when charlie woke up this morning, mike brought her into our room with a rose between her teeth 😂 in between simultaneously trying to eat it and give it to me, she excitedly kept saying “mommy flower! mommy flower!”💐⁣
⁣
and of course, my whole heart just exploded 💓⁣
⁣
being a mom is the best gift i could ever receive, and i am so grateful for it. thank you charlie and mike, for making me a mama - and thank you to all the moms, grandmas, cat + dog moms out there for all you do. sending you each a mommy flower and a ton of love 💕 happy mother’s day #love #mothersday #momlove #family photo by @devineous 🙌🏼

rolling into friday like ✌🏼⁣
⁣
since my feed has been all professional photo central lately (don’t get me wrong, i love it 💓) but nice to show what’s actually been going on in real life - sassy naked kids on scooters.⁣
⁣
and in case you were wondering... mint dental floss passes through a toddler’s digestive tract fully intact 🤦🏼‍♀️ #yogamom #momlife #friday #friyay #love

let’s chill, mama! as working toddler moms, @drivebybigby and i know the joy (and craziness) of having little kids 🤪 and we both wanted a break... so we put together our dream mom daycation!⁣

on creativity...⁣
⁣
to me, motherhood feels like i constantly have a hundred different browser windows open in the computer that is my mind. 💻 ⁣

when i'm with charlie, the primal "take care of my baby" tabs are up - feed, nuture, protect. and the toddler mom windows come with some very persistent pop-ups... tantrum! poop! SNACK!!!⁣
⁣
when i leave her and shift into work mode, i mentally reduce the charlie windows - but they're always still running in the background. plus all these other basic needs tabs like "what am i cooking for dinner," "do we need diapers," "so much laundry," etcetera...⁣
⁣
anyway. all of this takes up a lot of room in my head. i've been thinking a lot about creativity lately, and my focus right now is to clear some brain space (my cache so to speak 😉) so i can get back to my most creative self. for me, this means more movement + yoga, time to myself, and reading/listening to inspirational material. my mamas - anyone else feeling this? what helps you regain your creativity?⁣

the best way to get kids eating more veggies?⁣
⁣
...them seeing us do it 💚 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
most of our dinners aren’t as pretty as this so i had to snap today’s fresh salads inspired by our farmers market trip, topped with @beyondmeat burgers. to be fair, charlie ate all the avocado and a few bites of the burger - pushed around the tomato and didn’t touch the sprouts. i’ll keep offering 💫 #veggies #yogamom #eatathome #love #toddlermom

lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu 〰️ may all beings everywhere be happy and free... and it starts with wanting that for ourselves.⁣
⁣
thank you charlie for being my muse for this 🙏🏼💓 wishing you a joyful weekend! #happy #love #free

what a (re)treat this was... thank you to our costa rica yoga home, @bluespiritcostarica and our amazing group, who now feel like family 💓
⁣
nosara is in one of the world's five blue zones, which boast some of the highest longevity in the world. the fresh food, salt water and low stress lifestyle made us feel incredible and free and connected to source energy. charlie loved running around naked at the beach 🍑 which got me thinking about how little our family actually needs. some observations...
⁣
-even though we brought more, charlie, mike and i all only wore one pair of shoes the whole trip - and we were barefoot most of the time.
- blue spirit serves 3 amazing meals per day (with bananas available in between) and we didn't have a fridge in our room to store any extra food. from day one, it was a big eye-opener to see how much charlie and i snack 😳 it motivated me towards less snacking and more clear mealtimes for both of us.⁣
- charlie is so flexible. her naps got screwed up, we didn't have milk in our room, our travel days were crazy... and it was fine. ⁣
⁣
i love travel because of the perspective it offers, and this trip was all about doing more with less. thank you costa rica 💚 see you soon. ⁣
