Holidays

Pumpkin daze are upon us and my little pumpkins had some fun decorating some. I haven’t been super into holidays these last few years but this is one tradition we never skip. Grateful for another carving sesh with my little ones.

We spent another Christmas in Mexico, spending lots of quality time together and surfing the warm Pacific waves. It’s hard to believe that this exact time last year I felt the first signs of a tiny baby growing in my belly. Now she’s here, growing our family with love. Whenever we’re all in this beautiful…
