I've been a mom for a decade, learning and growing through every milestone, from newborn to planning the perfect birthday party for my 10-year-old.
My beautiful, kind, smart, and creative miracle baby just turned 10! Reflecting on the past decade, I’m amazed by how much we’ve both grown. As moms, we learn and adapt as we go, just like our kids do. I’m beyond grateful for the person she’s becoming and so thankful for her health—something I think about every day. I am the mom I am today because of her, my incredible husband, supportive parents, wonderful friends, and this amazing community. It truly takes a village!
A big thank you to my McKenzie Marie, our Cheeto Burrito, for being the inspiration behind How2Mom. She’s changed my life in so many ways.
Even though we’ve been busy this summer, we couldn’t miss the chance to celebrate our girl and this milestone birthday! With the help of some fantastic local businesses, we hosted an epic birthday party sleepover!
