A handful of gratitude for a languid Monday evenin A handful of gratitude for a languid Monday evening ✨ • Easting sushi for supper picnic-style in the backyard together as a family 🍱 and watching the kids play in their sandbox and the dogs run around happily • Reorganizing and decluttering the playroom today and seeing how much the boys appreciated and love it 🥰 • A fun package of goodies arrived from @blossom_and_sage_ (can’t wait to share the deets!) 📦 • Finally making some headway through the never-ending piles of laundry that constantly plague this household 🧺 • This sweet spot my kids are in where they tell me they love me and randomly shower me with kisses and hugs and want to be picked up/carried places ❤️
Focus on what you can control // art + quote by @b Focus on what you can control // art + quote by @blessthemessy⁠ ⁠ // Back when I used to coach competitive youth soccer, one of my favorite quotes I would say to my girls was to "control the controllables." I'd remind them often - "you can't control the weather, the calls that the ref makes, the condition of the pitch, what the parents are yelling from the sidelines, or how the other team will play but you CAN control how you show up and what you leave on the field."⁠ ⁠ It took me years before I realized how valuable and applicable this quote is for everyday life. It's a good reminder for me to give myself most days. A grace for all of us to give ourselves. ❤️⁠
These two have been in cahoots since day 1. Still These two have been in cahoots since day 1. Still going strong in the hooligans club! 💙 They are practically inseparable. Their loyalty and love for one another runs deep. Don’t get me wrong... They fight like cats and dogs and some days it seems like a WWF throw down going on inside these walls. Sharing is not all it’s cracked up to be and life can be unfair sometimes and bedtime is “boring” and remembering to not jump on the couch is hard. But at the end of the day, having a built in best friend to spend your days with can’t be beat. 📷 by @katimallory
A handful of gratitude on a muggy Monday ❤️ T A handful of gratitude on a muggy Monday ❤️ The littlest is finally feeling better 🙌 • My online creative writing course is going really well and I have the most incredible people participating ✍️ • Wrote my morning pages today after a few months of not doing them 📝 • Made plans for dinner tonight before dinner time (this is a big one after how burnt out I’ve been on cooking lately!) 🍽 • Had a really good long talk with a friend earlier who encourages and inspires me and helps keep me grounded 🙏 What are you grateful for today? 🥰
The surf crashes around us, soaking the shorts I h The surf crashes around us, soaking the shorts I had not intended to wear this far out into the waves, rising up and swelling as high as your chest as you squeal with delight and steady yourself against the thrashing current. Your blue eyes shine so brightly, reflecting the sun and the water, burning the sound of your jubilant laughter into my memory forever. This is you in your truest element, the most wild and free I have ever witnessed your soul to be in your few short years of life. I would love to freeze this joy in my heart until the very end of time. I love you my little son-shine. ☀️❤️
Where do you prefer to get your fresh air and suns Where do you prefer to get your fresh air and sunshine? ☀️🌿 If I had to choose one favorite place I'd have to say... the beach. I've always been an outdoor enthusiast though so really, I love to soak it in almost anywhere - beach, river, lake, mountains, my back yard... it's always such a game-changer for a slumpy day. Nothing turns a bad day around faster for our crew.⁠ ⁠ // “Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat. In our mad rush for progress and modern improvements, let’s be sure we take along with us all the old-fashioned things worthwhile.” - Laura Ingalls Wilder / art by @1canoe2⁠ ⁠
It’s one of those days where I don’t have a we It’s one of those days where I don’t have a well-thought out caption to share but I really wanted to post this. I love a good quote and they always catch my eye when other people share them so I’m in a permission-giving “you do you” mindset for myself with IG today. I feel like this social media platform has begun to evolve into a space where we have to “give the people what they want” if we want to stay “relevant” in the algorithm but the rebel in me just isn’t having it. And mostly for two main reasons, one being that I’m too dang busy in my life to spend hours upon hours creating Reels and perfectly curated posts that don’t align with my values or best intentions. And secondly because when I started this journey and created this account, I decided that it would be a space that I would “keep it real” and hold space for us to show up as our most genuine authentic selves. I want to BE here sharing the things that bring me joy. Things that inspire me... motivate me. I want this space to offer solidarity and connection. The messy right alongside of the beautiful. I’m NOT here with intent to beat an algorithm or exhaust my creative energies producing content that doesn’t meet me where I want to be. Let’s buck the system, take back these small squares for ourselves (and each other!) and let our hearts lead the way!
A handful of gratitude for a sunshiney afternoon ☀️ 🏖 A morning well spent boogie boarding and playing with our friends on the beach 🦀 Plans for a delicious seafood steamer pot for supper 💤 Being lulled to sleep for afternoon naps by sound of crashing waves 🐚 Pocketfuls of seashells that the boys keep bringing me to carry home for them 💙 The comfortable way old friends fall into sync with each other and time slows down to hold onto these moments together @crgrahamcrna
