Cons: we’re 95% sure we’re getting stuck with February rent for two houses. Pros: we’ll probably have a free place in Hawaii for family or friends to stay in the month of Feb when you guys are super sick of winter 😉 seriously, let us know if you have the time and ability!!! We miss you all.

Big, deep sigh of relief (and once the tears start

Big, deep sigh of relief (and once the tears started flowing at church last night they didn’t stop 😭) We found out yesterday we’re getting our new place in Haleiwa with double the square footage of our current house.. And that was on the way to meet my birth team who we felt so at peace with (plus she lived right on pipeline which my boys were so excited about haha). And at 16 weeks, we finally got to hear this baby’s heartbeat ❤️ with all the stress we’ve endured I’d been holding my breath for this moment. So so so much gratitude that we have a little more clarity on what our lives are going to look like here and that it’ll be with all 4 of our wild babies. Stoked that God has led us to the north shore and for the people, culture, and opportunities that come with it.

First I loved this photo because of the connection

First I loved this photo because of the connection I felt from it. And then ooof. I realized it’s such a visual representation of our job as mothers. To invest in relationship and keep them close as we slowly learn to let go, and they pull towards their independence. Isn’t that the hallmark of successful parenting? Deep and lasting relationships as we raise them into independent, beautiful, soulful beings. I don’t know if my mama heart will ever be ready but I hope they are when it’s time ✨

Obsessed with the born and raised families here who stay sandy, can predict the waves a mile away, have so much talent, with kids who are permanent shades of bronze and bleach blonde, and so much zest for life and each other. This must be the place. 💛
