I have three peace lilies, one of which I’ve had for over ten years, and I still get giddy when they bloom. Simple, low maintenance but totally elegant, I always interpret their blooms as something promising and hopeful on the horizon. Happy Sunday friends! PS I’ve reached the point in this pregnancy that I can feel more specific body parts on the baby. Definitely gave his booty (or maybe his head) a playful little spank today. 🕊💜🦁 #flashesofdelight #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #theartofslowliving #interiorrewilding #motherhoodunplugged #shelfie
I know we finally don’t have feet of snow outside but would it be too much to ask for a good down pour to wash away all this dirt? 🕊💜🦁 #letthembelittle #theartofslowliving #honestmotherhood #darlingweekend #flashesofdelight
It’s the first day of spring! Feeling really grateful lately for just about everything and, man, does it feel good to appreciate the things that I’ve worked very hard for and also the things that have stumbled into my future. The sunshine helps but so does a really open heart. Happy Spring Equinox friends! 🕊💜🦁 #26weekspregnant
My very own lil pot of gold. Happy St. Patrick’s Day friends. 🕊💜🦁
Today’s all of Leo’s wildest dreams came true when we visited the Oak Creek Wildlife Area for what the rangers are saying is the last weekend of elk! Leo is strangely obsessed with deer and elk videos and has actually gotten quite good at elk bugeling. Going out on the truck for the feeding and watching the seriously massive heard come down the mountain was hypnotizing to him after he got the initial manic excitement out of his system. And tbh having never been to this preserve myself I was kinda hypnotized too. Really impressive to see animals in those numbers especially coming down what essentially looked like a cliff face. Happy Saturday friends! 🕊💜🦁
Lots of beauty in simplicity. Happy Thursday friends. Xo 🕊💜🦁
Toddlers are wild, man. I worry sometimes that I am boring Leo and not stimulating him enough with activities and learning opportunities. You can put a lot of work in for relatively low pay out as far as a kid being actually interested in your good faith attempt to let their little neurons fire away. I found @busytoddler recently and have been really happy with their inexpensive, fast and easy ideas for keeping kids entertained and learning. In a semi delirious state from Sudafed and lack of sleep I am working on making Leo a color sorting box with popsicle sticks while he ‘counts stars’. Parenthood...who learns more? The kid or the adult? 🕊💜🦁
Happy monthiversary my Little Dove. Had so many moments of you this past couple weeks and I am so thankful. Closer to three than two and the changing of seasons have been hard on me, thanks for being near. Hugs and kisses and all my love little girl. We love you so very, very much. 🕊💜🦁
