You need to check on your friends. You need to check on folks you don’t even know. It’s not your duty, but it feels so good to think about someone besides yourself. It only takes a second to text or DM “How ya holdin up?”. Even when I don’t have time to actually interact, I ask. One more thing. They won’t always have the energy to talk about it, but they’ll always appreciate the gesture ❤️

I took the kid to assist with a photo shoot. It happened to be pajama day at school, but she probably would’ve been dressed this way anyway because her mom is a bum, too 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s a sad realization for some of us, but everyone has his/her struggles. The man that treats you right may not be easy on the eyes but he’ll care about your mental health. That’s important 💯 cc: @berrycurly

In 2016, life gave me a bucket of lemons and I had no idea what to do with them. 2017 gave be pure cane sugar and Fiji water. I had all the ingredients that I needed to make lemonade. Not just any lemonade, tho. I’m talking Chick-Fil-A lemonade. A little bit-o-twang and a whole lotta sweet...lemonade. Fresh squeezed lemons on the coast of Amalfi..lemonade. 2018 gone be Lemon Drop Martinis 🍋🍸 (at Everywhere and Anywhere)

We don’t get to see a lot of Baby Keon here on the interwebs. He’s a behind the scenes kinda guy. He plays LEGO Marvel video games all day as to not be bothered by the bossy little girls he’s forced to share spaces with. This is the sweetest human being I’ve ever met and will always be my favorite kid on the planet ❤️

I finally uploaded the Denver pics from my camera and stared at the 3 most amazing human beings I’ve ever Metofe hours (really just for like 12 seconds but it felt like hours 😂😍 (at Loveland Ski Area)

Anyone following me 2 years ago remembers perfect photos and life’s moments of my family and adorable baby and kid portraits. Somehow I’ve evolved and started posting travel photos, self-love and captions laced with petty shade. Shouts out to everyone that pushed through and stuck along for the ride. I’ll do my best to start posting my work again, and in the meantime, you can catch my travel shenanigans and self love/selfies via @catfishchristin I’ll do my best to keep the petty shade to a minimum over there. I’m lying but that sounded good.
