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

Went on a Mother’s Day hike to Elephant Rock and it was invigorating. The elephant rock hike has always been one of my favorite hikes to go on. It’s where I gained my love for the outdoors and have hiked it many times. 2 years ago I hiked part of this hike while I was exactly 9 months pregnant to try to induce labor. It was fun to go back carryinghim on my back instead of in my tummy. Also happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing women out there.

How was this 2 years ago? Theo turns 2 next week and my heart is about to explode. It feels like just yesterday I was pregnant with him. I absolutely love this kid and am so happy to have him in my life. I love being his mama. Also looking at these makes me miss my hair long.

Mental Health Update: I met with the most amazing

Mental Health Update:
I met with the most amazing doctor today and wow it was hands down the best doctors appointment I have ever been to. She sat down and talked to me for 2 hours about my life and health. Ran a bunch of tests (waiting on results) and listened to everything I had to say without making me feel crazy. She set up a plan to help get myself back to where I need to be mentally. Her focus is to treat the person rather than the symptoms. I feel so hopeful for the future and honestly believe that this is just what I need to get over this speed bump and get on top of my mental health. On top of all of that she also recommended I try EMDR therapy to help me deal with some of the hardships that I have been through in my life. For the next 4 weeks I will be going on a special diet to help. It’s mainly just eating healthy and avoiding yeast and sugars. Please send me all the good vibes because I have the biggest sweet tooth and am a carbaholic. I seriously feel so hopeful and happy. Just a reminder that light always comes after those dark times. Light is always ahead! You’ve got this!

I’m proud of myself. Yesterday I pulled out a big 20 year old bush including the roots (which were pretty much down to the depths of hell) all by myself. And an hour or so after that I did a 30 minute workout. I don’t know who the heck I am anymore and where all that energy/motivation came from but I love it. Outfit is from @fabletics #myfabletics
