Summer is over and the girls are finished with their first 6 weeks of @britishswimschool lessons 🏊‍♀️ both have gained so many new skills but the most thing they have gained is confidence! Confidence in and around the water has lead to them being more confident in their everyday life. I can’t believe how much they have grown during this season ☀️ be sure to check out your local @britishswimschook location to sign your little up for lessons - trust me, you won’t regret it 😌

peace out kindergarten ✌🏼 🧡 swipe to see her sweet first day picture 🧡

today i am officially 400 days sober 🧡 I gave up drinking alcohol last april as part of the 75 hard challenge. when i was halfway through, i realized how happy i was without alcohol so i planned to continue with sobriety once the challenge was over. during my last weeks of 75 hard, i found out i was pregnant so i obviously continued to abstain from alcohol. today, Owen is 12 weeks old and I haven’t had any alcohol still! i don’t know if this is forever, but for now I am happy without alcohol. if you are sober curious, send me a dm. I would love to chat 🧡

claire turned s i x years old today 🧡 we had the best time celebrating her at her party last week surrounded by her best friends. we are so lucky she is ours 🧡
