some of you may remember THIS POST from a few months back…well i have been given a second chance to be a part of something special…a second chance to be held accountable…like i said in that post today is a new day, a fresh start and chance to make right what went wrong yesterday.  EVERY SINGLE DAY is a lesson, learn from it.

So as you will see i have joined a circle of incredible women and am forever grateful to be a part of this.  these women speak my language.  they FEEL every moment of their lives, the good, the bad, the frustrating and the so happy you can’t catch your breath ones.  AND THEY SHARE THEM.  these letters will move you through a range of emotions and be prepared if you are like me and you cry at songs or commercials you will prob shed a tear to two.  As you will see our lives are so very different and so very awesome in our own ways, in fact we are located all over the world..but we all share one simple common thread, we love our baby girls with every ounce of us.  and after all i can’t imagine a better thing to share.

after you read my letter please follow the circle…start by heading to my sweet friend Amy Lucy Lockheart | Minneapolis Photographer  her twin babies are beyond divine and she writes to them in such a way that i truly feel like they are my neighbors, ha.

My sweet freckles and my little squishy,

We just got back from a whirlwind, surprise trip to Disneyworld!  Yes i have been planning this trip for 9 months, and believe it or not i kept it a secret!!!  (someday you will know more about my utter distaste for secrets and surprises and you will know how hard this one was for me to keep, ha)  While i could write about how we had the time of our lives, or how exciting your first plane ride was, or even how i sat on the curb for 3 hours using a camera bag, waterbottle and a bag of cheetos as placeholders just so that you two ladies could have the most perfect seat in the house for the light parade and fireworks over the castle….i wont.  I mean we seriously have a flip book of pictures documenting every second of our trip ( i think daddy took almost two thousand ;)).  while all of that was wonderful and we have stories upon stories to talk about for years to come, the part of our trip that struck me the most, the part that crumbled my heart into a million little pieces was the magic of it all through your eyes.  Im not sure i can really put into words the way your face lit up when you saw who or what was coming around the corner on the next float, or the way you both instinctivly threw your hands in the air and twirled and laughed til your bellies hurt when we walked onto mainstreet and it was magically “snowing”, or even the look on your faces when you met the princesses, or the gasps when you saw yourselves in the mirror all “fancied” up after the bipitty bopitty boutique.  But what i do know is that in your own words “your dreams come’d true” this past week!  And THAT baby girls is what you do for me!  every day living life and see’ing the world through your eyes is a dream come true for me. 

 I want you to know baby girls,  that life is about having dreams and living them…

it’s about making your own magic and spreading it to others

see’ing the glass as half full

and knowing that somedays are not just a mess but a beautiful mess, you just have to look a little harder

but just know when you need a little help jumping over that puddle or see’ing the beautiful through the mess, daddy and i will always be there…we will always do what we can to continue make all of your dreams come true.

keep dreamin’ babies, love you

– mommy
