Little man loooooves sitting in the grass and I am so grateful—it means that I can put him down for a few seconds while I tend to his sister or the garden, or take a moment to recharge myself (before he shoves something in his mouth, of course!).

These are the tiny but mighty wins of motherhood and raising babies and businesses at the same time. Follow for more daily wins & struggles 🤍

When little man is happy, which is definitely not all the time, he brightens the room and brings a smile to everyone’s face. Especially mine; beaming with pride and joy 🥹

Little miss was soooo excited when we told her she got to have her own vegetable garden this year!

Mama was excited to have her learn about responsibilities, sustainable eating, and that hard work pays off—all in a fun and delicious way from start to finish 🍽

We are patiently waiting for harvest time as our enclosure overflows 🍅🥦🌶🥒🥕

(especially since our fruit trees seem to have taken the year off!)

At least I’m consistent—putting up their newborn canvases 7 months later 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was so excited to find a beautiful quaint restaurant that we could walk to for celebrating our anniversary. Then I ate the food and fell absolutely in looooove! I even had seconds. No joke.

And then they closed forever. Heartbroken. 🥺

You were well-loved @loombistro 🤍 and I hope your replacement is even half as delicious!

Mama just wanted to pee and he bolted for the studio in 3 seconds flat—where unbeknownst to me… there was a wet clump on paint on the can from the day before 🤦🏼‍♀️

At least the trail of baby handprints was cute 👣

When your kid loves puddles, you get her the best puddle suit for year-round jumping and splashing ☔️

Is it even summer if you don’t play in the water

Is it even summer if you don’t play in the water? I’m so glad my kids inherited my love for the water rather than my allergy 💦

Tiring out the kiddos means I actually get to enjoy naptime, ether by napping as well or getting some work done. 👌🏻

It’s finally happening!! We took her pull-ups away and gave her pretty replacements just like mama and that was what she needed. We are so proud of our little miss 💩

When was your little one fully potty trained?

We are officially past the halfway mark for the ye

We are officially past the halfway mark for the year and I am so proud of our progress towards our goal of @1000hoursoutside challenge even though it’s quite obvious we will not be making it to that many in 2022 (we hit 150 at the end of June).

I was tired of feeling like I failed my goal of daily outdoor time, so I’ve allowed myself the grace of 5 days per month of hermitting due to weather or sheer exhaustion, and to try to do an outdoor meal or snack on the tired AF days because the toddler can be contained on the patio while I prep and clean indoors with the baby.

Anyone else trying to add outdoor time to their daily schedule? If you’re local, I’d love to plan a few hike dates for the fall—so easy to do distanced ✌🏻

Toddlers are messy. BUT toddlers also love bubbles

Toddlers are messy. BUT toddlers also love bubbles, so the lesson I’ve learnt is to let them play dirty and have fun making messes, and then let them play by cleaning it up. 🧼

Especially when it gets them outside in the fresh air and let’s me rest my feet. Bonus if it’s a rainy day and you don’t need to keep replenishing the water they inevitably spill 💦👌🏻
