The closer I get to 30 weeks, the more excited I get to meet our sweet baby. When I hit this point with Linc, I became so selfish. I didn’t want to have him because I didn’t want to share him with anyone else but, then I got desperate. I got so desperate to meet our baby that I’d cry-all day, every day wanting to hold him and see his sweet face. I was telling James last night that I’ve had so much anxiety about labor and delivery again, after how tough it was with Linc-but, the more I think about how in love I was with Linc afterwards, the more at peace I become and ready I am to skip right over the selfish period and move on to the desperation to meet our baby.

With three boys under our roof, we go through snacks and treats as quick as you can say, “packed lunch!” #sponsored From school lunches to keeping a stock of bribe snacks in my diaper backpack, one thing is ALWAYS guaranteed: no matter the bribe or the packed lunch, I want my boys to be given healthy options. .
.
.
@HealthyTimesBaby Organic Cookies have been a lifesaver! Our big boys love them in lunches as a treat and Linc has been a CHAMP at potty training because of these little cookies! (#PottyTrainingBribe Every time he uses the toilet, we give him a #HealthyTimesBaby chocolate chip Hugga Bear cookie, shaped like adorable little bears!) I’ve been making sure that every time we visit @LuckysMarket, we grab a few boxes to keep up with these busy boys! Visit your local #LuckysMarket and grab yours on the Cookies & Crackers aisle!

PREGNANCY SLEEP: See that up there? 👆🏻 That’s a baby bump 😍 One that is growing quickly and has me up ALL night every night because this little person only wakes when it’s time for mama to sleep! Yoga, meditation, prayer, essential oils, TV until you pass out-What’s your go-to for better sleep in pregnancy? Last night I even tried homemade dumplings for dinner to keep a solid, full stomach (check stories for the tutorial-dumplings not, DIY full stomach 😂) and those didn’t even pass the test! .

This weekend James and I spent time away without the boys. The time we had alone was so needed but, also made us realize how boring life would be without our circus. Life without them would be life without picking Linc’s nose every morning for him, K’s THOUSAND noises and constant singing, and Col’s sarcastic comments and witty sense of humor. It would just be TOO quiet, too clean, and have WAY less boogers and smelly farts on road trips with the window locks on. Although we may not know better without having already experienced it, we would TOTALLY be missing out. So grateful to be back with my babies and the chicken wing sauce all over our counter, Nerf darts on the stairs, and a sleeping toddler on our sofa. 😍

Happy Wednesday. We can’t win them all 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Reminding all of my friends here that my highlight reel is no better than yours and neither are our bad days. .
.
.
On Monday, we were doing our normal grocery shopping at Whole Foods and the kids were “STARVINGGG” so, we let each of them fill a container from the hot bar. As usual, K was running up and down and up and down the aisles in his typical Spider-Kid fashion. I was getting so frustrated at the amount of times I’d asked him to stay beside me and keep his hand on the cart (because, duh 💁🏼‍♀️ people are walking around with containers of hot food all around us) when he popped right below the feet of an older man. I scolded him and apologized to the guy and his response TOTALLY threw me off and put me back in check. He said to me, “Oh, no-he’s fine. By all means, please let him play and be himself-it’s kids like that who change the world!” YOU GUYS. Juggling two shopping carts, three kids, a missing husband, 4 hot plates, and a belly, with all of the emotions I lost it RIGHT THERE and thanked him for reminding me not to put adult expectations on my small child. (Picture me tearing up again while I write this in the school parking lot with my pantless toddler in the backseat singing Creed 😂🤷🏼‍♀️)
.
.
A lesson to us all: Our kids are learning how to become children, then tweens, teens, and adults but, they must first start as a child. Let them be the kid they are! .

#ad Well, friends we’re all back in the full swing of the school year and I don’t know about you but, I struggle (practically daily) with dinner. Feeding 3 boys with huge appetites while balancing homework and after school activities has been a real eye opener for this girl! As many of you know, we’ve spent the last several years homeschooling so, this is all new territory!
.
.
.
After our first month into this school year, I realized quick but, healthy & filling meals is the only thing that will get us by during this busy season of life! SO, we’ve started stocking up on and using @oldelpaso Soft Tortilla Bowls every chance we get! They make GREAT breakfast bowls, easy snacks, and best of all: AMAZING dinner options for kids to eat during homework hour! Our most recent Tortilla Bowls we’re stuffed with black beans, purple cabbage, avocado, tomatoes, black olives, and shrimp sautéed with #oldelpaso Taco Seasoning! They were seriously THE BOMB DOT COM! What are you stuffing your Soft Tortilla Bowls with?! Head to my Stories to get them on Amazon! #TacoNightWin
