Finola Hughes Kids
Instagram Finola Hughes (Anna, GH) "Ok, so I can’t post pics of my kids anymore (their choice) so I found a way-back one of Dylan and one of Cash and Sadie with their backs to camera. I hope that’s acceptable! Being a mother opened the world up for me, it cracked it wide. From staring at them for hours in their bassinets to stealing crumbs of a conversation while they binge watch with headphones. It’s all mothering. I couldn’t be more proud of the beautiful people I get to share my life with. Love them all. ❤️" -

She is an amazing grandmother to my kids. They love and admire her... This last year was a very tough year. Watching her... I learned what true love is. She is a warrior. A fighter and an OG, for real. Second to none. I am very lucky to have this woman in my life. Believe me, I know it." -
Alicia Minshew Family
Instagram Alicia Minshew (Kendall, AMC) "Happy Mother’s Day to all of you hard working mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures. What a gift to be able to have this job. I spent this Mother’s Day watching my spunky little kid kick a leg up in her dance recital. 😝 So fun! She made me a proud momma. In the next photos are the awesome women that have taught me so many things about being a mother. I learned from the best — my Momma, Grandma and Mother-in-Law. I am so grateful to have my mother ,but am missing my grandma and my mother-in-law. I feel them around us and know they are watching over us and probably laughing at many of my mothering choices..! 😆" -

Intense pain (childbirth— holy moly 😳) Intense joy. Stress. About their future. Am I providing them with everything they need for a healthy/successful life? Watching them grow puts everything into perspective. It is not lost on me how very fortunate I am to have brought two healthy people into this world and have the opportunity/responsibility to raise them.
