Swimming has always been one of my favorite things

Swimming has always been one of my favorite things to do in the summer. Ever since I had a baby I have really struggled with having a desire to wear a swimsuit. This year I decided to forget about my insecurities and put on the swimming suit and make memories. I’m glad I did because Theo and I had a wonderful time swimming in his little kiddie pool. Now if I can talk Casey into getting a stock tank pool we will be complete. Not pictured is the hyperactive dog who made the water muddy.

Went on a little family hike today and it was a lot of fun. We saw cows, deer, butterflies, birds and horses. Jack loved being outside. Swipe to see the cutest little bee 🐝 Outfit from @fabletics #fableticspartner #moveinfabletics

My husbands brain tumor story. It’s crazy to think that this was 5 years ago. I remember being so afraid and terrified that I would lose him. I spent a lot of nights crying. I am very thankful that he is doing great. I sure do love my ginger.

Gardening has become such a wonderful experience for me. It has really helped out my anxiety. I feel like it is so healing to spend time in nature and become one with earth. I planted this little garden a few years back and it has been so fun to watch it grow. This temple dress is from @shopmodwhite and if you use code ABIGAIL15 you will get 15% off orders $50 or more.

Happy 4th of July. While the USA may not be perfect and our history has flaws. I know that we are strong enough to be better and strong enough to make the needed changes to be the best we can be.

Motherhood is a beautiful thing and I have absolut

Motherhood is a beautiful thing and I have absolutely loved sharing my journey through it on Instagram. I have recently become aware that some of the things I post exploit my sons life. It makes me sick to think that one day he might be embarrassed by something that I posted about him online. While my intentions were all tender it might not come off that way to him as he gets older. My new plan is to stop sharing personal things about my son on the internet. I will still post about motherhood and continue to share my journey, but I won’t do it in a way that exploits my son. It has come to my attention lately that children don’t have any rights on the internet. And there are no laws that protect these kids on what is being posted about them. There are also no laws on if they get money from posts/videos they’re featured in. From now on if my son is used in an ad a portion of it will go into his savings fund for when he gets older. I encourage all the other influencers on all platforms to take a look at the things you post about your kids.

Ran away to the mountains this weekend 🏔 . Camping with a toddler isn’t an easy thing to do but totally worth all the work. He loves being outside and had so much fun camping. There is something so healing about being outside and sleeping in a tent.

3 ways to be more body positive

1. Stand in front of the mirror and pose in a way that makes you confident. Tell yourself at least 3 things that you like about your body.
2. Smile 😊
3. Don’t compare yourself to others. You are beautiful in your own way. #Everybodyisbeautiful

Does anyone else sit in the weirdest position to read books? I literally have to contort my body into the weirdest way to read. Also rocking some major fad vibes while rocking some socks with sandals. Outfit inspo from my wonderful dad Jim who has been rocking socks and sandals for a very long time.

Right before Covid hit the US I had purchased a bunch of birthday decorations for Theo’s birthday. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to throw him a big birthday on his actual birthday (in May). I waited until it was safe to throw one. Since Utah is in the yellow zone I was able to finally have it. I still kept it small just to be safe. It was so much fun going all out. I sure love this kid and am so lucky that he is mine. I can’t believe that I have a two year old.

I have spent the past week studying and trying my best to understand what systematic oppression and white privileged truly mean. I’ve also been learning what I can do as a white ally to aid in ending racism. I still have a lot to learn but a fire inside has been lit and I will do what I can to help. I encourage you all to spend time understanding the changes that need to happen. Let’s stand together to end racism. Spend time educating your loved ones about racism. @booksfordiversity shares wonderful books that include anti racism, black voices, and inclusivity. I have recently purchased a few and am excited to read them to my son.

It’s been a minute since I have given a mental health update. I started with a new therapist (my last one moved to a clinic that doesn’t accept my insurance), I’ve been eating healthy and working out daily. Things are definitely improving in regards to my mental health but still aren’t where I want them to be. I have found that outdoors have a healing element. I’ve been spending as much time outside as possible and it has definitely been helping. For those of you who also deal with mental health issues remember that you aren’t broken. You are strong and capable.

Nothing beats being outdoors. Spring is always such a renewing time of year for me. Also sandal season is my all time favorite. Shoes are from @justfabonline #justfabpartner

A few days ago I took Theo to the doctors for his 2 year checkup and it was so surreal walking into the hospital and seeing all those frontline workers spending so much time to help all of those in need while trying to protect their own families. I talked to a nurse in the elevator and she was just so worn out. I can’t even imagine the amount of hard work all the frontline workers are going through. I have so much respect and gratitude for them. @bearpawshoes is donating 1,000 pair of slippers to front line workers to bring them some comfort for when they have time to rest. Head over to Bearpaw.com/Bearpawcares to nominate a frontline worker.

Went on a family adventure today to a cute little mining town. Hiked up a trail full of wildflowers. My goal this spring/summer is to spend as much time outside as possible.

I am 1 week into changing my diet to help my anxiety and it has been great so far. It’s a lot different changing my diet when the main focus is on helping my mental health rather than trying to lose weight. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the fix and that I can get into a better place mentally. Outfit is from @fabletics #moveinfabletics
