  • I don’t think there’s been a moment since her birth, that I haven’t thought, “you have no idea how lucky you are” when seeing them together. Wallis is truly unconditionally loved by her dad - his love for her is kind, open, soft and giving. He would rather be present than climb a ladder, to him being with her now is the most important job he has. - Everyday he shows his love for her, not just towards her, but also through the way he loves me. She will have such confidence in herself because of this and oh how grateful I am to experience it 💙#wednesdayswithwallis #happyfathersday #29monthsold #fatherdaughter
  • I was wondering do any of you have this super power, that if there’s a passive aggressive comment in the room you’re going to be the one that catches it? Like 100% minding your own business and bam, there it is. 😂 - Well that’s mine and I’m pretty sure I inherited it from my mom. There’s just something about us that really bothers some people (most?). We still laugh about how my mom would drive past this guy everyday on her drive to work and he’d be standing on his front lawn giving the finger to all the cars passing by, but when it was her turn to pass him, he’d give her double birds. That’s basically our walk with life. 😅 - Seriously it seems to annoy some people (and a decent amount of my husband’s family 😒) that I love our house, that I love our kid, our dogs...you name it, and I get a slingshot of rude comments about it. I don’t even talk about the things I listed above to anyone, I’m a private person and rarely share in person but it 👏🏼 doesn’t 👏🏼 matter 👏🏼 because that’s another thing that bothers them! - I’m telling you it’s my super power...so if you’ve ever watched gripping pain fall over a friend’s face as they struggle to pay you a compliment, then you too might have this super power...and hopefully you handle it with the same amount of ice cream as I do. 😉👩‍🎤👩‍🎤👩‍🎤👩‍🎤👩‍🎤👩‍🎤 #thisigrow #flowerstagram #countrygarden #flowergardening #gardenflowers #inmygarden #flowergarden #howdoesyourgardengrow #farmhouse #thisoldhouse
  • I can not begin to explain how insane last week was or how low it had me...our car broke down, Pierre was vomiting randomly every other day (worrying me terribly but all his blood work came back perfect) and Wallis has lost her mind when it comes to diapers/pull-ups. She hates them and wants to be changed out of them every 15 mins. - It got so bad I finally took her to urgent care over the weekend just to make sure she didn’t have some kind of bladder infection. She doesn’t. - When it comes to using the potty, I have let her totally lead. She has been using the potty since 18 months but only at bath time. I bought some underwear last week hoping it might solve diaper-gate. She wore them for 1 day, told us when she had to go, and had zero accidents. I was amazed like this fool just trained herself. BUT then she switched modes and is now refusing to wear them too...so it’s like, I’m stuck in Wallis’ fierce will to not accept change and I have no idea what to do. I’m seriously mentally shattered, the week was so intense. - Today was a little better but so far the last month has been nothing but rain and drama - my anxiety has anxiety...just incase you were wondering, ha. 😓😬 #thisigrow #parentingishard #flowerstagram #countrygarden #flowergardening #inmygarden #gardenflowers #wisteria #imsweatinallthestuff
  • Wallis has been early with everything and for the last month I have felt like the winds had changed yet again and we might be heading into those threes everyone talks about...but I’m going to call it today and say, yep we’re there and she’s not even 2.5 yet, but almost. - Of course there’s been plenty of little meltdowns over the last 2 years to prepare us but this, this is different. This is fist clutched pointed to the sky big scream turning red in a matter of seconds. Her emotions swing from elation to Satan before I can even figure out what happened. - Of course there are things that contribute like tiredness and hunger but mostly these are just really big feelings and at the end she gives us hugs. I’m doing my best to stay patient, calm, and reassuring but a few times I’ve had to leave the room, the flames knocking at my own temper. - Today when she kept saying, “I can’t do it” while actually opening the dog gate she was claiming she couldn’t open and thus flipping out over her ability to in fact “do it” OR when she wanted her diaper changed while standing on one leg wearing my high heels OR when her dad cleaned the car...because she wanted it left dirty. Absurd is the word these days and I’m just trying to keep up. I get it though, I really do and I love her for it, through it, forever amen. - But also, here’s to pretty flowers that give more than they get, because I could use more of that today. ❤️ #thisigrow #motherhood #parenthood #countrygarden #flowergardening #gardenflowers #flowergarden #peonies #howdoesyourgardengrow #flowerstagram
  • As a mom it feels like I am the sole communicator...and the moment I sit down is always the exact moment there’s a meltdown or a dog vomit etc etc etc...so I’m just hiding in the closet right now looking at this picture. 😓😉 #thisigrow #motherhood #flowergardening #countrygarden #gardenflowers #inmygarden #peonies #flowergarden #howdoesyourgardengrow
  • Flower garden lesson 2: MAINTENANCE will actually be most of the work you do and you will never not be weeding. - Today I spent an hour just deadheading peonies, that’s not even a hard task, the hardest part was carefully wedging myself into gigantic hydrangeas to dig out mini and incredibly strong walnut trees that the squirrels so graciously plant every fall. I don’t think there’s a tree that wants to grow as much as the walnut tree, unfortunately it’s poisonous to a lot of gorgeous flowers. - I guarantee if there’s ever a nuclear war, yes cockroaches will most likely survive...but so will the walnut tree. 🙄😒😉 #thisigrow #flowergardening #countrygarden #bhg #dsfloral #flowergarden #inmygarden #howdoesyourgardengrow #peonies #gardenflowers
  • This continues to be my most treasured peony, I love it so...the soft yellow never disappoints. 💛 #thisigrow #inmygarden #howdoesyourgardengrow #countrygarden #flowergardening #flowergarden #peonies
  • Flower garden lesson one - expect loss. This might be the last year for these beauties...with all the rain and high humidity I think I’m experiencing some soft rot, I can detect no other issue. I am working to remedy the problem but I am also prepared if it doesn’t work. - I’ve never had any Iris issues before, so this is a learning experience for me as well. When I first started gardening I would have been obsessed with trying to fix the issue, and save it...now days I make my peace with what will come, knowing I can start again. - You can do the best you can and still lose, especially when it comes to Mother Nature. These ladies gave me four absolutely stunning years, and though I am sad, I am also so grateful to have witnessed it. 💜🤞🏼#thisigrow #gardenissues #flowergardening #flowergarden #countrygarden #inmygarden #mygarden #mygardenflowers #iris
  • Some times I feel kind of foolish for posting a lot of pictures of my garden flowers...but then I remember how people use this app to post the exact same image of their kitchens like 75 times...soooo here’s another peony beauty! 😉💃☁️☁️☁️ #thisigrow #countrygarden #flowergardening #gardenflowers #inmygarden #peonies
  • The season looked so promising until it didn’t stop raining for 2 weeks straight, hard rain and even some hail. - My poor peonies and irises were hit the hardest, so I am savoring what I can. - Bumblebees are truly the bulldogs of the insect world....chubby, clumsy and only aggressive when food is involved. So of course I love them. 🐝💕 #thisigrow #countrygarden #peonies #flowergarden #inmygarden #flowergardening #gardenflowers
  • This is just a small glimpse, but I have been gardening for 6 years now. I don’t consider myself an expert, or anything really...only someone that truly loves to garden. - My garden is not exotic, you could find a lot of what I grow at a local nursery...but my house is old, very old and I wanted my flower garden to feel as though it was an extension of that, of those layered memories - not a wispy idea of current trends. - I’ve done all the work myself with the occasional extra muscle from my husband. My garden is undefined, defined, messy, romantic and forever in progress. I love it. - I think about leaving our house sometimes because I do tire of all the projects eating allllll of our funds...but I have no idea how I’ll ever leave my garden. I do know, I could never come back if I did. 🍇#thisigrow #wisteria #lilies #inmygarden #countrygarden #flowergarden #flowergardening #bhgflowers #oldfarmhouse #oldhome
  • Today Wallis told her dad that after they were done playing, she would like to spend alone time with mama but then she gave him a long hug, seemingly aware that her honesty might hurt his feelings (even though he did not act that way). - Her sensitivity and observations are beyond her years, and every day that I spend with her I am reminded of what pure joy truly is, and how I too, use to love and give unconditionally. I want to be just like her. ✨✨ #wednesdayswithwallis #cameramama #flashesofdelight #28monthsold #momentsofmine
