The month of MAYhem has come to a close and I had to catch some of the highlights (and a few lowlights).
To catch a cute reel I made of some of the highlights from this month and even some captured lowlights head to my Instagram to see it!

-Liv found a cat that she was obsessed with at the pet store. 🐱
-Violet loves to dress up! In Liv’s night gowns, crowns, headbands, socks, shoes, necklaces! But only for fun and on her terms, if it’s for Mom or if a bow is involved it’s a no go!
-loved prepping lots of treats for Violet’s belated first birthday party, Violet especially loved the sugar cookies 🍪
-We celebrated her birthday party late because we went to Disneyland the same week back in February then once we got back life happened and we couldn’t catch up. We set a date and May seemed like the perfect time for a flower market! It was so fun to celebrate our littlest lady! 🌸

Low Lights
-Liv has had more stomach problems. We were so hopeful that it was getting better, but we don’t think it is. Back to the doctors we go.
-V had several days of not feeling well. Liv is the sweetest big sister and knows how sad it is to not feel well.
-Our house has been a wild zone of catch all while prepping for Violet’s party. Every space has been a little crazy. Luckily towards the end of this month we’ve been able to sort and clean spaces and I feel like I can finally breath again. I thrive in a clean space!
-We’re having some fun issues with our pipes/drains. The joys of being a home owner!
-I still have some health and dental issues I’m working through. Plus lots more. There are always more low lights than you think. But I focus on that so much in my own mind I’m trying extra hard to focus on the highlights! Life is so much more than one day, one conversation, one picture or one post.
Grateful everyday I get to live life with these cuties! The month of MAYhem is over!
