Spring Cleaning: making a disaster of everything we own to clean out closets and storage... but sweet, sweet relief when it’s all put away!

Strategically placed centerpieces hide the leftover Cheerios on Luxe’s tray... real life, y’all.

i stand

on the sacrifices

of a million women before me

thinking

what can i do

to make this mountain taller

so the women after me

can see farther"

“Mama, wook at us, we a boo-tiful fami-wee!”

Luxe has gotten so big!!! She’s adorable. So is Thea. Do you like living in Seattle? Would you like to live somewhere else?

Yes! They’re so fun at this stage. Growing fast! She’s getting tooth #8 already!

We love it here. All our people are here and it’s “home”. There’s nowhere else we’d rather be!

[freshlymintedmrs]

Is Luxe a red head as well? Do you think it will stay red?

It’s red, but not as bright as Thea, more strawberry blonde. I hope it does!! Gingers!!
