My babies are playing on a quilt made by their Great-Great-Great Aunt, who was born in 1895 and lived until 1990. 🥹
Just thinking about the life she lived and knowing something she made with her own hands is still being loved by family makes this feel so special.
Three generations later, her hands are still loving on my babies through every stitch. That’s love, history, and family stitched together. ❤️🧵
The world started going wrong when we stopped picking greens with grandma.
It wasn’t just about food. It was about sitting side by side, listening to stories, learning patience, laughing, and feeling loved without a screen in sight.
We didn’t just lose traditions. We lost connection.
Somewhere along the way, convenience replaced community, and hurry replaced heritage.
The world didn’t get messed up all at once. It started the day we stopped picking greens with grandma.
In our family, we’re doing our best to keep those traditions alive.
Hi everyone! I've wanted to post more and respond to all of your comments, but unfortunately, I have been exhausted. However, we are so excited to announce to our YouTube family that we are adding one more to our little family. #pregnancyannouncement#growingfamily

I don't know how you all drop your kids off at school and go relax. Kennedy started Pre-K and am not okay. I have cried like a baby.
My husband said Kindergarten is going to tear me up. I fear he is right.

Kennedy’s school held a Mother’s Day brunch this morning, and every family got to choose a theme. I chose “Pretty in Pink.” 🩷
We wanted to lean into several shades of pink, delicate lace details, and a timeless look that felt vintage without feeling outdated.
How did we do?
