I hope you never lose it. It’s so important to be strong and independent as a child and as an adult, especially as a woman. I just know you will move mountains.

I hope you know how beautiful you are, even now at two-years-old with your blonde curls and big blue eyes, that cheeky little grin. I hope you never stop saying “I so pretty” when you put on a new dress or a new bow in your hair that you love. My words to you will always, always stay positive and I only pray your words to yourself will as well.

I hope you know I will always be there for you as your mom but as your friend as well. I will never let you feel like you can’t come to me for anything, no matter what. I will be there to help, to teach and to comfort and to listen to you and your brother, always.

It’s such a privilege that I was picked to be your mama.

Always keep your strength, your sassiness, your sweetness and your attitude. Your independence and your love for adventure. Your positivity and your love for everyone in your life.

I am so blessed to be on this journey with you.

I love you baby girl.

Love always,

Your mama.
