11 years ago he asked me to be his girlfriend. Now we have an amazing kid, dream jobs, we travel, help people, & make smiles happen. Up & down, through every season, I’ll be here, right next to you, hand in hand. You & me together... we can do anything, baby.
Husband brag: he really just did that and I’m so proud of him. Thank you
@DrLupo
for working so hard for our family and for those kids
@StJude
Can’t wait for
#BuildAgainstCancer
tomorrow!!!
Recently Charlie asked me why people are bullies bc he’s getting bullied for being small. I told him bc ppl are sad & want others to be too or they were never taught. For a 4yo to be so painfully aware to negativity breaks my heart. So please, do better today, world... I beg you.
This guy received an award tonight for Content Creator of the Year from St Jude. I couldn’t be more proud of the hard work he put into the last 4 years of fundraising. And thank you to all that have donated, as this award is because of your generosity and trust in us. ❤️💜
Hey
@Ninja
and
@timthetatman
Charlie just told me he’s happy his friends talked to him on daddy’s computer. Thanks for making this boy feel better. Back to watching Paw Patrol!
In response to
@drlupo
photo from college and everyone saying he hasn’t aged. These pictures are almost 12 years apart. Our first time hanging out at a party in 2007 and last month at St Jude in 2019! 😍
To the man that works so hard for our family, who makes sure we’re happy before himself, who always catches naps during movie time... happy birthday
@DrLupo
. We love you so so so much. 🥰
So proud of this little man. He did amazing and was brave. And of course he charmed all the doctors and nurses. And now a message from Charlie:

12 years ago tonight
@DrLupo
and I became friends on Facebook and started talking. In a couple weeks he will have asked me to be his girlfriend. That is all.
Staying home to be a mama vs going on all of
@DrLupo
trips is a hard choice. I wish I could see my friends and experience things, but this dude isn’t a bad alternative. He was ecstatic that I brought home a Kit Kat as a treat today so we learned the song. ❤️ He almost got it. 😝
Sweetest boy turns 4 today! He’s no longer a baby, no longer a toddler... he’s a kid. A KID! And he’s incredibly smart, very funny, witty, and sweet. I can’t believe we get to be his parents. 😍
"You really like me, don't you
And I really like you back
And you like me back
And I like you back
And that's the way we keep on going
Every day."
Happy anniversary, my love
@DrLupo
THIRTEEN years ago my story with
@DrLupo
started... we became friends on Facebook and started talking. Ups, downs, and everything between. I wouldn’t change a thing. Love you
Happy Father’s Day to this guy,
@drlupo
He is handsome, talented, caring, hard working, and does everything he can to make sure Charlie and I have anything we need. We love you! 🔺
I never knew I could unconditionally love something so much. We spent all day long together & while it was very tiring, it was a lot of fun. He asked why Mommy was always tired & after explaining a bug bit me & gave me sleepies he played quietly next to me as I napped. I love him
When streaming became a thing for us we made a promise to do 3 things. 1-take care of our kid 2-take care of our family 3-take care of the world. I’m so proud of you
@DrLupo
Now that
#BuildAgainstCancer
is over,
@DrLupo
is sleeping. Charlie & I are downstairs watching a movie so we can be quiet. Thank you all for your support, encouragement, & donations. As a community WE did this. We are part of something bigger. We have helped cure kids
@StJude
💚
This was taken 7 years ago. And it’s always been a favorite of mine. Holding the bottom of his shirt is a comfort thing for me and forehead kisses calm me. Love you
@DrLupo
. That’s all. 💚
This guy is my best friend, my partner, my love. I’m so happy to be experiencing life with him. I’m so glad Charlie has a daddy like him. I’m so grateful I have someone to love me like he does.
Today I found out I have Lyme Disease. For over 2yrs I have been dealing with high fatigue & the constant desire to sleep. I went to a doctor & was given a very vague diagnosis. Nothing changed. I went to see someone new & after 10 vials of blood & 2 weeks of tests
Listening to the
#FortniteWorldCup
stream on the way home and Charlie hears them talking about
@TTfue
&
@cloakzy
and instantly asks, “are they talking about my friend, Cloak?” 😍😍😍 You have a fan, Cloak!
Talking to Charlie about covid, he came up with the idea to make a medicine with a higher attack power than the virus that we take now so if the virus finds us we’re protected... when I told him people were trying to make one he said “good, bc I don’t know how to” 😭😭😭
Last night Charlie jump scared me for the first time without any help. My life-span will drastically shorten from this point forward. I don’t look forward to the shenanigans he and
@DrLupo
will get up to.
Once a week we have a few hours to escape from everything and focus on us. If it wasn’t for these nights, whether they’re at home or out, I know we would not be energized to keep pushing for our dreams. This guy keeps me sane. ❤️
It’s not often that we’re apart, so for him to be on the other side of the world, I’m a hot mess. This morning I sat in my car & felt like I was missing something-my camera bag &... my kid. He was standing waiting for me to open the door. I’ll get it together soon enough. 😝
"If you find two four-leaf clovers
You give me one
If I find four
I give you two
If we only find three
We keep on looking
Sometimes we have good luck
And sometimes we don't"
10 years. Good luck & bad luck, I'm ever so glad it's with you. 💚
Happy birthday, Charlie! Today you are 3 & the sweetest boy. You are so smart & explain things in a way that I would never think of but totally make sense! It’s hard to imagine you as that tiny little baby any more. You are everything I imagined & I’m so happy to be your mommy.
Charlie has been sick and last night while rubbing his back at 1am I called him “baby” like I always say to him and
@DrLupo
. He grunted and said “don’t call me baby anymore, it’s a bad word. I’m a big boy, mommy.” 😭😭😭
From sitting on the floor using our coffee table to play off w/no facecam while Charlie slept on the couch to... traveling all around, playing for thousands, raising a ton of money for charity, & shoutcasting
@FortniteGame
this weekend... We're so proud of you
@DrLupoOnTwitch
😍
This dude… he’s amazing. After talking to him about everything he chose to get the vaccine. First shot down and a car to celebrate. He keeps saying “I’m so proud of myself”💚💚💚
I got my booster too & thanks to the guy that gave us shots who knew who we were for being awesome!
SIX! Charlie wants to be a rocket scientist or roboticist, loves green, reading chapter books, & playing video games. And honestly, just an amazing kid. 🎈 happy birthday Charlie!
We have a lot of nicknames for Charlie. Recently I’ve been calling him Charlie Warlie when he’s being silly. Today I asked him a question and he turns around with a smile and says, “yes, Samantha?!” 😫😫
Instead of seeing santa we go get donuts, then go see reindeer at the local plant nursery. Normally we pick up a wreath but this year decided to add to our plant family so Charlie picked out this heart succulent. ❤️
Less than 20 mins after waking up Charlie told me I’m annoying him & covered my mouth. Then he made a card with
@DrLupo
& now I’m annoying again.
Honestly though, happy Mother’s day to all the moms, second moms, soon to be moms, and those wanting to be moms. You’re not annoying.
After a rough time talking to Charlie about feeling bullied, having his cousin come visit was just what he needed.
Charlie just wants to be friends with everyone and I’m so glad he has a small group of kids that he can count on. 💚 Quality over quantity, buddy.
Charlie’s bday party was a success!! This sweet boy asked for a rainbow bday cake and the clouds were filled with rainbow colors! 🌈 9 days till he turns 4!
Being a parent is hard. It's the hardest adventure I've ever embarked on. I'm not always great at it, most days I'm just above good. It's tiresome & emotional. But, the one thing that isn't hard is loving that kid more than my own life. Every child deserves love & respect, period
So because I follow and have met
@marshmellomusic
, Charlie thinks we’re best friends and believes that he’s actually a marshmellow and amazed people don’t eat him. 🙃
Tarkov is not the game for me. My hands and arms are numb from stress and my Lyme flareup... but you know what... I can deal with weak limbs for a day if it means that kids
@StJude
can have another day to kick cancer in the face. 💚🥰
Happy Father’s Day
@DrLupo
. Thank you for showing our son what hard work and kindness is, that it’s ok to admit mistakes and show emotion, that so much can be solved with hugs, and that he can do great things. We love you. Now… go raise money for St Jude! 🥰
Not sure how to share the first day of our trip… charlie getting to sit in the pilot seat of a plane, touching the ocean for the first time, or getting to meet and talk to real astronauts. All I have to say is I’m so grateful we get to share this with him. He’s the greatest kid.
We might not get to respond to every message, but know we see them all & appreciate all the love, support, & understanding we are receiving. Do me a favor-go hug someone today. Call your parents. Send a text to a friend you haven’t seen in a while. You don’t always have tomorrow
This spring Im taking my bff to Hawaii, just the two of us. She’s been with me through everything. 💕
But... it wouldn’t be without
@DrLupo
intense hardwork that this could happen. He has created a career & life for us that we get to do together & he’s my idol. Thank you, love.
