Sliding into TWO like... #nailedit

I was feeling myself yesterday + I definitely wanted a “Hot Mom of a 2yr old!” pic to commemorate the moment. So, when I saw my husband taking pictures of this sweet moment + I didn’t even ask him to do it, I was like... OK!! Today is my day! . Then I saw the pics... This is NOT the shot I had in mind, but you know what, this is the most “hot, mom of a 2yr old, picture taken by a husband” there ever was. Ever. . I was most definitely hot bc it was 114° out + I was carrying a 30lb human blanket around the park to pet all the puppies. And, what says “mom of 2yr old” more than this not-so-Meg-theee-stallion, that I need both hands to get up from, squat? And, this angle... titties + bussin it wide open, screams: my husband, who knows nothing about angles, took it bc I asked him to take more candid pictures + so, this is what I get. Beggars can’t be choosers 😭. . File under: Hot Mom of 2 year old. Literally. PC // @dolewite101

I had such a good week, I thought... “I don’t even know what I’ll talk about in therapy today!” I sat down + she asked, “so, what’s it like to be a mom of a two year old?” Cue the ugliest cry there ever was, that lasted for the full hour... . Motherhood in one word: BITTERSWEET. Every moment is about holding on + letting go, at the same time. I’m blown away everyday by how she’s changed overnight. It’s amazing to witness + it fills my heart in ways that I didn’t know possible. I want her to live with us forever. We can match, pet puppies + cuddle in my robe every night before bed, but the goal is to prepare her to go out into the world + to have all the experiences... without me. I know, it’s heartbreaking to even think about! I will go from seeing every “ohhhhh + ahhhhh,” as the world unfolds before her eyes, to waiting by the phone to hear all about her new adventures, second hand. My heart is hurting thinking about it... . This week’s homework: give myself permission to cry. Milestones are amazing moments of celebration, but they are also moments where grief creeps in, emotions swell up + we need to exhale. Take the moment mama. . If you need me, I’ll be crying over my baby turned big girl, who insisted on jumping in the bounce house with the big boys today. I did breathing exercises the entire time! “Please don’t land on her... Please don’t kick her... Please don’t break your neck... or your arm... or your leg... OMG he head butted her! ... Ok, she’s ok!... Breathe Kenya, you’re both gonna survive this fucking bounce house” My heart + nervous system are not set up for big girl life😬😩. Send wine.

Filling my heart in ways in ways I didn’t know possible✨

You are the brightest, purest, + most beautiful spirit I’ve ever loved. We’re so lucky you chose us to guide you on this journey. May it always be always be bright + full of goats✨ . Sharing Sellie’s barnyard bash in my story🐐

Happy Birthday to the sweetest, the bestest + my most favorite farmer in all the lands✨ . I can’t believe we have a 2 year old! It’s been a whirlwind 2 weeks (seriously, I’ve been trying to make this post since 5pm🤦🏽‍♀️), so I haven’t had time to properly cry + reflect like I want to, but I’m going to accept that as the universe doing me a solid + keep it pushing for now, bc this farm party isn’t going to set itself up . Prepare your mind for some ridiculously cute farmers y’all🌾
