Layering a Cable Knit Sweater with a Cargo Jacket

Utah has been giving us a run for our money recently! Some days are warm (for us) & sunny, others have us snowed in.

It’s not maternity, but I…

Instagram post 17867550271881341 Fireworks, family, friends, and food. Feeling incredibly grateful for the country that we live in & the freedom we enjoy. Hope you had a wonderful 4th! 💙🇺🇸❤️🎇
Instagram post 18143029306030264 This is 80. We split up some of the celebrations this week for my dad so we didn’t completely exhaust him. He played golf in Midway, got presents and cake one day, and dinner another. . I’ve been thinking about his life a lot recently. 80 years is a lot of time. I think about what he’s seen & lived through, the life lessons he’s learned, and what a softy he’s become in his old age. . He speaks slowly & a lot of what he is saying now is very simple. He will talk about different golf rounds, tournaments, and clubs. Years of football players, games and wins. While he loves talking about his favorite sports, he has stayed constant in teaching 2 things: loving God & loving others. . Everything is feeling heavy right now & I’m thankful to have been taught those 2 constants by him. Everyone is a child of God & He is the ultimate example of love. I believe that we can love more, show more kindness, listen more, & be open minded to learn what we don’t know.
Instagram post 17854909859021075 35 laps around the sun. ☀️ I spent the afternoon searching for bison with my family, taking pictures, & watching a beautiful sunset. It might seem like a funny tradition, but I love it & look forward to it for months. . 34 was a year of what I like to call “mini renovations.” I found a few projects that were asking for attention and have tried to make progress, mentally, emotionally, & physically. What I put into my body and the thoughts that cross my mind have been on the forefront & I’ve realized what a major role they play with my anxiety. I have a feeling it will be a long journey to learn to not let my thoughts control me, thanks to my sweet @organizedlife.coach for coaching me through it. I hope for this year to be even better with more small steps of progress, letting go of perfection & attempting to create helpful habits that will help me on the days where staying in bed sounds like the only option. . Thank you so much for the texts, messages and calls. I savored every moment, reflecting back on some beautiful relationships & am grateful for the gift that are these slow days.
Instagram post 17996211943288234 #ad Steve loves grilling and is finally teaching me the ropes! The first meal we made was a complete success thanks to @mccormickspice 2 ingredient, 2 step recipe! An added bonus was how easy it was to add this to my Walmart online grocery order and use grocery pickup here: https://bit.ly/WalmartGrillMates . I can’t wait for grilling season & eating more dinners outside with our family & hopefully soon, friends! #WalmartGrillMates #AvailableAtWalmart .

Season steaks generously with Steak Seasoning Grill steaks over med high heat for 6-8 minutes per side
Instagram post 17884886674576865 These days of lasts with this “baby” are fleeting. He’s getting taller & heavier & is such a yummy toddler. He has opinions & if he isn’t following Joe around, he’s on the heels of his dad. . We have said goodbye to binkies, bottles, diapers & I feel that naps are soon to follow. . While the baby years are so exhausting & beautiful & frustrating & you lose yourself being a mother, I see you. I’ve been there a few times. Just soak it up & keep hugging them tighter. I will take being their most important person as long as I can. 💙
Instagram post 18141592909006657 Out of all the hats I try to wear, nothing comes close to the role of being a mom. Motherhood is my favorite & it is by far the hardest, most challenging, stretches me in all directions & knocks me flat on my butt most days. They are my world and I feel so lucky to be theirs. And to my own mama who set the bar high for your most cherished role of being our mom by being at all of our games, sitting through every piano lesson, braiding hair, making meals and treats for everyone, & giving the Energizer bunny a run for his money, I love you and appreciate you.
Instagram post 18034492255252353 Yesterday we took a test on Pythagorean theorem & the distance formula, followed by learning how to find the volume of a cylinder. (crazy stuff) After every problem he (we) got right, we’d give each other knuckles with a letttttssssss goooo! 🎉 Then today I had to use my phone a friend to help explain the 4th grade Math to me. 🙈 . You win some, you lose some friends. You take 1 step forward and 3 steps back. Or in this case kill it at 7/8 Math & the next day take yourself back to elementary school. . I’m glad I told my mom I was sure I’d never need this stuff down the road.
Instagram post 18053221981235749 Let love grow. Let patience grow. Let relationships grow. Especially at this time where the worry & anxiety grows, let the good grow more than everything else. . Love that our neighborhood did a Chalk the Block a few days ago and I’m not going to lie, we spent a good amount of our afternoon on Pinterest for inspiration & I’m somehow committed to making dream catchers now. 🙈 It was an absolutely beautiful day. 💙
Instagram post 17938617475356896 I really wanted to laugh when Ty turned on the bidet & it shot me & went over my shoulder far past me into the bathroom, spraying the ceiling, the door, the wall. Bouncing off of my stomach onto every surface. Except I couldn’t laugh, I couldn’t hold a brave face like I’ve been trying to do for weeks. . I called Steve & once I heard his voice I couldn’t get out a cohesive sentence in between sobs. I’m trying to homeschool and do the job that 14 people were doing pretty well. I’m trying to keep a clean house and really missing the house cleaner that came occasionally to deep clean. I’m missing seeing people that fuel my need to connect. I’m attempting to work for a minute each day. I’m missing carpools to sports. I’m trying to teach normal household things to my kids, except nothing is normal right now. I’m missing the ordinary. . I’m just sad. Sad for my kids. Sad for my friends kids. Sad for high school seniors & college kids missing out on a fun season in their lives. I’m sad for people who were planning weddings, birthdays, and businesses planning events. I’m sad for people who have lost their jobs. I’m sad for the managers who are holding on by their teeth trying to keep people employed even when the numbers don’t make sense. I’m sad for the people on the frontline working, exhausted and waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel. . I’m devastated for people we have known through the years that are feeling extreme loss. People that are in hospitals alone, people that have lost parents, siblings, children & babies. . In this mix of feeling every single emotion possible, happening every single day & sometimes in the same minute, I feel gratitude & am leaving space to feel the anxiety. I know that this is the journey of life, I feel that this will get better, but that doesn’t fix the heavy feeling out of it today. It’s heavy for you, for me and for them. Let’s choose to be a little kinder & give credit to what we feel. #createanywaytlp
