And also, get yourself to the pop up over on Plum Island ASAP, right near the main entrance. I got the island gal smoothie and it was beyond amazing. I can’t wait to go back over and over again this summer. ☀️Thanks for sharing about it!
This year we found a new spot to get our veggies and flowers: Anything Grows in Salisbury, MA. A certified organic, no-till market garden and plant nursery. We went this past weekend and had fun picking out our garden vegetables and herbs (we didn’t do our seedlings this year, because LIFE, amirite?) and flowers for our pots we put out on our deck. 🌸 The owners Maura and Rijk were so lovely and super helpful and they had a ton in stock. Highly recommend you checking them out!
📍: 30 Elmwood Street Salisbury, MA
🕥: Farm stand open daily 10am-7pm self service cash or Venmo (stocked with seasonal produce, eggs, and flowers). Plant nursery Mon-Fri 10am-6pm, Sat-Sun 10am-4pm.
And shout out to the amazing who built our garden beds! She is so knowledgeable and talented. She’s working on one more bed for us now and we can’t wait to expand the garden! 🪴🌱
that having three kids requires
splitting my heart into thirds
and letting the pieces roam around
in three different directions—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me
that these three beings
would have three big needs—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me
that each big need would require
a high level of attention, focus,
love, care, understanding,
empathy, and action—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me
they won’t do it on purpose,
need all of me at once.
Life will just happen that way.
And it won’t stop me from
helping them—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me that three kids
would drain me and fill me up—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me three kids would
exhaust me and energize me—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me that I could hold
it all for all three—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me I could be
strong and meek,
sure and unsure,
confident and insecure,
content and anxious,
brave and nervous—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me I could
have no clue what I’m doing
but that I could try my best
to figure it out—
AT THE SAME TIME.
No one told me I could be love and fear—
AT THE SAME TIME.
♥️
I wanted to get away.
I wanted to celebrate.
I wanted to feel warmth.
I wanted a change of scenery.
I wanted to be with my husband & kids.
I decided to add in some fun at Disney because… why not?
Disney with kids ages 12, 10, and 8 was a dream!
I know that I couldn’t do this journey alone. I’m so grateful for the moms I go to. The ones who will tell me I’m doing a good job while I cry. The ones I can text or call right away with an emergency or when I screw up. The ones who love my kids like their own. The ones who accept and celebrate my kids—with all their individual quirks and unique ways—just as they are. The ones who carpool, who check in, who show up.
I’d be lost without all the other moms surrounding me. Happy Mother’s Day to you all! ♥️
And it’s not that I wanna keep my kids small, or go back in time—I love where we’re at!—it’s just that I want it to slow down.
Everything is always speeding.
I just want it to slow down.
Is that so much to ask??
I want to be able to process one experience before we dive into the next.
I want to be able to sit down at the table and eat dinner together without having to rush off to a drop off or pick up.
I want to be able to feel like I can take a deep breath in between tasks.
I want to be able to settle my mind instead of it constantly replaying the ten things I’m trying to remember at once.
I want to *just* make breakfast, or *just* fill out that form, or *just* answer that person’s question via text, or *just* help with homework—not make breakfast while filling out the form as I offer hw support and text them back.
I want to be able to feel free instead of handcuffed to a schedule.
I want to feel zero pressure about signing up for another damn thing.
I want to be able to be bored together, go at a leisurely pace, take a beat, do something on a whim. I want to NOT RUSH. I want to take a slow walk, a long drive, an off-routine adventure.
I want to look at the clock and think, “oh, we have some time” instead of “shit, we’re late, let’s go.”
But I guess the point is, we do have time, and we don’t have time. We have time now because we’re here. Living, breathing, with beating hearts in our chest. But we don’t know how much that is. So, this is my reminder to myself—if I want time to slow down, I have to find a way to make it. I have to find a way to live more intentionally or to make room for moments of peace and calm.
I don’t know how to do it, but I’m gonna try to figure it out. Will report back.
(I will say—pretending you’re a kid again at Disney with your kids is a great off-routine FUN adventure to be had!)
Thank you, for arranging this and for the rest of my siblings for making this amazing meal happen! A dinner with you would have been fabulous in and of itself, Meg, but Mar and H were the cherries on top!
Last few days in my 30’s. Friday, I take on 40! Ready to celebrate! 🎉⭐️
