I'm very active on this social platform, so if you want to see how I actually live day-to-day and connect with me, this is the place!

The happiest of all days! Hope everyone is having a joyful, family-filled Easter Sunday! Thank you, Jesus 🙌🏻💐❤️ Happy Easter weekend! 💐 . I’m fighting a cold and cooking a ton of food today. Hoping to feel better & enjoy family tomorrow ❤️ . What are you guys up to? . . . . #igmotherhood #parenthood_unveiled #lifeasmama #parenthood_moments #joyfulmamas #heaventhroughmylens #littlepiecesofchildhood #ourcandidlife #instakid #momtog #momtogs #letthekids #instamom #pixel_kids #runwildmychild #myhonestmotherhood #motherhoodthroughig #wildandfreechildren #weekend THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE. ⚠️⠀ .⠀⠀ Enrollment for Unburdened- my online program that guides you through streamlining your life, your days, your schedule, your self-care practices, your boundaries, and so much else- is about to CLOSE.⠀ .⠀⠀ At midnight tonight (PST), it will be gone.⠀ .⠀⠀ If you’ve been wondering if it’s for you, ask yourself if you really don’t think it is or if you’re thinking up excuses to stay the same.⠀ .⠀⠀ Because the fact is, many of you don’t actually WANT things to change for the better.⠀ .⠀⠀ Victim mode is easier. Having the excuse of being overwhelmed feels better for some of you than being the one who’s “got it all together”.⠀ .⠀⠀ Even though in reality that’s not what it is (no one has it all together!), you might struggle subconsciously with the thought of no longer being in constant panic mode in your motherhood.⠀ .⠀⠀ Is that what you want? Is that the legacy you want to leave behind? I know it’s not, my friend. I know you’re here because you want to do better than that.⠀ .⠀⠀ This is a chance for you to do that, and I know you’re seeing it for a reason.⠀ .⠀⠀ The doors close tonight at midnight, and if you’re seeing this before then and you have a question, ask it here! 👇🏻⠀ .⠀ To enroll (or to read the details about this program), click the link in my profile (there’s even a live chat with Kena- queen of my customer service- if you need to ask her anything).⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ I ADORE YOU, MAMA. I want this change for your family. But you have to want it too.❤️⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #childhoodunplugged #clickinmoms #candidchildhood #motherhoodrising #letthembelittle #momitforward #ig_motherhood #littleandbrave #magicofchildhood #thehappynow #mytinymoments #littlefierceones #mynameismama #acupofmotherhood #dailyparenting #stopdropandmom #unitedmomsnetwork #kidsforreal #storytellingmama #motherhoodinspired⠀⠀ I talk a lot about being a mom and making space for what matters, but here’s another piece to that I haven’t touched on as much in this space…⁣ .⁣ This man is so beyond special to me.⁣ .⁣ Before I implemented the things I’ve been talking about here lately (all the things in Unburdened- rhythms, routines, simplifying your schedule, etc), I said he was my priority but the way I spent my time didn’t back that up.⁣ .⁣ He’d come in the door from work at the end of a very long day and I’d be running around trying to catch up, putting laundry away, washing a pile of dishes you’d think had been made by the US army, and feeling resentful that he wasn’t around to help more.⁣ .⁣ I spent our weekends one of two ways:⁣ 1️⃣ Catching up on housework so I could have a good week or⁣ 2️⃣ Enjoying family time while in the back of my mind knowing I’d pay the price of a rough start to the week on Monday.⁣ .⁣ IF YOU THINK THAT’S JUST THE WAY IT HAS TO BE, YOU ARE WRONG!!⁣ .⁣ As minimalism began to change our home, I wondered what it would do if I took those same practices and applied them to my LIFE. What if I got everything done in rhythms so I had a freed up day every day? Was this even possible?!⁣ .⁣ Heck yes it was. And it is for you too, girl.⁣ .⁣ I want you to be able to snuggle up and watch The Office at the end of a long day, not have to catch up, feel naggy, angry, bitter, and frustrated. I want you to have date nights that aren’t overrun by mental overwhelm because that to do list is so dang long!⁣ .⁣ The things I teach in Unburdened will radically revamp your life and your days, and because of that load you carry getting lighter, your RELATIONSHIPS will get so. much. better.⁣ .⁣ THE DOORS TO UNBURDENED CLOSE TOMORROW NIGHT!! Click the link in my profile to check it out and get yourself in there before it’s too late!⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #marriage #love #romance #happy #forever #ido #photooftheday #motherhood I want you to know something about this photo --⁣ .⁣ There is absolutely NO WAY I could have what I have here without taking the steps I took to simplify my life.⁣ .⁣ It’s not about doing nothing or living quiet and small (that’s just not for me!). It IS about saying “no” to what doesn’t ultimately matter so that you can create room to say “yes” to what DOES matter.⁣ .⁣ There is NO WAY I could homeschool my kids, have a happy marriage, run a successful business, and balance the time spent on all the small things that fall under those categories without getting seriously intentional. There is just no way.⁣ .⁣ The message floating arounf that you can have it all is misleading...⁣ .⁣ For all of us, in order to make room for what we want to do well, something has to give. Nobody can do it all (not well anyway) without making some sacrifices and intentionally taking control of their days.⁣ .⁣ 🛑 You don’t get where you want to go by accident!⁣ .⁣ THIS is the message and the teaching in ‘Unburdened’. This is why I’m so psycho passionate about getting you beautiful mamas enrolled in this program before the doors close.⁣ .⁣ I want you to stop letting life happen to you and start showing up, taking charge, saying “yes” and “no” where you need to.⁣ .⁣ I want your load to get lighter. I want your days to get sweeter. I want the things that have to get done to be on autopilot so you can be freed up to focus on all the other stuff!⁣ .⁣ Just a couple more days to enroll before this world-shaking program disappears for a good long while. Click the link in my profile and be an action-taker!⁣ .⁣ The page you’ll be led to includes a full description of what Unburdened is, how it works, where it will take you, and all those deets you need to know!⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #motherhood #momlife #parenting #mom #family #parenthood #love Where there is no vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18 . Two things about this verse: . ONE. Autocorrect keeps changing “vision” to “bison” and it’s kind of amazing. Makes me like this life verse of mine even more. 🐗😂 . TWO. Where do you want to end up in this life? In your marriage? In your motherhood? In how your days were spent? . FACT: You won’t get there by accident. . Have vision, look at where you want to go, ask yourself what feels aligned to you. And get there on purpose. 👏🏼 . Head to my Story for the replay of a live mentality exercise I did this morning that will show you how to find the gaps between how you’re currently spending your days and how you WANT to spend your days. SO POWERFUL! . It’s coming down soon so hurry and watch it! Bring a journal for notes 👌🏻
