Just caught this little moment of my girls playing

Just caught this little moment of my girls playing under the blooming tree in the back and knew it needed to have a home on my feed. 🌸🌿🐝 If you would have told me that this is what my life would look like 15 years ago when my husband and I started dating I would never have believed you. So grateful life has its own plans because they are better than anything I could have dreamed up. ✨ #momentstoremember #gratefulmom

Enjoyed a taste of spring at #beeehivehomestead, then woke up to giant snowflakes falling from the sky. Midwestern springs can really give you whiplash! 😅 Savoring these little moments captured and looking forward to watching each season unfold on our land. There is so much to discover & explore. What a beautiful gift to be able to call it ours. 🌸

“Have regular hours for work and play, make each

“Have regular hours for work and play, make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.” - Words by Louisa May Alcott for Little Women

Mindfulness is the key to balance. Whether we are keeping the home, raising our children, or pursuing our passions we have to allow time for both getting our hands dirty & prioritizing rest. We have to be able to tune into what our body needs and the emotions we feel from day to day. We have to place more value on laughing, playfulness, and connection if we want to live out a more fulfilling life. Putting mindfulness into practice takes time. It takes a lot of patience, accountability, and grace with yourself. But the juice is worth the squeeze, both personally and in our relationships with our children + loved ones.

I have so much to say on the topic that I started writing something to share with you and it turned into a 50 page e-book that I will be making available on my website as a FREE DOWNLOAD in May. I hope that it serves you on your parenting journey & gives you practical tips to put mindfulness into action every single day. Keep your eyes on my stories for the release date. 🐝✨ #mindfulparenting #intentionalliving #iwroteanebook

“If I had my child to raise over again: I’d

“If I had my child to raise over again: I’d build self-esteem first and the house later. I’d finger paint more and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I’d take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes. I would care to know less and know to care more. I’d take more hikes and fly more kites. I’d stop playing serious and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I’d do more hugging and less tugging. I’d see the oak tree in the acorn more often. I would be firm less often and affirm much more. I’d model less about the love of power And more about the power of love.”
-Diana Loomans

A powerful reminder to slow down & appreciate this moment + encouragement to you if you haven’t always been the parent you want or hoped you’d be- every single day presents us with a hundred or more opportunities to grow, learn, and create healthy relationships with our children. You’re not too late. ❤️

I was pregnant 6 times in the past 12 years. I bec

I was pregnant 6 times in the past 12 years. I became a mother at 18 and have spent every moment since nurturing, nourishing, and loving the life we have brought into the world. I’ve birthed babies in the hospital both naturally & medicated, birthed babies into my own hands in the birth tub of the first free standing birth center in Missouri, I’ve birthed babies in my bathroom with tears in my eyes knowing I would never see them take their first breath, and I’ve birthed twins at 34 weeks & spent their first month of life living in the NICU by their side. Every pregnancy & birth their own unique journey. Each one a miracle in their own right. There were hormone shots, hospital stays, extreme heartbreak, struggles with MTHFR & hyperemesis gravidarum. So many hard moments that broke me open. The family I share in these squares & the person I am today is a result of every good thing you see here & the rawness + pain you sometimes don’t. Growing a family can be difficult. And even though we have 5 children in our arms today we know what we’ve lost along the way.
If you’re struggling right now on your journey to become a parent or grow your family, I see you. If you’re struggling through a difficult pregnancy, I see you. If you’ve walked through the pain of miscarriage, I see you. If you’re pregnant after one or multiple losses and swimming in anxiety, I see you.
You are not alone & I hope you feel that this is a safe space for you.
If you need to chat, my inbox is always open. I know what it’s like to need a listening ear. 🤍✨

things I look forward to the most moving to our homestead —
🌿 rocking on the front porch at sunset & reading my favorite book.
🐓watching the kids chase chickens & follow ducks around the pond.
🍑 picking fruit right off the tree.
🌱a big ole’ raised bed garden filled with heirloom veggies.
🤲🏻 getting to know the land & making the house our home.

Every day we are moving forward, closer to that reality and it makes me grin ear to ear. Some days it feels like it’s all a dream. It was the day after Christmas when we first laid eyes on our new home and it truly felt like the best gift we could have gotten. After two years of looking at so many properties that did not fit & making unreasonable Zillow wishlists we pulled up and I immediately knew we had found “it”. We spent that day with the Amish family who owns the property & they welcomed us with so much warmth. Three generations have lived in those walls and when we were headed out the door grandma told me how grateful she would be to have her farm go to a family like ours. She’ll never really know how much that meant to me. ❤️ #beeehivehomestead

tiny hands, tiny treasures. ✨🤲🏻
modeling beeswax is always a favorite activity in our home. the possibilities are endless, it’s easy to clean up, and it provides a wonderful tactile experience to strengthen our little one’s sense of touch. the fine motor skills are working, their little hands are getting stronger, and they are exploring new mediums to create with— so many wins.

have you experimented with modeling wax before with your children?
if not, I highly suggest it! I keep a container of stockmar modeling wax in our craft cabinet at all times. a great gift that can be enjoyed & reused over and over again. 🐝 #thankyoubees
