Things I would tell my 21 year old pregnant self 🌻 Your kid will eat a fridge full of food one day and two peanut butter sandwich’s the next and they will a-ok 🌻 Stop worrying about leaps and connections they haven’t made and stop comparing yourself or your child to others. Babies develop at their own pace and by their own beautiful rhythm 🌻 Literally no ones sleeps when their baby sleeps but thanks for the advice ‘Cheryl’ (heavy on the air quotes) 🌻 You might lose it and over react and yell at your child one day. and when you do, take a min. Breathe. And then do better 🌻 Not if, but when someone tries to make you feel that being a mother makes you soft And that makes you small or weak you remember just how fucking strong and fierce this has made you 🌻 Your job isn’t to be popular, or liked by other parents. If someone didn’t jive with you don’t force it, you will find people who are on your level 🌻 You won’t recognize yourself or connect with your life pre-babe, but this is still your life and you are still you and this new chapter will be beautiful. Stop pushing back 🌻 You will break wide open, over and over and over and over again. And then again. And you will be ok 🌻 #motherhoodrising
Hi hello here’s a cute corner of my home that I like a lot 💛the door is rarely closed cause who actually gets privacy in any kind of home when you have kids? Literally no door is ever closed bathroom included 75% of the time cause my kids can open doors Jurassic Park raptor style like I see tiny baby claws reaching under the door then the handle ever so slowly rotating and I’m closing my eyes sitting still like they can’t see me if I can’t see them then I remember they’re not TRexs they’re smart ass raptors then BAM door busts open. children jump on me. I’m dead. bye. Ps anyone else’s mind melting in the heat or just cause you have spawn today? Ha yeah totally me neither
Drinking the coffee and doing the things today ✨ rusty works 7 days a week so we don’t really have ‘weekends’ anymore 😅 only a sporadic day off here and there to attend a wedding, go to the fair, run errands. I can’t remember the last time he got consecutive days off and we actually didn’t do anything. Not saying this for sympathy cause we are choosing this life. we’re doing the grind and trying to crush some debt this year so hell yes I’m tired and may forget to put on a shirt before heading out of the trailer(you’re welcome neighbors) or lay down to feed a baby and end up power napping and getting slapped awake by a diaper getting flung in my face by a super naked 1 year old (thanks Oakie) but we’re hangin tough so thanks for reading this run on paragraph I’m gonna go lose my mind now 😅😂 #trailerlife
So we bought a 1985 fj60 #landcruiser project and she doesn’t run great and needs a bunch of love and work but im all ’BirdBox’ Sandra Bullock with a blindfold on and all I see is truck camping and mountains and stars and wildflowers and open roads 🌱 so I made this lil edit in honor of the adventures to come 🌱also, know those pictures you come across that make you go ‘yep. We’re taking this exact photo every year’ this is one of those.. I can imagine one day the boys squeezing into the back of the cruiser because they’re too big and I’m smiling just thinking about it ✨#getoutside #trailerlife #wagonlife #landcruiser60 #tezzapresets
Hi cute trailer I miss you, kinda! Also missing the days when I would wear wool socks and leggings and still be chilly, I am a cold weather person. I like my snow and rain and shade and I possibly let out audible hisses when My skin comes into contact with the sun in the morning 🤷‍♀️ it’s not that I loathe summer entirely but I break a sweat when it’s 50 degrees so these 90+ degree days are literally melting me wicked witch of the west style 🤷‍♀️ #trailerlife
#trailerlife is cool and all, but I am housesitting this month and more than one ply toilet paper, water pressure, and The crazy amounts of dried flowers and herbs and a huge kitchen to craft and dye my fabric in is literally everything I need right now in life. it’s been a trip kid wranglin and taking care of the animals and gardens but so fun to mix it up and do something different for a bit ✨side note CAN YOU BELIEVE this guy is almost 8 months? It feels like last week we were in the NICU and I blinked and here we are thriving and jivin’ and lovin life in my hometown ✨
