Beatrice sandwich! And some of the very best pizza we have ever eaten behind us 🍕@pizzeriabianco
These two are obsessed with “Fancy Like” and mostly obsessed with watching @walkerhayes dance to Fancy Like with his family 😎😎 It’s currently their top pick for the bedtime song🎶 and here’s a snippet of what went down last night! #fancylike
“Mama— take a picture of this face…” he says. And I’m grabbing my camera and trying to contain my laughter as I think to myself, “I’m just the absolute luckiest to know this kid.” 💛 Everyone needs a mister Conrad in their life.
When you convince (bribe?) the entire family to take a family photo with the real camera 📸 ps- spot the camera remote😂
Sometimes I raise my voice. Sometimes I beg. Sometimes I make ultimatums. Sometimes I hate bedtime to the freaking goodnight moon and back.
But then they’ll grab my chin and cheeks and lean in close to tell me they love me. And they’ll thank Heavenly Father for “no witches and no robbers” during their bedtime prayers. And insist on giving each other 17 silly hugs before the lights go out because “I’m gonna miss her so much when I sleep.”
I’ll take the 48 minutes of squatting between their beds for back scratches and the unexpected trip to the potty 12 minutes after the last potty trip if it means they keep this bond forever. Witnessing their complete love and sisterhood changes me. Even when I say I hate bedtime with my three-year-olds, I’m such a sucker for this stage of life with them.
A few photos from life lately over here - enjoying family time and life in Arizona. Thanks for being here while I’ve kind of been away for a little while… haven’t been doing well physically (some health issues) but that doesn’t mean I haven’t stopped taking one too many photos☺️
The game of “Who Can Stand on Mama’s Back and Wiggle Their Feet Around Without Falling Off!” …which is really just code for “mama would like a back massage” but they think it’s crazy fun and my back knots are screaming happy so everyone wins. #momhacks
One wall and pipe at a time, the home renovation is coming together. 💛 #renovation #homedecor #wallpaper (wallpaper is @riflepaperco🌸)
Just over here holding all my (not-so-little) babies close and stepping away from pretty much everything else. Trying to cuss less and write more. Often feel on the cusp of big breakthroughs I want from my life (yay!) while simultaneously giving too much power to my anxiety (ugh). Clinging to my evening prayers and favorite yoga class and busting out the Christmas music a season early. My footing might be terribly wobbly at the moment and who wants to hear the girl on the verge of nervous tears dish out any kind of life advice, but for anyone else in a similar rut (I’m so sorry) – might I suggest the biggest serving of strawberry shortcake as a remedy. Plus standing outside during a warm rain (Arizona, you healer with a perfectly timed monsoon season, how’d you know?)… and maybe put the phone down more. Or whatever version of these three things might float your boat. I’m sure chocolate soufflé with a dose of sunshine instead of shortcake and rain could also do the trick. The phone one I’m sticking by though. Sending you lots of love.
Bringing our summer along with us forever by way of new freckles scattered across most of our faces! ✨ …you can see B’s first sprinkle of itty bitty dots across her little nose and cheeks in the 2nd pic and even with all the lathering of sunscreen and my blessed daily nagging about sun hats, I’m nothing but proud in this moment!🥳 #summer #motherhood #magic
We are slowly making our way back to Arizona this week (my kids school year begins August 2nd😱) and we’ve never been more out of routine (definitely missing black out curtains right about now) BUT we’ve clocked in so many striking sunsets and got to hold and hug so many loved ones, it’s been everything.
I meant to share earlier this week that Amazon is running a promo on my book right now through the end of the month (until 7/31)— use the code 3YELLOW for $3 off your book purchase!
If you’ve been considering purchasing, it’d mean so much to have you do so! Thank you for supporting me and my book and I hope you find it worth your while and time.
For those of you who have already purchased and read— if there was a takeaway or something that resonated with you as you read, would you consider sharing in the comments below for new potential readers to see?
Thank you again for your support! This has been such a vulnerable and thrilling and challenging and exciting and scary endeavor and I’ve really appreciated the support. 💛
Just trying to keep up with these three on the mountain and ignore how sore my butt is from my saddle😅
On a boat! With a lot of laughs! And a few tears. Plus a whole lotta sunscreen and a couple of epic tube flips 🚤
Our summer adventures are getting a little jumbled when it comes to me sharing anything in chronological order (a part of my brain is freaking out right now but another part of my brain is feeling a little bit more free.) Sparklers are our family’s happy place so we continued our 4th of July celebrating tonight with a few on the deck. Of all the summer activities so far, a box of sparklers a few days post holiday was Samson’s favorite. He hugged me so tightly at bedtime as he told me for maybe the 18th time how much fun he had tonight. Somehow I forget anything else I loved this summer… his enthusiasm for an evening of sparklers brought sparklers to the top of my favorite summer activities list, too. 🧨
The BEST time learning all about bees 🐝 with the bee expert herself @mckayjo in Salt Lake City. We haven’t stopped talking about all the impressive things those hard working bees do each day and somehow honey has made its way into more of our meals this week 😋 Thank you for having us, @mckayjo!
Congratulations!!! I hope you’re having a great day!
Love from Germany and some great news from here as well:

Hi Naomi,
I have only been following your blog for a few months but have since fallen in love with you and your little family. Happy birthday first off, (I too will be 28 this year) and second congrats on your third pregnancy! I’m also pregnant with our third, due any day now. Well I wanted to say how much I admire your work and this personal space here where you share your life. I couldn’t imagine living in NYC with two small children but you seem to be doing it splendidly. I admire the way you dote on your cute kids and always am inspired by other moms who seem to be doing a much better job of mothering than myself. I also love your personal fashion sense and it would be awesome to see more pictures of your outfits- I get inspiration from that as well! I hope year 28 brings you all you hope for and God bless you and your growing family. Elena
Happiest of Birthdays!!!

Hello sunshine!!!
It´s starting to be my little tradition to celebrate my B-day by posting a sweet “Happy birthday” comment on your blog. I did it last year and the year before and my wishes for you are still the same. Namely that all of the lovely stuff people wish me today for my B-day, such as happiness, health and a lot of loving people around me, will make their way to you too. I adore your little family and that you share the good times (but the bad days too) with us. And even when I am in the whole another situation than you in my life now, I truly enjoy seeing that there are still people, who are trying to be happy out there. Sending a lot of love from Slovakia, dear Taza.
Happy Birthday! I believe this picture makes everybody smile!
Take care!

I actually have a friend named “Can”. He is turkish and it is actually a very common Turkish name– I guess it is like John. It is actually pronounced like John. Anyway Eleanor may be onto something :) Congratulations on your wonderful addition.
Happy BDay!!! Hugs from Poland!!!! :*
Such a cute photo. Happy Birthday!

I was watching one of the suggested posts’ videos: Samson at 4 months. So funny! I am a medical student on my pediatrics rotation and he is doing everything a 4 month old is supposed to do developmentally. Don’t have to study that one, I’ll just remember his video! ;)
As a future physician, I love following your family. You do so much to keep them healthy and raise them in a loving environment. I wish you a wonderful pregnancy and all the best with the years to come. Congratulations to you and your husband!
Happy birthday! That picture is so beautiful! Your faces say everything (happy, blessed, happy!) Blessings today and always!
Belated happy birthday, Naomi! I hope 28 is year full of joy and blessing for you and your family. I did a style feature on you on my blog since you are one of my style icons. Please check it out!
