My hair's been platinum for so long! But is it time for a little change??? Currently scrolling through all the Pinterest looks..

School started back up for the kids this week and I started a new job this week. It felt like the first day of school for all of us 🤓 Honestly, I miss them so much during the day 😭 but I still think back to school is a big win-win for all of us. I get to focus on my work in a quiet home and get ahead on tidying up and the kids get to learn, grow, make friends.. and we can all come together in the evenings. That's the best anyone can ask for, right?

Do you ever have those moments when your parenting

Do you ever have those moments when your parenting doubts just disappear for a little while? I have them whenever I see my kids react to situations in ways that are better than how I would have reacted at their age. Not saying that I'm the standard, but it makes me proud to know that learning from mistakes or improving upon weaknesses is possible.

The other day, David and his cousin were playing a "don't step on the cracks" game and Evy wasn't into it. She came to us crying that they said she was losing. Josh and I told her that she couldn't be losing if she didn't want to play the game in the first place. With the look of epiphany on her face, she then skipped around the older boys yelling "I'm winning because I don't care!!" And Josh and I just lost it.

Of course, David still got to play and have fun with his game and Evy was left to her own devices, win win. It just makes me proud when I can see them look past the moment into the bigger picture 💙

Happy 8 years to us ❤️ I'm so happy to do life with you. You're my teammate and my cheerleader, my rock, and the best person to be spontaneous with. You are my person ❤️

#ad Does your family live nearby? Or far away? We love getting the family out and about to Pretty Place (yes, it's a real place!) to check out the views and be in nature.

Since our family lives over 7 hours away, we love being able to share these moments with them - even all the way out here. I've been with @TMobile for a while now and I'm always surprised by where I still have coverage - even out on the trails!

Isn't it funny how our kids show us the best and worst of ourselves? They're like little characatures of us before we learned to self-regulate or proper manners haha.

David doesn't like to share his food just like his mama, but he also loves art. Evy is a people watcher like me, but she also notices nice things and gives complements freely.

It's a blessing, I think, to have little tiny beings that can teach us about ourselves and also remind us to be compassionate when they're learning and navigating life as well.

In what ways do you see yourself in your kids (good and regrettable?? 😜).

When I first started my blog, I kept it a secret because 1. I didn't have a purpose and 2. I didn't think anyone would relate to it (and, tbh, I was embarrassed)!

It wasn't until I started opening up, sharing my story and the little lessons I learned while navigating faith, marriage, motherhood, work, health, finances, (etcetera...), that others started to be able to say, "Hey, I had a similar experience" or "I'm now going through what you went through and this is so helpful!"

It took believing that I wasn't the only one like me (big surprise, I know) and that others who were just a few steps earlier where I was in life could actually find my experiences (the good and the bad) helpful.

I know it can be scary to think about, but how could sharing your story possibly be helpful to someone you know?

Thanks to @TMobile, I love that we can share moments like these whether we’re out and about or cuddled up at home. Their coverage and reliability has always really impressed me! Check out coverage in your area at the link in my bio. #TMobilePartner

#ad Josh and I have been using smarty pants for the kids' daily vitamin for years! That's why I was so excited when they came out with a women's daily vitamin that had over 20 premium ingredients and essential nutrients all in one single capsule. It also has a great minty taste!

They're just one way I intentionally care for myself during my morning routine. Each capsule is vegetarian, non-gmo, gluten-free, and sugar-free they also have formulas for men, prenatal, men 50 plus and women 50 plus.

Find them at Smartypantsvitamins.com and at Target or Whole Foods!
