One day, Gracie took out her play computer, sat down and opened it. She said to me “Mommy, ask to play with me!” I did. She then said, “I’m sorry, I can’t I have to work.” **Ouch. **What was a sweet moment and (likely) meant as a joke from my precocious toddler served as a needed reality check. I am too plugged in. I’ve been taking an Instagram-pause to examine my activity...and I’ve made a decision. I have to be more real, and I have to be more present. No more follow loops. No forced follows. Hashtags that are relevant....more writing, less filters. I was grateful for this self-check. I have been blessed with a story to tell, and so have you. I want to do less, and what I do, I want to be real.

One year ago today, arriving on her due date, our hearts grew a little bigger with the entrance of Avery Joy. Although she definitely marches to the beat of her own drum, she has fit so perfectly into our family. She is easy-going, yet determined, an expert snuggler, and she lights up any room with her infectious smile. With a name that fits her perfectly, we couldn’t be more thankful for our Avery Joy. Happy Birthday, goo goo! 📸: @jenlaurenphotography #littleaveryjoy #averypavery #1yearold
I’m over a week late, but that’s what happens when summer gets going! Avery is just shy of 1 year old and I can hardly believe it. She’s babbling up a storm, crawls fast like a pro in a silly tripod stance, and eats everything she sees. She loves music, her deer lovey, the cat and her big sister. We can’t wait to celebrate her first year of life! 🍍 👶🏼💕#littleaveryjoy #almost1 #11monthsold
