Hey mama, have you taken time to slow down today? The laundry and dishes can wait…when they are older what they’ll remember is whether they were loved unconditionally and all the little magical moments ❤️. Set the timer ⏲️ and quickly do household chores — then spend more time making memories!

When all else fails…just dump a bunch of seeds in the garden 🪴 girl! Something’s gonna grow! #polyculture is the agricultural practice of growing multiple crop species in the same space…this is much better that having rows of the same crop. Today I planted; Beets Lettuce Kale Beans Peas Flowers Onion Carrot Cucumber Celery Radish Basil Leek Cilantro Lemon balm Arugula
Being their mom is such an honor! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ They are brilliant, funny, talented, compassionate and hard working. I’m so incredibly grateful to be a boy mom! #happymothersday
#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. Thankful for Children’s ZYRTEC® from @walmart to keep us all enjoying nature’s beauty and adventures without the sniffles with 24-hour allergy relief! We are looking forward to gardening in the spring!! What are you looking forward to? Click the link in my bio to grab yours today! @walmart #ZYRTEC #ChildrensZYRTEC #allergies #allergyseason @zyrtecallergy
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!
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.
If you spoke out of prejudice, grabbed your purse when a black man walked by or passive aggressively did not invite your child's black friend to their birthday party admit to them that that action was wrong. We attend a predominantly black church and one of my best friends consistently came with her white family before relocating. Attend a church with a minority pastor, invite a black family over for a barbecue, or attend a ballgame of your child's friend of another ethnicity. I have friends that are white that point out racism and speak up for me and my family.
