Chamomile, rainbow nins, and pretty artwork. Just a few simple things making this rainy day a little bit brighter.

It’s been a hard week of teething for Sunnie (and mom 😅😓)so I’m just going to throw it back to @clearlakecountry and these little hands, dirty from exploring and discovering new parts of nature.

The lake water was still freezing but she still wanted in! Take us back to the beach, please ☀️

Cutest little swimmer at @staylakehouse 🐻❤️
(I’ve also added our bear encounter to a highlight for all those that missed it)

I honestly barely have words for how much I love these people of mine. The amount of joy Sunnie brings into our life is just... gah. I often say I knew we were missing out on a lot of joy during our infertility days but my mind and heart still had no idea of the joy that was coming, no matter how much I dreamed of it.
This time together at @staylakehouse @clearlakecountry has been so so good 🥰

The cutest little lunch date today at @staylakehouse while dad golfs.
She just sat on the couch and played with her toys 😂 is she even a real baby? Love her so much 🥰
Also, just had the best BLT of my life at @staylakehouse .
The garlic aioli took it to a new level 🤤

We hiked almost 11 kilometres today, half of which was uphill.
Cheers to my hubby who carried Sunnie all the way up and down 😅.
We’ve also seen 4 bears in 2 days (one of which was on our trail and we had to scare up a tree 😬. I’ll a post a video in my stories) @clearlakecountry is nothing but adventurous!

Thoroughly enjoying our family time at @staylakehouse (apart from Sunnie refusing to sleep in her playpen 🤦🏻‍♀️😴) Tired but grateful to be with my all time favourite people.

We leave on a little family vacay to @clearlakecountry @staylakehouse tomorrow and I should be packing all the things... yet here we are outside playing in the water... send motivation stat!

This spring with Sunnie has been SO fun! We spend the majority of our days outside playing and exploring or going for walks. We’re not inside a lot so quick, easy lunches and snacks are where it’s at! Sunnie had her first bread and olive oil today and LOVED it! Thanks to @bertolli_us I can trust that she’s getting great quality olive oil with antibacterial properties that’s great for her heart! I’m definitely adding this to the new spring snack rotation!

Spring finally feels really truly here! We’ve been busy planting flowers and plants, playing outside, eating a lot of snacks and thoroughly enjoying watching Sunnie experience spring for what seems like the first time!

A month or so ago we got to see Puukuluk Oon (birthmom) again, for the first time since Sunnie was born! It was so beautiful you guys, seeing Sunnie being all loved on and celebrated. Oon kept saying “I have zero regrets. She is with the perfect family for her” We oohed and awed over her and giggled and hugged and gave kuniks (kisses) and my heart was left raw from the beauty of it all.
Here’s to the woman who made me a mother. Thank you for loving baby Oon so much and making us the happiest we’ve ever been. Thank you for giving me motherhood. Sunnie is so lucky to have not one, but 2 Mothers! #adoptionislove

Anyone else have so many mixed emotions about Mother’s Day? For 5 years Mother’s Day was the worst day of the year, as we trudging through infertility and a failed adoption. The. Worst. Day.
And now I’m here, with the greatest gift of all time, my sweet Sunnie bear. I am beyond grateful for her and that our hard journey ended up with our rainbow baby... but honestly guys, my heart is still with the women and mothers whose arms are empty, whose hearts ache and yearn for that positive pregnancy test, the mothers who have lost children and would give anything to hold them again, to smell their smell and run their fingers through their hair.
If this is you, know I’m thinking of you, I see you, and I hope you do whatever you damn well like tomorrow to just survive the day. 💞💓💗

Getting ready to leap into the weekend, even if it’s cold and windy. I paired our @iralovesmae romper with leggings for these cooler days, but I’m soooo ready to see those baby thighs again!

Sweet cheek Saturday 🥰
