hi, i’m cayla!

happy first father’s day to you @tyleratha thoug

happy first father’s day to you @tyleratha though you’ve been training for this gig your whole life!! just when I think I couldn’t love you more you become a dad and my heart explodes daily. God most certainly created you for this role and for that, Roxy, Riley and I are so so lucky 🖤 we love you to the 🌙!

our angels. oh how God has blessed us! my heart gr

our angels. oh how God has blessed us! my heart grows in ways I could never have imagined each and every time I look at them. and even when we’re apart, I’m constantly reminded of how amazing God is when I see them on my lock screen or when I hear a coo that sounds like theirs. the reminders keep me constantly feeling close to them no matter where I am.

I’ve always loved the notion of a wedding ring being a constant reminder of the love you and your partner share, and with a push present the idea is the same: something that stays with you as a beautiful reminder of your children. Tyler ultimately picked out the most gorgeous ring @matthewtrentjewelry to stay nestled between my wedding bands: an oval eternity band to represent the endless love we have for each other and our little ones.

Matthew Trent helped navigate us through the decision and made it intimate and every bit enjoyable as you would imagine! if you’re looking for somewhere to shop for something this special, @matthewtrentjewelry will make you feel like family.

🥹 missing my little squad majorly today! first time leaving my babes overnight but know they’re in the best, most capable hands - dad’s! 🙏🏼

I’m heading to cali to celebrate my grandma’s life ➡️ then straight back to squeeze my peeps! ❣️

thank you to my favorite photog and friendy @shelbweb for our first family pics 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻

who else feels ready for change? 🙋🏻‍♀️

who else feels ready for change? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️
I woke up this morning with a renewed energy after spending yesterday in tears. I thought my postpartum hormones were finally leveling until the tragedies of the last two weeks in ny & tx pulled me into the dark. but I woke up realizing the dark is necessary to incite the flame of change. we have to stay angry. we have to stay hurt and heartbroken and not fall victim to moving on. there *are* compromises. there *is* something we can do. let’s heal together but stay enraged because that is the passion will fuel CHANGE. then love will bring us together. 🤍

POV: you’re sipping a fresh aperol spritz under lemon trees with a breeze in your hair and the smell of cacio e pepe wafting in the air…

no you’re not in positano, you’re at @dolcerivieradal 🍋🍊! one of our favorite vibey spots has finally reopened their doors post covid with a new menu and the same great atmosphere. the music was an upbeat mix of genres & is anything but sleepy!

they offer seating on the patio, in the main dining room and in the bar (where we sat!) for a more loungey meal. our sips were delish and we loved every bite!

we’ve always loved dolce riviera for brunch on the patio but loved our dinner date as well. thanks for having us @droesepr! 🍊

I'm realizing quickly as a new mom that sometimes I have just a few minutes to dash out and grab some grub -- and I love when I find fresher, healthier options for food on the go!

Enter Pollo Campero: they just launched their new Grilled Camperitos, 100% white meat, Peruvian, citrus-spiced, grilled chicken nuggets, and they are so insanely flavorful! I love their fresh sides as well... I couldn't decide between the Corn Salad or the plantains so I didn't and got both 🙂

You can order Pollo Campero at the restaurant, for pickup, through the loyalty app, third party delivery vendors (Uber Eats, GrubHub, Postmates & DoorDash) and at us.campero.com!
