A bit of the weekend—according to my camera roll

A bit of the weekend—according to my camera roll (swipe!). Drove a few hours north to catch the last of the spring snow on the slopes. Ate our weight in unbelievable pizza. Wandered around beautiful Flagstaff. Tried to poke and annoy each other less in the car but we still have a ways to go there💆🏻‍♀️ Overall, a really good time. Looking forward to exploring Arizona more!

I had the best time chatting on @3in30podcast this

I had the best time chatting on @3in30podcast this week all about adventuring with kids (you can listen to the episode wherever you listen to podcasts). I shared a few stories from my new book, too!— because I love me an adventure and there are quite a few in A Coat of Yellow Paint that I hadn’t written in depth about before. ⁣
⁣
On the podcast, I shared a few takeaways I’ve found helpful as I’ve tried to invite a spirit of adventure into our family culture. My biggest takeaway is “every day instead of someday.” I really believe infusing a bit of adventure into our everyday doesn’t mean you have to get on some jet plane or have your passport stamped in order for the adventure to kick in. Cultivating an adventure mindset will help all of us make the mundane more magical and the mistakes more meaningful in our every day. All we have to do is invite the adventure into our everyday. Plus, you’re making memories that maybe the kids won’t totally remember (because you aren’t waiting for the “someday”), but that bond and magic and love you ARE creating each and every day from your adventures together builds something so very special in the process. ⁣
⁣
Thank you for such a fun conversation, @3in30podcast! Would love to hear you on ways you’ve grasped that adventure mindset and brought it into your everyday, too! Always love the insights and ideas so many of you mothers bring to the table!

I want to thank you for leaving so much love on my

I want to thank you for leaving so much love on my last IGTV video when I unboxed my book with my family and held it for the very first time. I’ll never forget that moment surrounded by all five of my babies and Josh and I’ll never forget the love I felt from so many of you when sharing that. Thank you. 💛⁣
⁣
This summer marks 14 years for me of sharing in the online space. So many of you have been here since those earliest days, long before the birth of social media or before I was a mother. I’ve leaned on and learned from many of you as I’ve navigated the ups and downs of life and I credit much of the growth and wisdom I’ve gleaned over the years from so many of you. Thank you for being a part of this community, for choosing to spend a few of your prized minutes with me each day and for your support as I bring my first book into the world. ⁣
⁣
The internet can be crappy and unkind and ridiculously dark a lot of the time, but I still believe there is a lot of good to be had, a lot of heartfelt connections to be made and a lot of love to be shared when we use this tool in a meaningful way. ⁣
⁣
I love you. 💛

The girls found my sunglasses stash and have declared shades to be worn while inside or out, at bedtime and also at breakfast. Definitely not optional during playtime or scooting. But you can maybe take them off during a bath. Haven’t gotten full clarity on that one yet. I feel so proud. 🕶

And bring along your mascot, to wave the checkered flag a lot! 🐣🥚Always a big fan of bringing toys into our home that encourage creativity and problem solving and endless hours of fun for the entire family. Thank you for doing such a great job of this, @hotwheelsofficial @mattel!

I love being a woman and I love raising daughters. May they know and never forget their worth, their strength, their power.💕
Thank you to all the women in my life, those I’m fortunate to know and lean on and learn from, and also all the women I have not met but have influenced my life in such positive ways. #happyinternationalwomensday #internationalwomensday
