Thomas turned 2 years old yesterday and it’s in moments like these when you realize how fast time is going. Because time sped up when I became a mama and I don’t see it slowing down. With each milestone I beam with pride. But also think “can we press pause?” Because time slips by to quickly. It’s bittersweet. But I’m so grateful. For this year. For you, Thomas. For this day. But my sweet baby boy, please always know - whether you’re turning 2, or 92, you will always be my baby. #happybirthday #bekindtooneanother #momofthree #myhonestmotherhood #motherhoodunplugged . . . . . . . . . . . . #motherhood #motherhoodsimplified #dailyparenting #parenthood #motherhoodinspired #mymotherhood #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodunited #motherhoodmoments #motherhoodthroughig #thisismotherhood #momof3 #motherhoodinstyle #motherhoodlife #momlife #momentsinmotherhood #igmotherhood #unitedinmotherhood #momlifebelike #momlifestyle #Momstyle #Ootdinspo #ootdfashion #momtruth #parenting101

Hi! I know I haven’t been as consistent as I use to be, but I’m back! I’ve recently been uninspired and realized when I started this whole thing, I started as a new mom living in a new city and just wanted to connect with people. I grew organically and created a little community. But ever since IG changed their whole vibe and more and more bloggers are emerging, I realized my true passion is not finding products and fashion finds. My passion is being a mother, a wife, and being a performer. My whole life, from the time I can remember, I’ve been a singer and an actor. I had a big dream. And that dream was put on hold while I became a mama. So I refuse to allow my beautiful choice in getting married to the love of my life and having 3 kids close together at a young age, that I am no longer worthy of pursuing my dreams. I know I’m meant to entertain people and I still have a dream. So now that I’m a veteran mama, and I’m back by the city I love, I am going to be using this platform in a different way. I will still link what I’m wearing or what products I’m using and answer all your dms and, of course, I will continue to connect with other mamas on this platform and continue to share my motherhood journey. But a lot has shifted in the past few months, and you will see that in my work moving forward. ✌🏻😊✨ Oh... and I left a little warm up vocal video for your enjoyment if you swipe all the way left. 🤓 Practicing You and I original version by the Queen @ladygaga Whole version will be on my IG TV this week. 🎤 #dreambig #chaseyourdreams #nevergiveup #musician #singer #actor #momof3 . . . . . . . . . . #dreambigorgohome #musicians #vocals #singersongwriter #livemusic #musiciansofinstagram #familymusicians #sing #musicvideo #artist #live #musicstudio #song #love #instagood #vocalist #instasing #lifeofanactor #selftape #actinglife #nycactor #actress #youngmom

My everything. 🥰❤️😍 So fun fact - my husband and I were set up on a blind date! 😳🙈🥂 It was 11 years ago so this was before Tinder and Hinge and whatever dating apps existed. We did it the old school way... when blind dates weren’t that cool. His aunt and my mom had the idea of setting us up because I took a year off from college to pursue music in NYC and I was miserable living at home while all my friends went back to college. I felt lonely! As the story goes, my mom saw his aunt at the gym and they were chatting about my situation (aka my mom was venting about how crazy I was making her 🤣) and Tom’s aunt had the brilliant idea of introducing me and her nephew because he lived in NYC (where I was performing and recording) and thought it would be a fun way for me to meet new people, and for Tom to be a gentleman and show me around the city. So with a little persuasion, I agreed to meet him. WELL on my way into grand central to meet Tom, I had a major freak out on the train! Like I was frantically texting my mom and friends “What am I doing? Why am I doing this? I don’t need to be set up... this is so embarrassing!! What if he’s weird or this is awkward?! I’m turning around!!!” Somewhere btw Larchmont and Harlem, my 19 year old self decided once I got into grand central, I was going to just take the next train right back home. So when the train arrived, I walked right over to the train schedules. As I was looking for the next train, I saw this hot guy in my peripheral staring at me. I looked his way and it was Tom! We both knew what each other looked like because of good ol’ Facebook. Since he caught my eye and waved, I knew I couldn’t just run 🤣 so I walked up to him and gave him a big awkward hug. He made a joke and I laughed and I just had a really good feeling so decided to go through with the date. Afterwards (the date itself is another fun story for another time), he dropped me back off at Grand Central and I called my mom. She was asleep and was caught off guard cause it was late so she frantically answered the phone and said “what happened?! Are you ok?!” I responded in this gitty voice, “I just met the man I’m going to marry.” ❤️ #soulmates #lovestory
