The great thing is; these two have no idea that most days I’m just winging it. Now more then ever, it’s important we admit to ourselves this motherhood thing is hard and as long as we keep the small humans happy and fed we are totally winning at this #momlife ⁣

Grateful Warrior; a print from the lovely and tale Grateful Warrior; a print from the lovely and talented @lindsey.erin. A wonderful artist (for real check out her stuff) and person who inspires me daily with her creativity and positivity. ⁣
⁣
This print means so many different things to me in this season of my life. ⁣
It’s a reminder that I am a strong woman who doesn’t give up easily. Someone who aspires to do more, be more. As a partner, mother, friend. ⁣
⁣
It’s also a reminder to be grateful for the opportunities I have and the power of my light I send out into this world. I glance at it everyday, hanging in my office reminding me to be the grateful warrior that I am.⁣

We are officially closing out this year!!⁣ 2020 We are officially closing out this year!!⁣
2020 was a year full of many challenges but it held some amazing moments and opportunities as well. ⁣
⁣
We took a fun, much needed vacation at the beginning of the year with @carnival cruise line, got married @samosetresort on a whim, personally I grew my blog and met some pretty large goals I had set for myself this year and the kids stayed happy and healthy. So even with the bad, there was a lot of good.⁣

I’m hopeful that this New Year will bring even more opportunities and chances to grow and be a little less hard on others. ⁣
