Tonight we watched the movie up and omg if that first 20 minutes doesn’t tear your heart right out of your chest.... 😭

There’s a point in the movie where the little boy says to the old man “That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.” And of course I had tears steaming down my face because #yup 💞 I hope you all feel that this week.

If you’re looking for a perfectly curated feed,

If you’re looking for a perfectly curated feed, someone who’s got their life together, I don’t know, clean minivans, I’m not gonna be your person ANDTHATSOKWITHME 😂👏🏻 I love following the cool moms whos babies sleep on white sheets, but I need to be straight up that like wicked on Broadway....” I’m not that girl”

Now DONT get me wrong,
I’ll throw on a filter bc it’s convenient and can cover up a sleepless night sometimes but please know that what you’ll get here is a 27 year old “omg how did I have 4 kids in the last 6 years”, squeezing my passion projects into the nooks and crannies of my day between diaper changes and breastfeeding, finding my sanity one sip of coffee at a time. And if you’re my type of people, let’s buckle in the crazy train because we are headed places 🚂

Also, do you have a mom friend who just totally gets you and can pop in and you 100% know you won’t be judged for the current state of your life? I am blessed with a few but My friend that comes to mind is @sarah.kathlene and I think we need to slow clap for those friends. Heck, it’s thanksgiving week. Thank them. Right now 😂👏🏻🙏😅

Shoutout to my aunt Lori who made me this recipe book and filled it with all the family recipes when I was 10ish years old! I use it all the time and even though it’s falling apart ~17 years later, it’s one of my favorite things! 💞💞

Errrkay let’s do something spontaneous and fun whatyasay 😅

If you:

➡️don’t want someone hounding you after you express a sliver of interest 😅 (I see you)

➡️will give me a review after it’s all said and done

I am making 5️⃣ custom “try me” packs of oils and oil infused things designed to fit the specific needs of 5️⃣ different people who don’t have a young living account yet. With the pack you’ll get a custom “daily protocol” to try for 5 days.

If you’re interested in being one of the testers, drop your favorite Christmas emoji below!

Sorry for all the sappiness I’m about to write b

Sorry for all the sappiness I’m about to write but after all I am I wing 4 and my expression has to come out somewhere.

Adventuring with this guy since 2009 and I can honestly say it’s one of the best things in my life. A constant source of encouragement, a place to grow, and even tonight when I had to apologize for a dumb thing I said earlier in a moment of arrogance, what I got in return was acceptance.

I feel like the acronym iykyk could summarize how I feel about it all...

Not sure what else there is to say except a big walk outside and a gaze to the starry sky to cry a “thank you for the opportunity to experience this.”

I plan on having such a fun day. What will I do? I

I plan on having such a fun day. What will I do? I don’t know. Maybe throw some caution to the wind and have coffee just because. Maybe I’ll take a walk. Maybe I’ll donate 100 items to goodwill and declutter my house. Maybe I’ll go buy myself some long sleeve Tshirt’s! MAYBE I’ll put my house on the market and move off grid. Who knows. It’ll be a great day. 🤣💞 what are you doing today that makes you say “yay”?

Avalon Joan, you’re the little caboose we didn’t know we needed. My little snuggle buddy, you have flipped my year upside down. To have you finally here outside of me is such a relief and a joy. I’m falling more in love with your little self every day. I cannot believe there was a time without you! You are so loved and adored by us all. Welcome to the crazy town, little sissy.

#mosesjordanshipley , I simply cannot think of a b

#mosesjordanshipley , I simply cannot think of a better leader for the crew. Your dad and I have you in our conversations almost nightly... we are simply amazed at the boy you are. I know you’ll never understand our love for you until maybe one day you have kids, but it’s unconditional. You make it fun, handsome man. You make it so fun.

#lennonjaneshipley , I’m not sure how you grew u

#lennonjaneshipley , I’m not sure how you grew up ten years this month but it has me in awe. You are beautiful and smart and bold. You are a good friend and a kind sister. You have so much spazz about you. You are tender hearted. I’m so thankful to be your mama.

6 years ago plus a few weeks I dove into this care

6 years ago plus a few weeks I dove into this career and the great thing about me is I’m pretty naive so i actually believed I could succeed 🤣💞. Numbers weren’t my strong suit 🤣 (thx mom 💞) but I was willing to learn.
21 years old. No college degree. Itty bitty babe. V busy husband.
This “awakening” changed my life.
The middle of the night nursing sessions started morphing into mama gets to study sessions. Nap time became mama chats online with babes time (napolian anyone?). Morning routines were filled with listening to personal development on the way to library time. It’s really hard to kind of synopsis the journey, but the humble beginnings won’t be lost on me. And I really don’t want to stop sharing it because I know there are more “me’s” out there.

Now here we are, 6 years and 3 more babies later and I’m working toward some massive goals. I’m still doing it with a baby in a wrap, a laptop on the counter,... I’m still doing it in the middle of the night during nursing sessions. I’m still doing it.
Even on the days when it wasn’t fun. Even in the months of epic momentum... or not. Even in 2020....

There’s still room at our table and I’ll always be patting the seat beside me welcoming you (and whoever else) wants to have a seat.

Ok must sleep now because baby is snoozing. Xoxoxo -B

I’ll never forget scheduling this shoot. 2 month

I’ll never forget scheduling this shoot. 2 months fresh off a #miscarriage and I had hoped so much to use it as a pregnancy announcement but my test was negative. It was just Eli and I.
Something in this shoot really helped me. Seeing the beauty of where we were at, just the two of us.

Yesterday for our family pictures, I kind of had the same moment. Recognizing the specialness of where we are at, embracing the season, seeing the wonder of the moment with the kids.

Life feels precious and I’m breathing that in right now.

Current life phase 🏆Overflowing laundry 🏆M

Current life phase
🏆Overflowing laundry
🏆Milk and sweat covering everything else
🏆Baby in the swing
🏆coffee from whistle stop because I haven’t made it to the store for creamer
🏆 Homeschooling 2 kids on the side of the camera frame

I’m committed to living from a place of inner peace and honestly, the chaos around me is overwhelming at times. Trying to keep Avalon’s skull safe from 2 year old Mack, trying to drink enough water and eat quality food to maintain my milk supply, trying to be available emotionally for Lennon who is going through some rare form and trying to be aware of Moses’ and his needs while I expect so much of him since he’s the oldest.

I am so thankful for all of it and it’s driving me into a deeper state of focus for my inner state.

Okay srsly gotta get to this laundry

Just popping in to say that 4 is a lot of kids 🤣

Gtg bye 👋🏻

When I found out I was having a(nother) girl, I kn

When I found out I was having a(nother) girl, I knew it was time. Time to figure out my own ish about my body and walk back into a journey of this mystical land of self love or acceptance or reframing or whatever it was that was blocking me from living in the fullness of every day triggered by the mirror. It sounds dramatic but it’s reality.

When I was 12 I grew fast and I was taller (and bigger) than my mom, the role model of beauty. Everyone told me how beautiful she was and I could see why... but I didn’t understand how I could ever attain it.

We have different body types, but I didn’t conceptualize that. I thought that if I ate like she ate, I could have a body like her. So I watched what she ate and I tried to eat the same way. FEELING hungry. FEELING upset. Turns out she doesn’t eat very much.

I can laugh about it now, but it also semi breaks my heart that the twelve year old me felt the need to deny myself a fun day-running around outside- for a day to focus on not eating.

Then I learned that pickles only had 5 calories and I decided if I only ate pickles for breakfast lunch and dinner I could probably lose 5 pounds in a week. Nobody knew.

So fast forward 15 years, I’m 27 and pregnant for the 7th time in 7 years ... soon to give birth to a beautiful baby girl and the lady at Target asks me if I’m having twins or triplets and my emotional response is actually 12 years old. TRIGGERED. I’m big. I am annoyed.

And that’s when I decided I’ve gotta get my ish together. Not to fix my body. Not to change my diet. Not to attempt something outward, but really find a frame in which to see my body that is mentally healthy and can set my daughters up for success.

I realized that I was trying to make my body an ornament. Something to ordain or something to dress up. Something to make pretty and feel worthy and whatever else. And I decided I don’t want to see it as an ornament because ornaments are just something you look at. I want my body to be an instrument. To love my spouse, to wrestle by babies,, to play dolls and to build things and to enjoy nature and really maximize my human experience. An instrument vs and ornament. + I hope my daughters do too.
