Comparison is the thief of joy. I’ve spent too m Comparison is the thief of joy. I’ve spent too much time this past year comparing my life to others highlight reels. It’s been such a hard year for me living abroad, in and out of quarantine, juggling 3 babies, missing my family. This adventure is nothing like we pictured but that’s ok. Sometimes life has a way of working out the way it was meant to be. This year I’m focusing on a few goals for myself... 

** travel more. Even though we can’t leave Hong Kong, there is still so much here to see and do. Looking forward to more family adventures this year and sharing more of our day to day on IG

** workout. Getting back into shape will make me feel better and be a better version of myself mentally for my babies. Also drink lots more water. 

** live in the present. I’ve spent too much time worrying about when life will return to normal and planning for the future that I haven’t enjoyed living in the moment as much as I should be 

** post regularly. I realized it’s ok to spend a little time for myself on my phone each day for my own sanity. Being home alone with 3 littles is hard and having a little “me time” is important. Looking forward to sharing more of our time abroad and growing my blog this year 

What are your goals for the new year? http://liketk.it/35Ui8 @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKNewYear #LTKstyletip #LTKunder50

We were supposed to be flying back to the US this week to spend the holidays with family but due to covid restrictions we are staying in Hong Kong this year. I’ve been feeling so sad about it for weeks. This time of year is always tough living away from family but this year is especially hard since we haven’t been able to fly home in a year. At least we have sweet baby Weston to celebrate this year! Christmas with 3 littles will be magical ❤️ http://liketk.it/345ah #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKbaby

What a year this has been. Picking up and moving t What a year this has been. Picking up and moving to a new country, having a 3rd baby, dealing with a world pandemic. It’s not at all what we planned when we decided to move to Hong Kong. We thought we’d be traveling around and really experiencing Asia. We’ve had to cancel so many trips this year including our trip back to the US for Christmas to visit family and it makes me so sad. I’ve been homesick for months and so ready to travel again. Where do you want to travel to when you can? We’re trying to visit Japan, Thailand, and Singapore and I can’t wait to make it back to Paris one day.  #wanderlust #traveltheworld

To my beautiful daughter on her very first birthday….

November 16, 2017 LIFESTYLE

To my beautiful daughter on her very first birthday,

The day you were born was the best day of my entire life. It was so surreal and I’ll never forget seeing you for the first time. It was love at first sight. You were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life. It’s still hard to believe you are really mine forever. I never knew it was possible to love someone so much! You were the answer to all my prayers.

We both learned so much this year. It was a year of firsts for us both and memories that will stay with me forever. With each new milestone our bond grew even deeper.

You learned to love tummy time even though you hated it for so long. One day you learned to pick your head up and roll over all by yourself. I learned just how strong you really were.

You learned to laugh and it was the most beautiful sound in the world. You always loved to laugh and smile. You were such a happy baby. I learned that your laughter could make even the toughest days fun!

You learned to sit up all my yourself and I realized you would not stay a baby forever. You were so independent and I was so proud of you!

You learned to crawl and boy were you fast! You loved to chase after your kitty sisters and play with your little pink car. I learned just how determined you were to do things on your own.

You learned to wave and loved to wave hi and bye to everyone, especially your Daddy. I learned how you could make someone else’s whole day just by seeing your little smile or hearing your laughter. You were so much fun to take grocery shopping.

You learned to stand up all by yourself and walk with your little walker and I learned to let you go my sweet girl.

You took your first steps all my yourself! You had the biggest smile on your face and you were so proud of yourself! I learned how, in the blink of an eye, a whole year could fly by. Suddenly my baby was no longer a baby.

Of all the things you learned in your first year you taught me so much more that you’ll ever know. I learned what it really meant to be a mommy and love someone unconditionally. I loved seeing the world through your eyes and being there to see everything! I cherished every day we spent together. We read books, sang songs, went on walks and played with your toys all day long.

I missed you when you would lay down for your naps or go to bed at night even though we spent all day together. It was never enough. Sometimes I would watch you sleep and think how lucky I was to be blessed with such a little angel. I couldn’t wait to see your smiling little face when you would wake up. You always woke up so happy and you were so excited to see me too.

I wish I could freeze time and keep you as my little baby girl forever. But since that’s not possible I will continue to cherish our days together and will love watching you grow year after year. Thank you for all the love, the laughter and the pure joy you’ve brought to our lives. Happiest first birthday my sweet baby doll! I love you more than life itself!

Love always,

Mommy
