My baby said she isn’t into to dances and I haven’t been able to get her to go to any, but I told her junior and senior year she must attend. So junior year she went to homecoming (with many complaints) and she’s on prom committee so she has to go. I’ll take my wins where I can get them 🥰 I’m still in denial that she’s a year from graduating. Of course she had a great time #momknowsbest #hoco2022 #homecoming #homecoming2022 #toledoschoolforthearts #kailahbaby #kailah #mybaby #myfirstborn https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWgZhuOfSC-04cVHZKNHPR5Q2W2q03T7ZYhuo0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve had a front row seat to my baby growing up and it’s pretty much been all me yet I feel like I still missed a good 10 years. I’m not sure where the time is going and when she blossomed into this intelligent, articulate, beautiful young lady entering her junior year of school? #kailahbaby #16 #sweet16 #birthday #motheranddaughter #twinning #620 #june20 #gemini https://www.instagram.com/p/CfDHXxBunn2UPybcHbyJpapEuX5jYr8hORD3nA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve been up working since 7:12 am on my day off…..but for once I don’t care. Today my baby is 16 years old!!! The one who made me a mom, the one who knows how to push all my right and wrong buttons, the one who challenges me, the one who is the most like me, the one who got my wit and sarcastic sense of humor, I spit this one TF out! She is the good parts of me and we’re still working one the bad 🥴🤷🏾‍♀️ But forreal today is all about my Kailah Baby the one who taught me what unconditional love truly is. It’s bittersweet her and Pappy sharing a birthday, I wish he was physically here to see the red monster his red devil raised but I know he’s in heaven cracking up as she tries me 😂😂😂 here’s to my two favorite people born on June 20th #kailahbaby #16 #sweet16 #birthday #motheranddaughter #twinning #pappy #620 #june20 #gemeni https://www.instagram.com/p/CfB-zf_urRnfFrB5TDqKPbQ4L8YbWuL9B5Qf4I0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My baby and I did a thing prior to school and work this morning; we went and got her 😬 removed!!! Her smile is poppin’ poppin’ 😁 They did a phenomenal job and this was worth every cent I spent #nomorebraces #KailahBaby #smile #saycheese #hlsorthodontics #herhairpoppintoo #twinning #morheranddaughter (at HLS Orthodontics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbIwu7IOiGruHZKtfGj_mFu6EdXjtzYYRkP4fc0/?utm_medium=tumblr

My big baby made it back from Windsor and knew exactly what to get me. A shot glass or two and a bracelet from the museum. She also got her and Kamille matching t-shirts and I’m a little salty at that. Those sister bonds go hard so I get it and they love their squishies 🤷🏾‍♀️ glad she got to experience that and made it back home safely to me https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nT_VOMEshmA_h4hKQLDKZK1TK-fN8yVN/view #KailahBaby #studioorchestra https://www.instagram.com/p/CbDx7kWOTjD4CGACSERyKlFsabwAnEuRXSTFwo0/?utm_medium=tumblr

I thought my baby’s first time in Canada would be with me. I planned to go last year but Covid said nah. Anyway she had me up early AF to drop her off for a band trip. Her instructor doesn’t mess around with getting them exposure. She’s already sent me a grip of pictures and updates so I feel like I’m there-ish. I hope she and the other students have a phenomenal weekend. She better bring me something back and take pictures like I would 🥰🤳🏾 #KailahBaby #studioorchestra https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca-CBlSuF3yVxUBVTa8C5OivTMFPMSdM2_t0yg0/?utm_medium=tumblr

These past couple of school years have been the sort of things I normally read about. Anyway Kailah is finally able to do Toledo Excel in person. But somethings never change like her not wanting to take any pictures 😡 Here’s to a better school year for my favorite oldest child and me not crying thinking about how old she is 😭😭 #beautyandbrains #shegetitfromhermama #mynumberone #kailahbaby #collegebound (at The University of Toledo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVGEXY2FugUJMUx4QjB7vqgiV-3ulgA0s9df4k0/?utm_medium=tumblr

First picture with the birthday girl 🥰🥰🥰 I can’t believe she is 14 years old, it seems like she was just born. This young lady continues to bless, amaze, challenge, and surprise me #Kiwi #KailahBaby #MotherAndDaughter #HappyBirthday #062006 #Bae (at University of Toledo Lancelot Thompson Student Union Auditorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqUqKelF318Y7dbo1d8fbCxpVnotCj6W13j4I0/?igshid=1hmwpa73gmzw9

She hates when I post pics of her on social media, but I snapped this one after work and love it!!! Homeschool is as tiring as physical school I guess. This is BAE all got damn day, I will choke somebody TF out about mines. This one can push my buttons like no other, but this is my girl, my mini me, the one who made me a mother. I love her annoying ass to pieces 🥰🥰🥰 #KailahBaby #thathairtho #locs #loclivin #locvibes #locnodread #locgirlsrock #locqueens #locselfie #Queens #tranquility #quarantine #homeschoollife #tuesdayvibes #Love #unconditionallove #daughter https://www.instagram.com/p/B92tX5klBa-93NkIe6HAhQp8HLmfLT_03vs55Q0/?igshid=1gns2o88tfh15

Out with my 13 year old damaging my wallet. She may get on my nerves like no one else can (she’s a lot like me), but I wouldn’t trade her for the world. She is intelligent, kind, funny, driven, and talented. Can’t wait to continue to see her grow 😍 #Kiwi #KailahBaby #MotherAndDaughter #HappyBirthday #062006 #Bae (at Franklin Park Mall) https://www.instagram.com/p/By8-LC5FZPViDB3VWsA5qngx5BiFnWylnhVjpk0/?igshid=bfvw58cnkwt1
