Snuggled up with my little guy, soaking in these last sweet hours before his special day.

My eyes brim with tears as I quietly tell him a story he’s too young to understand. I whisper memories from those first precious moments before everything changed—before nothing else in the world mattered.

How my water broke at Nana and Grandpa’s, and through a mix of hysterical laughter and nerves, we somehow made it to the hospital—but not without hours of detour because I procrastinated packing a bag, had to say goodbye to the dogs, order takeout, and stop to have someone braid my hair.

He’ll grow up hearing the story of how he scared us in those first few days (and weeks), but also how he showed us what we’ve always believed: that from his very first breath, he’s been brave, strong, and mighty.

He’ll know about the people who loved him fiercely—who showed up, prayed over him, checked in, held him close in the NICU, and stood by us through the wild, beautiful storm of that first year.

Most importantly, he’ll come to understand just how perfectly and wonderfully he was made by his Creator.

Someday, he’ll grasp the full story—how tiny miracles unfolded at every turn, from the very beginning through every chapter since.

But for now, these quiet snuggles, memory-laced flashbacks, and sweet little giggles are more than enough.

What an unspeakable joy it is to be chosen as your mama. I’d relive it all—the chaos, the tears, the beauty, the wonder—in a heartbeat.

Coffee with Dena Beyrouty this morning, and I swearrrrr I could sit and talk with her for hours and feel like no time had passed. 🤍

Dena has this incredible gift of making people feel seen. She leads with so much empathy, has a heart of gold, and genuinely cares about people in a way that you can feel. At one point, she literally got up from our table to ask someone outside if they needed a meal. No hesitation. Just a heart that notices people and wants to love them well.

We talked about those little gut instincts that nudge us toward someone who might need a little extra love, encouragement, or kindness. About meeting people where they are and being willing to follow that prompting. I left our conversation feeling so encouraged and reminded that loving people well often starts with simply noticing them.

So grateful for women like Dena who live this out so naturally. A heart of gold, inside and out. 🫶🏽 by @gabbynorthy

Someone asked me today if I feel like I’m balancing work and family life well. My immediate answer was, “nope”. 😂

Because honestly, as a working mom, there’s always a part of you that feels like you could be doing better somewhere. When I’m focused on work, I feel like I should be more present at home. When I’m fully present with my family, I wonder if I’m giving enough to my career. Just when you find a rhythm, life throws you a big UGLY curveball.

I’ve realized balance doesn’t mean giving everything an equal piece of you. It means knowing what matters most and being intentional with the time you have. My family will always be my biggest priority. I’m incredibly grateful for a career that allows me to be present in soooo many ways I might not have been if I’d forced my life to follow the path I once imagined (thanks, God🫶🏽).

It may not look exactly how I thought it would, but maybe that’s the point. Maybe the goal isn’t perfect balance… it’s being grateful for the life you have, making the most of the moments you’re given, and knowing that at the end of the day, you’re right where you’re supposed to be. 🤍 by @gabbynorthy

last day of summer ‘26 has me in my feeeels 🥹 was it just me, or was this a GOOD one?

appliances broke, renovations were done, little feets played in the background, popsicles were shared with grandparents & great grandparents, cousin nights were had, friend BBQs, bestie dinner dates, forts were built, and the playroom was cleaned (a million times).

summer ‘26, you were SO good to us 🫶🏼 by @gabbynorthy

Somehow this not so tiny baby girl is already halfway to ONE?! Absolutely not. I reject that information. 🥺

She’s happiest being held, wants to know what everyone else is doing, has the biggest little smile, and is perfectly content just watching the chaos. Our family just feels a little more us with her in it. & yes… her hair is chilling out. She got a good mullet going on. 🎀

Ugh, time slowwww down. I’m not ready for this girl to walk and talk and roll her eyes at me. 😆 by @gabbynorthy

Happy hour with one of the best: Treva Gambs - restaurant owner, businesswoman, powerhouse, advocate, fellow Chamber Director… and just an all-around GOOD human.

To know Treva is to love her. She loves hard, gives so much grace, and genuinely believes in people. We talked motherhood, career, success, and the whole “how the heck are we supposed to balance all of this?” thing 😂

But what I keep thinking about most is how much she truly loves PEOPLE. Even when someone’s walk, beliefs, or opinions look completely different from her own, she’s still looking for the good and rooting for people first. That one really stuck with me.

There was something so impactful about hearing her perspective. Not because she has all the answers, but because she leads with so much grace, conviction, and genuine care for the people around her. I left our conversation feeling encouraged, challenged, and honestly just really grateful to know a woman like her.

Ladies, if you ever get the chance to sit down with this woman, DO IT. Powerhouse is an understatement.

1000/10 would recommend the drinks at @gamberettis.salem too 🥂 SO THANKFUL for the conversation and the friendship.✨ by @gabbynorthy

Seven. 🤍

Apparently, statistically speaking, seven is supposed to be the hardest year of marriage. Looking back at these photos, I can understand why people say that. So much life has happened since this day.. joy, loss, change, babies, family, hard seasons, and such incredibly beautiful ones. Some of the people in these photos have gone home to be with the Lord, and just so much has changed. But these photos also take me back to the Scripture I read as I walked down the aisle.

I’ve failed those words more times than I can count. But I’m incredibly grateful that I married a man who also tries to live them out for me, over and over again. Someone who forgives. Who serves his family. Who is patient, kind, humble, and continues to show up even when things aren’t easy.

Over the last seven years (but really the last decade with you) Benny the Jet, you’ve shown me that hard seasons don’t have to break us. They can also remind us of what we promised.

5 months of rocking the gravity-defying hair 🎀

This strong little babe is working on crawling and somehow getting cuddlier by the day. 💓

BTW dressing a baby girl is every bit as fun as I imagined, but watching her grow this fast? Absolutely rude. 😭 Almost half a year w our girl already!!! Not ok. by @gabbynorthy
