Believe it not, this is my third or fourth blog that I’ve consistently kept over the past 10 years. I keep switching my platform/domain name for various reasons but on one of my previous blogs, I had a category of posts filed as “Instead of Insta”. They were posts that featured pictures that didn’t make it onto Instagram but that I still wanted to document and remember. I think I’ll do the same on this blog!

There are certain days in motherhood that can feel like a hurricane meeting a tsunami meeting an earthquake. All the things that could possibly go wrong, DO go wrong, creating one catastrophic day that you cannot WAIT to end.

Today was not one of those days! I only got 4 hours of sleep last night (I woke up randomly at 2am and could not, for the life of me, get back to sleep) but had an abundance of energy regardless. My kids were extra cute and cuddly and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of overwhelming gratitude for the gift that they are to me. More precious than jewels! (Yes, I know the Bible says this in reference to a good wife but I don’t have a wife, I have three adorable babies.)

I love these three to the moon and back.
