No matter what state we live in or what house, it was right here in my mommas arms that made it feel like home ๐ก Still to this day as a (semi ๐) grown adult, nothing feels more like home than a hug from my mom! ๐ Happy Motherโs Day to all the mommas out there! You deserve to be celebrated today and everyday! And especially to my mom for all the snuggles, unending love, and putting up with my wild hair ๐คฃ Love you so much @pable ๐๐ป and I canโt wait to hug you again! ๐

Yโall, things have changed so much around here behind the scenes... โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ The team weโve built over the years has evolved from husband-wife to adding a best friend and then a few more rockstar babes! โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ But now? Well, it's dissipated, each sweet friend either moving physically to another state or just on to a new adventure in their life! And we couldn't be happier for them!!! ๐ฅณ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ But I couldn't help feeling lonely the first few months of 2020, missing the girls that made this business a family for me, and just a little unsure how to deal with it. ๐ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ Do we hire more team members? How could we possibly replace these sweet souls we love so much? โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ Should I just slow down and focus on life with these two little ones at home? โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ The never-ending momma struggle of work/life balance, am I right?! ๐ฅด โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ Then COVID happened ๐ฃ... While this has been an absolutely crazy/uncertain/insane/weird/scary/fearful/(insert all the feelings ever๐ฉ) time for us and everyone around the globe, part of me feels like I needed this time. Time to focus on the babies. Time to just be a mom!๐คญ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ Looking back on old photos like this reminds me that this business was my first baby. I've put my heart and soul into it for a decade, y'all! โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ I know I will never close the doors or anything like that but maybe just maybe I need this time to REST for a little while and spend time with the two little loves right in front of me who won't be little for long... โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ If this time at home has brought big changes in your life, you are not alone! I am here for you, friend! And I'd love to hear about them and support you in any way I can! ๐๐ป๐๐

This exact day last year we woke up to two little lines that would change our life forever! We found out we were pregnant with this little love bug ๐๐ป๐ We were pretty shocked, excited but shocked ๐คชHow are we going to do this? How are we going to build a house and be pregnant at the same time? We just signed papers on our house and only hoped itโd be done by Jan 1st. And then of course our due date was none other than January 1st ๐ Godโs sense of humor is next level sometimes. Despite the fear, stress, anxiety and all that came along with running two businesses, chasing a toddler, building a house, living with in laws and being pregnant, we made it through by the grace of God (and @westpoint_construction finishing our house 2 weeks early ๐๐ป๐ญ๐ฅณ). It felt like a long, hard season but now here we are and sheโs 4 months old!! ๐๐ญ I know this current uncertain season is stressful and scary for so many reasons but we will get through this. And I hope we will all walk out the other side more grateful for the little things like target runs and movie dates, be more kind to our neighbors, more united with those we donโt always agree with and more loving to absolutely everyone than ever before! Hereโs to Texas lifting the stay at home order today ๐๐ป๐ฅณ Love you guys!

Our life looks a lot like this right now... Itโs a โIs it poop or chocolateโ kind of messy life๐ Itโs constant โCoronaโ hair because brushing it sounds exhausting when you have no where to go! A new level of exhaustion I didnโt know was possible with 11 pm, 2 am and 4 am wake ups. ๐ฅด But still wanting to somehow freeze time and soak up every second because I know years from now Iโm going to miss this phase so fiercely. ๐ญ And constantly laughing with @kellanryan because there is no other way to survive this๐คฃ๐ Howโs everyone else holding up?! ๐ฅด๐๐ป

Happy Easter, friends! ๐๐ป๐Guess how many bribes it took to get Kinsey to be in this photo?! ๐๐๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ (Photographing your own kids is exhausting ๐ฅด ) I donโt know if itโs the sleep deprivation or the current state of our world ๐ but itโs hard to believe Easter ๐ฃ came so quickly this year. We didnโt go anywhere but put on our Sunday best for these photos to remember this once in a lifetime Easter experience, just us. This social isolation sort of just feels like an extension of our life with a newborn ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ Either way, we are happy to be home safe and getting socially close to these two love bugs. ๐ Anyone else dress up for photos just to change back into mom-leisure right after?! ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ Love you guys and hope you had a sweet Easter with the ones you love ๐๐ป๐ Swipe to see Kinseyโs excitement finding crackers in her eggs ๐

Isnโt it crazy how God puts people in your life at the most perfect time? Corley and Ben were those people for us! We didnโt have a ton of married friends when we photographed their gorgeous wedding in the Dominican almost 5 years ago! Iโm convinced photographing a private elopement pretty much makes you besties right away! ๐๐ป๐คช๐We have been doing life together ever since! Weโve been pregnant together twice and now sheโs having baby #3, a sweet little girl! ๐๐๐ I think that calls for a celebration๐ฅณ๐ Canโt wait for all the girls days with @wearethespells ๐๐ @spellevents So grateful for this sweet #cottoncouplesinlove turned besties! #bestpartofthisjob

Great marriages donโt just happen. It takes intentionality every. single. day! โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ Itโs choosing to study your spouse, learning their love language and doing something to show you love them every single day with intention. ๐ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ #beating50percent #cottoncouplesinlove
