I surprised Emma with matching pajamas and she was so so happy, first thing she said was: “Mami, take picture for Tati” - love her so much 🥰

Safe to say this has been the BEST play kitchen we’ve tried from Best Choice Products 🤍✨ Compared to other brands, the quality instantly stands out, it’s made from solid wood, feels sturdy, and looks so beautiful in our home with the timeless shaker cabinets, gold hardware, and modern design.

My daughter has been obsessed with the built-in microwave, espresso maker, and movable island with storage cubbies (plus the cutest towel rack 🥹). It keeps her entertained for hours while encouraging imaginative play, from cooking meals to making coffee for the whole family ☕️🍳

Definitely one of those toys that’s both functional and aesthetic; worth every penny for the quality and endless pretend play moments.

What you don’t always see from me… 🤍

The evening walks with my babies because I’m trying to bond with them better on the days they choose their siblings over me. The toys all over the house that somehow never stay picked up for more than 5 minutes. The workouts when I’m exhausted but still show up. The supplements, the small changes, the baby steps toward becoming the healthiest and strongest version of myself.

I’m not chasing perfection. I just want to be an active mom who can keep up with her kids, make memories with them, and feel good doing it. One day at a time. 🫶

Also… tell me your best advice for helping kids get along: from babies to tweens 😅 What’s worked in your home? And what’s been your biggest challenge in motherhood lately? PS: my neighbor’s tree looks and smells heavenly, yet I have no clue what type of tree it is.

No wonder it’s nice and quiet around here 🤣 my kids got tired of the cats fighting so this is what I find… problem solved! #cats #instagram @instagram #fypage #viral

Viral Walmart finds

What I mean when I say I’m “running errands”… spoiling my cats with the good stuff from @revealpetfood at @target 😆🐱🛒 Priorities, obviously.

Can’t stop laughing .. meanwhile I can’t decide on a caption so here’s all I came up with 😂 let me know you’re favorite one:

* The chickens didn’t stand a chance 😂🐓
* Free-range kids vs. free-range chickens 😆
* Farm security has officially been compromised 🐥🏃‍♀️
* Just a couple of tiny ranch hands causing chaos 🤠
* Homeschool P.E. = chasing chickens around the yard 😂
* The chickens filed a complaint after this one 🐔
* Country kids doing country kid things 🤍
* Catch me if you cannnn 🐓💨
* Raising babies and alarming chickens daily 😅
* The girls were fast… but the chickens were faster 😂
* Core memories and chicken chases 🤍
* Tiny feet, big energy, terrified chickens 😆 aaaand apologizing to our friends for their chickens being stressed out today 😅

This is what an 11 year gap looks like 🥰 they get along most of the time 😆 tell you what thou.. having littles in your 40s are so different, we love every minute of it!!

These two are completely inseparable and keep me on my toes 24/7 😂💛
Just a heads up… I’ll be returning everyone’s calls in about 20 years 😆✌🏻

A beautiful day spent at the park … #may

#notanad One thing I truly love about homeschooling is the freedom it gives our family. Learning in the sunshine, slow mornings, splash pad fun for the little ones, and making memories together along the way. Weekend fun is officially here ☀️📚💦

Chatting with my children, they asked me what it was like growing up in Romania and going to school there. The first thing that came to my mind was “the seven years at home.” 🏠

In Romania, that meant the lessons you learned from your family before the world ever taught you anything else. It wasn’t about perfect grades- it was about character, respect, and how you carry yourself.

We were taught:
• to respect elders
• to say “please” and “thank you” and always greet people properly
• to be polite and well-mannered
• to share and help others
• to speak respectfully
• to keep ourselves and our surroundings clean
• to show honesty, humility, and self-control

And if your mama didn’t teach you:
• always take your shoes off at the door
• never go to a party empty handed
• never show up unannounced
• offer food, coffee, and kindness first

…(and many more)…then people would say you didn’t have “the seven years at home.” 🇷🇴

As strict as some traditions felt growing up, I’m grateful for the values they planted in me. Now I find myself passing those same little lessons down to my own children.

Our Mother’s Day Tea Party was such a beautiful success 🌸✨ Filled with laughter, sweet moments, fellowship, and memories we’ll cherish forever.

One of the biggest highlights of the day was the KRUU Premium Photobooth- the perfect way to bring instant fun and energy to any celebration! Everyone loved taking photos, using the fun props, and leaving with printed memories they could take home right away 🤍

What made it even better? The setup took less than 5 minutes! So easy, stress-free, and completely customizable with different layouts, prints, and props to match your event style perfectly.

From tea parties and birthdays to weddings and family gatherings, KRUU truly makes every event unforgettable 🥰 @KruuOfficial

Even with the storms outside and allergies getting the best of me, motherhood still goes on. But today, I got to spend it in the house of the Lord surrounded by my people. Came home, enjoyed a good lunch, and the best part… I got to take a nap. 🥰 This is what I call a perfect day. #mothersday
