People often ask if Mazzy and Harlow ever fight. I guess based on the pics and videos I post, it seems like they are loving on each other 24/7. That is totally not the case.
Like most siblings, they fight, they annoy each other (intentionally and unintentionally), they vie for attention, they don’t want to share, they have different ideas about what they want to watch, play, eat, etc. or one might want the company of the other while the other one wants their space. I actually think the fighting has gotten a bit more frequent as they get older.
But they also continue to love each other and look out for each other in ways I never expected. They have a constant play mate and travel companion in one another. They sneak into each other’s beds, play dress-up, read together, hug and kiss daily and my favorite part— make each other lose their minds in fits of giggles and laughter all day long.
Their relationship is the best gift I have ever given anyone, including myself.
Below are 36 photos that perfectly capture Mazzy and Harlow’s relationship. They like each other. They hate each other. They LOVE LOVE LOVE each other.

Happy National Siblings Day, Mazzy and Harlow! I hope you are best friends for life, just like I am with my sister.
I love how sweet they are with each other. My kids are pretty the same (also 3 yrs apart and same age) except when they get into little fights because of not sharing and having different opinions. I also notice they get easily annoyed now as they get older, but nevertheless, they love each other so much! I think it’s a normal phase for kids this age and gap.
I loved looking at all these pictures! I think you perfectly captured the many aspects of their relationship!
My sister is 5.5 years younger than me and we are super close (we weren’t always growing up!). My daughter and son are only 16 1/2 months apart. I love watching their relationship grow (except the times when they drive me crazy because they push each other’s buttons!)
