Dressing Kinley up

It's been almost 2 weeks since Ace has left to go 9 hours up north for his new career. But let me tell you, I absolutely suck at this long distance thing. Thankfully I have my little side kick Kinley. She's been sleeping with me more, and I love it. There is just one thing. Over the last month and a half she went from no accidents ever (including nights) to having them every single night. I was told she may start regressing because of the stress everyone has been through so I think that's where it's coming from. Last night I was woken up by a sleepy 3 year old saying "mama I pee'd". So I started up a 3 am bath and the laundry. I was so tired this morning especially with her not wanting anything I offered for breakfast, I wanted to crawl back in bed and cry. She ended up giving me the sweetest hug and telling me I'm her best friend and asked to wear her fairy wings to the car. Instantly my heart melted and I wasn't all that frustrated.

We played dress-up today.
Yes I bribed her.

Here are some pics :)

Kinley insisted on wearing her wings from the house to the 2 min trip in the elevator and walk to the car

being bribed with candy (ahh guilty)
 

THESE BUNS?! Miley hair is okay as long as she doesn't start twerking.

Life

I often have people tell me how " perfect " my life is over social media. Don't forget that Instagram will give you a false perception of people's lives. I do believe Ace and I were placed in each other  lives for a reason, and that we wouldn't have been able to go through, and still continue to go through, what we have if it wasn't for a bigger purpose. But I'm not going to post every single up and down, and we have lots. Don't beat yourself up over comparing with other people. I'm not anywhere near perfect, I have a sharp tongue and my words cut deep, but I'm human. It's crazy what sadness can do. All I can do is focus on making myself a better mother, partner and friend, every single day. I've been making a constant effort to do that. Real life occurs behind all the cropping and filters.
