Right after having baby number two, our time to get out of the house more than doubled. Which can be expected when you start breastfeeding all over again. But one of the most frustrating things to me as a rusher is feeling like you're in dream-mode, trying so hard to run but not being able to move.  So I've tried and practiced and come up with a few great ways to get out of the house within a half hour from wake up to in the car.

When I took a moment to slow down my mommy-whirlwind, I realized that I wasn’t leaving any time to be fun with my husband like we used to be when we were daing or first married. And who wants to have a fun-less marriage?? Not me. And I know my husband doesn’t either. He didn’t propose to me to get a live-in house cleaner and nanny. I’m guessing your hubs didn’t propose for that reason either. So, I’ve made a list of ways that we can remember to be a more fun wife!

"I must warn you, right after you have your baby, don’t look at Instagram for a while. Instagram is a lying devil. You’ll see mamas who look like they’ve just had a blowout at the salon holding their precious newborn in the hospital bed and you’ll be all “like, waaaaaat?????” You, on the other hand will look sweaty, tired, puffy, mushy, and- yes- still pregnant. After I had baby #1, I was worried that walking into Wal-Mart, people would stop to ask me how far along I was. “Uhhh, negative 2 weeks.” Then I had to tell myself, “Who gives a care.” Don’t look at them looking at you. You just worry about that gorgeous, precious baby you pooped out over there."

And then it hit me. Why do I really need to be doing anything right now. The rest of my family is sleeping (minus one hiccuping baby) and here I am feeling like I’m being lazy if I’m not doing something. Why do I feel guilty if my feet aren’t moving or if my hands aren’t working?

Do you work from home or hope to someday work from home but aren’t sure how to actually make it work? I know many people who feel like they need the structure of an office setting in order to be the most productive they can be. And while working in an office can be great, many men and women who work from home don’t have that option. So what’s a work from home mom or dad supposed to do when scrolling through Facebook sounds a lot more appealing (and easier) than being the “self-starter” in a work-from-home job? Here are some of the things I do that help me automate my systems, stay on task and motivated, and focused when it really matters:

Instagram post 17848237096665307 New blog post is up! Today I wanted to share several things to do if you're spending the day in Seattle (we actually get this question a lot)! Josh and I got to have an amazing staycation with a night away from the kids at @hyattatolive8. We had dinner at @urbaneseattle and had a relaxing couples' massage the next morning at @elaiaspa. Our room and entire experience was so nice and we felt welcomed and at home right away. If you didn't see my stories about our stay, check out the blog (link in bio and stories) and my saved stories highlight! And if you're traveling to Seattle in the future, consider @hyattatolive8 for your stay!
Instagram post 17871842224477119 David always (ok almost always) happy and sweet. Evy always... Evy (swipe) 😂🤔🤔 On another note, do you have a favorite roasted pumpkin seed recipe?? I'm thinking something salty-sweet 😋
Instagram post 18105621415002976 I almost always think of two captions for every photo we post. One option is lighthearted and fun and the other is thought-provoking deep. And I'll go with one or the other depending on my mood in the moment. This photo looks more like a deep caption type photo. Like how I'll always love and protect Evy or something like that. Yeah, let's go with that. . In other news, today was filled with Jiu Jitsu, naps, crafts, pumpkin picking, and Chinese food. What fall activities have you checked off your list so far?? .
