Finnegan and the Hughes Finding Joy in The Everyday! A blog about me, my family, reviews and social good campaigns. About Me…..I met my husband at college.
(3)

We were great friends for many years and when I escaped working in New York City for a new life in Philadelphia we started dating right away. We have two human children and Finnegan our 5 year old Australian Shepherd and really more like a third child than a dog. All of our children love to sleep in our bed!! I am a dedicated volunteer for the Preeclampsia Foundation since I spent 3 days in ICU af

ter Hayley was born suffering from postpartum preeclampsia-YES it CAN happen postpartum!!! I am also a United Nations Foundation Shot@Life Champion trying to help get life-saving vaccines where they are most needed in the world! When I am not working I spend every moment I can with my children. Once they were born I felt I finally knew exactly what I was meant to do with my life…be their mother AND do my part to make the world a better place for their future.

Oh this got me!!!!
19/02/2023

Oh this got me!!!!

"Someday, they’re going to ask me.
“What was it like, mama?”
“How did you do it, mama?”
“Will I always be tired, mama?”
“Is it worth it, mama?”

And these are the things I will say.

The nights lacked sleep and restoration,
but they were rich with holy surrender.

My body lost shape and figure,
but my heart reoriented itself with bittersweet clarity.

Our bed was rarely empty,
but I never wished your tiny warmth away.

I longed for the peace after bedtime,
but I missed you once you slept.

I hated watching the dimpled hands disappear,
but I loved watching you become who you are.

It was noisy, so noisy, so often,
but the stolen silences were ripe with your absence.

It was so easy to lose sight of your father,
but we fought hard for us, and I hope you noticed.

The mid afternoon hours stretched for an eternity,
but I watched years go by in one deep exhale.

I danced between work and home,
but you loved me without regard for time.

I once marveled at the waters and the mountains,
but then I wondered at the mystery of you instead.

It was hard, so very hard,
But the joy lacked reason, limits, confines.

I could never make sense of any of it,
But I’ve loved you immeasurably in all of it.

Someday, they’re going to ask me.
And these are the things I will say."

Our Story

Finnegan and The Hughes started about 6 years ago when I started telling stories about my children, Hayley, Derek and out furry guy Finnegan. The blog name came about because we really felt like it was Finnegan’s world and we were all just living in it, he was such a lovable boss!! Sadly, we lost our dear sweet guy in June due to lymphoma and we are just trying to pick up the pieces of our hearts that were left shattered.

I am trying to get back to the blog, back to sharing our adventures, our finds and fun happy things that happen in life. It’s just been hard.
