Catching Up with the Motta Girls: Magical Moments + Milestones!
Hi Friends!
It's been a hot minute since I've sat down to write, and oh boy, do we have some delightful updates to share from the whirlwind that has been our lives recently. Let's dive into the magical and memorable moments that have filled our days!
Reese Turns Four: A Lowkey Celebration
We kicked off with the sweetest celebration for our little Reese as she turned four. Keeping it simple yet incredibly special, we spent the day wrapped in the warmth of family love, laughter, and, of course, cake! Watching her eyes light up with each gift + giggle was truly the highlight of our day.
Disney Dreams Come True
The magic escalated when we surprised the girls with a trip to Disney World! From meeting their favorite princesses to the enchanting fireworks, every moment was sprinkled with Disney magic. And yes, stay tuned for a whole post dedicated to our Disney adventures—I can’t wait to share all the tips, tricks, and pixie dust with you!
A Career High: Partnering with Disney+
On a professional note, I am over the moon about our partnership with Disney for their Disney+ app. This collaboration marks a monumental moment in my career, and I am beyond grateful for this magical opportunity. A TRUE PINCH ME MOMENT! It’s a dream come true in every possible way! It was also a family affair, and loads of fun — see our post HERE!
Quick Reset in the Dominican Republic
After our Disney escapade, I barely touched down at home before jetting off to the Dominican Republic for my very first MOM getaway. Celebrating a dear friend's 40th birthday in such a gorgeous setting was nothing short of spectacular. I even squeezed in a photoshoot amidst the fun—can't wait to share those snaps!
Tween Room Transformation with Pottery Barn Teen
Back on the home front, we partnered with Pottery Barn Teen (EEEEPPPP PINCH ME!) to give Clover the ultimate tween room makeover. Transforming her space into a haven of style + comfort was a joy, and I promise, see HERE the reveal. Still some things left to do in the next few weeks, but already makes me so happy to see her room. I may or may not move in! haha
School Bells + Summer Yells
In more family milestones, Reese wrapped up her preschool year, stepping boldly towards Pre-K 4, while Clover triumphantly finished her first year of middle school. They are growing up so fast, and I couldn’t be prouder!
Rising from a Rut
Amidst these highs, I encountered a brief emotional rut during my fun-employment phase. However, I've bounced back, more excited + energized for the adventures that summer holds for us.
Embracing Summer: Camp Days + Road Trips
With the season in full swing, we’re all about summer loving! The girls are off to their respective camps, and I’ve declared the in-between moments as "MOM CAMP," where I indulge in things just for me. From road trips to simple pleasures, we’re making every day count.
As we enjoy these sunny days, I am so grateful to have you along for the ride. Your support means the world to us, and I can't wait to share more of our life's beautiful chaos.
Here’s to making memories, embracing the journey, and loving every minute. Thank you for being part of our family’s story.
XOXO,
ari and the motta girls!
