When you have 5 babies in 7 years 🤪🤗❤️❤️

We had our first baby in the fall of 2015 and our fifth baby in the fall of 2022! 

To think just a few summers ago it was JUST Tim and I hurts my brain a bit 😂 Does it make me sad like the song asks? Absolutely not! In fact I don’t even remember much of my life before I became a mom.

Some may think that’s sad. Some may say I have lost my identity in motherhood, but I say it’s been quite the opposite for me. I have found myself through this journey. 🤗❤️

Do not get me wrong, I had a hard time grieving my old self after my first and even after my second. But it’s all part of the process. By becoming mothers we don’t lose who we are. Rather, it allows us to shed the parts of ourselves that no longer serve us ❤️

What did summer look like for you 7 summer ago??
