Every day I say, Adelaide you want to walk? “No, mama carry me!”

So I slump her on my shoulder and carry this precious angel up three flights of stairs and along the prettiest scene my eyes could see. As I walk every day with this rosy-cheeked sweat toddler I look at all the mamas along the way. Rocking babies under umbrellas, strapping life jackets on, wiping tears and sometimes stepping back from fun moments to tend to the littlest in the background. Beauty. Beauty in those quiet “background moments”.

I see you, mamas, you are all amazing 🌊🙌.
