Happy National Son’s Day to my favorite son. 💙

Lance, there really aren’t words for the relationship between a mom and her son. You can make me laugh, make me shake my head, make me worry from hundreds of miles away, and somehow still make me want to ask if you’ve eaten and remind you of things you are perfectly capable of remembering yourself.

No matter how much life changes or how far away the Navy takes you, I hope you always know that you have a home with us. You may be grown and building a life of your own, but there will always be a place for you here.

One of my favorite things about this stage of life is getting to know you not just as my son, but as an adult. Our conversations are different, our relationship has grown, and somehow you can still turn right back into my little boy in about 2.5 seconds.

Being your mom will forever be one of my favorite roles, and I love you more than you’ll ever fully understand. by @hapachicana

Smoked Honey Pumpkin Pistachio Cold Brew 🍯🎃💚

Pumpkin pistachio syrup swirled into cold brew, topped with a honey vanilla cold foam with just a pinch of smoked sea salt. The honey brings out the sweetness of the pistachio, while that little bit of smoked salt gives it the perfect sweet-and-salty finish.

Creamy. Nutty. A little smoky. Just enough pumpkin. Basically fall in a cup without being another basic pumpkin coffee. 😂🍂

🎃 Pumpkin Churro Cold Brew 🤎

Pumpkin season, but make it churro.

Cold brew swirled with pumpkin sauce + brown sugar cinnamon syrup, then topped with a fluffy vanilla cold foam and a little cinnamon goodness on top.

It’s pumpkiny, warm and cinnamon-sweet without losing that cold brew kick — basically pumpkin pie and a churro decided to become a coffee. by @hapachicana

Happy National Daughters Day to my sweet Ellie. 💕🎀

Being a mom has given me some of the greatest gifts and memories of my life. For almost 20 years, I’ve gotten to experience motherhood through raising an amazing son, and now this little girl has come along and given me a whole new side of motherhood to experience. 💙💕 I feel incredibly lucky that I get to know and love both.

In almost three short months, Ellie has already brought so much joy and laughter into our family. I love watching her little personality come out more every day — the smiles, the little conversations, the attitude 😂, and the way she already seems to know exactly what she wants.

I can’t wait for all the memories ahead of us. But I’m not rushing any of it. For now, I’m soaking up every cuddle, every smile, and every moment of her being my tiny girl.

Happy National Daughters Day, Eleanor. 💗🎀
You are so very loved. by @hapachicana

Happy 20th birthday to the one who made me a mom. 💙

I still don’t know how we got here, but somehow my little boy is officially 20! In so many ways, we grew up together. Through all the ups, downs, crazy moments, and everything life has thrown our way, being your mom has always been one of the greatest parts of my life.

Watching you grow into the man you are today makes me prouder than I could ever put into words. You’re building your own life, finding your own way, and becoming your own person, but no matter how grown you get, you will always be my baby boy.

And this year gave me something I never expected to get to see — you become a big brother. Watching you with Ellie means more to me than you probably realize, and she has no idea yet just how lucky she is to have you. 💙

I love you more than you’ll ever know, Lance. Happy 20th birthday! 🎉 by @hapachicana

Somehow our little girl is already two months old. 🥹 This month has brought us so many smiles, lots of coos, even more personality, and a little girl who is becoming more curious about everything around her every single day.

She loves kicking those little legs, trying to “stand” whenever we hold her, watching everything going on around her, hanging out with her fur sisters, and giving us those big gummy smiles that pretty much guarantee she gets whatever she wants.

And one of the very best parts of this month — she finally got to meet her big brother. 🥹❤️ Seeing my two babies together is something this mama has been waiting for.

Two months of loving you, Ellie Mae, and somehow you just keep getting sweeter. Watching you grow is the best and most bittersweet thing.

Happy 2 months, baby girl. You really are proof that sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart. by @hapachicana

September is right around the corner, Starbucks has officially released the pumpkin spice lineup… so obviously I had to get a little creative at home. 🎃☕️

Introducing my Toasted Pumpkin Cookie Pie 🤎

Pumpkin cookie butter + toasted marshmallow + vanilla bean, topped with toasted marshmallow cold foam, graham cracker crumbs, and an oatmeal cream pie because apparently we’re not easing into fall over here.

A little Summerween, a little fall preview, and definitely a keeper. 🍂🎃 by @hapachicana

Happy Gotcha Day to our Laila. 🐾❤️

From the tiny little rocker puppy who grew up alongside Lance to now being baby security and the best big fur sister to Ellie. 🥹👶🏼🐶

It’s crazy looking back and realizing how many chapters of our family she’s been here for. She may have a little more gray on her face now, but she’s still the same sweet, loyal girl we brought home all those years ago.

From Lance’s puppy to Ellie’s protector. ❤️ Happy Gotcha Day, Laila girl. 🐾 by @hapachicana

Somebody decided to choose chaos when I was ready to cook, so Mom chose steak and carbs. 😂🥩🍜

Creamy carbonara Buldak topped with garlic butter steak and fresh Parmesan. Because sometimes dinner doesn’t need to be balanced—it just needs to be GOOD. 🤤 by @hapachicana

Smoked Sea Salt Maple Cold Brew 👻

Sometimes the simplest flavors make the biggest impression.

Rich cold brew, sweet maple, silky vanilla cold foam, and a finishing sprinkle of smoked sea salt come together for the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and cozy. It’s the kind of coffee that tastes like crisp autumn mornings—even if it’s still the middle of summer. by @hapachicana
