Did you grow up with a family that emphasized the importance of staying active? Did you ever see your parents exercise? . . I know many parents like to try and work out while baby/kids are sleeping. But I encourage you to do your workouts in plain sight where your kids can see you. Show them the importance of staying active! (And when I say active I mean going on walks, stretching, etc. nothing major or regimented). I found that we get outside a ton these days. I don’t work out regularly but I have started running a bit (thanks to my friend who sent me her marathon training schedule lol) and I honestly really love it! Right now, 3 days a week I do 30 minute walks and 2 days a week I go for a 20 minute run! It’s nothing that I’m super obsessive about. I try to just work it into our days.. but I always explain to Gracie when I exercise why I’m doing it and what it means. She has done yoga with me before too. There’s a really cute book called “yoga bug” and it has a little flow for kids. . . Anyway, all this to say, I didn’t grow up around a family that valued staying active, but I’m changing that for my girls!

No shame in my game! I’m posting more of this gorgeous family who modeled for the @broodandtribe workshop this past weekend But let’s be real, any family can have photos like this. All it takes is the right family photography to bring out that fun interaction. I would love to do that for you and your fam! Let’s get something on the books because this summer is filling up fast! . . . . . . #portlandfamilyphotography #portlandlifestylephotography #broodandtribe #parenthood #clickinmoms #candidchildhood #letthembelittle #portland #lincolncityfamilyphotographer #oregoncoast #pdxmoms #lifestylephotography #lifestyleforlife #makeportraits #letthekids #livethelittlethings #momlifeisthebestlife #familygoals #pnwphotographer #inlovewithlovely #portlandmoms #goseedo #letthembekids #pnw #belovedfamilies #life_styled #cannonbeach #explorethepnw

A shot from one of our adventures this past weekend! this beautiful carrier is new to me and I’m pretty smitten. Which of your carriers did you use? We also wrapped and wore my Tula a lot too. I typically use 2-3 carriers in a day. #babywearing is a lifesaver since I have two kids now ❤️ you all know how much I love sharing my babywearing passion; will you tag a new or expecting mama you think would benefit from learning more about babywearing? ✨ Have an amazing Tuesday!

Soaking up these last few months of baby. Those chubby little fingers and baby lips. ❤️ She’s already acts and feels so much older than Gracie did at this age, it’s sad and exciting at the same time. I keep getting asked though, both in person and online, when our next one will be...and I just have to ask: does that happen to you? It’s like people expect me to just keep having kids we are done with our two girls and pretty happy + satisfied with our decision. How did you know you were done (or maybe you know you aren’t done) having children? Wrap: @solarawovens Roots “Story of a Traveller”

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! I spent the weekend without instagram! It’s been probably five years since I did something like that, and I’ve decided to make it a regular thing. I found myself talking with my hubby more, looking out the car windows during a drive more, noticing little things like the silhouettes of the trees more. I read a book and a half, and caught up on Downton Abbey! Yes the world without social media is a nice one! But that doesn’t mean I didn’t miss you guys. I found myself thinking about my friends on here whom I have never met but feel like they’re family to me. I found myself wondering what to make for dinner when meal planning because usually I find inspiration from Instagram or Facebook. So it wasn’t all happiness being away but it was healthy. I think that’s the key word. It did feel good to just have my time off of a screen! Let’s try it! I challenge you. Next week: Screen free weekend!

You get back what you put out into the universe . Imagine the amazing energy that will surround you if your positive energy rubbed off on others and everyone intentionally makes the decision to show up with a positive attitude at work, during your workouts, or in life in general . Day 1 of #liiftformation with @shaunt and @joelfreemanfitness is in the bag for me and although I struggle with lifting weights, I’m choosing to show up with a positive attitude and put in WERRRRK y’all! Because, the first step to a great transformation, is getting uncomfortable and pushing through to get to the other side Happy Monday y’all! #positivitywins #motivationmondays

Just trying to pretend I haven’t been awake since 5:15 AM. These babes are EARLY risers. What time do your kids get up? #sendcoffee #thankgodforcoava Wrap: @solarawovens “moon child”

Happy 17th Birthday Chloe!!! We still can’t believe we have a 17 year old but we could not be more proud of the young woman you are working hard on becoming. Don’t ever loose your work ethic and huge heart. Love you !
