PREGNANCY UPDATE SINCE THE QUESTIONS HAVE BEGUN A’ROLLIN IN 😂😂😂 how I’m doing summed up in a photo 😳😂

1. My due date WAS oct 22 according to my dates but then was switched to the 28th due to babies size at an ultrasound back when. That puts me at 38+2 or 39+2 depending on how you look at it....

2. Mentally the 22nd sounds better so sometimes I say that. Other times I say the 28th depending on how I feel in the moment. Either way.

Here’s the dealio: The baby doesn’t care. She has a date that she will send a little hormone through the placenta and my body will go into labor. *repeats to self*

3. Goin with the ol home birth route, I won’t get checked or know progress really until I’m in active labor at which point I may or may not be checked so really I have no idea 😂

4. I’m literally surrounded by the best team! They are all about safety so if you have worries or concerns about the safety of this, know that they are epic and awesome and I’m 100% okay with a hospital transfer if that needs to happen. They are trained and very well equipped and I trust them 💞

5. I’m in a weird space of holding on, knowing that it could be a while longer even though the pressure is real and my mind is tired from the intensity of focus. Every time I get a contraction I beg my body to give it to me stronger 😂😂

That’s all for now! 😂👏🏻

ANNIVERSARY DATE 💞 with my lover boy @scrubship

ANNIVERSARY DATE 💞 with my lover boy @scrubshipley thanks to both of our parents for making it happen and having the kids tonight 😂👍

We started off the afternoon with a ~7 mile bike ride on a trail, went to a thrift store where I found a Wonder Woman poster, totally bought it for my office because #serendipity (I’ll explain later), and then wrapped it up with my absolute favorite meal from @cafegratitudekc - ZESTY. WHOLE. COOL. OH, and I tried a rose water lemonade which was 👏🏻slow clap worthy 👏🏻

Made it home just in time to give hugs before bedtime...

8 years. The most beautiful, transformational, and powerful relationship in my life.

I remember on our honeymoon before I discovered my allergic reaction to mangos (lol I’ll tell that story another time!) we talked with a man on the plane that said if we could get through year 7, we could get through anything. We looked at each other in this “game on” kinda way. Tbh, year 7 has been beautiful. Basic. Monotonous in a lot of ways. Like, buys 4 chickens and builds a coop, plants a garden, gets accidentally pregnant, survival mode, experiences a weird pandemic, decides to homeschooled kids, lots of laundry kind of way. But also magical and filled with those moments of “this season is not joking but Ily” 💞💞

Thanks for buying me an ice ice machine, baby 😜

I go from feeling like she’s weeks away to feeling like we have days left. The last few weeks is such a mental war zone because you want to be prepared, but not obsessed about when. And then when it gets real (the pressure, the aches, the pains, etc) and it still could be weeks, it’s hard not to cry. 😭😂🙏 I am so thankful to be kinda tucked away with my family, not engaging much with “the outside world”, painting pumpkins, cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, gathering leaves, chiropractor and massage, going to the park, just really savoring this time and allowing myself to just “be” with no expectations of schedule ❤️💞💞

Hard to believe this boy is 2. Love him so much 💞

Don’t mind me just sitting here weeping because my baby is turning 2 in 2 days and in who knows how many few days / weeks he will not be my baby baby anymore... big brother status about to start. I can’t even 😭❤️ my heart feels like it’s going to explode right now.

Everything about Mack is what I want to be more of. Honest in emotion, silly and fun, entertaining and joyful, focused and present. Loving and kind.

Even in his current ballistic screaming phase I find myself admiring his tenacity.

❤️ if you need me I’ll be here crying tears of gratitude for everything he is to me #macksolomonshipley

When the color you picked on the dip swatch doesn’t match what ended up drying !!! 😂😂😂 oh whale , it’s chiefs colors 😜

HOMESCHOOLING PERCEPTION VS (swipe for) REALITY 😂😂😂

Today lennon and I started off strong and about 5 minutes in I got hit with a wave of exhaustion that I cannot even explain. Thankfully my “support system” thought it would be hysterical to take a photo 😂😂😂 I’m so glad they did. #homeschoollife #homeschooling #homeschool

Last night this beauty did something crazy and scored herself a big ol case of oils worth $2k. FOR FREE. She hit the halfway point on a huge rank and honestly, I’m not surprised but I am in awe. @consciousmama_ and I met here on the gram 😂 and her sweet precious son River was a newborn. She worked her business just like she mothered her son, with intuition, tenacity, commitment, and hard work. I remember strategizing with my husband one night and saying “honestly I feel like Gina has it all. There’s not one thing she’s missing”. Many of you have followed Gina’s journey through the past few months as she’s suffered the unexplainable loss of her beautiful 2 year old Son. He was and is so special. He was etherial even on earth. He always had a glisten in his eyes that was so rare it only makes sense that it was eternal. Rivers loss will never be forgotten because River will never be forgotten. Instead, he will be remembered and honored for being a guiding light to his mama. He birthed in her something that is only explainable by the eternal. And while we mourn, we celebrate her tenacity. Her hard work. Her commitment. All of it 💞 I love you Gina. I’m so thankful to be your friend and business partner. To the top and along the way xoxoxo

Well, it’s pretty remarkable to believe that this girl has hit Gold! I’ll never forget the first time my phone alerted me of a “first time enroller” names Whitney Kregar and I had this strong intuition to reach out. I can’t explain it other than the name was special so I sent her a voice text 😂 having never talked to her before. She was enrolled by @wherehomesteadmeetshappy so of course I knew she was taken care of but I couldn’t help but congratulate her personally! She caught the vision for the business and quickly ranked to Silver. She won a case of oils from our upline for being a boss and did it all with a little tiny baby girl in her lap. There were a lot of days in between then and yesterday that this girl showed up even when it was the furthest thing from convenient. Through pregnancies, babies, sleepless nights, husband gone to work, other commitments, and an agenda that a lot of people honestly wouldn’t be able to handle, she’s held the vision the whole time. I knew this was just a matter of time, but to see that gold G by her name was so incredible. If you know you know 😜😂. Not only that, but the thing that sets Whitney apart to me is the fact that she gives to everyone. Not just people in her team, but she gives to everyone. I’ve sat with her on our playroom floor and watched her pour into my mom long before my mom was “a somebody” in our company 💞 gosh I’m just so proud of this girl and I wanted to shout it from the rooftops. To be in it together with her is a true honor. 💞💞💞💞

Last night before we went to sleep I was talking m

Last night before we went to sleep I was talking my husbands ear off *like I do* 🤪💁🏻‍♀️ about all the things and I said “I really want to mix it up for Moses”. I told him how I feel like he’s in a new phase and needs more time and can handle more “you do this while I do this, but we are still together” activities. So I decided to see how I felt this morning before inviting him on my Tuesday morning trek. From a live video in my car to the coffee shop for a work sesh before chiro! He did his math in the car quietly while I did my @diamondworkbook live and he totally rocked it. Stayed consistent, focused, quiet, etc. then we went in the coffee shop and worked on phonics/reading/writing and of course he got a treat. We had so much fun at one point I think we were annoying the table next to us 😂 we finished up his lesson and then I told him he could play on his tablet for a bit while I did a few things - and I kept peeking over my computer and getting teared up. Truly, these are the best days of my life. Getting to be with him and there for him and also find a way to make my thing work, gosh. I just kinda feel like I hit the jackpot. ❤️

Can’t explain to you how magical each of these women is in their own way in a photo, but I will just leave it at this: get into our clan and they will love you. Encourage you. Pump you up. Hug you. They’ll even suffer through a night of “had an allergic reaction to a toxic cleaner and and am snorting, snorting, peeing, coughing at midnight” with you and not even be mean about the fact that you kept the whole cabin up #justsaying

💞💞 it’s more than oils. Oils are amazing but it’s more than oils.

Have you ever done an insta story and your spouse

Have you ever done an insta story and your spouse is watching it and you feel this weird like “turn it off until I leave the room” feeling? Or you hear your own voice on camera and you’re like 🧐 “is that really how I sound? Turn it off!!!”

Yesterday the virtual Diamond Bound day kicked off with my session and we watched it at our watch party. It was a huge practice in vulnerability to sit there, with my team, all watching me on screen.

I knew it would be kinda weird and uncomfortable but I had already decided to just lean into it so when it came on I just decided to embrace every feeling I had.

I decided Not run from it and get snacks set up, or drinks made, but actually sit there, watch myself, and take in the weirdness.

By the middle of it, I had gotten comfortable WITH being uncomfortable.

And here’s the thing, in the process I realized we cannot give to OTHERS when we are thinking about ourselves. 😳💣

Because analyzing my significance makes my focus on me instead of the incredible people around me and the connection we experience.

Wishing us all contribution over significance. 💞

HAI FROM THE MINIVAN - 6 funny thoughts for the fi

HAI FROM THE MINIVAN - 6 funny thoughts for the first day of fall 🍁
1️⃣If you haven’t tried @whistlestopcoffee BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE COFFEE yet, are you really living your best life?

2️⃣The best conversationalists are generally interested in just about everything. Interested IS interesting 😮

3️⃣ I take kids vitamins and honestly, I think we all should. They taste like candy so it’s easier to remember.

4️⃣ What would it look like to spend the next 30 days making your spouse a raving fan? 🤯

5️⃣Kids just shouldn’t skip naps. Literally nothing good has ever come from a child skipping their nap

6️⃣ @aldiusa really is the cheapest and best place to get good groceries these days. I keep trying other places and I always land back at aldi.

2/5 of the loves of my life.
