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. This pregnant lady is layering a lot & trying to get the most use out of my non maternity and maternity pieces. I love cable knit sweaters and this one from Filly Flair is nothing short of amazing! It’s not maternity, but I…

Maskcara IIID Foundation Review

Who here has tried the Maskcara IIID Foundation? I was super lucky to have Cara do our makeup a couple years back at SNAP Conference. She has a crazy amount of talent in bringing out people’s best features. When she spoke at Elevate, she brought 1 lady up to do her brows, and another lady up for contouring and highlighting. It was so fun to…

Blush Maxi Skirt & Lace Crop Top

Who is not loving blush right now?! When I went to Alt Summit this winter, I helped plan an opening dinner with Cents of Style and we asked that everyone wear the Pantone color of the year, Rose Quartz (blush). Of course I hopped onto Pinterest and typed in Blush Maxi Skirt…This was the first pin and the outfit was stunning. When I found this…

Style – Spring Dress with a Sage & Harper Backpack

Happy Monday everyone! Did you guys have a good weekend? We have a cousin in town visiting and have been running around eating at a bunch of fun places. I’ve hung out at home while the boys have gone skiing & even got a nap! The nap alone would have made it a great weekend, but good food and amazing company makes it even better.…

Instagram post 17870531150470238 Today’s little moments become tomorrow’s precious memories.
.
I hope they have fond memories of their mom racing down waterslides with them, relaxing in the lazy river, ordering Pina Colada’s on repeat, taking them all to a buffet on my own, challenging them & sometimes forcing them to try new things (check out Sydney’s face on the tiny water slide ☺️)...
.
But really, I hope they know spending time with them is most important to me & where my most fond & precious memories are built. 💙
Instagram post 17868571544455043 Have you kept special cards throughout the years that have really meant something to you? #ad
.
I have a small box with cards from my parents, my grandma, my husband, & my kids. I love seeing how the handwriting has changed over the years & how a card can say the words I struggle to put down on paper. Times have been tough, but moms are tougher. The girls & I decided to throw a brunch for my mom to celebrate her & show gratitude for all she does for us. We stocked up on @amgreetings at @walmart & took advantage of the buy 2 cards, get 1 free deal they've got going on so we can celebrate all the moms in our life. They all deserve some love and appreciation for helping build our villages. Shop Now: https://ahalogy.link/WalmartMothersDay

Deeply loving. I love, trust and believe in these people with everything I have.
.
I realize that Easter feels like it was awhile ago, but between spring break & being with family, it has been so nice to recharge.
.
Steve’s siblings were together for the first time in years & I begged for a family picture. Swipe to see what it looks like when I get to be in charge momentarily 🙈
Instagram post 18142931479149331 Happy 4th Birthday to our 4th baby. You make our world go round & have been the best caboose to our little train. I’m pretty sure you’re everyone’s favorite. You love hanging out with the big boys, being mothered & nurtured by the girls, & sneaking right in the middle of mom & dad’s bed in the morning. You love being the baby & maybe one day we will let you grow up & stop babying you. ❤️
.
From a mom who is feeling the baby time fleeting, buy the freaking characters, decorate with the obnoxious balloons & crepe paper, & let them enjoy the toys that need batteries with the hidden volume switch. Try to enjoy the time of toys & being at home & playdoh & tripping over legos because soon they’ll be picking out their own clothes, negotiating with you over an acceptable curfew, hanging out with friends, & becoming who you helped shape them to be.
Instagram post 17863846889371055 I love you everyday & twice on Sundays. 💙 I love you in your best & I’ll meet you in your mess...
.
And some days, this hotel renovation is exactly that. A beautiful mess, full of stress. A story being rewritten. Weaving together details from the past into charm for tomorrow. Respect for what was and excitement for everything that is to come. I don’t know how you are doing it, but you are. I’m so proud of you & my belief in you can’t be measured.
.
For any questions about The Homestead, this is how it’s going. Slow and steady wins the race ☺️
Instagram post 17886842396001540 Do you have anything you just don’t share? For me, it’s usually my fancy drinks! #ad
.
I’m so excited that now my kids can have their own fancy drinks from @truelemon. They have Vitamins A, C & E, are 10 calories & Non GMO so I feel good being able to toss these in a cup of water before 3 of our 4 babes head out on the slopes! After driving to the ski resort & back at least 27 times this season, having this in the car is a treat for all of us! Grab yours at @walmart 💗🍋

.
I feel an immense gratitude & most days, a deep amount of responsibility for the chance I get to help mold these girls. To build them up, to be a safe space for them, & to teach them that their potential is limitless. If they love themselves first, they will be able to accomplish anything.
.
My wish is that somewhere along the journey, they see themselves as the incredible humans Steve & I see them as. That they embrace & share their gifts. They are worthy, valued and beautiful little women.
.
Happy International Women’s Day to all you beautiful women! A special thanks to the women that lift me up & that lift my girls up.

Instagram post 18139471129153250 We love our Bailey Rose so much and are proud of her for choosing to be baptized. It was such a cool & beautiful experience to be with her closest family & friends around her. Thanks to everyone who made the day so special and magical. 💫
Instagram post 18110365363207832 At the root of favorite traditions are meaningful memories & experiences.
.
We as parents might remember the sun burns or the forgotten mittens, the freezing snow sneaking down their backs as we shake out the hood or sand in all the crevices. The back and forth arguments in the car over music (yes, we are getting to that age) 😬 We remember the hard work and sacrifice and scheduling it took to get there.
.
The kids remember feeling like they were on the set of Frozen in real life, the activities, the experiences, staying up too late & running into the grocery store for a late night ice cream. We have been with family for a couple of weeks & it makes my heart so full to think of the memories that the kids have been making. Until next season @icecastles_ ❄️💙 Loved having them at the hotel this year & can’t believe how different it will be next year 🙌🙌
