Happy 5 months Woody guy! Rolling, scooting, grabbing, laughing, growling, and drinking out of a straw (🤯) This stage is hard to beat!!⠀
⠀
Here is the face he made watching anyone take a bite of food, gaze boring into your soul, tracking the fork from your plate to your mouth. Needless to say he is thrilled to be getting some veggies this month!🥗

Oh man my DMs broke my heart in half last night.

Oh man my DMs broke my heart in half last night. It seems like we’re all trying to dig deep and find something good through this covid + school mess. Advocating for our kids, for ourselves, for our work, for the teachers all at once. Maybe we all lose a little bit. But also wondering what we might gain from the year that keeps on giving! 🥵 What are your plans this Fall? How are you feeling about them? ••• Totally unrelated photo but a few of you saw potential + double dog dared me to give this shoulder pad tee that was headed for the trash. And actually? I don’t hate it! 🤔😂 (Maybe the photo does relate after all!)

So often this has been a place for me to come for

So often this has been a place for me to come for encouragement. To share my highs and lows, my ideas and my questions. Today - this guy’s 9th birthday - is a good day to return the favor. ⠀
⠀
You long timers know that I have struggled deeply knowing how to best raise Cal. I have cried more times than I can count, I have had my lowest parenting moments, ones that still fill me with shame to this day. I have screamed into pillows and into the sky at God. Begged to be changed into the mother who said and did the right things. ⠀
⠀
And it was not overnight, you all know I have tried.it.all., but over the last couple years our relationship, and Cal, found some ease. I started noticing tantrums spacing themselves out. He began to go days, weeks, months. I noticed myself saying the right things, doing the right things, making him feel safe, loved, heard. Our loved ones noticed a change in us too. ⠀
⠀
We laugh, connect, embrace, really look at each other again. I love this boy more than I can say, but I also remembered I like him, too. And I like myself when I am with him. He has somehow become my easiest child 🤯 (all kids can be difficult in their own ways, but still, there’s easier ones, right?)⠀
⠀
My encouragement is this. For whatever obstacles you’re facing in your life — HOLD ON. You were given this mountain to show others (and yourself) that it can be moved. ••• ⠀
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEYMAN. Thank you for moving this mountain with me. For never giving up, for forgiving and saying sorry everyday, so that we could find this happy place together. The view was worth the climb.

If a 4 year old makes 5 full-body concentric circles per hour from 10 pm to 6 am, how many times did he kick me in the face last night? #mommath #camping

Naively, I thought quarantine would be more reading and sipping icy beverages than it was. 😆 I’ve read two books since March and admittedly only finished them after I discovered the one AirPod trick. Reviewing them + my kids latest book craze on Small Fry today. What are you guys reading lately?!

VAN FAQ! ⠀
It’s a Nissan NV 3500! It seats 12, depending on what we’re doing we take benches out, but majority of the time we have seating set up for 10 for extra trunk space. We bought it off the lot (@nissansouthtowne ) with the lift, rims, bigger tires, ladder + roof rack and that’s all we’ve done to it. We don’t have the 4WD kit, but honestly haven’t needed it and we drive a sketchy canyon all Winter long! ⠀
⠀
I’m grateful to have a running vehicle period. But for the sake of an honest review...⠀
⠀
CONS - I dragged my feet at first because I didn’t think I could handle it’s size. I had an Armada years ago and wrecked it like 6 times in 1 year.🙈 Traumatizing slash the worst driver??⠀
You definitely have to take turns and curves more carefully with it so just naturally I don’t drive quite as bat out of hell-y, happy to say I’ve been incident free the last year+! ⠀
⠀
But, cons— flipping a U is LOL, the roof rack it puts us at 7.5ft so we don’t make all clearances, and you can’t do drive thru car wash (get on this @quickquackutah @soniccarwash🙏🏼) With one sliding door it’s harder to get to the inner seats so cleaning that side out is always a real treasure trove. We have a 3rd car (old Jeep) that I take when I don’t have all the kids. Maybe just our model, but the dash and interior feels really stock and basic. I’m sure upgradable.⠀
⠀
PROS - My friend was watching me load it up the other day and she was like “Oh my gosh you like it now, don’t you??” CAUGHT!😂 I do!! With the circumstances of our life and how we like to enjoy it, makes SO much sense. To have all our kids + car seats, their friends all safely buckled in, stroller + wagon, umbrellas and blankets, kayaks, paddle boards, lifejackets, towels, a cooler and beach chairs, leg room and a good view (helps with car sickness.) This beast has never slowed us down or stopped us from having a good time.

Also to grab a few other FAQ — the kid kayaks are @lifetimeproducts and the best deal I found was $89 at Sams Club! Paddle boards are Wavestorm from Costco 4 years ago. If you have room to store them, we love these! Otherwise, my friends have and love their inflatable versions!
