Sunshine // "May the sunshine of comfort shine through the gloom of despair."⁠⁣⁠⠀
⁠⁣⁠⠀
How is everyone hanging in? We go back and forth over here. I would love to seal up our bubble, but Ryan is still needed at the hospital for essential surgeries. So we're doing our best, taking as many precautions as we can, and living life in the all of the moments in between.⁠⁣⁠⠀
⁠⁣⁠⠀
But these kids? Their life marches on. Here's Charlotte enjoying her first spring. Turns out she loves grass. She treated it like her very own baby buffet and was proud of it.⁠⁣⁠⠀
⁠⁣⁠⠀
Carter's working to master his new bike. That kid is the definition of determination. He falls over and over and yet still gets right back up. ⁠⁣⁠⠀
⁠⁣⁠⠀
So when it starts feeling heavy, keep looking for those highlights. They're there, I promise. ⁠⁣⁠⠀
⁠⁣⁠⠀
What have been some of yours?⁠⁣⁠⠀

Spa Trip // My self care tank was feeling low, so

Spa Trip // My self care tank was feeling low, so I escaped to the spa this week. It was a simple stroll... all the way down the stairs and into my home office. Glorious. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Simply closed the doors and turned the lock to preserve the peace. Ignored all sounds of chaos coming from the living room. That was Dad's problem.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Leisurely browsed through countless color options. Opted for a shade of pale pink with a hint of lavender. Perfect for spring.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
5/5 stars. Would highly recommend. It was a much-needed break, even if I couldn't leave the house. Right now it's the little things.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I hope you're still finding moments for yourself, momma. You deserve it. You need it. We are ALL better for it. However that looks for you.⁣⁠⠀

There Will Still Be Rainbows // Times are weird. I

There Will Still Be Rainbows // Times are weird. I think it would be easy to adopt a negative worldview right now. In times of trauma, we see the best and worst of humanity. I especially find myself getting enraged at selfishness right now. It would be easy to focus on that.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
But there will still be rainbows. I'm making daily choices to SEE THE GOOD. The slower pace. The collaboration. The innocence of children who are too young to notice changes. The people who still head out into the world every day to tackle this. If you ask my son why Daddy isn't here, he will tell you it's because Daddy has to help people.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
This perspective gave me such hope. We have the power to fix this. We just need time. Each one of us can play a big part in that.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
"This will end with humanity victorious over yet another virus, there’s no question about that. The question is how much and how fast we will take the measures necessary to minimize the damage that this thing can do. In time, we will have therapeutics, we will have vaccines, we’re in a race against that.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
And it’s going to take great cooperation and patience from the general population to play their part because at the end of the day it’s going to be the general population that stops this thing and slows it down enough to get it under control. " --Dr. Bruce Aylward, via Time⁣⁠⠀

Making Memories // It's been rainy and waterlogged

Making Memories // It's been rainy and waterlogged here in Ohio. We're playing outside anyway. Carter was campaigning for the sprinkler, but instead I convinced him to play in a mud puddle with water table toys.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I was super proud of him because this is my guy who hates pretty much anything messy. He might have played with a single finger most of the time and he definitely changed clothes 3 or 4 times each time he got mud on them... but he did it! AND he had fun. So much fun that he wanted to go outside again the next day.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Truth be told, this isn't my comfort zone either. I hate messes. I had just done alllll the laundry and ended up with more. It was rainy and cold. I'd rather be inside under a blanket. I'd rather read or do puzzles or bake together. But trying new things is where the magic happens. Maybe we'll make mud pies next.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
What new things are you trying in this season? I'd love some inspiration!⁣⁠⠀

Captain's Log // How is everyone? For our kiddos, it has very much been life as usual. I'm thankful that they are both young enough that they don't have to carry any worries or fear. ⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
Being self employed, I've already been working from home but I've been creating new content + branding resources for other small businesses. Many are using this time to increase their online efforts. Others are using this as a push to launch that new dream business, a bold move I'm here to support.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Ryan continues to work at the hospital, though they're limiting surgeries to only essentials. We're trying to take extra precautions, but not let fear run the show with his risk of exposure.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Carter misses his grandparents and friends, but we've been doing lots of "happy face" calls, aka FaceTime. He also asked for McDonald's yesterday, four year old priorities you know.⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
Charlotte girl keeps getting all dressed up with nowhere to go, but a lady needs her outfits and accessories. ⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
Mostly it makes me really happy that we have each other. Do you have someone in your corner? We may be physically isolated, but emotional connections are important. ⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
So is supporting small businesses, for as long as you can.⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
What are you doing right now to keep as much of your "normal" as possible?⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
Here are some of ours:⁠⁣⠀
-ordering favorite takeout⁠ from local stores⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
-organizing neighborhood window scavenger hunts⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
-sharing small businesses on social media to raise awareness⁠, whether you can afford to shop or not⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
-sending silly videos back and forth with our friends⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
-taking advantage of online educational opportunities, like video safaris from zoos or authors reading their books⁠⁣⠀
⁠⁣⠀
-spending time outside as much as possible⁠⁣⠀
⁣⠀

Raising Girls // I prayed for this girl long befor

Raising Girls // I prayed for this girl long before we were ever blessed to have her in my belly. It sounds crazy, but I could literally feel her out there.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Before I was ever pregnant I had said in a perfect world, I'd have a son and then a daughter. My own brother is six years older than I am and I looked up to him so much. I pictured my own son watching out for his little sister some day.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Well... if you've met my kids, then you probably know where this is going. My Carter man is a sweet, sensitive little soul. He can be wild and has a ton of energy, but I have a feeling he's going to be a gentle giant. I watch him wait so patiently to take turns on the play ground. I listen the sweet way he soothes his sister.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
But Charlotte? She's feisty! Right out of the gate, there was just a spark about her. I wasn't sure I was going to survive her for the first six months. In truth, I think Carter will be the one having his little sister chase the bullies away.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
"We have to be the women we want our daughters to be." — Brené Brown⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
This girl is teaching me a lot. I can't wait to see who she becomes. And I pray that I'm the role model she needs.⁣⁠⠀

Raising Boys // I think a lot about the man this guy will become. Of course I pray for his health and safety, but I also pray for his kindness, his joyful heart, and his contribution to others.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Every day he is watching and learning, primarily from me since we are home together. I hope he learns the value of hard work and the satisfaction of helping others.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I hope he also learns that sometimes it's okay to stop it all and just play. He has definitely made me more spontaneous.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I hope he learns to be present, really present. To be intentional with his friendships.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
"The years will rush by, and one day you will be watching your son as a man, and feeling incredibly proud that he is caring, safe, making a contribution, and hopefully going far beyond you in the scope of his life." --Steve Biddulph⁠⁣⁠⠀
