curating core memories for ourselves was the inspiration to begin our journey unlocking core memories for others ✨ we practice what we preach because if you don’t take the time to celebrate your accomplishments, your discipline, your consistency to show up everyday in this world, then who will?

listen in how we intentionally curated our 4th birthday celebration and the core memory that we carry because of it. there’s not enough thank you’s to Seared & Saccharum for curating THE BEST MEAL (sorry grandma) we have ever had in our lives! & thank you to Susan Elizabeth Photography for capturing this moment in time for us and sharing in our experience.
