She has been my biggest role model throughout life, and I can’t imagine not having the bond we share. She is always understanding, supportive, caring, insightful, and most importantly, FUN. Of course, we fight about silly things like sisters do, and we have our differences, but it never matters how frustrated with her I am, I still love her unlike anyone else. I appreciate her so much. If I ever have a daughter, I hope she has a sister (or someone like one) as great as mine.

Aw, Momma :) Her singing this seriously used to fix any bad feeling…back when I was a little tater tot.

I’m helping my mom make corned beef and cabbage and pistachio bundt cake for dinner :) I love cooking with my mom, especially when it carries special meaning to both of us. Only 1/8 Irish and still proud.

My sister and brother-in-law have these words on a wall in their house. They’re pretty much a perfect couple, and not even in a vomit-inducing way.

My niece and I at my sister’s job today. I was keeping her distracted while Gina worked her ass off. Ignore my bunched up sweater that makes me look like a roly poly. I love my little Norah Bear more than I’ve ever loved anyone in the entire world. Photobooth is a great babysitting tool btw.

Mommy <3

If this is amethyst, it’s this month’s birthstone..my mommy’s.

My precious little niecey right after she woke up from her nap. We call her Norah Bear :)

I love this song. One of mommy’s favorites.
