  • Try not to let this staged photo of all these perfectly coordinated, posed children make you feel bad. It's just so effortless for us, you know?? 🤣🙈🤷🏻‍♀️Happy Sabbath from the craziest bunch of ragamuffins I know. What a privilege it is to mother them all. 💗 #motherhoodalive #HisDay
  • DATE NIGHT. I remember in our early years of marriage, we'd go on dates but they were never all that life-changing for us. Nice, for sure, but nothing crazy out of the ordinary. But now date night is my LIFELINE. I look forward to it like crazy. 3 hours of uninterrupted adult time?? That's as rare as a clean pair of underwear around here. (Swipe left to see the shenanigans we had to deal with in trying to get a shot alone 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️). #strongmarriage #dateyourspouse
  • I've really been focusing on eating clean lately (no sugar! 😱) and breakfast really does set the mood for the entire day. I mean, anyone else in the habit of eating salads after a breakfast of donuts?? 😂This homemade granola + fruit + @almondbreeze Almondmilk is still my fave. It's sweet but still good for me and keeps me full for hours, even with my nursing mom appetite. Are you an almondmilk fan for cereal or smoothies? Please share you healthy breakfast ideas!! 🙏🏻 #ad #DrinkToThat
  • GUYS! I'm taking my own advice and getting together with other lady-friends this week! I haven't done that in MONTHS but as luck would have it, two different groups of friends planned sthng on the same night 🤣 in other news- did you see the house we walked through on my stories today?? Thoughts? House hunting is hard!! 🤔🤔 http://liketk.it/2sMZH #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • Sunday outfit inspiration...2 days late #ThatsHowIRoll. In other news: I can show my face on the internet now! See my stories for a closeup - my scar is healing so well and I'm ridiculously grateful 🙏🏻💗(utility shirts and leopard pumps=fall perfection 👉🏻http://liketk.it/2sM3N) #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • We woke up to open-window weather (and it's not even October!) so we celebrated with a corduroy baby jumpsuit and chocolate chip pancakes 😍 #bringitfall Plus bonus points for all the festive orange hair we have over here!
  • I've been feeling lots of added pressure lately: pressure to be a great mom and teacher to my kids, pressure to be an attentive and loving wife, pressure to build a fulfilling and successful business, plus pressure from all the other mini-roles we mamas juggle All. The. Time. I think I let a lot of things go over the summer so life was a bit easier but with fall schedules and back to school, I'm ever so acutely aware of all the balls I'm dropping left and right. I just needed to share that so that every mom reading this knows that she is not alone! ———————————— We all feel like we're failing, at some point or another in our lives. And our jobs as moms aren't frivolous either- we're only responsible for the mental, physical and emotional well being of other mini human beings, that's all. 🤣😭🤦🏻‍♀️ But we are enough. We're gonna make it. Our kids might need therapy (who doesn't?!) and they might grow up with the habit of eating cereal for dinner, but they'll grow up. And we'll miss the chaos and all the responsibilities and wish that we could love on them while they're small just a little bit longer. So hang on, mamas. In our eyes we'll never be perfect, but in our kids' eyes, we can't get any better. 💗
  • Hey moms! So tell me truthfully: how often do you hang out with girlfriends without bringing along kids? Monthly? Annually? Decade-ly??? (Not a word) I just published a blog post about how you OWE yourself a girls date with lots of tips on how to make it happen. 💗 Promise me you'll give yourself permission to have fun away from the diapers!! 🙏🏻 ————————————— (P.S. this top is my favorite white tee to date and it's 50% off with an extra 25%! Plus it has pockets 😍) http://liketk.it/2sIIx #liketkit @liketoknow.it
