And I’m still trying to figure out if I still like that “character trait”

Retired travel soccer mom life is a little quieter these days.

I miss the hectic schedules, the endless group texts, the 6 a.m. departures, and those “vacations” that somehow always revolved around a soccer tournament. I miss spending weekends on folding chairs, surviving on concession stand food and caffeine, and cheering alongside the best sideline crew anyone could ask for.

The fields may be behind us, but the memories, friendships, and countless miles traveled together will always have a special place in my heart. ⚽️❤️

Turns out, I wasn’t just raising an athlete—I was living some of the best years of my life as well.

It’s time for the next adventure.

Be present and be loud. It goes by too quick.
