Accurate. 😂😂😂Hello June....yeah I know it’s December. But this video is our 1SE for June. And i just got around to making it this week. I was feeling badly I had neglected to organize myself and do the videos monthly. And then I sat here for several hours and did Jan - July and it was the best gift I could have given myself. As December was creeping along I was feeling melancholy that I couldn’t really think of anything positive that had gone on this year. Nothing bad either. Just kind of a blah year. It had its ups and it’s down: its gains and losses, like any year. But as I scrolled through 6 months of pictures and video I saw a mommy who got to spend all her time with her sweet little girl and a little girl who got to do so many fun things and had a year of exploration and of growth from baby to toddler. As a nanny I never needed anyone to tell me I was doing a good job, I could see it in the children I watched. Their growth. Their achievements. Their love returned to me. But as a mommy, it’s different. There is no one to reassure you. No one to tell you you’re doing a good job. And sometimes it’s hard to remember that this IS my work. The hardest and most rewarding job of my life. Being Sloane’s mommy. 💜🦄 #Sloaneleah #thisis3 #sloanesmommy #2019rocked #whatayear**T O P N I N E** Twenty Nineteen has been an interesting year. A year of growth. A year of many lessons learned. A change in perspective and priorities. These Top 9 could not better represent how 2019 went. A year of growth and change for me, both physically, emotionally and mentally. I was stretched out of my comfort zone more than I ever thought possible. And survived. Some might even say thrived. Mommy of a baby was easy for me. Mommy of a feisty, smart, strong willed, overly verbal and sensitive toddler is a whole different ball game. . . I love this girl with all my heart and soul and this year has brought so much growth and change for us both. Sloane started school! And we began our year of costumes and dress up play every single day. The best part, sometimes it was Cinderella and other times it’s her favorite Green Dinosaur costume. I love her sense of style and wanting to be funny. Her independence while hard to parent, makes me proud. . . I had to say goodbye to my baby but I’ve gotten to know my little girl who’s one hell of a human being. I waited a long, long time for her, and she’s here, and she’s fierce, and she’s loving and compassionate and tells you she loves you ALL ON HER OWN. I still pinch myself daily. 💜🦄 If you’re still waiting, I promise you that someday your happily ever after will come. I see you. You are not alone. Be patient. Be kind to yourself. #top9of2019 #sloaneleah #mydreamcometrue #2019 #twentynineteen #theschwartzfamilyadventures #thisis3 #sloaneandmommy #thebestthingihaveverdonePreach 🙌🏻My little rebel.

Could not find a picture of me alone from 2009, I tried! 😂 Swipe —-> 2009 - with an almost 2.5 year old Calen 💚 and a non iPhone selfie! 2019 - with an almost 3.5 year old Sloane 💜🦄 Could not love these two more. Calen opened my heart and eyes and helped me become the mommy I am today. #nannylifemeetsmomlife #34to44forme #getsbetterwithtime #likeawine #calenz #sloaneleah #likebookendsArchives

goodbye 2012…..hello 2013.
As you may or may not know, I don’t believe in resolutions. I feel that they’re forced on us by the media and our society and they don’t work. REAL resolutions come from within. It’s that September day you look … Continue reading
