Why We’re Choosing Concrete Floors In Our Home

Why We’re Choosing Concrete Floors IN Our Home One of the first decisions we’ve had to make for our new home was what the flooring in the main living area/first level would be like.

Motherhood has taught me the true meaning of love; how to deeply love another and myself unconditionally, with zero expectations. 🧡 I’ve grown to have an appreciation for the inconsistencies, the surprises, and simple joys that each day brings us and welcome them, with a patient and open heart. There is nothing more humbling or rewarding... or wild 😆
.
Celebrating the day with this little mush who has wished me a happy Mother’s Day as well as a happy birthday today 😆🥰 it’s a good day.

My sidekick. 👯‍♂️not quite sure how this little guy is going to be 3 next month! 🤯🧡
.
He’s started asking me to get my blanket and sleep in his room… (which I so kindly decline each night and I know I’m going to miss it when he’s over this stage)…telling me to leave the light on while I sing him bedtime songs so he “can see my beautiful face” 😆🙈…calling me “mommy” on and off instead “mama… lots of changes and lots of independence, more opinions and a ton of new skills, but he’s quick to remind me he’s not getting too big because he’s “still my baby”. 
.
Please be my buddy forever, but ya know, spread your wings and blossom and make meaningful and healthy relationships too, my love. 🥰

Any excuse to get closer. 😉 I can’t imagine Rob without his beard. It’s a part of him and we both love it…I’m digging the grays coming in too. Don’t worry babe, I won’t call you a silver fox just yet. 😜 😆🙈 @KingCGillette always has everything to keep beards looking fresh and trim, along with smooth skin.

 👉🏼 Check out our IG stories for all the info on the new product launch. The Style Master trimmer is waterproof so you can even use it in the shower. #KingCGillettePartner

Some photos I haven’t shared from Tucson the last few months. It’s been pretty special seeing the house progress. Crazy at times but feeling so grateful. I’m thinking of putting together a little photo album for Ollie of the progress. We’ve been going about every other week to check on the house and have meetings with our team. Now when we drive up, Ollie says “this one is going to be *my* house”, and my heart melts. 🥲 yes it is, little buddy. 👦🏻🧡

A little coffee truck love for one of our favs @firstplacecoffee … 🛻 🙌🏼☕️ there’s something to be said about what community can do for your heart and the amazing women behind @firstplacecoffee are all that and more…talented, humble, and incredibly kind. 
.
Growing up my dad had a snack truck/coffee truck. I loved getting a treat from it and I still remember being a few feet tall, looking up at the window from the outside of the truck. The thrill of it. The music. Do you have anything nostalgic from your childhood like that? 🧡It’s something I imagine Ollie feels when we grab coffee (and a small oat milk for O) from this incredible crew, who always shower him with so much love. 
.
People always ask us if we’re going to miss Phoenix when we make the move to Tucson. We’ll miss the people that have made this place feel like home and always have made us feel welcome, but thankfully it’ll be a quick drive. 💫We’re always asked what our coffee reccs are from people visiting Phoenix. Here’s a good one for ya! 🥰 ☕️
