I don’t really care what else happens this weekend, trainer @anna_quenelle said my arms looked thrashed today 😅💪🏼. Have I mentioned how much I love my gym? Never knew how to channel my inner strength to the out and feel better and simply BE better. #strongwomen #fitover40 #burnbootcamp

100 days of school project. Take 100 of anything and make something out of it. Dad might of helped a teeny tiny bit 😉 #100day #100daysofschool #kindergarten

10 year challenge 👏🏼

I’m not for the general public. I’ve been sharing my family publicly since I’ve had one. I’m talking built a website in 2002 and shared my heart in parenting. It all started with wanting to share Lily updates without the exhausting individual phone calls. Because that time was really freaking hard and what went from updates turned into pouring my heart all over my keyboard and thru that process I started to build a very special audience and community of what I wouldn’t necessarily say like minded in the traditional sense but more like …like hearted.

Hey there! 👋🏼 just your friendly chaotic friend getting all introspective, as I often do but most especially at New Years because while the world ages another year, so did I and I jump in all the things that went right. All the things that went wrong and ways I want to do better and be better as the new year unfolds. Last year I made a goal (I’m NOT a goal kind of gal) and hit it. It took years to muster that kind of commitment and dedication to my physical health but I did it. Yet I also wonder why is my chaos in high gear everywhere else when I can be so dedicated in one area. I have been learning in therapy that my constant wheels spinning and getting nowhere, my living in survival mode is a trauma response and I am looking deeper into why I need to be this wildly chaotic person who never takes a breath. Who never takes a seat on the couch with her family. Its an on going battle that I only took my entire adult life to finally look at. Which means my friends I have some new tools and working on adding more to my tool box to start living with a new comfort. Your girl here says she is calm amongst chaos and I am. It’s my life’s tagline but what I am finding is I am comfortable in the chaos. I don’t need to be. So here I am saying if I can set and meet a goal in one area, I damn sure can meet them in others. It’s time to calm the noise. It’s time to root my feet. It’s time to not play the martyr in my own story. It’s time. So while I still want to focus on doing the things I am good at, I also need to learn how to do some things I’m not so good at. Like goals and organization. However I’m still not shredding anyones cheese. 🙃 #newyear #2022 #introspection

One more Disney post because this was the best shot and I paid for it 😆
