She’s my whole 🌎. #sloaneleah #thisis3 #dinosaurdays #shabbatiscoming #momlife #toddlerlife #lifewithsloanewordi don’t know how to do this post without being sappy and annoying so bare with me with friends. i waited 40 years to have a baby of my own. i babysat, i taught, i tutored, i played with every baby in every place i ever was. then i became a nanny. and my heart was stolen. by 3 children who i love and they love me back. they taught me so much.// sometimes we know why our journey takes us where it does, but sometimes we don’t. i know, i am the mommy i am because of calen, leah & brady.// i watched them and saw how fast it went. calen is 12 now. it fucking flew by. and here i am. with my one and only baby of my own looking at her then and now and i’m aghast. i grew this human. my body brought her to this earth. she is here because of me. i can’t believe it still. i don’t know that i ever will. i longed for this child for so long, and i have not wasted a minute. she is the light of my life. she is the reason i want to be stronger, smarter and tougher. she motivates me daily, just by being here. //sloane leah schwartz, you are a force to be reckoned with. a tough cookie. and you have a heart of gold and a soul of compassion. don’t ever change who you are. you aren’t my little baby anymore......but you’ll always BE my baby. 💜🦄 #firstdayofmonmyandme #flashback #sloanerewind #sloanesfiratdayoflreschoollastmonth #twoyearsapart #mybaby #mytoddler #mommylife #nannylife #sloaneleah #sloaneandmommy #sloanesmommyIt’s unfathomable to even say, but 18 years ago tonight we were all going about our usual routines, getting ready for “tomorrow”, completely unaware that when we awoke the next day our lives would be changed forever. I was 26 years old, and it seemed like the last of my childhood was gone in those moments. As the towers crumbled so did my innocence and beliefs that “everything would be okay”. Like so many of you I have been forever changed since 09.11.01. It’s unbelievable to me how long it’s been......yet it all seems like just yesterday our world changed forever as we saw the towers fall. 💔 #neverforget #911 #18years #agenerationhasgoneby #standtogether #rememberallofthoselostthatday #ihateourworld #weneedchangenow #thingsonlygotworseWord.Today started week four and loving school more every single day that she’s there! Her development and growth in such a short time is amazing. I love this girl more every day and am so proud of the little big girl she is becoming. #sloaneleah #sloanestyle #benchpics2019 #ourvillage #preschoollife #toddlerlife #lifewithatoddler #sloanesmommy #lifewithsloane #september2019Archives
