Daughter of the owner and award-winning Aquatics Director responsible for the success Houston Swim Club has had for more than three decades, but known in the pool as simply ‘Ms. Tracy,’ we’re honored to feature this mama today who has blessed our lives more than she’ll ever know.⁣
⁣
Tracy Laman literally grew up in the pool. Phil Hansen opened the first swim school in Sharpstown in 1973 and Tracy and her sisters grew up working there. Tracy’s mother Bonnie eventually bought HSC and the rest is history! We felt how special this place was when we took our tour last February. There’s something truly amazing about a swim school with Houston homegrown roots and a place where the bosses (Jennifer Hawes the Site Director included) still get in the pool with the kiddos. ⁣
⁣
You ask Tracy where her passion lies and it’s in that pool, teaching kids life saving skills. And it’s that loving, nurturing environment that keeps parents choosing @thehoustonswimclub time and time again. ⁣
⁣
We got to sit down with this inspirational woman to talk all things motherhood, her passion for drowning prevention, and the HSC difference- something we get to see first hand every week with our kids in lessons!⁣

Had the pleasure of spending part of our evening with this talented, beautiful, kind soul @schaub.photography 📷 We just adore her, you guys. There’s something really special when a photographer can make you feel like a friend and set you at ease the entire time. A lot of the images on our feed are from this lady and we are just so glad we found her. Sam, you are a dream to work with! Keep sharing your gift! ♥️

We had an absolute blast at @blessingtonfarms today as a family! Mamas, make sure you add this to your Fall bucket list! We go every year (sometimes twice!) and it never disappoints. So much fun for the whole fam. Also, Hallelujah Amen it felt like October today! 🙌🏻🎃🍁🍂

It’s no secret we are big believers of Chiropractic care, and we’re also becoming big believers in the types of doctors that choose to become Chiropractors – seriously the biggest hearts on these guys 💙. And, it’s clear that Katy has some of the best and most passionate chiropractors out there! We got to chat with Dr. Daryn McCarter of Experience Life Chiropractic (@experiencelifetx), and we promise, if you read his interview, you will feel the passion and love that Dr. McCarter has for Chiro, his practice, and his patients.⁣
⁣
Dr. McCarter and his wife Morgan, who are local parents themselves, are so proud of not only the care that they provide their patients, but also the culture and the atmosphere they have created in their office. Dr. McCarter specializes in pregnant moms and pediatrics, so he is a great resource for us mamas! So head over to our blog (🔗 in bio) to go check out this #smallbusinesssaturday feature! There’s a special deal for you at the bottom of the interview!!

We saw a quote once and it’s been our mantra from from day one with this platform, specifically this week when we had the opportunity to speak to the mamas at @studiomomhouston about community in motherhood. 👉🏻 “I’ve built more relationships by being open and honest about my struggles, than I ever could pretending I had it all together.” Mamas, we have got to unite on this one. If you ask us why it’s often hard for moms to find their people, it’s because we’re not getting past the surface level of things. We’ve got these walls built, a lot of us unknowingly painting a picture of ‘everything’s wonderful and easy.’ Guys, not one of us has it all together and being a mom is hard. Life is hard! And sometimes the hardest part is feeling like you’re the only one finding it hard, the only one struggling, the only one who doesn’t wake up each day with rainbows and sunshine coming out of your ears. If we’d all just be a little more honest about the hard stuff, if we’d get comfortable sharing this with others, we’d all feel a little less alone, a lot more normal.
And listen, we know the internet can be a bit crowded with all things motherhood. But guys? We think it’s about damn time we start talking. And we hope we never shut up about it. Writing about it, sharing, reading, experiencing...it brings us together. Let’s not be afraid to be vulnerable. Some beautiful things happen when human beings can just open up and be REAL. Let’s continue doing it. Going beneath the surface and sharing, truly sharing, that’s where connection happens. ♥️
