He shows our littles how to work hard, how to care for others, how to build things out of wood, how to do marriage as a team, how to cook a great pancake, how to repair basically anything, and he always pauses to teach them something even when he really just wants to get it done.⠀ .⠀ Happy Father’s Day to the dad who knows how to do everything and is patient enough to teach it. I love you! @brian.casazza 😘⠀ .⠀ (Emmett was napping during this pic)⠀ .⠀ #fathersday #fathersday2018 #dadsofinstagram
A lot of people message me about our marriage, and it’s weird. You’re not weird and your messages aren’t weird, it’s just weird being asked about that at all!⠀ .⠀ I don’t know much, and obviously I’m no counselor. It’s weird for me to be asked about marriage because I know where we’ve been.⠀ .⠀ We’ve had so many hard days and emotional nights, made far too many mistakes and cut into each other’s hearts.⠀ .⠀ It hasn’t been magical the whole time, even though it is in this season.⠀ .⠀ What I do know is that we choose each other. Again and again. Every single day.⠀ .⠀ Love is not a feeling, it’s a choice, and we have decided to choose. That choice shows up in everything...⠀ .⠀ Cooking for each other, bringing each other coffee in the morning, asking about each other’s feelings, me doing the things he likes doing and him taking part in the things I like doing, holding hands on our nightly walks with the kids (even though they’re psycho and it’s inconvenient 😂), pressing pause and asking “what is the real issue here...what are you feeling?” instead of letting an argument escalate.⠀ .⠀ It’s the little choices that add up to the big one. I’ll keep choosing him because I like him, and I love him because I choose to. ❤️⠀ .⠀ @brian.casazza (📸: @lovelylittlelybecks)⠀ #marriage #thatsdarling #momsofinstagram #husbandsofinstagram
This business has brought me out of my comfort zone in so many ways.⠀ .⠀ I don’t like people looking at me. I don’t like being the center of attention. It’s hard for me to let people see my vulnerabilities. And I’m a private person.⠀ .⠀ Can you see the irony here in what God has called me to do with my life? 😂⠀ .⠀ One time, I was confiding all this to a friend and she (meaning well) said to me, “don’t you think you’re in the wrong line of work?”⠀ .⠀ Yup. This role I’m in doesn’t fit ‘comfortable Allie’. I would never get this job on a “your ideal career” test. I am totally wrong for it. The whole thing freaks me out most of the time.⠀ .⠀ But I have a story to tell and a hope to spread. God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called. 🙌🏻⠀ .⠀ So I go to coffee shops and have my photos taken while everyone rolls their eyes. I stand on the stage with shaky heels and I help. I sit in front of my mic and tell you how I’ve lightened the load of motherhood and how you can too.⠀ .⠀ I want to live my life outside my comfort zone, especially if it will lift another woman up. 💃🏻❤️ (📸: @lovelylittlelybecks) .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #momlife #motherhood #joyfulmamas #motherhoodinspired #momliferocks #dailymotherhood #thisismotherhood #slowmotherhood #bloggermom #thatsdarling #thepurposeshow #liveauthentic #mompodcast #minimalistmoms #simplify #simplifiedmotherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodsimplified
Let’s talk about being present, mamas.⠀ .⠀ Isn’t it so hard?! Sometimes I feel like motherhood is a constant tug-of-war between get stuff done and be there for your kids.⠀ .⠀ And these are little souls we’re dealing with, so it’s not something any of us take lightly.⠀ .⠀ We want to be present, happy moms, but we also have a 💩load of things to get done.⠀ .⠀ Soooooooo what do we do?⠀ .⠀ I am always learning and am by no means talking from a pulpit here, but one thing that changed my life and lightened my load as a mom is developing rhythms and routines.⠀ .⠀ Rhythms are doing the things that need to get done daily/weekly/monthly in a habitual way that keeps you caught up, and because you’re doing that thing rhythmically, it’s a lot less work each time.⠀ .⠀ Basically, you’re not doing something because you notice it needs to be done. Like the laundry. Instead of doing laundry once or twice a week because it’s screaming for your attention, do a small load every morning.⠀ .⠀ Rhythms keep you from bottlenecking in your life and create a ton of breathing room!⠀ .⠀ They’re the reason I feel able to sit and play with my kids and not go crazy constantly. I think we need at least 3 praise hand emojis for that! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻⠀ .⠀ Of course, I’m a human being with four kids- life is still chaotic! I have really hard days, breakdowns, and I feel inadequate often. ⠀ .⠀ Rhythms won’t make your life rainbows and butterflies 🌈🦋⠀ .⠀ I think the point is, finding what works for you and balancing rigidity and flexibility. Go with the flow, but set yourself up for success with the things you know have to get done everyday or week, regardless.⠀ .⠀ Make sense?

We’re all in this thing together 💛⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #momlife #motherhood #joyfulmamas #motherhoodinspired #momliferocks #dailymotherhood #thisismotherhood #slowmotherhood #bloggermom #thatsdarling #thepurposeshow #liveauthentic #mompodcast #minimalistmoms #simplify #simplifiedmotherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodsimplified
