In all the seasons, in all the wins, the losses, and the struggles he’s still my very best choice. Forever my Valentine @blakecarbo. Us against the world (or at least the minions tonight). 😜💜

Pretty sure Brenner was in the original think tank for Swipe Up on Instagram...he knew this was the business of the future. 😂

So, turns out three kids in and we still have no idea what we’re doing. Actually, that’s not totally true because we know enough to not rely on our tools that aren’t right for the exact kids we’re raising. We know enough to raise our hands and say, “We need help.” And we know enough to know that our kids are NOT bad, we’re just not speaking the same language currently and ultimately we’re chasing after their hearts more than short term behavior modification, so we’re upgrading our tool belt.

Every child is unique, and I believe you were 100% chosen to be their mom. But this does not mean that you should not ask for help. Or that paid professionals might be able to offer you keys to that heart connection with your kid that you so desire.
To all of the mamas raising kids with challenging demeanors, anger, impulsivity, outbursts; I see you. And to the mamas who have less challenging kids: have grace in the store for the tantrums, the loud noises that seem disruptive in the restaurant, and consider encouraging your fellow sister because if that’s what you’re seeing in public, you can almost guarantee she’s struggling even more at home. She needs a sister, a hug, and an encouraging smile because right now she needs to be reminded of the truth that she is doing better than she thinks. And that’s what sisters do for one another: they are truth tellers for the moments when we don’t believe it for ourselves. ❤️ And yes, my shoes are on the couch because I’m a grown ass adult and my rebel souls finds joy in breaking the rules when the kids are gone. 😂

We have our first baseball tournament this weekend, and I currently have ZERO chill about it. The boy’s, the sport, our bleacher crew, I can’t get enough.
When I was real pregnant with Brecken (my oldest), Blake and I had an overnight at a local hotel - a mini baby moon of sorts. I remember it being early evening, we grabbed takeout dinner and on our way back to the hotel (where we planned to eat - we fancy), we saw a Little League game happening at the fields next to us. Both Blake and I grew up playing the sport, and I shared MANY a special night on the couch watching with my Dad. We loved the game of baseball. 🥎⚾️Without worrying what type of creepers we looked like, we climbed up into the bleachers and began cheering for these little boys that we had absolute zero connection to. We sat there and cheered as if they were ours. And then we dreamed together of our future of this little boy we had not yet met. Fast forward (almost) 10 years, and we’re here, living out in real time, those visions and dreams we had 10 years ago cheering on those sweet little boys on that random field. TEN YEARS YA’LL! We’re racking up major bleacher-butt with some of my fave mamas, cheering our boys on. Win or lose - don’t care. This is the good stuff and I am HERE. FOR. IT. .
.
.
Whether it’s from the bleachers, the crowd, backstage, or simply kneeling by their bedside, CHEER for your littles. You are living the dream you dreamed of right now. These are the days you dreamed of. 💜💛 #baseballmom #boymom #sportsmom #thesearethedays #momlife
