When we first moved two months ago I had this need to get every single room decorated and organized. Boy, did reality set in quickly 🤣 It certainly takes time and slowly, but surely one by one our home is becoming more like our home!

We have a game + play room that is in the works of coming together! The boys have spent a lot of NFL football games downstairs! And I was so happy when our .happyhome rug arrived!!! It brings the room together well and being that we don’t have any seating in the game room yet, the kids don’t mind one bit and always make themselves comfortable on the rug 🥰 it is a work in progress!! Our .happyhome rugs are washable, which is amazzzzzing!! You can use my code: theperfectmom 15% off

2023, we are ready for ya!!! 💕

Nothing like ringing in the new year in my sweat pants, watching the ball drop at 6:30 on YouTube from two years ago, and being surrounded by people I love 🖤

Happy New Year 🎊

Slowly, but surely our home is feeling more and more like our home 🥰 When we had to move out of our old house we sold A LOT of our things (A LOT!!) so it has felt like a slower process bringing things together in our new home—-especially moving during the holiday season and the extra added expenses 🤪🎄BUT this space is my favorite!! The openness, beams, windows!! It is coming together 😭🥰 We ordered our rugs for the living space and play room from .happyhome 💕 They are beautiful and washable, which is huge plus with all my children😜We knew we wanted .happyhome in our home again 🖤 I am looking forward to sharing this special home with you more as it comes together!!

Ry and I have yet to agree on how to spell her name 🤪 At my last appointment I signed consent for a VBAC 🙏🏻💕 I was induced with Cambria and had the most incredible VBAC experience. I also loved being induced. We will see how her birth story plays out, but I am hoping for a similar experience (while also not having high expectations) ❄️ The 3D images are wild!! I feel very pregnant and decided I like being pregnant during summer more than winter 🤪 It is hard to believe she will be here in 8 weeks!! 🥰

Just look for the pregnant reindeer 🎄😜 The Christmas festivities have begun 🎅🏻 We went to the Encinitas Holiday Parade with my fam last night! The cousins all loved being together and it’s one of my favorite things that my sisters and I do with our mom each year. I think one of my favorite parts of the night was eating the Cali burrito I had been thinking about all day long 😂

My whole world. 🤍 My big kids look so grown up!! They are start at their new school next week. I was excited that all three were able to be in separate classes 👍🏻 it has been extremely beneficial for them to thrive individually. I’m praying it will be a smooth transition and that they make some good friends easily! Cambria will miss having them home. She lives for time with her big siblings 💕 Before you know it, her newbie baby will be here!

Sometimes God takes you on a journey you didn’t know you needed. The last several months have been a whirlwind of joys and h heartaches, laughter and tears. The Lord has shown me that there is so much beauty in gratitude in every season, even when you feel like you have to search deeply for it. The Lord has fulfilled my heart greatly in my weeping and in my joys this year. He is so good to us and we are rejoicing and celebrating in thankfulness today. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours 🤎
