You’re beautiful —22-month-old

Motherhood makes us feel beautiful. Yes, it's intense to be so needed (all the time), but it's also just so meaningful.

It's a beautiful thing to be so loved and so wanted. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. We adore all of Aden + Anais blankets, but especially this merino wool edition for snuggles in your toddler's bed.
