In salt lake, leaving for the airport (32 miles / 56 minutes) away at 5am to get back home to my man and our babies… if you will, say a prayer for me because I’m feeling very nervous about driving in the snow and ice 🙏🙏

True story. I have the absolute sweetest neighbor

True story. I have the absolute sweetest neighbor in the world, and she dropped by the other day to give us some honey from her bees. I had been out hunting and had just walked in the door when I realized my house was an absolute disaster, and there was no “Stuff this in the closet” opportunity. Eli, god bless him, isn’t the worlds most attentive parent when it comes to managing the house if I’m gone 😅😅

I don’t know where it came from to care so much about looking like I have a perfect home but I think it is nestled in my upbringing somewhere. Maybe it’s an inadequacy around what I think a “good mom” (🙄) looks like… Either way. I decided not to say anything about it and just talk to her instead. I decided not to let my brain think about what she might be thinking and instead tried to focus my energy on how she was doing as a person.

Did I succeed? Nah. I thought about what she thought 😅

It’s one thing to love living in a clean home (which I do) and it’s another thing to feel shame if I’m not living in a clean home and someone else sees it.

Something I’m personally working on and have zero tools to share other than “hey, if you’re feeling this way, me too” 😅😅

Went to a “meeting” the other day that ended up being a chat about the worst massages we ever had and how terrible and dumb we were in highschool and it was honestly chicken noodle soup for the soul. I texted my friend Katie and said “needed that” and meant it. Here’s your sign to get out and get together with some girls you like. Just for fun. ❤️

“And mom and dad can finally wait for school to start again” has a whole new meaning 😅

There came a point in my achievement, focused jour

There came a point in my achievement, focused journey that I broke down. My body before my mind, actually. I felt gutted and sad and lonely and scared. I didn’t think I could afford to have a breakdown. As my friend Erin said yesterday, “I know what comes as the price of a breakdown… what I have to pay for in terms of responsibility”

Thankfully my ego didn’t get a say in it and I truly believe what was underneath my sickness was my higher self saying “don’t forget to have fun, mama”…

And so began the journey of prioritizing my now moment. Funny thing, I tend to complicate things. Enjoy my now moment could also be called “romanticizing my own life” or prioritizing enjoyment.

I was tolerant of things that I shouldn’t have been tolerant of. I needed to honor my own values. I needed to SLOW THE HECK DOWN and take some deep breaths. And while kicking and screaming, forced to my knees by my body (THANK you!!!!!) I started undoing. My husband picked up the places that I couldn’t hold anymore. So is there a secret? Eh I don’t know.… I think it’s more a courage.

It’s been a crazy 3 years 🥹❤️
I wouldn’t trade a single day of it.

Well, maybe the one where we all got the stomach flu while living in the camper. But other than that… 😅

The idea came to me a few months ago when my nephew told me he wanted to be a professional athlete so that he could regularly fly in airplanes. I started researching prices of games and locations based on airline points. I booked it and decided to keep it a secret until the day before the game which FINALLY came today. Tomorrow morning we will head to denver for a core memory for these boys. I’m so excited to see the game with my sister and my son and nephew.

DONT WORRY… I will share their reaction. I’m so freaking excited. 🙈✨🔥

True story: 2 years ago I started sharing more aut

True story:
2 years ago I started sharing more authentically on social media. And the people who had previously applauded my “authenticity” all of a sudden weren’t so happy about it. You know why? They liked the version of me that fit them better. My personal growth surprised them. (And they didn’t see it as growth)

I lost followers and as an enneagram 3,
It bothered me.

I took those metrics as personal.

Then about a year ago I realized: I will find my people and they will find me if I stay committed to my values.

Connection. Abundance. Authenticity. Hope. Collaboration.

And it just so happens that I get to connect with moms who value the same things.

So here’s my question of the day: what’s one thing as a mom you think you do really well? 🔥 I want to hear.

Living here has been way better. I’m ok if they don’t love me.
