Remembering when she was this little 💕 But the arm rolls and smile on the second photo are the best too.

“Happiness is not a station to arrive at but a manner of traveling” - Margaret Lee Runbeck

Sometimes life at home with three young kids can be a little crazy. And in those moments when I feel like I need to escape, I try to remember to soak it in instead. I sit there and look around at what’s going on - whether it’s Rowan sweetly singing to Jules or Conor climbing on the counter looking for hidden treasures or Jules screaming because... well why not? 🤣 I look around and try to think about all the things I know I’m going to miss later. Too many times I wish the time away planning for the next step or preparing for the next thing. And the next thing is good, but I want to be present here, now.

My current work in progress. So happy to be painting 💕Also, loving my new @davincipaints brushes.

Just painting this afternoon while the babies nap and Rowan plays outside. 🙌🏻 It’s been quite a long time since I’ve really been truly present here on IG. I’ve struggled for a while now with knowing what to say and feeling like I couldn’t be real with y’all because I was in such a dark place. And I didn’t want my IG to just be sad thoughts. But I wanted to be real.

As many of you know, after each of my babies I’ve suffered with postpartum depression. But with my sweet Jules, it has been the longest and at times the darkest of them all. And while I desperately wanted to share where I was, the desire to hide from the world was stronger. This time was different than after my boys. It was more deceptive and persistent. I knew somewhere deep down that I loved my family. I knew that God was with me somewhere in all of it. But my mind felt chaotic and I couldn’t logically talk myself out of anything. I felt a deep despair that I couldn’t control. Every day at the same time it was as if I was being forced onto a roller coaster that I couldn’t get off.

I share this for a few reasons. I want you all to know where I’ve been hiding. And I also want anyone who is going through a similar thing to know you are not alone. Please talk to someone about how you are feeling. Message me if you don’t have anyone you can open up to. It took me longer than it should have to get the help I needed because I was afraid if I opened up about it that I would lose any resemblance of control I had over it and I would spiral. But that didn’t happen. What did happen when I opened up was that my fears and feelings were said out loud. And someone else was able to shed truth on them. And they were able to help me talk through where I was and determine if I needed professional help or if I was going to be okay. Which at that point I was so numb to reality that had no clue how bad it had become.

I’m excited to start being present on here again. I’m starting to feeling a little more like myself every day and I’ve been painting and drawing and working on an exciting project that I can’t wait to show you all! 💕I hope you all are enjoying this sunshine today. Thanks for listening to my heart.
