Three years of Oliver 🎂
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This past year brought more than its fair share of heartbreak. Shortly after turning two, Oliver was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

We were faced with an impossible decision: 15 months of chemotherapy, or a craniotomy that would leave him blind in his right eye.

Just 11 weeks after his diagnosis, we flew to Boston, where he underwent a 12-hour craniotomy at Boston Children’s Hospital.

He didn’t deserve any of it—countless hospital visits, six-hour infusions, a life-altering surgery, and so many unknowns.

And still, we lived. We chased joy. A dream trip to Maui, a road trip through New England in the fall, two escapes to Mexico, and even sailing through the BVIs.

Last week, we received the greatest birthday gift we could have hoped for: six months post-op, no evidence of recurrent or metastatic disease.

He’s the luckiest of the unlucky. Brave beyond belief. Overflowing with love. Pure sunshine.

Happy birthday to my sweet, resilient boy. You’ve already taught me more than I could ever teach you. 💛🌞

(Carousel compilation going back in time to his birthday last year. From baby to big boy!)

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!  Drop “VACAY” below for an exclusive 10% discount on any @vehm.mx villa booking! 🇲🇽

The kids ate freshly grilled burgers (with brioche buns baked by our in-house pastry chef) and snacked on homemade churros. The mamas were served fresh poke bowls and lobster tacos.

We had homemade paletas by the pool and sipped chilled coconut water fresh from the source. The food and service was out of this world!
