I May Not Be Training, But We’ve Been Living on the Second Floor Without an Elevator for Another Month! 😂❤️

Life has a funny way of throwing curveballs, doesn’t it? Especially when you’re navigating unexpected challenges that make even the smallest tasks feel monumental. For me, living on the second floor without an elevator has become a daily adventure—one that’s tested my patience, strength, and sense of humor in ways I never imagined. But as I sit down to reflect on our journey, I realize just how much we’ve grown, how much love we’ve shared, and how, despite everything, life continues to bless us with moments that make it all worth it.

A month has passed since we moved into our new home. The excitement of the move quickly faded, replaced by the reality of living in an apartment that’s a bit more challenging than we originally anticipated. For starters, the second floor is beautiful, with wide windows that let in the morning light, but there’s one small catch—it’s up two flights of stairs, and the elevator? Well, it’s not functioning at all. And when you have a little one, a baby girl, running around and need to carry up bags of groceries, baby gear, or just essentials, the climb starts to feel like an Olympic event.

I laugh about it now, because what else can I do? Honestly, you can only carry so many bags up at once before you realize that the weight isn’t just in the groceries—it’s in the moments of feeling utterly drained. Still, even as I huff and puff after making the climb multiple times a day, there’s something about the little victories, like finally getting to the top with a toddler in one arm and a diaper bag on the other shoulder, that make me laugh. Maybe it’s that sense of accomplishment—like, yes, I did that. We did that.

But beyond the physical exhaustion, something else has been happening as well: my perspective has shifted. It’s so easy to get caught up in the “struggle” of everyday life—whether it’s carrying groceries up two flights of stairs or trying to balance motherhood, career, and personal wellness. But today, as I watched my daughter giggling as she ran around the living room, I realized how precious these moments are. Yes, I may be tired, but I’m here. I’m present. And my daughter is thriving in this environment, surrounded by love and the joy of family.

Today, we had an amazing day. We spent time together as a family, went out for a walk, and did all the things that bring us joy. It was one of those days where the mundane felt extraordinary. As I looked at my baby girl, so curious and full of life, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for everything we have. I might not be training for a marathon right now (even though I’d love to!), but there’s something about living in the moment that’s truly refreshing.

For those who follow my journey on the Girl with Wings YouTube channel, you know that I’ve been documenting these days—both the highs and the lows. Today’s vlog captures the essence of what it means to be a family—imperfect, messy, and beautiful in its own right. It’s easy to look at social media and assume that everyone’s life is picture-perfect. But that’s never been my style. I prefer to keep it real and raw, sharing the laughter, the chaos, and the love that fills our home.

And let me tell you, the love is real. It’s overwhelming, in the best possible way. Every morning, my baby girl looks at me with those wide eyes full of wonder, and I remember why I do everything I do. I carry the groceries, I clean the house, I balance the responsibilities of being a mom, and yes, I climb those stairs because, in the end, it’s all for her.

There’s something so empowering about motherhood, even when it feels like your body is telling you to take a break. There are days when I think, “I just can’t do this anymore,” but then I see my daughter’s face light up when she reaches the top of the stairs with me, or when she laughs because I’m making silly faces while folding laundry, and I realize that it’s not just about getting through the hard moments—it’s about embracing them. Every step, every challenge, is a part of this beautiful journey we’re on together.

As I’ve mentioned before, life isn’t always easy. I live with a disability, and it’s something I’ve had to learn to navigate with strength and grace. Not having arms has presented its own set of challenges, but it’s also given me a unique perspective on life. It’s forced me to find new ways of doing things, to be resourceful, and to rely on the support of those around me. And let’s be honest—my family has been incredible. From my partner to my little girl, they’ve been the rock that keeps me steady through the ups and downs.

It’s not always easy, and there are moments when I feel like I’m just a little too tired to keep going. But then I remind myself that there’s nothing more beautiful than the life we’ve built together. I may not have arms, but I have the ability to love and be loved, to create memories, and to share those memories with you all. That’s what truly matters.

As I write this, I feel a deep sense of gratitude. Life may not always look the way we expect it to, but it’s still full of love, laughter, and moments of pure joy. Even when the elevator is out of order, even when the stairs seem endless, and even when I feel like I can’t go on, there’s always something to be grateful for. And I think that’s the key to navigating life with a positive mindset—focusing on the love, the laughter, and the simple joys that come with every day.

So, as we wrap up today’s adventures, I’m reminded of just how blessed we are. Sure, we may be living on the second floor without an elevator, but we’re also living with laughter, with love, and with the knowledge that we’re exactly where we need to be. And that, my friends, is more than enough.
