  • I’ve been slinging around my babies now for almost five years and it never, ever gets old. How do moms survive without babywearing?! I love keeping my babies close. 💕
  • For the second (third?) year in a row, we’ve hosted a very un-st. patties day dinner party on st. patties day. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🍀 On the menu tonight- zucchini and beef grilled meatballs with tahini sauce, veggie + tofu kabobs, pesto pasta, spring salad, baguettes, coconut milk ice cream and this almond apricot cake (recipe from @nigellalawson - both gluten free and dairy free!). Here’s to springtime, great friends, delicious food and happy st. patties day! 😂
  • Sometimes I literally have to pinch myself. 😍 I cannot even believe God gave me the privilege of raising this little tribe of men. Gosh, I love them so much. Being an all boy mom isn’t really what I expected - it’s honestly so much better (although mama could really use her own bathroom one of these days 😂). 🌲☀️💕
  • I think Brooks and I are equally pumped that spring is finally here. 💐🌲☀️
  • Sometimes, as a mom of three little kids, I feel like I read to them all day long —- and it’s GREAT! I hope the boys become voracious readers like myself. Grayson’s absolute favorite thing is for me to sit and read to him...and Luke is getting there. ;) Our current favorites include the children’s story time bible, the read aloud treasury (filled with wonderful fables!), the frog and toad stories, the little house on the prairie books and anything by Jan Brett. 😍 My kids also listen to “books on tape” daily (I download these via Audible). Grayson especially loves Beatrix Potter stories, Where the Wild Things Are, Doctor Desoto and anything Frog and Toad. I can’t wait till the kids are bigger and we have family read aloud nights! 📚 📚 Are you constantly reading to your kids, too? What are your favorites?
  • If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, it’s been potty training land. ✌🏻Anyway, got it together enough tonight to make a delicious dinner (and loving this late afternoon light!). I made @sk_cookingclub warm squash salad with avocado pepita sauce —- and I oven roasted a ButcherBox tri-tip to go on top. 🥳 Happy Monday, friends!
  • We made @turshen’s “healthy, happy wife cake” for dinner with friends tonight! This cake is totally gluten and (I made it) dairy free! I topped it with a layer of our backyard plum jam and a quick ganache made with dark chocolate and cashew milk. Recipe is out of the #nowandagaincookbook! 🥰
  • No matter the weather, these boys live their best life outside. 🌲🐾🐌
  • Gosh, yesterday was a hard day. I had to ask for help...twice! 🙃 I am slowly learning (re-learning?) that raising kids truly does take a village and three kids under five is nothing short of humbling. My sweet husband got home at midnight last night from a business trip. He has literally been on airplanes for 14 of the past 24 hours and gave up his coveted aisle seat (for a cross country flight) for a mom traveling solo with a toddler last night. 😭 He knew I had such a hard day yesterday so today, in his exhausted jet lagged state, he got up early and offered to take both boys to school so I could have the morning to relax. What a joy it was to put the baby down for a nap and then crawl back in bed, myself, this morning with a cup of tea and my Bible. 🥰 It’s a new day and a new month, friends! Let’s make the most of today.
  • I’ve been asking @ellieholcomb + @drewholcombmusic to come play in the Bay Area ever since I first met Ellie in 2013 when we traveled together to Ethiopia with @livefashionable. They finally did! And it was amazing! This mama stayed out till midnight and while I know I’ll pay for that a little bit today, it was well worth the tired eyes. What a fantastic show - it you don’t already follow Ellie and her hubby, you should be. Thanks for coming our way! (now off to make the strongest coffee ever) 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
  • I never really wrote about just how instrumental this book was to my postpartum experience this third time around. 💕 I highly recommend it! I really spent a lot of time in my late third trimester prepping my freezer and pantry with all of the broths, stews and teas from the book. It was SO worth it. I had a homebirth and my midwife heated me up some of the soups I had made for my first meal after pushing Brooks out and it was incredible (a huge difference from my first meal of cold carrot sticks & hummus from the nurses’ fridge at the hospital after Luke’s birth). The teas were all fantastic and I experienced minimal uterine pains and cramping. My hormone levels seemed more stable and I just felt, essentially, more NOURISHED. I also had placenta pills prepared the traditional Chinese medicine way, which I think also really helped. My favorite recipe out of the book was the Hearty Sausage Stew! I really loved following the guidelines for optimal rest and nourishment, especially during those first two weeks. Even though I had a homebirth, I don’t think you need to if you want to follow this plan. You could easily prepare the soup, freeze it, and bring it to the hospital with you. 🌱 I still crave the red date tea I drank by what seemed like the gallon those first few weeks. It was so calming to have a warm mug of it constantly by my bedside. #postpartum @motherbees
