I’m so emotional today. Maybe I need to check in with the moon bc every little big girl thing she does, has me on the verge of tears. . We went to the planetarium yesterday + I was worried that the dark would freak her out bc it used to freak her out during story time at the library. So as the lights dimmed to black + the dome lit up with stars, I was expecting wails, and instead I got “ohhhhhhhhhh” as she lifted her arms in the air + let herself fall back. It’s hard for me to comprehend that 2 short months ago, this would be the moment of stress + tears. These magickal moments are exactly why I wanted to be a SAHM. There have been lots of moments where I question this decision + my mental capacity for having made it, but these moments confirm that I am of a very tired, but sound + grateful mind✨
Cousin lovin’💚 . Another Virgo/Scorpio duo in our family. We are one big magickal hot mess✨
1 full month of travel, 3 cities, 8 flights, lots of parks + every puppy we saw. It wasn’t always easy or cute, but you did it my girl + I’m so proud of us💚.
Heard it’s Wednesday✨ . Photo cred // me, not @dolewite101
I try not to do things out of fear, but hoarding pictures is my exception to this rule. I have a fear that I will lose my memory + that I’ll be like my great-grandfather who died not remembering the people he loved or loved him. I’m afraid that I’ll have lived this beautiful life + not remember it or not remember all of these small but special moments... not remember all of her very many moods + all the different ways she smiles. . So I take a million pictures of the same moment + pour over them as I imagine a much older version of me, creating a story in my head of the woman who matched her daughter by the sea. I want to make sure she gets the story right... “young woman takes her daughter to see the charming town by the sea. She loved to look chic but was too tired to do her hair, as most young women with small children are, and she was past the days of wearing uncomfortable shoes in the name of fashion, so with a scarf on her head + sneakers on her feet, she followed her favorite girl around by the sea. They giggled, twirled, + waved to papa as he took their pics. Also, the young woman should have worn a bra bc those tits are tired!” (Remember, that’s the old version of me who doesn’t remember the young, free version of me. I feel like all older women think younger women should wear bras😂). . Thank you for the million, small but so very special, moments Barca. I hope I never forget them + if I do, I have a million pictures. Literally.💚
Sellie says thanks for all the well wishes, she feeling brand new! Send our things to Sitges, we ain’t coming back boo😘 . ps... look at these baby giraffe legs😍

From Barca with ❤️. . I saw a meme last night that said something to the effect of “the moment you have something to do is the same moment your kid will have a fever!” and sure enough... it was the nicest day since we’ve been here, we were supposed to go to Stiges, andddddd my poor girl spiked a 103° fever, and threw up all over everything + everyone! So we laid low, and spent the day nursing + skin to skin✨ We did manage to slip out for lunch during her nap, and I did the most during those 2 hours, clearly😂. . Her fever has dropped a bit + she kept some crackers down this evening, so send good juju that it was only a 24hr bug + she wakes up brand new🤞🏽.
