How it started… SWIPE to see how it’s going! @ How it started… SWIPE to see how it’s going! @illadelph1 & I celebrated 8 years of marriage on Tuesday 🥂! We get to celebrate in Napa this weekend which is super special because we were expecting Emeri during our our first & only other trip here together 7 years ago. My spirit wouldn’t not let me take a moment to acknowledge our journey after work and travel picked up again. I love on my Husband and strive to always remind him how important he is to us both privately and publicly. In a world that feels unfamiliar (yet too familiar) at times after the last 2.5 years, it’s important to celebrate love. Love always wins. Love NEVER fails. I love our love with all that is within me ❤️. Thank you SO much for getting down on one knee and forgetting to ask me to marry you lol. I’ll always say yes!

Beautiful Girl...You can do hard things! Remember Beautiful Girl...You can do hard things! Remember Emeri’s first recital back in November that didn't go as planned, and the resilience she showed? That same resilience came shining through today ✨. Our girl got back on that big piano in front of a bunch of strangers and played her song beautifully! She came off the stage and ran into my arms for the biggest hug 🤗. As we walked out the church I asked her if she was proud of herself and she said “Yes, because I faced my fear”. Y'all 🥹. I got yet another lesson out of this sweet girl today. Hope it helps you too ❤️.

Long Post- ✋🏽My name is Larissa. I am an impe Long Post- ✋🏽My name is Larissa. I am an imperfect perfectionist who’s fiercely competitive and who’s trying her best to not project these traits onto her daughter. If you saw my stories, you saw that Emeri had her first piano recital yesterday and it didn’t go how she practiced. Y’all she PRACTICED for months for a 1 minute performance. She knew her song inside and out. But things happen. We were late. The piano was huge and didn’t look or feel like hers, and she was performing in front of a room full of strangers for the first time ever at 5 years old. She held it together and kept going but she was super disappointed afterwards. She went directly to her Dad’s lap and he whispered everything she needed to hear in that teachable moment. While I could’ve have done the same, I wouldn’t have it done it nearly as well because of what I had going on internally. I was projecting like crazy and my inner child was screaming at me. I knew in that moment I needed to gather my words carefully and lovingly. André’s calm spirit was exactly what was needed for BOTH of us. After the recital we went out to eat and we took her to her first movie since pre-covid. When she got home, she got right back on the piano. In that moment I was so glad that I waited to say something. Her spirit wasn’t broken. She shook off the moment and showed up for herself. We had a great talk as I put her to bed that night and I told her what she taught me 💗. Parenting is challenging and that’s why a village is so important. I’m beyond grateful for ours.
