I'm sitting in my home safe tonight wondering when

I'm sitting in my home safe tonight wondering when and how I'll speak to my kids about what is happening in our country right now. The fact that I even have the choice to talk about it, is a privilege. It would be easy to let the kids play and live in their own world without bringing it up and teaching them about racial injustice. But I don't want them to live in their own little worlds. We want them to live with eyes wide open, being sensitive to the struggles of others, and standing up and speaking out when they see injustice.
Diversity is a beautiful thing. And while we all look different and come from different backgrounds, we have all been created in the image of God, inherently equal and inherently valuable. We don't just want our family to be "not racist," but to actively love their community and stand up for the rights of others.

1 Corinthians 13:6-7 "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

We've officially become plant people 🌱 Here are the plants we've added to our home so far: • Golden pothos, or "Devil's Ivy" • Rubber plant • Majesty palm • Prayer plant • Orchid • Mint

Do you have and favorite plants in your home?? What are they?

PS. I edited this photo with the Chelsea Damon 1 [indoor] preset. See stories for how it's done!

Today was my first day back to work after the move

Today was my first day back to work after the move. I took 2 weeks off for my sanity, my family's sanity, and - let's be honest - my team's sanity. Sometimes it's better just to say "I'm not available for this" rather than saying you can do something and then dropping the ball on it later. If you need the time, take the time!

If you saw my stories you knew that Evy gave us a scare yesterday with a high temperature spike at bedtime but we were so happy (relieved, rather) to hear that it was just an ear infection 🙌 Tomorrow my parents come to visit us and it's the first time we're seeing each other since September!

Being a mom changes you - and I'm so grateful for

Being a mom changes you - and I'm so grateful for how it has. Through motherhood, God has taught me how I can be more selfless, empathetic, enduring, and mindful. So thankful for the people who made me a mother and the mother who taught me how to be one 🥰
PS. If you still need to grab the perfect Mothers Day gift, @naotfootwear makes a great choice! #localisthenewblack

We've been exploring and trying to figure out what parks, grocery stores, and coffee shops are the closest to us. Tomorrow we've picked a local church simulcast to tune into even if we can't visit in person. Josh's parents are staying with us until later this week which I think will really help the kids with the transition from living with their grandparents to living with little ole us. Overall we're excited about our new home town and can't wait for it to feel like it.

The kids have been spending a lot of time with their #PeppaFamily from @jazwares recently #ad and I think they’re starting to pick up little English accents! I think I could get used to going by “Mum”! We’ve had a lot more family time with the kids as of late and Josh and I have been thinking of fun ways to get the kids excited and feel like not every day is the same. These Peppa toys from @jazwares helps us do exactly that. The kids love Peppa’s Surprise Balloons with a different themed set in each one. It’s a fun and special way to brighten up their day and get us all playing together. #PeppaFamily

We're past halfway!! I'm seriously so proud of these kids. They've been taking the drive like CHAMPS. I could not have expected them to have handled it this well. Also- apparently something was pretty interesting up there. When 3 out of 4 are looking at the camera in your family photo, you post the photo 😆
