It’s not the shelves, the books, the sheepskin or the leather chair that makes a house feel like a home. It’s the beauty that’s dreamt of, the conversations had, the life lived. That is home. The rest is simply a reflection. - - - - - #unstructuredthoughts #renewandreflect #littlemoments #wellnessblogger #thisisyoga #flowlikewater #iamwellandgood #mindbodygreen #mindbodygram #livingwell #balancedlife #selfcarealways #wellbeing #farmhousestyle #thelibrary #thestudy #homesweethome #interiors #livethelittlethings #myhappyhome #theartoflivingslow #apartmenttherapy #interiorlover #actualinstagramhomes #modernrustic #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #feelfreedfeed

Nothing is more satisfying to me than being with people who are devoted to lifting up other people. This past week I’ve had the honor of working on a team who’s mission was just that. I’m full of gratitude for the participants and team who are causing community through the practice of @baptisteyoga and for @baronbaptisteyoga who powerfully holds the space for us all to grow. 💕✨ • • • #whybaptisteyoga #baptisteyoga #sweatlife
Maybe it was all the back-to-school photos or the fact that an iced coffee was calling my name, but I sprung for the booties and cardigan today...and it was WAY to warm! But the man and I had a day date and I just feel more “dressed” in layers so I rocked it. • The bump and I are between 29 and 30 weeks and I’m more in love with this munchkin than ever. I wondered to Mitch at lunch whether I’ll be 28 or 29 when baby comes (since I’m due on my birthday) and that got us musing about our annual Halloween party, as you do in mid August 🙄 and I think we’re just gonna go for it. Babe’s due 10/26, so it’s a little risky, but these little people are so unpredictable with their grand entrances. Could be early, will probably be late. I’ve thought all along we’re gonna have a November birth, so may as well have one last pumpkin-filled, candy-collecting bonfire under the moon, sipping hot cider and cocoa beforehand right? • Can we tell I’m over summer yet? 😳 Fall and I are ready to get it on 🍂🍁 What are your end-of-summer/ start-of-fall plans? Were your babes early or late? Did you make plans close to your due date or play it safe? #29weekspregnant #dreamingofautumn
When I was a girl, all our make believe games were setting up and keeping little houses for our babies. We built immaculate worlds and characters just to dress and keep tidy. Now as an adult, I’m tapping into that to find wonder in all the little chores and maintenance life requires. • We started back into the cloth diaper game a month or so ago, and I really wanted it to be fun again. My two youngest brothers were cloth diapered (👋🏻 @gregarious_gamer + @samuel.l.harvey 😊) and I honestly have the best memories helping @acottagegirl out with it. • So far, there are definitely the smelly gross parts that are unavoidable. The parts that make it swell, apart from saving money and putting less in the landfill, are hanging my covers to dry like this in the sun, letting Phoenix be a part, and choosing the scent of the diapers by adding different essential oils to my wool dryer balls. • Full disclosure: I still pack disposables in the diaper bag and opt for them most nights, but this hybrid game of using seven-year-old cloth diapers more often than not, and supplementing with disposables when we need to is working out. • I mean, if ya gotta deal with shit, may as well find some joy in right? How do you make the shitty tasks in your life more grand? Anyone else feel like it’s a superpower to make chores a game?
#28weeks and I think I’m beyond nesting at this point. I’ve been painting, caulking, patching holes, and scraping walls, and I’ve got the drywall in my hair to prove it. I couldn’t be happier. When we decided to buy our first home and grow this little family of ours, this is what I dreamed of. Projects together while we listened to books on tape, putting our sweat and love into the place that shelters us and holds our memories. This little nursery is going to hold oh so many, I get all smiley and weepy just thinking about them. 🖤 • The twice-a-month baby appointments start now. I drank the glucose juice this morning for my gestational diabetes test, got the rogam shot in my booty, and had the last blood drawn for labs. Whew! Home stretch and baby is head down, crazy active, measuring right on schedule and still nameless. I’ve gotta be the most particular and indecisive baby namer on the planet!! 🙈 Tell mama your name little love. I can’t wait to know you and hold you and snuggle you up in this cozy corner room with the most beautiful evening light. It’s going to be magical. • P.s. The indecisiveness over paint color is over. Thanks for all your help! Results were super even, but I’ve got a good feeling about Grey Wisp for our trim. Gotta finish the ceiling this week, then paint goes on this weekend!! #nesting #28weekspregnant #bumpdate
