BABY TURNS 1!! 🥳 To say this lil nugget came into our lives and changed everything, would be an understatement. @kaaviajames has been such a gift and blessing to our family and literally everyone she meets. Yall, I’m still in shock she’s even here much less walking, talking, swimming and eating bacon!

Scared to hold you. Scared to burp you. Scared to reveal I have no clue what I’m doing. Scared to go to work. Scared to stay home. Scared when you sleep. Scared when you wake up. Scared I’m not living up to some impossible standard of motherhood. Scared I’d lose myself. Scared I’d be exposed as a failure, as less than, not as good as, not as comfortable as, not as… anything. But there you were, everyday, looking up at me, like “gurl, you got this!” When I let go of my fears of judgement and just did my best and recognized that my best would and could change from day to day and life would magically go on… Man, I finally allowed myself to just enjoy you @kaaviajames and relax into the peace of imperfection. 1 year in and your whole village stays smiling. The family you know and all the cyber aunties and uncles you may never meet, we celebrate you.

My ORIGINAL favorite girlHappy 65th birthday to my beautiful mother. You have always been my number 1 fan. I remember when i was around 7 or 8 years old—you would take me to the park and tell me to “go get me a game”. We would be there all day waiting on that one game when they needed one more. Thank you for believing in me and loving me enough. I hope you feel that same love on your day. There’s no me without you. Thank you thank you thank you
