I am not a queen.
I am not a queen.

I'm not going to sugarcoat this: some days I feel like my children are eating me alive, and simultaneously like I'm not enough for them.

Spring, unmistakably.
Spring, unmistakably.

I know that change is hard, but that it’s needed. I know that life is bittersweet, and that you can’t appreciate the sweet without the bitter. And more than anything, I know that the bitter days of Winter allow me to soak up the sweet days of Spring.

Lasts Are Beautiful

In my head I know our family is full, but my heart isn't really on board.

Jonah had a sore throat all day and Ezra didn’t want to leave his side. So naturally they had smoothies and watched cartoons in mama and daddy’s bed. I don’t know what I would do if they didn’t get along so well...I hope they’re always best friends.
Ezra’s out of focus, and I don’t even care. I love this shot of my babes on the beach. Maybe it’s a good reminder that everything doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.
I don’t even know. You caption it.
...I am so over comparing myself to all the other mamas. As a family, we've experienced a lot of change over the last couple of years. Our family dynamic is unlike most people we know, and in fact, most people think we are off our rockers. If I constantly compare myself to these other women, it's doing a disservice to myself and to my family. What is good and normal for us is bizarre and totally wrong for some. In this season, I am confident that what God is trying to teach me is to be me. To be exactly who He created me to be, and to step into those roles with confidence and also covered in His grace. Comparison is the thief of all joy, and for far too long I've allowed it to steal mine. I've been trying to be queen bee and comparing myself to all the other queens and boss babes (who I so admire!), trying to live up to their standards, when what God really had for me was the beautiful life of a mermaid or a dolphin (or you know, something free. I’m not great at metaphors). No matter how much I try, I’ll never settle in to a groove pursuing the life of a badass-boss-babe-queen-whatever, because I’m meant to be something totally otherwise (though I do fully appreciate being treated like royalty). I’ve felt lost and like I don’t fit in for far too long, mostly because I was trying to please, impress, and blend into a facade that wasn’t intended for me.... ...I am going back to blogging.

You make the whole world brighter, just by being in it. Happy Father’s Day, to the best there is it ever was. 💙
I officially love Barbados. Such a beautiful island with the most beautiful and kind people. People that go out of their way to be kind without expecting anything in return, smile all day, and want you to love their island as much as they do. You succeeded, friends. What an amazing week we have had in the West Indies. I can’t wait to return.
We had no idea of the love or adventure God had in store for us when we stood under that big oak tree ten years ago. I never could have imagined all the roads God would bring us down, or all the joy my heart would know. You exceed every dream I’ve ever had, and fill my heart and our lives with more love than I ever thought possible. It hasn’t always been easy, and it hasn’t always been perfect, but I would choose you again and again and again. I did, and I do, and I always will. You are the one whom my soul loves, @jandrewrowe, and I can’t believe I get to be your wife and get to love you until the end of time. Thank you for putting up with me for a whole decade, loving me so well, and for your habit of upgrading my ring finger on the most amazing tropical beaches 😍. Happy Anniversary! . . . . #cheerstotenyears #ilovesandalsresorts #sandalsroyalbarbados #travelblogger #lifestyle #documentyourdays
Y’all. We’ve never done an all-Inclusive. We typically are more the adventure type. But this resort?! Amazing. So thankful to be here with my guy celebrating TEN YEARS. 😱😍 . . . . #ilovesandalsresorts #tenyearanniversary #barbados #documentyourdays #travelfamily #travelblog
