Our spring break just became 2 weeks thanks to Corona virus and this is my current mood about it. 🙃 Today we are boating to our favorite island which I’m feeling is probably the ideal spot to social distance from germs and crowds. 🤷🏼‍♀️🏝 What’s happening in your area?

It’s so easy to obsess over these tiny squares and forget that our families are so much more important than the admiration of strangers. Don’t give away your NOW, trying to impress people you don’t know. THE BEST LIFE is happening right under your nose. 💫 Double tap if you feel me!

Just over here reclining glamorously with my false lashes and laptop while my kids play peacefully next to me, just kidding I’m still in workout clothes and being forced off my desk chair within inches of my life (swipe). 😂 I compiled all your no-mom-guilt work-from-home tips and they are awesome. 👊🏻 I learned a few new ideas that I plan to implement soon to get more writing time in. Link is in my bio if you want to read! 💻 Double tap if you know the struggle!

Just me and my best girl about to pick up our boys from school. 💫 These are the days. 💫

It’s Valentine’s night, I’m sitting alone in

It’s Valentine’s night, I’m sitting alone in the cafeteria at the hospital I’ve been living in for the last 48 hours, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m grateful for my husband, who is at home with our 4 kids for 5 days so I can be here. I’m grateful for my mom’s hip surgery yesterday, and the fact that our relationship is in a place where I can be here for her. I’m grateful for my sister, my closest confidante, who I got to spend 3 hours of no-agenda hospital chat time with today. I’m grateful for the Marco Polo my husband sent me... all 4 of our babies, all fixed up and ready for school at 6:30am, saying “Happy Valentine’s Day Mommy.” Their voices were so sweet I nearly cried right there on my hospital cot. I’m grateful they are healthy children and I can leave them to go on trips like this without worry. I am grateful for the run I snuck out for today... the fact that my body CAN run, after debilitating back pain 2 years ago. And so as I sit here, all alone at my big white table, eating my spinach salad and refried beans (what can I say, it sounded good and sometimes you do weird things when you live at the hospital 😂🤷🏼‍♀️), it’s really not as sad as it seems. I may look like a lonely middle-aged mom with dark roots in a really tragic Valentine’s Day commercial, but I assure you, I am truly the richest, and most in love, I’ve ever been.

Just a mom of 4 at 6am with zero kids, a cold brew ☕️ + coconut milk, $32 Jessica Simpson book and a 5-hour flight ahead. 🙌🏻 I’m keeping it positive but the truth is I hate turbulence so I’m really praying for smooth skies! ✈️ Anyone else a baby like me?
