Coming up on five months with Brave. He’s the chillest little guy ever who never fails to wake up at 5am. 👏🏼❤️

In less than a month, this dude @dannycasler will be rocking the stage with his buddies @nationalproductofficial as the openers for one of my all-time favorite bands ever. @thrice will be playing at @jointherepublik in September, and NP will be doing one of their first ever legit reunion shows. It’s been over a decade since their album LUNA was released. And to be honest, I’ve only seen my husband perform twice with NP in all the years I’ve known of his existence. The first time was when I went to see and photograph RJA at Pipeline (I was in my late teens), and they happen to be opening back in who knows when —when his eyeliner was prime and his jeans were super skinny. And the second time was on our wedding day in 2016. So, the fact that they are opening for a band that him and I both love and respect is just the stars aligning and tbh we can’t wait; it’s going to be epic. So, if you don’t know, now you know. And if you have no idea what kind of music NP has written in the past, just hop onto Spotify and search “National Product”. Listen to “Love Me”, their song that made the billboard charts. And then call @star1019hawaii and request them to play it every single day from today on 🤭!!! P.S. This photo was taken yesterday while we toured the Coppola Winery. And that’s Danny wearing his new favorite shirt. 🖤 x

I’m still stumbling trying to keep up with everyone. But one day, I’ll get it right. And after that day, I’m going to show my babies that THIS is how we run with horses. THIS is how you get a seat at the head of the table. You work hard, you persevere, and you run with your heart and never your mind. ❤️🙏🏼 #jeremiah || P.S. Changing diapers at 2am puts me back in my place.

What matters most was that daddy @dannycasler took such good care of her as we rushed her to the ER from a horrible head gash. He cried. She cried. I silently lost my mind. Though, I truly believed she was going to be ok being that we live only 5 minutes from the hospital. Her daddy stayed with her while I rushed back home with our son, Brave, to get her favorite blanket and paci, the only two things (aside from her dolls) that would most certainly calm her down. Her dad never left her side. I look at these pictures & thank God it wasn’t worse. Because it really could have been worse. An ER visit will cause you to think of all the ways it could have been worse.

Our daughter was in good hands when we arrived at the ER. She showed us how brave she was. We told her she was doing a good job with the nurses, & in response, she would tell us “job” with her tiny hand up *high five*. She could barely stop crying though, more afraid & scared of being in an unfamiliar room with unfamiliar faces. We swaddled her in a blanket & daddy held her tight while the nurse cleaned her injury. Jules kept crying, saying “pau”, hoping it would be over soon. When she got numbing cream injected, she cried even louder, but continued to say “job”. She cried for me, “mommy”, and “daddy”; and we were right there to remind her of how good of a job she was doing. She said over & over, “Job!”, which let us know she was hanging In there as best as she could. And finally, she began to grow tired, her cry settling into a big sigh, until she closed her eyes while daddy took her blanket and used it to calm her. He gently brushed her little eyelids and the bridge of her nose with the corner of her blanket. She fell asleep in her swaddle while getting stitches till it was all done. She woke up as we un-swaddled her and told her “all pau, YOU DID GOOD.” She gave us high fives *job* and said “Bye bye! Outside...” (as in, “let’s get outta here”) We got home & she got to eat a chocolate bar at 1am, watch her favorite *cocomelon* songs, & dance with the biggest smile on her face before bedtime. Our baby girl is our little soldier. So proud of her. And so in love with her. x

#parenthood

I feel like my son {Bravey} right now *is this ever gonna end* 🤦🏻‍♀️ Still working... two phones in my hand while I sit in front of my computer; texting, DM’ing, emailing... over 400+ tattoo artists for the show this August ⚡️ it’s going to be another show filled with EPIC talent. *😍* I love me some good art, and I’m seriously contemplating getting my kids names tattooed on me this year (@ dad, pretend like you didn’t just read that.) I need coffee. Legit REAL coffee ☕️ and some good songs to keep me fueled all night. Thank you LORD for music and coffee, as well as for grandparents who take our kids overnight so we can get work done. 🙏🏼 Amen.

I didn’t take any newborn photos of Brave. And I probably should have, but to be honest, the first two months felt like a blur. Only now am I feeling a little better about the idea of having kids so close apart in age. Julyiana is shown to be very nurturing to Brave. I was home with our kids today, and it was an easier day than most. God has been on my mind lately, and because of it, I’m starting to feel more like myself and less like a zombie mama. Hello Jayms, there you are. x

Boy Brave at 2 1/2 months. Teaching me how to breathe and have more patience for the things we can’t control. x
