and Matching Moments That Mend

Life doesn’t stroll… it sways, pivots, and occasionally tosses in a surprise plot twist when you least expect it. One minute everything feels smooth, like a calm lake at sunrise, and the next… a ripple, a wave, a full-on splash you didn’t see coming.

And when you’re a mama, those waves don’t just hit you. They touch your babies too.

This season for my girl hasn’t been the easiest. It’s been filled with transitions, new experiences, and moments that ask more of her than she feels ready to give. The kind of moments that feel big… heavy… overwhelming before they even begin, and somehow still linger after they’re over.

I won’t share all the details, because some things are sacred in a mother-daughter story. But I will say this… when life feels too loud for her, we try to answer with something gentle.

We pause.

We pray.

We breathe.

And then, we twin.

There’s something beautifully simple about it. Matching colors. Coordinated outfits. The same shoes, the same glasses… side by side like two little mirrors saying, “You’re not alone in this.” It’s not just about clothes. It’s about connection. It’s about wrapping her in something visible that says, I’m right here with you.

Then come her favorite little joys… getting to choose where we eat, the sparkle in her eyes when she says “Starbees,” like it’s a magical destination instead of just a coffee stop. Those moments may seem small to the world, but to her… they soften the edges of the hard things.

And to me? They matter more than words can hold.

Because in the middle of the tough days, when emotions run high and hearts feel tender, I want her to remember this:

That she was never alone.

That her mom and dad didn’t just walk her through the hard… we sat in it with her, hand in hand.

That we found ways, even simple ones, to make the bitter feel a little sweeter.

One day, she might not remember every detail of what made this season hard. But I hope she remembers the feeling of being loved through it. The matching outfits. The laughter tucked between tears. The little treats that turned heavy days into something softer.

Motherhood isn’t about fixing everything.

Sometimes, it’s about standing in the middle of the storm with your child… holding an umbrella made of prayer, love, and a perfectly matched pair of shoes ☕💛

And her heavy load

25 days ago I started jogging/walking to check the mail,in the evenings. Which is 1/4 of a mile from the house. I jog/walk all the way down and another 1/4 mile to a turn around circle at the end of our street,and walk back home on an incline driveway. It’s my“me time”at the of the day, it challenges me to finish what I started. Every evening I get to run along side a momma deer and her baby. I’ve set 6 weight goals,reach my 1st and one lbs away from my 2nd goal. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,because I love to be in the comfort of my home,love my food and my AC. 7 years ago I had a VSG (vertical sleeve gastronomy ) done a TOOL to help with weight loss,not the solution but a tool.After a year I reached my goal weight ,and got comfortable and started back on old non healthy habits,this caused half of the weight to come back on.The struggle is real weight loss surgery is not the easy way out ,specially when you have complications after surgery.It’s just a jump start to ge...

In the slow lane

It's said that a mother's job is never done no weekends or holidays off. 24/7 all year round. Meetings,Doctor's appointments,school projects,groceries,laundry,meals,and the list goes on.... After years in the fast lane and none stop speeding you get to a point where you run into the slow lane.  No matter how many kisses and snuggles you get it doesn't change the fact that your body is feeling the effects of running on 4 hrs of sleep and the lack of caffeine.No energy left and the house looking like a tornado just crossed through it.Just the thought of the many things that need to be done exhaust you even more. The daily routine becomes a norm and you realize that you have taken the load on yourself and that the people that care for you want to give you a little push and help you carry the load but you don't know how to ask for the help or even let go and accept the help.  How do you let go? How do you ride the slow lane? How do accept a lending  hand?   Lord It'...

At the Olympics

When you have a million things to do,have 3 sick toddlers that are beyond exhausted who refuse to sleep and they are bouncing of the walls on pure adrenaline. Lunch is hasn't made it down to my stomach and Its time to run. Because they think they are part of the World's Olympic Gymnastic Team and their beds are their trampolines. They sound beautiful talking to each other and the laughing its contagious,But can we just take a break and get some rest and let mamma do the Juggling of the the laundry ,the sweeping,the dishes,the mopping and ta coffee break before its time to go load up the car and head for the bus stop. Four days of being unable to walk or move about after throwing my back out picking up one of the babies,took its toll on the house,Milton and the boys were great cooking , trying to clean and keep up with the 3 little ones but even then I feel like its time to start our daily routine of cleaning and keeping up with everything,Summer is done no more slacking. ...
