I miss all the fun Christmas traditions that we did when my kids were small. They just don’t want to go ride the Santa train or enjoy the Teddy Bear breakfast anymore. But Tulalip has outdone themselves with a fun-for-all-ages holiday experience that I know we’ll be visiting more than once. Don’t miss it!

Somedays you have to make more of an effort to choose Joy. You can remind yourself repeatedly that other people are up against much bigger obstacles and yours are very first world problems, and all of this is true. But you also have to give yourself a little grace sometimes and just realize that Your hard is still hard. Just as it does us no good to compare our successes with others, neither does comparing the burdens. I think by doing that we create unnecessary shame. Like we aren’t being strong enough or tough enough just to make the best of it and charge ahead. My hard today? 1. Waiting on MRI results for Landon’s leg injury that has resulted him in pain and missing out on life for a month and praying that we’ll know how to move forward (not being able to help your kid when they are hurting is the worst). 2. Working with insurance and water restoration experts in tackling the basement flooding from a rogue toilet. 3. Fruitlessly attempting to encourage Leika (7month old maltipoo) to go to the bathroom OUTSIDE. Nothing that won’t work itself out. Nothing that we won’t get to the other side. But today it feels blanket-over-your-head-hard. So I’m going to dinner with girlfriends and I’m going to eat tacos, drink a Margherita and laugh until I cry. If you find yourself up against a hard day and you need a friend (I absolutely do NOT do well with alone time in that headspace), feel free to reach out. I am always willing to be part of the village that walks with you through the hard and eat tacos.

A big takeaway from taking Landon’s senior photo

A big takeaway from taking Landon’s senior photos yesterday might be a bit cliche, but man alive does time go warp speed before you know it. It’s easy to get caught up chasing the busy and the everyday. I was scrolling through my phone at the ‘little Landon’ photos and am just so glad I have them. So my words of wisdom for the day? GET IN THE PHOTO! You and your kids at any age, any weight, any outfit, anywhere. You won’t regret it. #getinthephoto #makeportraits
