My favorite view in the world: Watching him be a dad 🥹⚓️🤍

If you would have told my high school sweetheart self that this would be our reality 17 years later, I think my heart would have completely melted.

Out of all the chapters we’ve written together, and all the versions of him I’ve loved, my absolute favorite part of my husband is watching him be a father. Capturing this quiet moment of him pushing our oldest on the swings is a core memory for me.

In the middle of a busy week, it is so easy to get caught up in the logistics of parenting, the schedules, the meals, the endless to-do lists. But when you pause, roll up the windows to the daily rush, and just watch your partner pour love, patience, and strength into your babies? There is no deeper form of attraction or respect.

Choosing the right partner to build a legacy with is everything. Seeing him create a safe, joyful lane for our boys makes every single bit of the crazy, beautiful ride worth it.

Transitioning from lovers to co-parents of three is beautiful, but it requires intentionality so you don't lose sight of each other. Here are 3 realistic lifestyle tips for keeping the romantic spark alive while raising a family:

1. Study Your Partner in Their New Element: Take time to actively notice and praise the parenting moments that make you proud. Sending a quick text like, "I loved watching you play with the boys this morning, you’re an amazing dad," validates them and fuels that romantic respect.

2. The 10-Minute "No Kid Zone" Rule: Dedicate the first 10 minutes after the kids go to bed to just talk to each other,no talking about schedules, bills, or the kids. Check in on each other’s hearts, minds, and mental health first.

3. Date the Version of Them They are Today: You both aren't the same people you were when you started. Lean into the growth. Plan low-pressure dates, even if it's just grabbing a quiet morning iced coffee together while the kids are occupied, and fall in love with the evolved version of your person.

Protect your peace, honor your foundation, and always remember to capture the quiet moments along the way. 👑🌿

... Read moreWatching a partner embrace fatherhood can truly transform one’s perspective on love and partnership. From my own experience, the most profound attraction is seeing the patience and strength a dad pours into his children during the everyday moments. It’s those small interactions, like gently pushing a child on the swings, that create lifelong memories and deepen respect. Parenting is often described as chaotic, filled with busy schedules and endless to-dos, but I've learned that pausing to appreciate the emotional bond between a father and his kids rewires how you view the relationship altogether. Taking time to observe and verbally celebrate your partner’s parenting efforts—like sending a quick message acknowledging their dedication—can foster both romantic admiration and a solid partnership. Maintaining a loving connection while raising kids is challenging but crucial. Implementing a simple 10-minute 'no kid zone' after bedtime to focus on each other’s feelings and mental health rather than logistics helps preserve intimacy. Also, embracing the current versions of yourselves, rather than clinging to past identities, allows love to grow along with personal change. Even casual, low-key dates like grabbing coffee can rekindle that spark. In my journey, honoring these quiet moments and intentional shifts has been key to building a lasting legacy filled with joy and peaceful coexistence. It’s a reminder that you don’t just build a family—you build a partnership that evolves with each chapter.

my mom heart is melting!!! Seeing these two become best friends is truly such a blessing. God has answered so many prayers and I see that daily in my relationship with Jack, the joy in my kiddos faces, and in the little moments of motherhood. Being a parent takes so much sacrifice and selflessness;

It’s me, Sam — finally outta the house and out in the quiet with my blue-collar man 🤍 No deadlines, no dishes, no chaos — just sunshine, trees, and the man who still makes my heart do a little flip-flop. We don’t get many slow days, but when we do… I hold on to 'em tight. 💛 #ItsMeSam #B
