Sushi Lovers

They made me buy Sprouts sushi for a night at grandads over spring break. 

MY PHONE DIED :(

Lost 8 months of photos, videos and messages, which is a lot of life for a 2 year old Darcy 😣 So glad I uploaded a few on FB, from birthdays and such. If I've sent you ANY pictures by text since August, PLEASE text them back to me. In the meantime, I'll be over here crying in my coffee and setting up my 'new' but old phone. #eraseandfactoryreset #whhhhyyyyyy

March for Our Lives

Rarely political in public, I did attend this march to help the Parkland kids in their fight against gun violence. 

Abigail Turns 11

If you know me well, then you know that I have made every single cake for every single birthday for these daughters of mine. I can tell you the theme of each party from memory, and that's a LOT of birthdays (filed under 'pointless crap to remember' I suppose). The cake is a big part of the memory for both them and me. Some of them have been impressive, others not so much, but it doesn't matter.

So I'm still mad at my phone, we have NOT made up yet. 😡 Abigails 11th birthday is the first one I have NO photos of. She had a "slime-time sleepover" where the girls made different slimes for a couple of hours, devoured 2 huge pizzas, exchanged and evaluated squishies, and stayed up giggling about boys until midnight. The cake was kind of a disaster but since the theme was slime it looked intentional. 😆

 THIS IS 11. Buckle up: preteen girls are a roller coaster!

Abigail's First Concert

When DJ Khaled upgrades you to floor seats bc you're the most excited 10yr olds at the concert and one of you even made a Demi Lovato dress 

Abigail Brag

Time to play annoying bragging parent! I'm just SO proud of this one 😁 She hit Top of the Canyon (all A's) for the 2nd time, an award she 'fought for' by taking her work back to the teacher and pointing out that she DID actually use onomatopoeia, where they had graded it missing. Then her artwork got chosen for the PV Arts Festival (if you're at the mall, check it out), she also played viola in the same festival yesterday, she sang on stage at the Variety Show again, alone, and THEN she hit 1 million word reader!

This kid is amazing, and the best part about all this is that she doesn't really care. What I mean is that she doesn't pressure herself, and that is such a relief to a parent. I don't want a 10yr old stressed out, over worked, or one that thinks only her grades make who she is. That is really common with high achievers. Instead, she tries her best, isn't a sore loser when it doesn't work out, and lets herself be a kid. A pretty brilliant kid!

Tonight I'm taking her to the Demi Lovato concert with her friends, she's currently in her room ripping her jeans so she can perfect her look. She's an all-rounder, a loving big sister, and I'm lucky to call her mine 😍 #abigailrae
