Editing to add in current time…. 02/21/2022

OMG, I am SOOOO ready to go on vacation!!! I want to wear ALL the summer hats, feel the SUN on my face. It’s been TOO LONG.

We are in constant work mode on various properties.

Are we SO lucky to have those properties? YES!! Is it a LOT of work? Also yes.

If you don’t follow us on Instagram, you can hopefully click here to see all the things…

We’ve cancelled 7 vacations during Covid, and I’m SO over it.

I know I’m SO fortunate to even have HAD a vacation scheduled, but…for me… I can handle a lot. I can handle not doing things when it’s planned.

What I can’t handle well, is something planned and then taken away. Last minute change is not something I deal with well, and…It’s been our life lately. ON REPEAT!

So…you can just imagine my mental state….for all the days lately.

On me…

Hat- (Thrifted)

Jumpsuit- Aqua (ebay)

Belt- Vintage (thrifted)

Clogs- Swedish Hasbeens (ebay SCORE for $17)

On Maya…

Top- Crewcuts (thrifted)

Shorts- DIY cut off Levi’s (thrifted)

Keeping it Real…

Well…there are challenges to wearing strapless anything with active children!!

And…said child that still wants to jump ON your outfit and pull it down… Ok, no more strapless outfits for me!

Or…hats?

Good thing she’s so sweet and cute!

Dancing barefoot into the weekend…who needs shoes??
•
I’m not going to lie…this week was a shit storm. And I haven’t felt like posting lately… so much going on!! 💔
•
I had four shoots now that we are in phase 2, and I honestly lost sleep about how I was going to do them. Not only how I would do them safely, but what would I do with Maya!?
•
My parents were and always have been a blessing! It’s more complicated now. They are high risk, so any interaction she has with them is somewhat remote… She walks over there (BY HERSELF-such a joy for her!) and hangs out outside while they watch her from afar on their balcony. I pack a lunch for her. It’s in no way perfect, but…it’s worked this week, and I’m so thankful!
•
I’m even more thankful when she comes home! To see her so happy to have been with someone other than me for the day.
•
I feel so bad for her right now. She’s been a total rockstar, but…
•
I’m so scared that WE are suffering. Our relationship…
•
I’m determined to capture us, even if we can’t go anywhere. AND, I’m determined to capture the “REAL US” in videos. • #LKkeepingitreal
BOTH are real…

Happy Weekend! #iHaveThisThingForMulletTops
