Sitting here on this beautiful October🍂 morning in Indiana, reflecting on life, family, and all the changes that come with it, I'm reminded that today would have been my Mom and Dad's 75th wedding anniversary! 🤍

On October 20, 1951, they began a journey together that would become a lifetime of memories, family, love, and all the joys and challenges that come with sharing a life!

I still remember celebrating their 50th anniversary back in 2001, when I was just a couple of months away from welcoming Isabelle into the world! It's hard to believe another 25 years have passed! 💖

These past several weeks have brought such a mixture of emotions! The wonderful news of another little Grandson🩵 joining our family in March, alongside some difficult news and heartbreaking goodbyes, has reminded me just how much joy and sorrow can exist in the very same season of life!

Like every marriage and every family, their story wasn't perfect, but it was theirs! They built a life, raised a family, weathered difficult seasons, and gave us so many memories that I still carry with me today!

One of the most beautiful things I witnessed was the way my Father cared for my Mother during the final years of her life! Through her illness and all the challenges that came with it, he was simply there, loving her and caring for her without hesitation or complaint! It gave me a deeper understanding of the love they shared and what it truly means to stand beside someone through life's most difficult seasons! It really showed me the meaning of true love! 💞

And now, 75 years after their wedding day, the family they began continues to grow, change, and carry their story forward! It isn't always perfect, and sometimes life gets a little messy, but it's ours! We celebrate the beautiful moments, hold one another through the difficult ones, and keep moving forward with love!

I wish they were both here to celebrate this incredible milestone, to share another laugh, another story, and another moment together!

Missing you both today, Mom and Dad, and remembering the life you shared and the family that came from it!

Remembering you both with love on what would have been your 75th anniversay 🤍🕊️ by @whiskeyteacup93

We got to celebrate our Duckie this past weekend! 🦆🖤

A weekend of family, friends, a little chaos 😂, a whole lot of fun and time together celebrating my best friend as he turned 59!

It's already been a year filled with so many sweet memories made, adventures, celebrations, family time and all those little moments in between. ❤️

This man may have a little Darth Vader on the outside — calm, stoic and occasionally a little grumpy 😂 — but those of us lucky enough to really know him know there's a whole lot of Duckie underneath that armor.

He loves quietly but deeply. He shows up. He helps. He fixes. He protects. He takes care of the people he loves. And somehow, over the years, he's stepped right into the beautiful chaos of me, my kids and these grandbabies and made his own place in all of it. ❤️

Watching the love he gives to his boys, my children and our Littles means more to me than I could ever really put into words. It's in all those everyday moments that I see his heart the most.

I hope he knows just how much we see it, how much we appreciate him and how very loved he is.

So here's to 59, Duckie! 🥂 Another year of adventures, memories, laughter, family, beautiful chaos and probably a few more moments when Vader has to come out. 😂🖤

I hope this next trip around the sun brings you happiness, peace, adventure and every good thing your heart could possibly want.

I love this man very, very much. ❤️ I'm so thankful for all the memories we've already made, and even more thankful that I get to keep making them beside you.

Happy 59th Birthday, my Duckie! 🦆🖤
May the love — and the fun — always be with you. ✨ by @whiskeyteacup93

✨ July + August ✨

Living the memories in real time... sharing them on Lovie time. 😂💕

Seriously though... where did summer go?! ☀️ These last two months flew by in a whirlwind of moving, making a new house our home, celebrating, adventuring and just doing LIFE together. 🏡💕

There was unpacking, organizing, decorating and plenty of projects — and by “we,” I mostly mean my Duckie Love did the work while I handled the very important job of picking out the designs. 😂🔨💕 You know....Teamwork! 😁

Somewhere in between, we filled our new home with Littles, peekaboos, backyard fun, morning meditations, afternoon movies piled together in the living room 🍿🎬, a new little reading nook under the stairs 📚✨, breakfast in bed, time with friends, rainbows 🌈 and Rhea giving Alexa very specific instructions to play Gummy Bear. 😂🎶

Then suddenly our little fairy was TWO 🧚‍♀️💕 and our first grandbaby was putting on a backpack and heading off to KINDERGARTEN. 🥹🎒✏️

Two months. So much change. So many little moments. So much LIFE. ❤️

The house may be new and the seasons may be changing, but the best part remains the same — we get to do this life together. And even amongst all the chaos, there was so much LOVE.

Summer, you went WAY too fast... but you were so good to us. ☀️💕 Now let's see what adventures fall has waiting for us! 🍂✨

Thankful. Grateful. Blessed. Always. 🙏💕

🧚‍♀️✨ Our little fairy turned TWO! ✨🧚‍♀️

Never late to the memories... just the posting! 😂💕 And this memory absolutely deserves its moment!

What a magical way to celebrate August and one of our very favorite Littles — our sweet, beautiful, fiery little Leo, Rhea Leneave! 🦁🔥💛

Our Fairy 2nd Birthday was filled with all the magic — fairies, flowers, cake, cupcakes, family, friends, laughter and so much LOVE! 🧚‍♀️🌸🍄🎂✨ We are so thankful for everyone who came to celebrate our girl and helped make her day so special.

And Rhea... ohhhh, our Rhea. 😂💕 She is joy. She is beauty. She is sunshine. She is FIRE. 🔥 And yes... she is also a tiny 2-year-old tyrant who keeps every single one of us on our toes! 😂👑

Our little Leo already has that big personality — bold, confident, loving, dramatic, fiercely independent and absolutely determined to do life HER way. 🦁✨ She is a force to be reckoned with, and I wouldn't be surprised if this little fairy takes over the world someday. 🧚‍♀️🌎🔥

I hope you always know how deeply you are loved, sweet girl. I hope you always feel celebrated, important and special — not only on your birthday, but every single day. 💕 Never lose that fire inside of you. The world is going to need it.

Cheers to TWO years of our beautiful little Rhea! 🥂🧚‍♀️🎂 Here's to all the magic, mischief and adventures still to come!

Thankful. Grateful. Blessed. Always. 🙏💕✨

And just like that... our Bug is a KINDERGARTENER! 🥹🎒✏️💙

Yesterday was another one of those moments that makes you wonder how time can possibly move this fast. Our first grandbaby, Dalias, headed off for his very first day of Kindergarten! 🍎📚✨

It feels like we were just celebrating all of his little “firsts,” and now here we are watching this sweet boy step into such a big new chapter. 🥹💙

There is something incredibly special about getting to watch your children grow... and then being blessed enough to watch their babies grow, too. 💕

So proud of you, Bug! 🐞 Go learn ALL the things, make new friends, have big adventures, laugh a lot, and keep being exactly the amazing little human you are! 🌎✨

Lovie & Duckie will be right here cheering you on through every new adventure! 💙🥰

Another milestone. Another memory. Another reminder of just how very blessed we are.
Thankful. Grateful. Blessed. Always. 🙏💙✨

✨ June Recap... just a little late thanks to moving! 🏡😂 It's the only way we roll!

June was full of celebrations, laughter, and so many moments we'll treasure forever. 💙

We kicked off the month celebrating Bug's preschool graduation! 🎓 Watching Dalias reach this milestone filled our hearts with so much pride.

Then came a few birthday celebrations, with the biggest one of all... Bug turning FIVE! 🎉🎂 We celebrated Bluey-style with pool time, games, and of course... Pass the Parcel—Lucky's Dad's way! 🩵💙 And because one day is never enough to celebrate someone you love, we made sure Bug's birthday lasted all month! 🥳

We wrapped up June with one last spontaneous Disney stay before officially moving into our new home. 🏰🏡✨

As excited as we are for this new chapter, I've learned that home has never been about the house itself. It's about the love inside it, the memories we create, and the people we get to share this beautiful life with.

Here's to new beginnings, new adventures, and another chapter filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. 💙✨

Thankful. Grateful. Blessed. Always. 🙏💕

May, you were full of memories. 💕
This month brought so many reasons to smile, celebrate, and be grateful for the people we love most.

We cheered Evan on as he completed his training and reached another milestone on his journey. 🎓⚡ We enjoyed Mother's Day Universal staycations, Disney adventures (because of course we did! 🏰✨), time with friends, travel days with Duckie, and so many simple moments spent together as a family. ❤️

Sometimes it's easy to focus on the big events in life, but I've learned that the real magic often lives in the ordinary moments—the family dinners, the laughter, the random adventures, the hugs from the Littles, the conversations, and the memories we don't realize we'll treasure someday. ✨

Life moves quickly. The kids grow up. The Littles get a little bigger. Seasons change. 🌿

So this is your reminder to slow down, soak it in, take the picture, make the memory, and say yes to the adventure. 💕

May wasn't perfect, but it was beautiful. And for that, I'm grateful.
At the end of the day, wealth isn't measured by what we own—it's measured by the love we share, the memories we make, and the people we get to walk through life with. ❤️

Here's to another month of making memories and finding joy in the journey. ✨

April 🤍🌸✨

A month of slowing down just enough to really be in it…
soaking up the moments, the laughter, and all the love in between.

We tried something new this year and gathered to celebrate Ostara 🌷🐣 — welcoming spring, new beginnings, and fresh energy. It felt meaningful, a little magical, and just really special.

We also snuck in a fun little trip to Indiana ✈️💛, celebrated some sweet birthdays 🎂, and rolled right into the start of May doing more of what we love most… being together.

Time with our Littles, time with friends, time just being… always my favorite 🤍

Here’s to another amazing month ahead filled with love, family, and all the good, good moments 🌼✨

Still soaking in all the love from my birthday weekend… ✨💖

A week ago I had the absolute joy of celebrating my 53rd Birthday with my beautiful family at my favorite Disney resort 🏰✨
It was full of love, laughter, a little chaos (okay… maybe a lot 😆), and memories that took me a few days to recover from — in the best way possible 💖

Moments like these are always a reminder to celebrate life… not just on birthdays, but in all the little and big ways we get to be together 🥂

It’s also a reminder that I will always choose to live life as me — fully, unapologetically, and surrounded by those who love me for exactly who I am. And the same goes for my family… we’re not perfect, but we are perfectly us — and that is more than enough 💞

Life has a way of showing you who is truly connected to you… and I am beyond grateful for my ever-growing, ever-evolving, beautifully imperfect crew who continue to show up with love, laughter, and realness every time 🥰

This celebration lasted days — just how it should be 🎂✨

Life is good. I am thankful, grateful, and so incredibly blessed for the people who choose me… just as I choose them 🤍

Thank you to everyone who took a moment to wish me a Happy Birthday — it truly meant so much 💕

And to my amazing partner Doug, my incredible kids, and my sweet littles who make everything brighter… you are my heart 💖

Cheers to 53 🥂✨ by @whiskeyteacup93

🎊🍾It’s been such an eventful start to the year, and now that everything has settled — graduation celebrated, boards passed, and this new chapter beginning — I just need to say it out loud 🤍✨

Marlee is officially an RN 🎉 — the goal she was so determined to accomplish. And she went out there and made it happen. 🥹

I am beyond proud of my firstborn, my Scorpio queen ♏️ — strong, compassionate, resilient, and full of heart. This wasn’t just about school or a test. It was about perseverance, commitment, and continuing to show up even when it felt hard.

Marlee your heart was always meant to heal 🩺🤍 and I know the lives you touch will be better because you chose this path.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again —
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. ❤️

With a new chapter beginning and so much ahead of you, this truly feels like the start of something beautiful 🌿 I can’t wait to watch it unfold.

Pisces mom ♓️ & Scorpio daughter ♏️
Two water signs — loving deeply, rising strong 🌊✨
🥂Cheers to you babe and to Girl power 🪄 - Love you forever 🤍 by @whiskeyteacup93

✨ A few of our favorites from the last few months of 2025 ✨
These may be just a handful of memories from the end of the year… but looking back, there was so much this year brought in the most beautiful ways 🤍

Our journeys aren’t always smooth, but even at this age, I’m grateful for the chance to keep learning and growing 🌱

Learning to focus on the good, releasing negative energy, and accept that not everything unfolds the way we expect—and that’s okay ✨
I know who I am… or at least I’m still figuring it out a little more every day 😉 and no one knows what's best for me better than me 😁

I used to wonder what’s the purpose? why are we even here?—especially when so much around me felt heavy or wrong!
Through my own learning and research, I’ve come to understand that life truly is what we make it—what we focus on and where we choose to place our energy 💭✨
That shift has been a hard but powerful lesson for me, and I’m grateful for the growth that came from learning to move on from the constant what’s the point?

Going with the flow, protecting our peace, and never letting anyone or anything pull us off our path!
Staying loyal to what’s right, leading with compassion, grace, and mercy—while knowing I can love unconditionally without sacrificing my beliefs or what’s right for me and our family 🫶🏼

No regrets! Just gratitude! Lessons learned! Growth earned 💛
Life is good. It’s what we choose to make it!

I choose to live, to celebrate, to be grateful—even when I stumble a little 😉

I’ll keep moving forward, protecting what matters, and creating positive space for myself and my family every single day ✨

Here’s to an even better year ahead… We may be a little late, but hello & welcome 2026 🥂✨ by @whiskeyteacup93

A Family Photo Shoot with a little magic, a lot of chaos, and our beautiful, ever-growing crew! 📸✨

Not every shot was perfect — not everyone sat, smiled, looked, or cooperated every time! 😉
But honestly… those are my favorites!
These wildly imperfect moments are the truest version of us — messy, magical, and all around wonderful! 🤍
Because at the end of the day, ALL that really matters is this beautiful chaos of life we’re experiencing together, full of love! 💖 ✨

Huge shout out to Megan for always taking such amazing care of our crew — chaos and all...love you!📸💛
