Hier, echter, kijken we niet te lang naar wat voorbij is. We blijven vooruitgaan, nieuwe deuren openen en nieuwe dingen doen, omdat we nieuwsgierig zijn ... en nieuwsgierigheid zorgt ervoor dat we steeds nieuwe wegen blijven inslaan. - Walt Disney . . Ik leer over het leven door mijn kinderen te observeren. Misschien zouden we allemaal een beetje meer kind moeten zijn, of minstens in contact moeten staan met ons innerlijke kind. We zouden onze aangeleerde angsten moeten kunnen afgooien en vol nieuwsgierigheid onze mogelijkheden ontdekken. . . . . #innerlijkkind #innerlijkkindwerk #nieuwewegen #ontdekken #gelukkigzijn #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodinspired #nieuwsgierig #trusttheuniverse #spiritualiteit #verderkijken #nieuwehorizon #kindzijn #mindset #mindfulness #growth #theuniverse #spiritualqueen #believeandachieve #bewust #geluk #groei #positief #kracht #hasselt #innerchild #candidchildhood #momswithcameras

This is so true 💖 Since I became a single mum 3.5 years ago I’ve not felt that ‘perfect mum’ I felt before. This was due to being so tired and having so much pressure to be responsible for all four on my own. I want my children to see me happy most of the time so I create little habits to stop me self sabotaging myself. Some of my habits include planning fun things in school holidays and weekends as it can get tough staying in with 4 arguing and I have to get out or i will go crazy 😂 Also I make sure I go sleep when I’m tired as I used to stay up working but I wasn’t being productive so what was the point it was a domino effect for the following day. I also ask for help when I need it, i only have my mum for support with the children which is hard as it’s not her place but if I didn’t get a little break I would break. So currently she has started having them once a month overnight and a day so I get a lie in and me time.

Ballet princess 😍 (Ignore her cardigan it’s a bit small we have ordered her a new one 🤣) I can’t believe it’s the weekend already! This week has flown! Probably because I’ve only been in work one day and we’ve been having so much fun 😂 I’m gonna miss my girl so much next week when we’re both back at school/work 😞 She can turn anyone’s frown upside down this one 💗 It’s amazing how quality time with your little one can cheer you up so much 💕 Hope everyone has a fab weekend! . . . . #snaphappybritmums #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodrising #channelmumvillage #myhappycapture #motherhoodjourney #lifeasmama #kidz_ootd #kids_fashion_blogger #pbloggers #littlefashionista #trendytots #pregnantmummy #pregnantmama #mummyvloggers #mummyblogger #mummybloggers #mummybloggersuk #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #pbloggersuk #parentblog #mumbloggeruk #mumbloggers #mumbloguk #motherhooddiaries #girlmom #girlmama #girlmum

👶🏼 B E S T F R I E N D S 🐶 I love how these are growing such a bond together and Trevor has the patience of a saint with Sienna. But I’d be lying if I said having them both rely on me was easy. I’ve found this week particularly tough... mikes been getting home late and working 6 day weeks which means these two both need my attention. I can’t wake up in the morning and potter about. We need to go out whatever the weather as Trevor needs a walk. Having a dog and a baby isn’t easy but seeing them both together makes up for having no time to myself ❤️ . . . . . . . #bestfriends #labradorretriever #dog #labradorsofinstagram #labrador_lovers #labsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #labs_of_insta #friendship #labstagram #bff #besties #weekend #lovethem #photooftheday #motherhoodjourney #honestmotherhood #motherhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #thehappynow #uniteinmotherhood #motherhoodrising #motherhoodthroughinstagram #momlife #magicofchildhood #littleandbrave #momswithcameras #mumbloggeruk

What. A. Night. It sure ain't a lie when they say babie's sense change: big or small. This one was up every hour for comfort or a feed. He also managed to get from his back to his front: how weird that learning to roll co-incided with our house move.

a selfie that i hardly ever do again. i’ll be doing more soon! ⚡️ — my last post for tonight. i just wanted to refill up my feed AGAIN.. i seriously have a problem. my son is ko, so goodnight mamas!

not going to lie, but when i first held my son he felt like a baby doll. it felt like i was holding a fake baby. 😭 he was so rubbery. (ik, weird right?) ignore the way i look please.. i mean i just gave birth that day. — i’m so upset that i didn’t get much pictures.. i was just in too much pain to care about that. even tho i had a whole plan on how i wanted my pictures done. everyone there sucked.. there was a camera that had all my labor and delivery pics on there but it’s missing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thoughts of a sleep deprived mother. I'm tired. Exhausted. Drained. Frustrated. Those screaming and crying for hours drives me crazy. Even makes me lose my patience. But have to calm myself. Need to calm myself. My body hurts. From head, back, arms, legs and my stitches seems like slowly ripping off. "La la la la", "da da dan da da dan", "hmn hmn hmn", "ssshhhhhhhh" didn't work for you anymore. Not even those lullaby apps. I already fed you. Changed your diapers and clothes. Massage your tummy. I even tried our tricks. But it didn't work as well. Used your carrier, pillow and swing your crib. But all of that fails to make you sleep. I do not understand whats wrong. I cannot decipher your actions. Sometimes it makes me question myself. Am I really capable of taking care of you? Am I doing it wrong? Am I hurting you? And I am left clueless. And when he finally sleeps and you can finally take a nap, the crazy part is you just can't stop looking at him. Thinking he might suddenly wake up. Then he finally wakes up and you have to do it all over again. COMPLAINT. FRUSTRATIONS. CONFUSION. Thats what makes it more difficult. And then i walked out the room. Take a break. A single moment of silence. Breathe some fresh air. Drink some water. And you realize HE JUST NEED YOU. He needs to be hugged. He needs to be cuddled. He needs to feel secure and safe. Even when he sleeps. And no one can give that but you. So no matter how hard you want to give up and just quit. Your maternal instict is prevailing. I can't stop. I will not stop. Because you need me. Those complaints become challenge. Those frustrations become motivation. Those confusing questions becomes lesson. So i'll be glad to do more for you my love. Just for you to grow happy, secure, safe and feel loved. Because I love you so much. 🤱 #motherhood #newmom #motherhoodjourney #unconditionallove #motherslove

*subtly poses with left hand* 😁

Today at school drop off a mom in the car line had a unicorn bike helmet stuck under her minivan, she dragged that baby all the way through the line until one of the traffic helpers flagged her down and somehow managed to free it. I have no idea how it got wedged under there or how it lasted quite a few blocks being scraped under a car, but I imagined it getting bumped off a pile of crap in her garage and rolling under there as she yelled at her kids to get in the van and rushed to get to school on time. I looked at that minivan today and sent that mom a quiet little shout of solidarity ✊🏻 we never know what other people are going through - what kind of bicycle helmets are stuck to our minivans - but we can control how we see each other and how we choose to help one another. I know this is a weird analogy but something about that helmet stuck under the back axle just spoke to me in the most existential way 😂 my hope is that when people see my flaws and my clutter and my general lack of organization - they’ll see it through kind eyes. We’re not alone in this journey. We need each other. So let’s not point and judge the bike helmets stuck under each others cars and instead be the person who kindly stops to remove said helmet and helps another person on their way ❤️ #deepthoughtsatdropoff

today wasn’t a great day for us.. so, landon fell off the bed today. not once, but TWICE!! earlier today landon and i we’re watching tv. i had my leg on the bed to block him for the edge of the bed. he was beside my thigh & all the sudden this dude jumps over my leg and my “mama reflexes” put my leg in front of him to block him from falling straight down & i grabbed onto his legs. he went to the floor, but that’s bec i put him down. i wasn’t going to pull him by his legs. i made sure he fell down slowly. that was heart attack #1. then, late afternoon around 7ish he was on my bed playing with his toys where he’s been at all day. i was helping my love with finishing his paper and i was reading over it to see what all i had down. he came over to my side & by the time i looked over to see what landon was doing all i saw was feet in the air.. he fell off the bed, but this time it was too late to save him. he hit his head and all i heard was him screaming. i panicked ofc & was in complete shock. like i was legit shaking. i tried to comfort him and ofc he was screaming & so then i cried with him. it’s been about 5 hours since that happened and i’m still worried about him. thank the lord he had no knots, or nothing too bad happened. my biggest fear became into reality today. 😫 my son is more mobile now so all he wants to do is move around and scoot everywhere.. usually i’m in a position to where i got full control of him, but i wasn’t today because of me being in a different position. this is exactly why he stays in his crib 24/7. has any of yalls babies fall off the bed, or fall off of something in general?? i’m still worried about him and still wondering if he fractured something.. i keep feeling his head and asking if he’s okay every other minute. my anxiety went 0-100 real quick today.

In January 2014, I originally started using oils for respiratory & immune support, but holy moly, the EMOTIONAL SUPPORT these oils offer is SO good!! 👌 How do you use essential oils for emotional suppot?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❤ Ylang Ylang is the oil of love & care. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💥 Clary Sage is calming & great for hormones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💪 Neroli is uplifting and encouraging. Bonus: it’s awesome for stretch marks or wrinkles. I’ve started putting this on my tummy to help tighten the skin. Safe during pregnancy & nursing also. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😳 Patchouli is calming and balancing and supports feelings of anxiousness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤪 Inner Child helps you connect with your authentic self and supports emotional release and balance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌞 Joy is for happiness and romance. Apply over the heart to help deal with sadness in times of grief. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⛪ Frankincense is grounding. It’s such an awesome oil with so many uses. 🌐🌐🌐🌐🌐🌐🌐🌐🌐🌐🌐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #keeperofthehome #wellness #mompreneur #familylife #sparkjoy #motherhoodjourney #bepresentbefree #homeiswheremyheartis ❤️ #jesusatthecenterofitall #wellnesstribe #yleo #essentialoils #emotionalsupport #younglivingessentialoils #youngliving #toxinfreeliving #wellness #wellnessjourney #healthandwellness #nontoxic #oillife #plantpower #healthiswealth #oilobsessed #ohmyoils #livewell PC: TaylorLefler

Oh my. Giggle goose in her big girl bed. Turned Arjay's old crib into a day bed, and when we announced bedtime, off she ran to her big girl bed and snuggled right up. . And then Arjay is way up high in his loft bed, and my heart is aching a little for the bigness of it all.

a mood 24/7. i feel you dude.

Last night my 10 year old son asked me to go see Instant Family. Kind of like a date because he has already gone to see it twice but wanted to see it with me. (He loves a movie) I had tears right through it - for those of you who don’t know it’s a true story about adoption. I have always wanted to adopt since I was a teenager. Why is it so hard in Australia? Babies and children come into your life all different ways, some people fall pregnant easily, some take ages, some have IVF and some have fertility issues and accept their fate. Some through mixed families and some turn to foster and adoption. And some just make peace with their path with less children they would have liked. One day I’m going to do something where I can love on so many children and call them all my family. I have not quite figured it out yet, we have a few ideas up our sleeve but I’m putting it out there. If you have children how did it happen for you? 📷 @the_broughton_smiths

We are 37 weeks and baby girl has dropped!! 2cm dilated and 60% effaced, the constant cramping and back pain is in full swing and the symptoms so far are showing she may come earlier than we expected😳 . There is still so much to do but my hospital bag is packed and everything else can be done over time so for now this mama is gonna go relax in the tub and listen to all the signs my body is giving me. . I was thinking she would be a March baby like her mama but it’s looking more and more like we may have another February baby! . My first baby girl will be here soon🥰

Just had a huge pregnancy share on my stories due to a much needed time of reflection! . . This is actually only the second photo on my entire feed of my pregnant body. And there was (what I thought) good reason for not sharing. . . When finding out I was pregnant I actually wanted to run for the hills and not face anyone or anything. None of what was going on at the time was a reflection of what I had planned for my life. And did it all hit me like a ton of bricks!! . . I was ashamed! . . I didn’t know how to share my truth, and that was that I honestly wasn’t ready... I wasn’t ready to be a mother, to grow or take care of an entire other living thing, I had a hard enough time taking care of myself. . . I was ashamed that I didn’t want it more and other spend thousands going after this and that is their only life goal, and others still who can never and will never experience this. . . Like how dare I, as a women, not want this... But looking back oh I wish I knew then what I know now! . . That the time goes by too quickly, that that belly disappears and those midnight kicks would never happen again, that the connection changes and the experience passes by so fast that looking back now it almost felt like a dream state.... . . I wish I relished in the belly rubs and the “oh you are glowing” comments, or the “hey you’re eating for two so eat up”, cause I sure did take advantage of that ;), it all just felt so good and I didn’t even fully realise how good till it was all over and now the lil bean is 16 months and my body is yet again my own... . . I kiss you goodbye shame! I embrace you former pregnant body and I thank you for gifting me so much <3 . . . . —— #honestpregnancy #pregnant #pregnancy #women #motherhood #mother #babybelly #postpartum #motherhoodjourney #journey #tribedemama @tribedemama

This little guy is so sweet and wild! He sure keeps me on my toes!!! 🤪 He loves to sing baby shark and the wheels on the bus go round and round. He is talking lots these days and really just growing up too fast!! 😭Can we talk about how people decide to stop 🛑 having kids... I just want like 10 more 😂😂😂. Maybe I’ll change my mind when we start potty training that always reminds me why I think we are done😂. • • • • #realmotherhood #motherhoodthroughig #lifeasamama #momsofinsta #mommystatus #motherhoodjourney #mommymode #motherhoodrising #slowmotherhood #messy_motherhood #momminainteasy #allthebabies #thingsiwanttoremember #rememberingthesedays #legitmomstyle #thatmomlife #momswithstyle #momuniform #fashionablemom #iwantababy #momstylelife #motherhoodco #ohheymamas

“When women support each other incredible things happen.” Double tap ❤️ if you also appreciate and want to show support to other moms who share their journey here. I won’t lie, the past few days have been a little hard with my LO going through a growing spurt and colic peaking all at once 😩... But today I received this message and it truly made my day! 🙌🙏💛 Despite my lack of sleep 😴, zombie 🧟‍♀️ mode, and inevitable mommy guilt (if my baby is crying it must be my fault, right?!), through this nice exchange of kind words I felt somewhat reinvigorated. 💪😊💪 Thank you 🙏@kloniweston for your sweet gesture and kind words. It takes little to no effort (literally, less than a minute) to show appreciation, but it makes a huge difference! 😊 Mamas, let us support each other in this wonderful and challenging journey of motherhood. 💛 #mom #momlife #momsofinstagram #momssupportingmoms #newmom #grateful #motherhood #honestmorherhood #parenting #honestparenting #modermom #gratitude #support #appreciation #kindness #momster #momproblems #momguilt #whathappenedtosleep #mompower #momsaresuperheroes #keepupthekindness #teachbyexample #sharethelove #momfriends #motherhoodjourney #judgmentfree #judgnentfreezone #goodvibesonly

Motherhood comes in many different seasons // some are great, some are easy, and some are even messy and hard. There are days that are super easy and then there’s days that are really really hard🤦🏻‍♀️ //// But I have learned this is just a season that will pass on by and it won’t be like this forever. But these seasons will come & go and then before we know it they are gone. . . . . #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #mamaismyname #momlife #twinmama #twinmom #theycallmemama #mamalife #mamabear #momsofinstagram #instagrammom #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodjourney

“Darling, you are the sun, the moon, and all of the stars.” 💫 @heyykori

I am a HUGE dork right at this very moment. My excitement is so freaking real for committing to this 3 Day Refresh! Y’all, I mean so excited that I even brought it into work to open it up because I was too excited to wait until I got home to open it. Oh, and because I wanted to show it off. My body is in need of a little refresh. In just 3 days, yep that’s right, just 3 days, it is going to feel lighter, it is going to be cleansed and detoxed from all the carbs and even the Valentine’s Day chocolates and cookies I have eaten. My body is going to feel amazing afterwards and so will I! I have never done a refresh and I am not sure why. I feel like at least 2x a year we should be giving our bodies this love. Plus, when my body feels amazing so do I. The benefits are bountiful when my body is just feeling on point, better sleep, less stressed, happier and life is just that much better. I am so ready and would love for your to refresh with me! Drop a ❤️ to come refresh with me! #loveyourbody #betteringmyself #valentineschocolate #valentinescandy #ilovechocolate #learningtolovemybody #learningtoloveme #postpartumlife #postpartumweightloss #boymama #boymomlife #theexcitementisreal #chocolateislife #selflovematters #selfcarematters #runningmama #runningmom #becomingabetterme #practicekindness #tryingtoloseweight #carboloading #somanycarbs #foodisfuel #simplemeals #tryingtobehealthy #beinghealthyishard #mymotherhood #postpartumjourney #motherhoodjourney

"Bunda, kenapa sih aku dibilang Lucu?" (mpie, 4.5 yo) . . --------------------------------------- . . Sebuah pertanyaan yg bikin saya jadi memikirkan beberapa kejadian yg mpie sangat keukeuh bertanya "cantik kan bun? Cantik kan?" dan saya tetep aja bilang "lucuuuu bgt sih dek" 😂 . . Selama ini kami memang punya sebutan special ke masing2 anak, kebetulan mpie memang selalu kami panggil "anak lucunya ayah bunda" . . Bukan apa2, karena memang tingkah dan ucapan2nya dari bayik banyak sekali yg bikin gemesh, lucuuu 😍😍 . . Tapi rupanya mungkin mpie memandang "lucu" itu bukan suatu pujian 😅 . . Jadilah saya kemudian konfirmasi ke mpie, "mpie lebih suka dibilang lucu atau cantik?" . . Dan dia dengan tegas bilang "cantik" . . ---------------------------------- . . Ah, memang yah.. Niat baik kita terhadap seseorang itu perlu dikonfirmasi ulang, sesuai atau ngga dengan keinginan atw penafsiran orang tersebut . . Dan seperti seolah diingatkan juga, menggunakan 2 telinga untuk lebih banyak menyimak bukan sekedar mendengar . . Seperti berkali2 saya dengar mpie ingin dibilang cantik, tapi saya tetap saja sebut dia dengan "anak lucunya bunda" 😆 . . Thank you, nak.. Bunda kembali belajar darimu 🤗💕 . . #motherhoodjourney #emakblogger #raisinggirls #raisingchampions #leadershipwithinyou

To participate, simply follow the ladies in the group and interact on the themed conversation of the week. Each week, we'll pick a two random participants to win a $5 Starbucks card. ⠀ ⠀ This week's question:⠀ ⠀ Have you ever been bullied/shamed online by another adult? ⠀ ⠀ I honestly can't count how many times. As you can imagine- having somewhat of a public platform comes with a lot of random people who have no vested interest in me as a person and some of those people are just plain mean. I've been called everything from fat, to a bad mom, and everything in between. It used to sting. I used to get sweaty palms and a racing heart. I used to be tempted to quit the Internet completely. Then, I got tougher. I got used to it. I decided my light was more valuable than their effort to dull it. ⠀ ⠀ But. Not everyone can shut it off. Not everyone gets used to it (as they shouldn't). This is the part that bothers me most. What about the 17 year old girl recovering from anorexia? What about the 14 year old boy who's afraid to come out as gay? What about the mom with PPD that's just one bad day away from suicide? ⠀ ⠀ We have got to care more about our fellow humans. We HAVE to. I challenge anyone who's ever tempted to hide behind a screen and hurl insults- to question if you'd say the same thing to someone in person. I'm willing to bet a lot of the time... it's a hell no. And for anyone on the receiving end? Remember that it's not you. It's them. You're better and stronger than the idiots of the Internet.⠀ ⠀ Head to @veronabrit next to read about her story, and feel free to join the conversation in the comments!

This legit happens way too often in my day to day life with the kids!! Basically, the kids yell “Mama!!!” and I’ve gotta finish it off somehow comical to keep myself from yelling back: “STOP wearing out my name!!!” 😉😂 . ORRRRRRR depending if I’m feeling gangster or inspired, I will interrupt them mid-holler with my best rapping voice, “... Mama, dont you know I love you? Dear Mama, place no one above you” like Tupac or I sing angelically: “...Mama, there’s no way you’d ever lose meeeeeeeee!” by sweet crooning Carrie Underwood. 🤷🏼‍♀️ . I like to keep the kids guessing. 😉😉😬😂 . Now I gotta KNOW, which lyrics comes to mind first when someone says “MAMAaaaaaaa!!!” really loudly around YOU! 🤪🤗🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . . . . . . #momsayings #mamamia #abba #momknowsbest #momlife #momquotes #funnymomquotes #mamacita #momblogger #momstruggles #mommyandme #funnyquotes #quotesdaily #motherhoodquotes #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunited #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunfiltered #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodsimplifed #motherhoodmoments #motherhoodalive #mothering #mombrain

Officially counting down to the last day with my BUMP! I’m 37 weeks and finally full term! My body has given this little homie their eviction notice. I am 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. But I’m not going to get too excited until these contractions stop me in my tracks 🤷🏾‍♀️. Here are 10 early labor signs for my mamas to be 🤰🏾: 1. Baby "drops" 2. Cervix dilates 3. Cramps and increased back pain 4. Loose-feeling joints 5. Diarrhea 6. Weight gain stops 7. Fatigue and "nesting instinct" 8. Vaginal discharge changes color and consistency 9. Stronger, more frequent contractions 10. Water breaks #parentingtips #pregnancylife #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodmoments #momentsinmotherhood #mombloggers #expecting #thirdtrimester #babynumber3

And now good night. It is time to sleep. So we will sleep with our pet Zeep. Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. Every day, From here to there, Funny things are everywhere. -Dr. Suess Hitting milestones everyday! She's actually letting me finish a whole book! ❤️ What is your favorite child's book? Need some ideas for the little one.

Because my definition of "Netflix and chill" is watching my shows on Netflix and eating break and bake chocolate chip cookies while ignoring my husband and child. (Sometimes mommy just needs a moment to be alone...)

What a rollercoaster of a week, but we got outside for a walk today after her fever went down, so we both feel better. I placed an order a couple days ago for more Thieves oil since I’m all out. I’m pretty good with prevention, but not so experienced fighting a sickness since this is her first cold. Do you use essential oils when your baby is sick? What’s your go-to that helps? . . . . . . . #poorsickbaby #logankathryn #18months #healthyliving #chemicalfreehome #chemicalfree #alexajeanpresets #carters #everirisdesigns #aplaceofsimplicity #motherhood #babygirl #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodsimplified #raisegoodhumans

Today I took time to do ME, to fill MY tank. Ya know what...it felt freakin AMAZING!🌟 . When was the last time you took time to do YOU. Do you find yourself worn out, tired, depleted from filling everyone else's tank and leaving yours empty. . Let me let you in on a little secret, you are not filling anyone's tank no matter how much you are giving if you are not filling yours FIRST. We can not give 100% to our children, our spouse/partner, our job, our friends, our family etc..if we are not making sure we are at 100% in the first place. This means taking time for what lights you the hell up, and making that thing a priority. This means setting boundaries. This means finding who the heck YOU still are outside of a mom, wife, employee etc... . I have felt LOST I have questioned who I am, where I'm going, where did I go!?! It took me years to take the steps to find who I am again and guess what I"m not who I was or who I thought I was, I am SO MUCH BETTER! . You do NOT have to feel this way, you do not have to give give give to everyone around you while you are left feeling empty. You have the freaking right to take care of YOU first and foremost. 💖 . If this resonates with you at all, drop an emoji below👯‍♀️

How often do we set intentions of a new practice we would like to add into our day or a new healthy habit we want to create with our kids… But maybe your little one wakes up sick, the car has problems or there were emergency appointments... And then these intentions fall to the wayside, they lose their priority, and they get forgotten until something crosses our path to remind us that we never did what we intended to do. . . There are several healers and mentors that recommend practices of leaving ourselves notes in our pockets. Abraham-Hicks even recommends keeping $100 in your pocket and each time you feel it in your pocket think of something satisfying that could be bought with it. In time, it creates a habit of positive visions of money and manifesting financial abundance into your life. . . We can use this tool with our children so well! My kids and I set our intentions once a month for the full moon, and very regularly at night if we are having personal outcomes we would like to see positively elevated. Usually it is just verbally. During the full moon we write our intentions on paper and either bury it or allow it to burn in the candle. . . Keeping notes in our pockets help us on those manifestations that we need just a little bit more reminders. We usually use scrapbook paper or stickers to make it feel more special. Paper that is a little bit more sturdy usually lasts through more wear and tear. Sometimes we put it in a tiny bottle with a cork. I let my child lead the way on how to keep this message in their pocket. . . Sometimes they share what they write, other times they prefer to keep it to themselves. We have a small talk about what we struggle with, our faith in the universe and what thoughtful action should occur each time we feel the note in our pocket. This usually entails some form of reaffirming the statement written on the paper. . . Sometimes our notes are lost on the playground, or in the black hole that exists in the washing machine. Those are usually the times that we find we actually need to set a new intention. . . Have you tried reminders for your kids while they are practicing manifestation?

I feel like I have blinked and she has gone from a newborn to a toddler in a second! How does time go even faster with the second? . The one thing that hasn't changed is her obsession with FOOD, anything and everything she is happy to ingest, the majority of her favourites are carbs (let's face it who doesn't enjoy carb loading?) . From having food struggles with our first born to this eating machine it's such a pleasure to not have that added stress around food. ..plus she loves nailing these @smilingtums pouches!😃 @woolworths_au 🌱 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #motherhood #motherdaughter #motherhoodinspired #motherhoodjourney #stylishmom #perthblogger #uniteinmotherhood #picoftheday #perthmum #mumlife #babyspam #bohostyle #honestmothering #realparenthood #mentalhealthmatters #magicofchildhood #wanderlust #amotherslove #childrenofinstagram connectingmoms #letthembelittle #lifewellcaptured #prettylittleinspo #momstylelife #beautygram #motherslove #notonlymama #motherhoodrising #lifeisbeautiful #momfashion

YOU GUYS!! I’m working on something big! Lately I‘ve been sharing more truths about my motherhood journey so far, and I SO appreciate the positive support and feedback I’ve obtained already. As you might’ve guessed, I am currently suffering from postpartum depression and anxiety. This goes so much deeper than just your typical baby blues, and it’s nothing that I ever thought would be THIS heavy. The good news is that I’ve sought help early, and I have a lot of support. It’s still not easy, but I am so proud of how far I’ve come already. If you know me, having loss of control gives me anxiety on any given day, and losing control of your thoughts and feelings when you’ve been given so many beautiful things out of life is truly frightening. Part of my healing is sharing more with you. I read so many blogs, articles, and books that prepared me for pregnancy, labor, taking care of a newborn, maintaining a happy relationship, etc. Unfortunately, none of that prepared me for this; So, I want to give that back. If I can help just one mama, and relate to just a single soul, I will have succeeded. Stay tuned, my friends, I have a lifestyle blog in the works that will touch on the raw honesty of motherhood that is often not talked about. I started another blog once, but not one that I was nearly as passionate about as this. I don’t want any of this to be rushed, and I’m still taking care of Aspen full-time, so it may take a while. I hope you will be patient with me, and follow along in my journey. I will continue to share bits and pieces of what’s to come. I am humbled by all of you. 💕 Will you follow along? What do you want to see? Please let me know in the comments below! 👇🏼

This past September my dear grandfather passed away. While my grandmother (who my children have now named “GiGi”) has been coping remarkably well... she just couldn’t bring herself to redecorate the room in her apartment where my grandfather stayed towards the end of his life 💛. . When I’d ask her about the room, turning it into a spare bedroom, turning it into a dining room area, etc. nothing seemed to spark any emotion for her (understandably so). . Then, one day it hit me... what are two of the things she loves most in life (despite my grandfather)? The answer was simple... 1) her family, specifically her great-grandchildren and 2) teaching. All her life my grandmother was a preschool teacher and actually owned and operated her own preschool business. Hanging up her official teacher role to babysit my brother and I once we were born. She then started an in-home preschool so she could continue her teaching for my brother, myself, and some of our family and friends. This teaching has carried on into the next generation in that she has projects for my little ladies every time she sees them. . So, I asked my Grandma what she thought about the idea of me turning the now spare bedroom into a preschool for her to teach her great-grandchildren on weekends, etc. Well... she LOVED the idea! . With her living 1 hour away, I’ve been busy making frequent trips to her apartment to design the playroom/classroom and I’ve had SO much fun in the process working with her on it! I plan to write a blog post sharing the final product... but until now... here is a sign sneak preview ❤️.

You get an antibiotic and YOU 👉 get an antibiotic. 😷🤧🤮🤣😭 Man whatever we have isn’t fun. It’s awful and I’m SO thankful I feel 💯 . My boys have never had an antibiotic ever and here we are 2x a day for 10 days. 3 of 4 people in this house is on this stuff. Days of ear infections, booger’s, vomit from all the booger’s and coughing, and I’m sure some antibiotic side effects. So what’s your favorite kid and infant probiotic? I doubt I can get them to eat Kimchi 🤔 Gonna need some probiotic HELP after all this 😷 #coldandfluseason #antibiotics #probiotics #probioticsforkids #motherhoodjourney

I pray I never take this time for granted. I pray I always take a moment to look around and see the many blessings I have been given. To soak in how the Lord has given me what I have always dreamed and prayed for. This time, these memories, these moments with the people I love most. Priceless. ❤️❤️❤️ . . . #littlemoments #momentsinmotherhood #motherhoodjourney #mamalife #christianmama #mamabear #familyphotos #pricelessmoments #rememberwhen #blessedwithfamily #mysweetbaby #wifelife #wifeandmother #mylittlefamily #nevertakeforgranted #thisisthedream

Today I finally decided to go shopping for myself. I’ve bought a few shirts for special occasions over the last few years, but not a whole lot at one time. It’s taken me awhile to accept what shape my body is after having kids but I’m glad I finally have. I know what clothes I feel comfortable in and I can almost always tell if they will fit without having to try them on. It makes shopping slightly easier knowing what size to get and what style is comfortable to me now. And I’m glad I can finally start rebuilding my wardrobe!! . . . . . . . . #momofthestrong #motherhood #motherhoodintheraw #thisisreallife #momlife #lifeofamother #cameramama #momtog #realmomlife #realmotherhood #mommylife #documentyourdays #momproblems #momblogger #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodjourney #mombod #mombody

Two elves living their best life ✨💫🌿

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Langston Hughes 🦅 Do you still hold your dreams for your life tight near your heart? Or have you let them go, thinking them impossible to live out? Even if life right now is looking a little like a crippled bird, trying to fly and falling on it's face, it doesnt mean it will be broken forever. It can heal and can begin to learn to fly again. 🤗 Pick 1 small thing you can start doing today (and everyday) to align yourself with a dream you have. It may not be much, but it's something! I choose to take at least 1 picture (if not 75) a day. Most of the time it's just with my phone, like this one posted, but I like it! It brings me joy and closer to my dreams. 📷 . . . #mommotivation #prorecovery #recoverywin #coloradomom #nothingisordinary #cameramama #momtogs #clickinmoms #dearestviewfinder #momswithcameras #beyourself #joyfulmama #sobermama #motherhoodalive #letthembelittle #momlifeisthebestlife #boymom #motherhoodrising #motherhoodthroughig #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodslens #motherhoodalive #bnwsouls #bnwmood #bnw_greatshots #bnw_captures #bnw_fanatics #bnw_fabulous #bnw_addicted #coloradophotographer #coloradospringsphotographer

The perfect size for gripping, these untreated wooden rings are hand brushed with certified organic beeswax and olive oil. They are just wailing to be grabbed, clanged, chewed, and thrown without any worries of chemicals, paints, plastics, lacquers, or other toxins/ Beeswax is a great natural treatment for wood. It blends well with the oil to give a better seal- preserving the life of the wood, and protect the wood from splintering.

Since making the decision to keep Alana at home this year I have experienced a lot of negativity. Funnily not from strangers, but those I call friends. It’s been a challenging time for both Alana and I. Alana was due to start Kindy this year and I had bought everything and enrolled her when little things started to happen that turned into big things. Alana was emotionally not coping well with the change, which everyone just shrugged off as normal. My heart really just couldn’t stand to see her in such a bad place and after seeking some professional help, a few days before school was due to start pulled her out. I’m so glad I did! I got my fun loving little girl back. Motherhood is really so full of judgement and being told what to do. However I’ve experienced in my own journey that just by listening to my mother’s heart I can sense what is best for my child. ❤️

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a Mom. To have those little eyes look up at you for the very first time. The first words. First steps. First tooth. First haircut ♥️ . . It all goes by SO fast! I sit and look at pictures of Haylie as a baby and I’m like how in the world was that almost 9 years ago?! How can it be that Korty will be celebrating her fifth birthday in just four short months? . . I love these new stages in life they’re both in. School, sports, 4H ... but sometimes I just sit in awe and think about the past eight and a half years of my #motherhoodjourney and think to my self how amazing it is that I created the two most beautiful, amazing blessings God have me?! How is it possible that I was lucky enough to be chosen to be there Mom? ♥️ . . He sure knew what he was doing 🙏🏻
