We played the license plate game on our drive to Y

We played the license plate game on our drive to Yellowstone and saw 35 of the 50 states. 🇺🇸 Mostly RVs, minivans packed with suitcases, SUVs full of families. Covid has been tough, there’s no doubt but what’s apparent is people have gone back to what’s important. Family. ❤️ Families picnicking on grass patches in nature, siblings bickering from being together for weeks on end, disheveled clothes on kids, messy hair under baseball caps and then loading back in the car and on to the next stop. It’s the reality of constant family time, making the most of a summer while staying healthy and the lifetime of (mostly 🤪) amazing memories made during such a weird time. 🏔🛶🚌 I have been stretched, exhausted and changed because of it but this time with my kids is so VERY worth it. The longest pause my life will ever experience......or so I think. 😂🤣

Howdy 👋🏻 from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Enjoying what will more-than-likely be our only vacation of 2020. 😆 The fresh air and acres of social-distancing comes naturally around these parts. Now, if I could just figure out how to empty these kids of their energy each day. 🤔🙏🏻🤣

Sometimes you just need a break. A break from work

Sometimes you just need a break. A break from work, a break from parenting, a break from social media, a break from the news....just space to clear your mind. 🌬🌟 The last few weeks I have posted less, scrolled less & focused on what’s right in front of me more. What’s funny is it’s never on purpose because social media doesn’t rule my world. I just feel when it’s time to pick up my phone and when it’s time to put it down. 👍🏻 Our algorithms should be ruled our hearts not by an app. 💗🙌🏻

When you were first born everyone told me “it go

When you were first born everyone told me “it goes so fast, enjoy him that little.” But it felt like those weeks, days and hours ticked by. 💗 Long days of learning motherhood, longer nights of learning a baby and all the feeding/sleeping/working schedules in-between. But here we are, A VERY FAST 8 years later, celebrating your 8th birthday. 🌟 Now when they say “it goes fast” I reply “it already has.” 💗 Roman, you are one of the greatest things to ever happen to me. I can’t explain how proud I am to be your mom. God has given you so many gifts and I am so honored to have a front row seat to watch who you grow to become. I love you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 8 IS GREAT!!! 🎉🎈

He turns 8 this week. So I’m taking in all the little kid that’s left and celebrating the big kid he’s becoming. 🙏🏻 Honored to have a front row seat to watch you grow up Roman. And no, you’re not almost as tall as me. 😆😬🙌🏻 For now. 💗

Hi 👋🏻 it’s me, pretending that going on vacation with three kids is easy but as you prob know, it’s not.

There are times in the day when all I want to do is sit on this patio and read my book but I can’t let them (mostly the youngest) out of my sight. 💗 There are times taking a nice quiet walk amongst the trees looks so inviting but my boys are trying to see which can toot on-demand (can’t make it up people) and then there are times I want to eat a dinner alone with my hubby to just talk, about anything. 🌟

There are times I wish the days were quieter, calmer and more still but it achieve that my kids wouldn’t be, well, kids. So, I drink my second cup of coffee, lean into the chaos and shift my perspective to actually soak it all in. ☺️ And then place a quick call to the grandparents to see what they are up to this week. 😉🙏🏻
