And now look at them. FIVE 😍

11 months ✨️

The sweetest poppet there ever was ♥️

So busy, crawling and investigating everything. Mostly with her mouth 😵‍💫 She's busier than the twins were combined 🥴😭🤣

She climbs EVERYTHING

She loves her food, a lot 🤣

Sleeps like an absolute dream

Super consistent and predictable

She's a delight to all of us including her sisters who love playing games and making her copy them.

She's starting to say words and make recognizable sounds.

Her singing in coming along so nicely. 'All done' She's nailed down and it's very enthusiastic, if she signs 'all done' and I walk away to fetch a face cloth to clean her hands, it's not a very happy experience 🤣🤩

Basically we're very obsessed with our baby Mabey and I'm grateful every day for the experience of being her mother ♥️

We love you baby girl!

One month and you're 1 year old and I can't really fathom never mind stomach the idea 🥴😑

In the same breathe I'm so privileged to watch her grow into the lovely little girl she is ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Journal entry done ♥️🤣👌

This deserves a space on the grid.

Convinced I have one the the happiest babies on the planet.

Still waiting for the catch. She's too good to be true.

Mabey baby.
We love you
♥️😍♥️😍♥️

If childhood is the most magical time of a person's life.

Then I can chose to let motherhood be a reliving of that magic.

If I'm able to SLOW down.

Get down.

Let go of expectations, judgment, perfectionism, time lines.

Then I get to relive that magic.

See the world through their eyes again.

Able to remember what I've forgotten. Able to enjoy what's been stollen from me as I grew up and innocence was slowly stripped away.

Forever grateful to have this opportunity with these precious little souls.

Hard. But magic. ✨️

It's no wonder Jesus had a special place on his lap for them ♥️

9 months with our smiliest little squish.

We couldn't love this baby more if we tried. She just brings sunshine with her.

We're so grateful ♥️

We owe it to them.

They deserve better and safer products.

They deserve the knowledge of other options that exist besides the most commonly available solution, which are more often than not the more harmful solutions.

They deserve a fighting chance at developing healthy and balanced bodies and hormones.

The deserve to know that their life and bodies are worth fighting for.

That their health can actually be affected and altered for the good or bad depending on their lifestyle choices.

They deserve parents who care and think about their own health too.

Learning and changing lifestyle for the better is never going to be a waste.

It doesn't have to be overwhelming. It doesn't have to be over night.

But we do owe it to ourselves and our youngens to be moving in a positive direction 🙌

Who's with me?

What is one small change you can make in your lifestyle?

7 beautiful months with this delight of a baby.

Swipe to see her face as shocked as mine as we wonder how on earth did 7 months fly by so fast 😱😭

This little poppet remains the easiest and happiest baby I've ever known. Her sleep has gone a little down hill, thanks to growth leaps and a week of ear infection. But still, I can hardly complain.

She's starting to show signs of wanting to get ready to crawl, has no teeth, LOVES banana and avo and being her sisters moving toy and living doll 😍

She lights up and wiggles around every time daddy walks in the room. When I was pregnant with her she would always move and wiggle every time she heard his voice nearby too 🥺

I never want to forget these days. Living the dream I've had since I can remember. They can be challenging and tiring. But they're sweet, simple and full of a lot of young children's bliss 😇💗

Thankful for the provision to be able to be with them full time. Thankful for the 'stable mind' I have to be able to fully enjoy it all. The blessing is not wasted on me 😇

Happy decent months my perfect girl. Keep growing and shining 💗

Being their mom, my greatest achievement ♥️

Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a mom.

And my dream came true, in four ways I never would have been brave enough to ask for.

As I tell them every single day. There is no where else in the world, there is no other job or occupation that I would rather be doing than being right here, being their mom.

Mom's are rad 👏 We grow, birth, nurture, support and give EVERYTHING and a little more. All for these little humans we love. And it's all worth it

Happy mothers day to all you amazing mama's in this beautiful community.

And for those who feel a sting of this day, I am sending love and support to you. I hope you found joy and love in the day somehow.

Cheers to moms! I think we're really great 👏♥️

My whole heart. My reason why.

As I lay here with a sick little Bubba on my chest, I'm overwhelmed with such a sense of gratitude.

Gratitude for the bodies we were given that heal themselves given the right conditions.

For the earth and all its wonderful healing goodness it gives us and the providers that know how to harness that goodness in a form we can take it.

For the provision of my husband's work so I can stay home all day every day, living alongside and raising my girls in the way I see fit. Especially in times of illness. I never take this for granted.

For the place I hold in my children's lives. Their comfort and sense of safety. What a privilege to be the one that makes them feel safe 😍

You can see it as pressure or you could see it as your wonderful role in the story of their lives.

I will do everything I can to be trustworthy. So many decisions and moments are in my hands. Things that affect them for many years to come. And I won't stop, making the environment safer, the atmosphere calmer and more nurturing and working on being the best possible mom for my girls.

Motherhood is a sacred gift. And I'm in it to my eyeballs and more grateful and fulfilled than I've ever been 🙏♥️

What is your favorite part of motherhood?

I don't know who needs to hear these truths but here I go..

1. You're the best mama the whole wide world for your baby/babies 🤱

2. You are doing the best with what you have and what you know. That is more than enough 🤗

3. It probably feels hard because it is hard 🤯♥️

4. You have a unique and invaluable gift called mama gut and you should trust it.

5. As you grow you'll learn, if you start to regret passed choices, that shows you've grown.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I believe in you mama. If you need me to hold that space and the belief for you I will just until you can hold it for yourself.

Mamas are special, fierce, individual, strong, wise and connected to their children in a way no one ever will be.

Trust yourself mama. Lean into your wisdom and be brave with with your choices. You babies deserve that.

Which truth are you holding onto today? Number 3 is ringing in my ears

4 months with Mabel ♥️

This baby is an absolute delight and breeze.

So consistent and predictable, full of smiles and chatter.

She sleeps like a dream, despite our travels I was so concerned about.

Her hands are working more accurately and everything goes straight in the mouth.

Grabbing has commenced. Good bye to drinking hot drinks with her facing outward 😏

She started the month trying so hard to roll but seems to have parked that skill for learning later.

I'm in no rush baby girl.

Keep being baby you. I love it ♥️

Isn't it crazy how our beliefs, negative or positive impact our behaviors?

This is something I definitely struggle with.

'I am not an active person' and so I go on year after year not picking up a sport or exercise routine without seeing that as an unhealthy habit just seeing it as who I am.

'I am just a mom' seeing that as a less than job to other work. And going day to day not bettering myself or finding challenges to embark on building a life and striving for goals outside of motherhood.

'I'm not creative' so I go on and on never finding a hobby, skill, or creative outlet for myself. Never facing a challenge that leaves me a more skilled person.

Every day I find evidence that supports the theories I have formed about myself and in the end of the day I end up never moving forward.

Totally paralyzed with the fear of what if it doesn't work? What if I fail? What if I look dumb?

But my bigger fear is, what if my children grow up believing the same lies? I would hate for them to be limited by low beliefs.

So the best way to help them not get stuck like that, would be to move passed my own fears, let them watch me change the beliefs I have of myself.

Sure they'll always have low belief, we are human and it's not 100% my job to make them into who they'll become. But I have such a role to play in modeling moving forward despite feelings, fears and what others think and say.

And that scares me. But at the end of the day. Only I am able to change the beliefs I have of myself. Everyday I can chose to battle my mind to think positively or allow the negative to take over.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
