✨We let our kids have a YES day!✨. VLOG. I know, I thought we were crazy too 😂😂! If you watched my stories, you‘ve seen bits & pieces of our day...but even this full length video, isn’t everything! We had such a great day letting the boys choose our adventures!

The No.1 asked question: How did you/did you have to say “no?” Nope!

To keep from bogging down our day with no’s and frustration, we set a few rules the morning of! Just some simple yet, clear guidelines:

1. No screen time- We weren’t saying “yes” to YES day just to let them choose playing on tablet or having a TV free-for-all all day so, this was the first rule.

2. Spending limit- We told them how much we would be okay with saying “yes” to, spending wise. This also came with a stipulation: we’re not spending on toys, only activities & food! It’s a YES day. Not a “buy junk, eat bad food, & have screen time” kind of day!

3. Nothing dangerous or against the law-lol I feel like this is obvious & also laughable but, for one of our kids...it had to be said. 😂

ARE YOU UP FOR A YES DAY?! 🙌🏻

✨STRETCH MARKS ✨For years I struggled with my

✨STRETCH MARKS ✨For years I struggled with my stretch marks showing. I only wore one piece swim suits, put a hard pass on crop tops and tied tees, and to this day have a closet that’s home to strictly high waisted jeans. Over time though, I’ve grown to slowly accept my body as it is in whatever it is I want to wear. Sinking and stretched belly button, scarred tummy, and wrinkled thighs...those are parts of my body I never felt confident enough to expose. It’s because of this community that I’ve been able to overcome this irrational fear of not being accepted or liked online because of how my body looks. With each “yes girl” and “this makes me less self conscious about my own body” comment paired with filling my feed of body positive creators/artists, I become more and more accepting of my own skin. It has become SO freeing. I don’t feel as trapped as I once was and I owe that to all of you! ♥️ THANK YOU 🙌🏻

☀️ Hey Sunshine! This post sponsored by the su

☀️ Hey Sunshine! This post sponsored by the sun. (Not really but, I feel like it totally could be! 💁🏼‍♀️ ) DAILY CHALLENGE!

Have you ever felt low on energy, tired, and aggravated for seemingly no reason? Girlfriend. Get yourself out and expose your skin to some Vitamin D! 30 daily minutes of late morning sunlight + fresh air keeps our bodies healthy in so many ways and can rejuvenate lost energy! 🙌🏻 If you watch my stories often, you know how much we love our family walks each day! It breaks up the chaos of our day and exposes us and the boys to their needed Vit D.

This weekend, I challenge you to set and start a new goal of making the time for a daily walk this week while you say “hey!” to the sun! Raise you’re hand if you’re in! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

Raise your hand if you feel like you’re constant

Raise your hand if you feel like you’re constantly sanitizing surfaces?! #AD As a mom, I can’t tell you how many sanitizing wipes we go through. It’s unreal. But I’ve been using this really nifty compact UV-C Light kit from @UVLightSanitizerCo to knockout 99.9% of germs and bacteria in 10 seconds on inanimate surfaces like my car keys, Deck’s snack mat, our phones, and so much more! We’re saving cash on wipes and waste in landfills! Head to my stories to see it in action! #UVLightSanitizer

Wellness Check! ☀️ I know I’m not at my best

Wellness Check! ☀️ I know I’m not at my best today or really, at all this week. Loss is never easy but, I’m beginning to feel it’s harder as an adult because no parent is taught how to help their child cope through grief. We’re starting our healing process with being present during our family time, social media breaks, and lots of neighborhood walks full of sunshine. ☀️

But, what truly helps me heal is uplifting others and sharing in YOUR happy moments! So, do me a solid and tell me one awesome thing you’ve done or that’s happened to you this week! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

After you share your success, congratulate the person above you! Let’s build up this community! 🙌🏻♥️

With the current state of our now long-term pantry

With the current state of our now long-term pantry renovation, for the last 13 weeks weekends have meant spending as much time away from home as possible. We spend time out so the boys aren’t getting in the way of the work being done or risking exposure to the saw dust. It also means A LOT more close hugs and carries for our youngest boys and hand holds for the oldest. It’s the time we have together each week when we’re creating really treasured memories. No pre planning i’s ever involved. James is usually buckling the boys into their seats while I run around the house collecting whatever I see laying around that might come in handy for our day...swim suits, extra pants, a sweater for our kid who’s always cold. To be completely honest, I love it that way. The spontaneity adds to the excitement and somehow seems to get us on the road quicker 🙌🏻 I love these days. We get up early, we’re on the road to who knows where, and we come home ready to crash. They’re the best days!

If someone would have told me ten years ago that I

If someone would have told me ten years ago that I’d be a mom of four sons, no little girl with bows, barbies, or twirl dresses in site, I probably would have smacked you and cried myself to sleep. For as long as I can remember, I envisioned having a daughter. Maybe because I know I’m over the top and wanted to play real life “baby doll” lol or maybe because of how close I am with my mom. But as the years have passed, I’m constantly reminded how lucky I am to be a mom to sons. Every time I leave the house FIVE guys kiss me, EIGHT little feet and two big ones come running out of the kitchen to hug me so that TEN hands can wave goodbye. We’re messy, so many things in our house are broken (some that will costs in the hundreds to repair lol), someone gets nailed with a fist daily and sometimes left with a shiner, and our house is ALWAYS LOUD. But I honestly wouldn’t change it for one daughter because the love that comes from this chaos is...man, it’s so good.
