Today’s 15 month check up for Jake was ROUGH to say the least. Talking about it a little in stories. Wore the ultimate momiform today- these are the @lululemon align joggers, and I’ve lived in them lately. They are butter soft, loose in the leg, but fitted in the seat to keep the look polished. They’re also great for travel- wore them on a flight recently. #momstyle #momstyleblogger #momiform #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodsimplified #affordablestyle #casualstyle #athleisure #athleisurewear #lululemon #lifedailymoms #lifestyleblogger #honestmommin #joggerpants #littlestoriesofmylife #scarymommy #aboutalook #styledbyme #themommydiary #theeverygirl #sharetheeverygirl #sharetheeverymom #theeverymom

• The good list: tagging along to the mission (Alyssa had an art history assignment), celebrating Wally’s adoption day, time with Summer

I’m cheeky. I’m cute. I’m smart as heck. I whine almost all day. I pull my sisters hair a lot and steal her toys. I fight to go in the car seat. I wake my sister up from all naps. I pee through my diaper. I make my Mom and Dad laugh so much. I love climbing all over my big brother. Did I mention I whine all day??! Mom says it’s a good thing I’m cute. I don’t really know what she means by it but man does she say it often.

a new collection went up today over at @olivejunevintage for @trouvaillemarket 🌱 #livinglifethrifted

The key to a happy life abroad is friends and while my expat buddies are my rock, local friends are vital too. Otherwise it's just one farewell party after the other, right? 😔 For every country move my husband & I have been warned how hard it is to make local friends. But we made Belgian friends in Antwerp, Swiss friends in Lausanne and Angolan friends in Luanda. Sometimes it's been hard, for example in Brussels, where 99% of our friends were from abroad. But on the whole we've found it easy, especially here in Chile. Maybe we're lucky, maybe we just buy good chocolates / wine, maybe we just don't understand the local language and they actually don't like us at all. 🙄 Hey ho, this photo is from last weekend, where we were invited (I think...!) to join a beautiful family at their holiday place. So damn grateful. 🇨🇱😍 Now I'm curious about other places... how easy is it to make local friends in your country?

Woo, can’t believe mama’s baby will be 5 months tomorrow. I love these pictures of him. Still trying to figure out where time is going? I just want to cuddle my kids and keep them small forever. The genuine happiness they fill me with is just crazy. I’m sure some of you can relate. I love you so much Krew 😭🖤 >. .< >. .< >. .< #bedeeplyrooted #bestofkrew #bestofmom #holdthemoments #ig_motherhood #habitandhome #letthembelittle #oneofthebunch #livethelittlethings #shotoniphone #myeverydaymagic #new #littlestoriesofmylife #meetthemoment #thehappynow #momentsofmine #familyfirst #documentingmotherhood #girl #mamablogger #candidchildhood #clickinmoms #mommyandme #our_everyday_moments #myquietbeauty #mytinytribe #lovemyfam #pocket_sweetness #iphoneography #iphoneonly

❘June 24th 2019❘ There’s so much beauty in the transition into motherhood. As much as there is beauty there is struggle. Instagram does such a good job closing that curtain on the reality of these early hardships. Stories of other’s experiences can only prepare you enough.. - My experience at first felt euphoric as if I went through a portal one Wednesday night and arrived into Thursday as a new person, sharing my life with this little soul I get to call mine. That soul and mine were both born and reborn. We’ve challenged each other; tip-toeing to keep balance of my sanity while trying to give my daughter everything she needs. Her demands started low and grew higher and higher. My body didn’t and still doesn’t feel like my own. Each child is different, every single one has a unique story. These stories bend a mother’s capabilities. I’m trying to hold on to what I am capable of and what I am doing right. Support from my family has been gold to me. Allowing myself to lean on their love for my child so I can have windows to care for myself. This challenge continues, and my love grows deeper as it becomes harder. From now on I’ll know that these tough moments transform into ones that bring us unimaginable joy, and that it’s all worth it.

Sooooo much editing to do but not mad about it at all cause we’ve been getting to hang with some pretty rad couples & families lately. Also can we talk about this golden light that we got on Friday?! I feel like San Francisco hasn’t seen really sunshine in a bit 🌅 - #photofloodstudio

Yesterday my lovely client sent me back the brand questionnaire and I‘m really proud of him ☺️ - The questionnaire is tough and goes really deep. But it‘s such an important part of this journey. It allows me to craft a brand identity that fits perfectly and has meaning and true depth behind it 🤓 Because pretty alone won‘t get you far or help you stand out in a saturated market. - Reading through the brand questionnaire is one of my favourite parts of the entire branding process 💛 I get to know my client and their dreams on a whole new level and that‘s so exciting. - Now please excuse me while I pour myself a cup of coffee, get comfortable and read my client‘s questionnaire and make notes and slowly get the creative gears turning 🤓 . . .

Things I never expected from parenting: how tired I would feel, how much I could love these little people, how often I would be surprised. Seriously. Sometimes these surprises are gross, or hilarious, but often they just leave me speechless. . Last weekend my eight year old sat for a good hour drawing a diagram filled with arrows and measurements (he makes the coolest diagrams!) and then set off to the garage on a mission. His brother joined him and all I could hear was sawing and hammering (they use tools a lot and are so safe, it’s wonderful, that’s some great training from their Dad). I hollered out to them a few times to check on them and then they triumphantly brought in a fully built bee hive complete with frames to show me. I’m sorry, but how ADORABLE is this?! It blew me away. . . . .#lifewithkids #cottagelife #rurallife #theartofslowliving #bees #beehive #honestmotherhood #motherhoodunplugged #momofboys #northernontario #verilymoment #simplicityparenting #slowliving #countrylife #littlestoriesofmylife #manitoulinisland

The best thing you can wear is a smile (and pants probably 😏). During grad school you had to figure out what your counseling style was going to be. I’ve always aligned with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In a basic nutshell it means that people’s thoughts are the cause of their ‘problems’. Change how a person thinks and that will help them. I believe this. Sometimes I see this in myself and I know I need to stop and change my thinking and mentality. Well, this #manicmonday had me stopping a couple times to change my thinking and attitude to be more positive. I’m not perfect by any means but who doesn’t want to choose more happiness and positivity over negativity? #mondaythoughts

Hello, sweet friends of mine!! Porter & I’s corner of the world is starting to come together. It most certainly isn’t all that clean because I don’t always do my share. Sorry babe! You da best!

Just this little fluffy butt and I today. She's already piked it so this mama is going to sit and enjoy a coffee without having to heat it up 34 times. Happy Tuesday loves, I hope it's a quick one for you all. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #momsbelike #momvibes #sharetheeverymom #realmomlife #pictureperfect #myview #ig_motherhood #dearestviewfinder #dream #holdthemoments #darlingmovement #raisingmytribe #joy #joyfulparenting #family #parenting #mama #visualcrush #dearphotographer #momentsofmine#belovedstories #flashofdelight#distractionsandinspirations #momtogs #littlestoriesofmylife #findmoments #seekmoments #shootandstare #ig_hub

🌹🌹🌹Remember to stop and smell the roses. 🌹🌹🌹 Oregon doesn't need filters in the summer. 😍 我決定啦。之前我覺得我把旅行的時間拉長就是緩慢的旅行，但是時間拉長的同時我卻一直想要在最短的時間看到最多的地方。接下來的旅行我要在一個我喜歡的地方待久一點，這樣不僅可以慢慢把應該交差的工作做完，也不會再因為認識酷的人後馬上就要離開而難過。 #nofilters #roses #quotes #instagood #goodvibes #flowers #healthyliving #快樂 #幸福 #feliz #calm #happiness #quote #peace #composition #photogram #felicidade #littlestoriesofmylife #mindfullness #felice #color #healthylife #thehappynow #life #moment #nature #urban #home #travel #travellife

Sweet Spot Style Tip: Work hard. Play hard. I’m not really a big party person but I do like quiet time on the water with a friend, cuddling with big furry dogs and exploring new places. You might think that in order to make money doing work you love that you will have to sacrifice your soul, or at least give up things that are important to you. That is old-school thinking my friend. The amount of money you make has nothing to do with how many hours you work (if you’re an entrepreneur). It has everything to do with your mindset and how smart you work. Mantra: I can make a lot of money AND have free time to do the things I enjoy 🌈 Thank you @mymamahoodjourney for a lovely weekend full of baby gurgles, lake views, late night talks, yoga, and getting caught in the rain 🙏🏻💋💦

After 15 hours of travel (2 flights + a 2.5 hour drive) we finally made it to Vermont. Woodstock is absolutely picture perfect, I feel like I’m in a Hallmark movie. . . I also had my very first Dunkin Donuts coffee ever ☕️ We really did “run on Dunkin” as it’s all we ate in about 13 hours. By the time we got through customs we barely made it to our next flight! . . Missing the kids terribly. A 45 minute cry in the parking lot and now we’re good to enjoy our trip.

Since I’m waiting on my wine mule (aka super helpful coworker!) to deliver the goods from this weekend’s tastings, I’m going to skip the drinks while I make dinner tonight and instead unwind with Maggie Rogers and my new candle from @dandylinespg.👌 #whenselfcaresundayrollsrightintomonday

I couldn’t decide— . Cheerful + Fun: “Every day should start with coffee and end with ice cream."🍦😁 ————— Inspiring: “Don’t let your ice cream melt while you’re counting somebody else’s sprinkles”🎉 #whichoneareyou 😉👇🏼

“Teh Tarik Satu” and don’t forget to say “Bungkus!” When you’re on the go, that’s how you get your morning tea or coffee. In a bag. Say “ikat tepi” and the drink-maker will tie it on the side, put in a straw and you can enjoy it while walking. Sip slowly because it’s usually piping hot. . . . . . . . . . #littlestoriesofmylife #iamatraveler #theprettycities #thisismycommunity #mytinyatlas #momentsofmine #searchwandercollect #thehappynow #hello_worldpics #bestcitybreaks #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #caffeinecouture #coffeeshopcorners #coffeesesh #cafevibes #ilovetea #teatime #teh #afternoontea #kopi #shotzdelight #cunbruh #liveshotvisual #urbanandstreet #artsofvisuals #inspirationcultmag #streetdreamsmag #streetleaks #petalingjaya
