Oh hey, Portland. It’s starting to look and feel like summer ❤️

I didn’t know Carrie Underwood could get any more talented, but that show was amazing! Thanks for the invite @foxyface915 and @tumsticks !! 😄

This is my “WTF, we’re STILL lifting?!” face. And I felt the bicep pump for a good hour after 😂 Thanks, @joelfreemanfitness for how much #liift4 can do in around 30 minutes!

Happy birthday, Kaden!!

He climbed into bed with me at his usual wake up time and then promptly fell back asleep ❤️ He is my physical touch kid, always seeking connection.

Nature and nurture...the dance and the dichotomy between the two has been at the forefront of my mind lately, made apparent on our flight home from Maui. We heard a baby cry as we were settling in before takeoff, and my 8-year old daughter turned to me with a little smirk and an eye roll and said, “well, we’re going to hear that the whole flight!” I chuckled and reminded her that she too was a baby once. Almost instantly after, this little guy became sad-faced and solemn. “Awww, Mom! That poor baby is crying. Poor little guy must be scared.” And that, my friends, is nature. I have raised these two kids with as much consistency and regard for empathy as I can possibly muster, and the one who has had four more years with me drilling her with lessons of compassion was the one to show the least of it when confronted with the same situation. Parents, try your best. Do! Work hard to instill moral lessons of love and grace to your children. But do not beat yourself up if after nearly two handfuls of years they still get annoyed when a baby cries. 😉 Some of this stuff swirling around our hearts and heads is really just nature, as determined as the sun and unavoidable as the tides. And that’s what makes it all so messy and wonderful.
