⁉️Do you ever feel overwhelmed during the holiday season? So many times I put so much pressure on myself to make everything as perfect as I can make it, that I’m not able to just stop and enjoy. 🎁Being present is the greatest gift and so I decided to do a lot of things different this year. It’s been a battle for me not to revert to my old ways and try to do it all, but I’m learning. I decided not to make homemade gifts this year, buying a lot less gifts, I’m not sending out

When I read the words she wrote about me last week it felt like I got punched in the gut. 🤛🏼I had never heard anyone make fun of my “in their opinion” physical “flaw” before. And honestly, it sent me over the edge that day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It popped up in my facebook notifications and it was cruel and others joined in. 🥺 Unfortunately I had already been struggling with comparison, and feelings of not being good enough that day. So it hit me extra hard.  I know their comme

Yesterday I tried to be off my phone most of the day. We went to church with our family, and a nice hike with them, and breakfast at our favorite spot. It was so freeing and amazing to just be present. I need more of that in my life. Trying to find the balance between the hustle and just being present. Have any pointers on staying present during this busy season? Love hearing from you!

Happy Weekend! Caleb and I are on a little adventure today. ❤️We’re trying to make it to the snow from Los Angeles. ❄️What are you doing this weekend? Outfit: @lulus #snow #fun

What’s your work space like? This is how I’ve been working lately. Since I’m an entrepreneur, small business owner, I’m my own boss. I need to find ways to motivate myself. So I tell myself: "I’m not allowed to go for a walk until I finish XYZ” for example. But I get so antsy just sitting at my desk, and I know it’s not good for my health. I’m so grateful to now have this @flexispot_sitstandmove #GetFlexiFit #sponsored. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been such a blessing for me! I eit

Shattered sight. 💔Has this ever affected you? Watching Once Upon A Time last night I had tears in my eyes when one of the characters receives the “curse of shattered sight.” She once held her loved one on a pedestal. Only seeing the good in her, the beautiful, lovely praiseworthy things. But after her eyes were affected by shattered sight she was only able to see the hurt and pain. Only the bad things about her loved one. And it caused such turmoil and devastation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The question ⁉️we get asked a ton in life (and on our instastory ask me anything) is “When are you going to have kids.” ⁉️Caleb and I have been married over 5 years so this question makes sense for sure. I got so many messages when I responded “we’re still not sure if we’re going to have kids or not.” There were so many sweet messages from you guys, saying what great parents you think we would be. ___ We appreciate all the love and support so much. ❤️There are so many factor

It’s Dec 3rd, the day my life changed forever,✨ on this day last year. I know it sounds dramatic, but it’s true. The day I received my first dog, Honey Bear 🍯 🐻 @honeybearthepom . At least half the days of my childhood, I asked for a dog. It’s all I asked for as a Christmas present some years. I tried everything but my dad wouldn’t budge. I wanted a dog the entire time I was an adult,  but every apartment I lived in wouldn’t allow it. I spent countless hours/days looking up
