#ZYRTECPartner I’m a mom to adventurous boys who love the outdoors as much as I do! Living on a farm means plenty of fresh air and wide-open spaces, but it also means dealing with hay fever season.

Having fun on #springbreak doesn’t have to break the bank! @wekiwa.springs.state.park has been our favorite State Park to visit thus far! The entrance fee was just $6. The water is clear and stays a comfy 72 degrees year round. The boys loved it! If you ever visit the Orlando area you must check it out!

Dear black girl, no matter what they say you are country too! You deserve the pace of the dormant trees resting in winter, the blossoms opening up to a peaceful ☺️ spring, shadows dancing through the leaves as you gaze upward on a hot summer’s day, and all the abundant harvest of fall. Country is yours too ❤️❤️❤️ #countryliving #blackinfluencers #countrylife #countryliving #slowdown
It’s been 1 year since we moved to the countryside and it’s been amazing! If you feel a call to nature and a slower pace of living follow it! We drove through our current town for years praying and hoping to be able to move here one day and it still feels like a dream ✨❤️✨. As 2024 approaches, know that dreams come true! #pnw #pnwliving🌲 #pnwonderland #countrylife #countryliving
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!! May this season bring you love, joy and peace. 🎁🎄❤️💫 Taking our own holiday photos is always tricky…so glad hubby has great photography skills and patience with us 😂🤣. We used a timer and it’s pure comedy to see us try to capture ourselves. One day I have to post bloopers. Lol For our outfits — I loved this sparky dress from @renttherunway and used it as reference when I went shopping for the boys’ suits from @kgfashion . I literally took it to the store with me and made sure that our colors matched! Have you tried to do your own family photo shoot before?
Confession. I thought that I’d have holiday decor together by now but, lo and behold, I’m still toying between a live 🌲 or artificial tree. The lights on the artificial one we have stopped working and the kind farmer that allowed me to frolic around his Christmas tree farm had me thinking about the need to support local farmers. What are your thoughts? Are you team real or artificial 🎄 Christmas tree? #holidaydecor #seattleblogger
Grateful, thankful, blessed! Happy thanksgiving 🍁 from our family to yours! May you have a day full of great food, laughter and the love of family!! #happythanksgivingyall
Honestly, I use to strongly dislike fall 🍂… I’m embracing it this year though! Nature going to sleep would make me sad — but it’s a gentle reminder for us to also slow down and rejuvenate 🌼. We can’t always be producing! Have a restful weekend! Blessing your timeline with a little fall farm girl chic 🍁 Top - @hm Skirt - @hm Sweater - @hm Boots - @nordstrom PC camera 📸: My Sons
Something had to give! As a wife, mom, friend, full time worker, content creator, gardener, speaker, cook and lover of hosting… my husband made the call! He said, “babe, I’m calling the cleaners and they are coming twice per month”! I didn’t even put up a fight 😂. This smile is because a huge part of what disturbs my soul is outsourced. This holiday season, remember to outsource the thing that irks you! It’s almost 2024 and we’re no longer holding ourselves to impossible standards! It will open a whole new world and allow you to fully show up as the best version of yourself! What are you outsourcing this holiday season? #momlife #momadvice #blackmotherhood
This is your sign to hire your friends to help you with what they’re good at! Thanks so much @tay.mariiee_ 🤎🤎🤎! Frames are from @homegoods
Between the stress of school opening uncertainty, a whole pandemic, financial strain, being quarantined together for almost a year, working with kids at home etc. -- there is enough to rock your marriage boat. We try to make some time to take our eyes off of the present difficulties of 2020 and think about where we'd like to live in the future, what we hope to accomplish for our kids, future businesses we'd like to start and places we'd like to visit. and I quit my full time job during the pandemic (because it was entirely too much with 4 kids at home) and started working part time in addition to blogging. To continue to feed the dreamer in me we always think about things that we can save up for and to feed the planner in him we try to give every dollar a purpose--budgeting spending for me...because you're girl has to spend!
When visiting we recommend staying close to the west entrance! The Midway Geyser basin is where you'd find the beautiful rainbow colored Grand Prismatic Basin. It's close to Grand Teton National Park -- you literally drive from one park straight into another. It's close to Grand Teton National Park -- you literally drive from one park straight into another.
So far we've visited 5 National Parks and Grand Teton is my personal favorite!!! The best way to see everything at Grand Teton is to drive the 42 mile scenic drive. Close to Moran Junction is also the Cunningham Cabin Historic Site. This little cabin has a small creek and the kids loved playing in the creek and observing the historic carpentry of the cabin.
