When we leave for our mini vacation this weekend, the weather says we are supposed to get rain for the next NINE days So mama’s I need your help! What are your favorite creative indoor activities while we visit Grandma’s house?!
P.s. You know you’re a boy mom when you start finding trucks + cars in your glass vases, cupboards, pots, couch cushions and anywhere else that has a good hiding spot!
We are going to Graceland, TN tomorrow!!! And by “we” I mean just Robert and I! The girls are going on their own vacation, today I’m taking them to Nana and Papa’s house for 4 fun days on their little farm in San Diego! Annnnnnnd how flipping appropriate is it that I’m taking my Peanut Butter and Banana @bobsredmill bar with me to the airport! After all, Elvis Presley’s favorite food was a Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich!! Love that @bobsredmill bars are light enough for a snack but nutritious enough for a meal replacement on busy mornings like this! #WhereYourBarTakesYou #BobsRedMill #RedMillandBlue #Ad •

Flashbacks in this photo. Currently 20weeks pregnant. It looks HELLA DIFFERENT this time around...
•
Pregnant at 17 the first time & looking ahead to our future. I chose Nursing School {all you all know}. Why? Because I needed stability, assurance, a steady pay cheque & a respectable job to offset the rest.
•
I graduated & I was GONE, in more ways than one. I didn’t get to be MOM. I got to be “Hi, I’m your Registered Nurse Chantel, & i’ll be looking after you this shift”- day in & day out. All that hustle for all the HEARTACHE that came with NOT being aligned. As much as I loved helping my patients, I needed BALANCE. I needed something more.
•
Today, I’m SO FU*KING GRATEFUL I’m not faced with those same challenges {single mama, low income, nursing student}. I’ve busted my ass for YEARS now to keep climbing, to give my daughter the life she deserved ALL along. & now, I have the comfort & security {& rockin’ husband @brood_j } I always deserved. I work from home, choose my hours, LIVE my fu*king life & get to be MOM.
•
You know HOW I did it? Dedication, grit, perserverance, faith, & Instagram. Ya, I built my biz from the ground up RIGHT HERE. In one year I SURPASSED my income as a Nurse, & spent less time WORKING. & guess what? YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
•
Whatever YOUR VISION looks like, I promise- it’s so fu*king possible.

The exact steps, formulas, strategies & secrets I used to build my empire. Drop me a below if you want the deets!
