I've been a mom since I was 15 and today the weight of that caught me off guard. Not in a sad way, just in a whew, that's a lot of years to carry something so heavy and love it so deeply kind of way. I raised babies while I was still becoming myself. I made decisions before I even had the language for sacrifice. I've mothered through every version of me-broke, growing, healing, and rebuilding. I'm just in awe of the girl who became a mother before she even became a woman.

Spending every Spring break at my family’s house in Florida and enjoying every second of our time away from school and work. 10 days a year of laughter and love.

I have been working hard to save money to be able to buy my first house. My kids and I have always rented and I would love a forever home for my grandkids to enjoy and make memories like my children have of my parents house. It would go towards my down payment!
