Today is her birthday. She's 13.
And I’m feeling all the feelings. 🥹💔✨

There was a time I thought I’d never sleep through the night again.
She was just a baby and glued to my hip. Then a very opinionated toddler who insisted I carry her everywhere — until I made a deal on her 5th birthday that she was a big girl and that I wouldn’t do it anymore…

…but every time she asked, I just kept picking her up.
Because I remember how soft her baby hair was.
How chubby her cheeks were.
The way she smelled like a baby — like lotion and heaven and home.

Every night she fell asleep with her head in my lap in a silent living room, her daddy carrying her to bed once she fell asleep. She would always find her way back in our room in the middle of the night though. We tried every type of sleep training imaginable and I used to wonder if I would ever have a minute to myself again.

Now? She’s off, driving around town with her brother, making plans without me. Having sleepovers that last entire weekends, going off to church camps, soccer camps, making new friends, and dreaming big dreams.

We don’t sing “Let It Go” anymore.
We don’t lay together at night.
I don’t carry her.
She doesn’t sneak into my bed at 2am.

But we do talk about life.
We talk about what she wants to be when she grows up.
We talk about feelings. Boyfriends. The real stuff.
And honestly? That part doesn’t suck.

She’s driven. She’s beautiful. She’s confident and free.
She’s everything I wish I could’ve been — and she’s my daughter.

And while it absolutely aches watching her grow up so fast…
I am so proud.
Proud of how strong she is.
How kind she is.
How determined she is to chase whatever lights her up inside.

Today, my momma heart is just sitting in awe.

So if you’re in the thick of it…
Or if you’ve blinked and your baby isn’t a baby anymore —

Take the trip. Make the memory. Forget the rest.
Not because it’s fancy. Not because it’s perfect.
But because the little moments are the ones you’ll miss the most.

💛 That’s it. That’s the post. Just a mom, feeling all of it today as her baby is officially a teen.

This message? It made my whole dang week!!

“You’ve made our travel in life zillion times easier.”

And that’s the goal every time — to take the chaos, the stress, the group chats that go silent... and turn it into just show up and enjoy it.

Mama, you’ve got enough on your plate. Let me handle the flights, the cabins, the questions, the drama.

Text me when you’re ready to escape. 📲💻
