modernmix How did we get here so fast?!
I was looking at Jonah’s newborn photos the other day and still can’t believe we’re at the 4 month mark. Didn’t I just bring him into the world like yesterday?!
I love seeing his little personality unfold. He’s curious, open, and giggly with a sprinkle of stubborn. This stage in babyhood is my favorite—the constant looking around for mama (🍼), the snuggles, the leaps in development. There’s magic in all of it, even during those ordinary moments and long nights.
Happy 4 months, Jonah Bear 🐻
We can’t imagine life without you.

modernmix While we were in Germany this past trip, Daniel and I kept having flashbacks from when we brought Naomi to Frankfurt for the very first time.
She was so tiny and we were so tired and clueless...the imprint of parenthood still fresh on our hearts. 💕
Fast forward 5 years later and we’re still tired (😏), a little wiser, and feeling grateful to have given Jonah the same “homecoming”.
This season of parenthood always reminds me that the days are long but the years are short. I’m going to try my hardest to hold memories from both trips close to my heart, but in case I ever forget, I’ll have these photographs to remind me of our early days spent trekking around the world with our little babies.

modernmix Year 33! 🎉 🎂 🥂
Call me crazy but I actually enjoy growing older. 🙈 I’ve always appreciated the ritual of celebrating my personal growth and evolution. ✨
So far, I’ve spent the day exactly how I imagined—doing the things I love surrounded by my favorite people. No fuss, or extravagant plans. Just an easy going day with plenty of time dedicated to reflecting on the past year and planning for the next.
I have a feeling year 33 is going to be a good one.
PS: I found out I was expecting on my birthday last year (best birthday gift!). Fast forward 365 days later and now I have the most delicious 3-month-old. Time flies and my heart couldn’t be fuller. 🤎

modernmix 2020 kicked off with an unexpected surprise. ✨
We’re featured on the January cover of @pdx_parent magazine!
The image is from a family photoshoot we did with @pdxkersten a while ago—before Jonah joined the family. It’s wild to look back and see how much we’ve grown.
I’ve been reading @pdxparent magazine for years—ever since we moved back to Portland with Naomi. I use it regularly to find parenting resources (pediatricians, summer camps, etc.) and interesting things to do in town with little ones.
If you’re in #Portland, make sure to grab a copy; page 30 has a fun idea for keeping kids busy during this rainy season. 🌧 👧🏽

modernmix If there’s one thing this renewed season of motherhood has taught me, it is the importance of flexibility—being able to bend in all of the directions life pulls me...without breaking.
And I’ll be the first to tell you, it ain’t easy.
I think it’s the sheer weight of motherhood that sometimes stops me in my tracks. I can deal with the exhaustion, but the tension of constantly being stretched, nudged, and pulled into circumstances that I always feel unprepared for? Those moments keep me up at night. This task of mothering—not just taking care of babies—but figuring out how to develop kind, empathetic humans can seem so overwhelming at times. What if I mess up? What happens if I don’t know how to fix a broken little heart?
I keep reminding myself that part of this journey is simply trying what I know best + digging deep down to push past my fears, slow down, and mother with confidence—even during those really tough and uncomfortable moments. But it can be so hard y’all and sometimes I don’t even know how or where to start.
When I’m in the thick of it—eyes heavy at 3:00 a.m. with my arms wrapped around a fussy baby—I think about all of the mothers and caretakers around the world who have been in the exact place. I find comfort in knowing that we share an unspoken connection. ✨
I share all of this to say that I know so many of you are working around the clock to nourish and raise our next generation. No matter what phase of parenthood you’re in, I want you to know that I see you, I’m right here with you, and whether you realize it or not, in ways big and small, you are creating comfort and joy at a time when this world needs it the most. 🤎

modernmix We’re home! 🏡
Leaving Germany was bittersweet but it felt good to be back in the states in time to ring in the new year + celebrate Jonah turning 3 months old. 🎉
We’re all still battling a bit of jet-lag, so we’ve been resting up, savoring the last bit of our holiday time together, and admiring baby brother’s new moves—he’s rolling over, grabbing anything in sight (including Naomi’s hair 🤣) and doing a whole lot of babbling/yelling.
Something tells me homeboy is going to be a handful. 😉

modernmix 2019 was a big year for us.
We stretched our hearts, minds (and for me, my body) to accommodate new growth. ✨
Over the past decade Daniel and I have been dreaming, planning and carving out space for the things we’ve wanted most in life. Our journey sometimes felt like what we wanted would never be within reach. It never occurred to me until now that perhaps all of those years helped us fully prepare for this year—2019 was the fertile soil we needed to fully bloom. 🌺
I’m not one to assign myself new year’s resolutions but I have set clear intentions to help me shape what I’d like 2020 to look and feel like: more openness, curiosity, authenticity, and adventure.
Here’s to another year (and decade!) of learning more about this crazy string of events we call...life.
Happy New Year, y’all. 🎊 🥂
modernmix Same traditions. Same house. Same papa. New baby.
Every trip we make to Germany includes a marathon of visiting family in different cities. Going to Daniel’s grandparents house brought up so many of his childhood memories + made us reminisce about the first time we brought Naomi here at 2-months-old.
Although his grandparents have passed on, we like to think they would have been happy to see Jonah spend his first Christmas gathering in the house they built nearly 50 years ago. ✨

modernmix Before we left for this trip, Daniel asked me what gift I wanted for the holidays. I honestly couldn’t think of a single thing—because for me, Christmas came early this year. All I’ve ever wanted is these two.

modernmix Frohe Weihnachten + Happy Holidays from Germany! 🎄
We celebrated Christmas the way we’ve done so many times over the last decade—the traditional German way (on the evening of the 24th) with a warm meal, cookies, hot tea, and a visit from the Weihnachtsmann (Santa Claus). Every year gets better as we add more traditions + rituals; and this year was particularly special since it was Jonah Bear’s 🐻 first Christmas. ✨
Now we’re winding down and I’m thinking about sneaking another glass of champagne to celebrate + reflect on this trip and our adventures ahead. 🥂
PS: Check out my Stories to see how we brightened up our Christmas tree for the Weihnachtsmann 🎅

modernmix We are excited to share that a fourth heartbeat has joined our little family. 💛
Baby Trummer #2 is expected to arrive in mid-September. 👶🏽 ✨
On the eve of Mother’s Day, I feel grateful to celebrate the sacred depths of motherhood—from raising and empowering our preschooler to preparing to push a tiny new life into this world. 💫
art direction + botanicals by the über talented @jengalan, photography by my love, @dyt069.
modernmix first day of #preschool for our kleine maus. 🐭
honestly, i'm a mix of emotions, but the feeling that outweighs them all is immense gratitude—for our tribe of supporters who've helped us from the hazy newborn days up to now. we cannot thank you enough for helping us journey through parenthood. that smile on her face is because of y'all. 💕

modernmix Today is baby’s due date; celebrating #40weeks pregnant!
I’ve been secretly hoping that baby would arrive a little early (I made it to 40 weeks + 1 day with Naomi), but I should have known that my little #virgo won’t be rushed. 😉
As the hours (and maybe days?) go by, I’m trying my best to stay in a place of deep gratitude—versus impatience. I am so ready to meet + snuggle this baby but understand how important it is for it to come on its own time and for me to trust the natural process.
Daniel’s mom arrived from Germany yesterday and my parents, friends, and coworkers have been checking on me daily. This journey has served as a beautiful reminder of how grateful and lucky we are for our village of kinfolk. ✨
Here’s to celebrating our final days as a family of three and hoping that baby decides to join us soon...

modernmix Guess who finally decided to make their debut? Our surprise baby *BOY* !!! 👶🏽
Jonah Daniel Yeguezou Trummer joined us earthside on October 2 at 12:53 p.m. Weighing in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. / 22 inches long.
He shares a birthday with his big sister Naomi (#birthdaytwins 🥳) and was born peacefully in the comforts of our own home. 🏡 ✨
There’s no other way to say it—he is the culmination of everything good in this world and the purest representation of our love. He’s our magic. We are so in love with this tiny human! 😍
A very heartfelt thank you to my amazing midwife + birth team at Glow Midwifery (@glowmidwifeangela) for facilitating the most supportive and empowering home birth. And to Daniel, my rock, who stayed by my side around the clock; and my mama, the most amazing doula! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and environment for bringing Jonah into the world.
After what felt like the longest 9+ month journey, we are all so excited to get to know our baby boy. 🥰

modernmix There’s nothing I love more than capturing those moments you never want to forget.
So when my friend Kati (@kdimoffphotography) offered to take Jonah’s newborn photos, I could hardly type “YES“ fast enough. I’ve admired her work for years and am in awe of her ability to capture the sweetest + most intimate moments so perfectly. ✨
I can still feel the atmosphere from that day—gorgeous autumn light poured into our living room, making it seem as if time stood still while we snuggled on our newest little love, Jonah Bear 🐻.
Documenting this time in our lives has been so important to me and I’m glad we have these photographs to remind of us of our growth.
Swipe to see more snapshots from our very first days as a crew of four. 👨👩👧👦 💕

modernmix it seems kind of unfitting to celebrate life when so many lives were lost this weekend. we feel extremely lucky to have woken up to wish our daughter a happy birthday—she turned three yesterday (🎉).
when darkness prevails, the tenderness of her heart is what keeps our hope alive—now more than ever.
happy 3rd birthday, naomi camilla! (🎊) we promise to do everything in our power to make this world a better place for your generation—y’all deserve so much better than the world we live in. #naomiturnsTHREE
