This post should have been written yesterday but when you're busy rockin' the world with two little handsome men, seconds alone are few & far between. While driving to visit a stellar friend at her city view pool yesterday, I had a breakthrough. Judeman, the Duck, & I were bouncing to some Mumford & Sons, I looked in my rear view mirror to see that both of my boys were mimicking me. I had my hand out the window tapping the side of the car to the music & at that second it hit me. These kids are my clones. They watch every move I make. They will do whatever I do. They will love like I do. They will find happiness if I do. They will fight to be the best they can be every single moment... if I do. So here I am, pushing through struggles & I will overcome & because of that, they will too & that feels good.
there's my little man mimicking mommy.

It's truly as simple as that. As I sit around & complicate things, the truth is all there slapping me in the face. Be happy, Carly & your kids will be too. They will face so much in this world, it's inevitable & if they learn from you that happiness is key then you, in turn, are a successful mother. They will never long for love, or attention, or discipline, or joy. It will all be instilled in them by their happy mother.
Short insightful post for today! writing things like that down helps keep myself accountable for staying happy despite the battles. Now, off to meet the newest edition to our circle of friends, little baby Derek Thomas Schueler! this momma can't wait to get my hands on him & my camera into his little face!
Stay Lovely despite all struggles.
This post is truer than true, my love. No matter what happens, all that love you share with those babies will stick with them for their entire lives. Mwah <3
