I was in my room doing laundry when I heard Crue choking. I dropped everything and ran—only to find that Luca had already stepped in and taken control. My 11-year-old didn’t hesitate. He stayed calm, acted fast, and got it out. And when Crue continued coughing, Luca immediately ran to grab the LifeVac—just in case. Thankfully, we didn’t have to use it. But just knowing we had it brought peace in a moment that could have gone very differently. Was every move textbook perfect? No. Sticking fingers in the mouth isn’t recommended — but this was his first time in a real emergency, and his instinct was to help his baby brother. And I couldn’t be prouder. We’ve talked through what to do differently next time. This moment changed something in me. Because sometimes… you’re not right there. Sometimes your child will need to know what to do. And sometimes a sibling will be the first responder. Teach them. Equip them. Practice with them. And always, always have a LifeVac on hand. Luca , I’ve never been more proud of you. You were his safe place in a moment of panic… and you reminded me just how important preparation truly is. #LifeVac #childsafety #MomOfBoys #proudmommoment #rawmotherhood #choking #chokingawareness #proudmom #momof4kids #oldestson #bigkid #theonewhomademeamom #sahmlife #postpartum #momlife #reallife #googlenest #fourthtrimester #googlehome #ditl #realityvsinstagram #dayinthelife #bigbrother #littlebrother #momsofinstagram #motherhood #motherhoodthroughinstagram #momtok

How the Hug button works 👇🏻 The Hug Button is a simple but meaningful way to help your little one feel safe and loved as they head off to school or daycare. Just draw a heart on your hand and theirs, hold hands to “charge” it up with love, and remind them that your heart is always with them, no matter where they go. Tell them if they feel sad or miss you while they’re at school, they can press the hug button or squeeze their hand and it will send a hug to you. Reassuring them that you’re always there with them. 🫶🏻 You can draw the heart on their hand, wrist or arm so it doesn’t wash off. Whatever works best for you and stays put throughout the day. #backtoschool #newmomtips #kindergarten #momblogger #momswhoblog #momof4 #momof4kids #firstdayofschool #hugbutton #momlife #postpartum #sahmlife #backtoschooltips #myheartiswithyou #momtips #momtipsandtricks #momsofinstagram #separationanxiety #anxiety #anxietyrelief #childhoodanxiety #hugbutton
