A little bit of sunshine on a rainy day (and a little bit of attitude )

First summer storm in this big ol’ house of ours. ⛈ Someone screen in this side porch, already, so I can sit out here come rain or shine. (And finish painting our walls while you’re at it. I’m over it.)

Just me and my garden gnome heading out to a ladies lunch

we got pummeled by waves as we boated our way across the aegean sea — remember that scene in castaway where tom hanks is on his little dingy + sees that giant wave? we personally experienced what that must have felt like out there ‍♀️ @tylergoesplaces puked his guts out right below oía — if anyone was using binoculars from their cave house at that exact moment they probably had a beautiful sight. we weren’t sure we were ever going to be able to land the drone back in our boat + our expensive camera equipment was a centimeter away from falling off the boat into the sea, but thankfully ty lunged at the exact moment with his catlike reflexes + CAUGHT IT — true story, we even have footage to prove it. i almost throw up every time i think about it to this day. no, of course we didn’t set up a camera on a tripod on a rocking boat in the middle of the ocean. no way, not these professionals but STILL, even with all of those things, this was one of the most fun days i can think of. seeing Santorini from a completely different perspective + trying something we’ve never done together. the pictures we took that day won’t show all of those little mishaps, but the memories + stories from that day are what will keep us laughing forever. well, now that we can actually laugh about them if we ever tell ANY of you that we’re thinking about selling our RV to sail the world on a catamaran just point us back to this day, plz + thnks

Strawberry picking with Wren last year went a little something like this...he sat perfectly still, loved the novelty of helping pick the fruit, didn’t try and eat anything, stayed relatively clean and let me take 101 cute pics of him. Cut to a year down the line strawberry picking with Wren (a week off turning 2) went a little something like this....got bored quite quickly and wanted to play on the bouncy castle instead, took a bite out of pretty much every strawberry, got himself, me AND my new shoes covered in strawberry juice and he wouldn’t pick the fruit unless I was carrying him.... Still, we had a great day and came home with a big ol’ haul Swipe to see a photo comparison, this is pretty much the only one I managed to get today! • • • #thesearethedays #cameramamas #thatsdarling #magicofchildhood #parenthoodmoments #honestmotherhood #humansofjoy #summerishere #embracingtheseasons #aseasonalshift #livebeautifully #savouringhappiness #motherhoodalive #themotherhoodcorner #simpleeveryday #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #documentyourdays #strawberrypicking #lookslikefilmkids

The most relaxing Sunday morning we’ve had in ages but soon enough both of our kids will need shoes before we leave the house

Still just trying to figure out where my baby and all his chubbiness went And he’s probably just wondering where his arm went. . My dress @coven_and_co Conor’s set @summerofeve

I’ve shared this before, but I never wanted kids. On one of Andrew + I’s first dates we talked about children. He said he wanted 12. I said 0. Yikes. I think we were both being pretty dramatic with our answers at the time. ♥︎ I always used to view kids as annoying little things that prevent you from living your best life. I believed you couldn’t be successful, happy or accomplish your dreams if you chose to have children. As if they sucked your purpose out of you the moment you had them. I was under the impression you either had to choose children + succumb to a mundane suburbia soccer mom life (not that there’s anything wrong with that - I just didn’t want that for myself) or live a life of travel + adventure, boldly chasing after your wildest dreams. I never believed both of those things could co-exist. My mindset was so narrow. ♥︎ I think back to the woman I was then who believed those lies. And I wish I could tell her what I know now. That children are the greatest blessing you could possibly imagine. That they light up your life in a way that’s unexplainable. That they help you comprehend even a little bit the undying love God has for us - His children. Over the last few years and especially now that Eloise is here... my mindset has completely done a 180. I don’t believe you have to choose between children or your wildest adventures + dreams. Your life can absolutely be both if you choose it. ♥︎ Because now... instead of dreaming about trips to Iceland or Thailand or Peru to see those incredible places for myself... I cannot wait to show our little bug the most magical corners of the world God created. Instead of hustling to grow my business just for myself... I get to show Eloise through my actions that God also created her to be a world changer + with Him her possibilities are endless. ♥︎ It’s only been a week and already motherhood has changed me. It’s not easy, but I absolutely cannot wait to raise her to live life boldly + fearlessly. Let the real adventure begin. ♥︎ Does anyone else struggle with this lie? Believing that children put a pause on all dreams? Because friend, it doesn’t have to be that way. I promise. #EloiseJoy
