It’s a complicated relationship, but they mostly It’s a complicated relationship, but they mostly love each other when they aren’t driving one another crazy 😂
All dressed up and to the backyard work house I go All dressed up and to the backyard work house I go 🤣 . . Headed into day 1 of @beautycounter Managing Director meetings today. While we usually escape to sunny California for these meetings, this year we are meeting virtually. Still getting dressed and ready for some of my favorite days of the year - getting to hear what is in store for the whole year ahead! . . Tell me: what’s one new product you hope BC launches this year?!
Hi friends! Checking in today to share a little in Hi friends! Checking in today to share a little introduction for those who are new and a little refresher for those who aren’t new.... . . I’m Madison. Wife to @joeyhofmeyer and momma to three kiddos - Ainsley (5) Collins (3) and Truett (1). We live in super small town Iowa where my husband and I are both from. We dated in HS, went our separate ways in college, and ended up back together right before graduating. I love our love story because @joeyhofmeyer always knew I was the one for him, and I took a little longer to figure it out. 😂😅❤️ . . In the nearly 10 years since we have been married God has refined us in some pretty major ways. Some of those things are shared here, some are not. Some of those years and experiences I wouldn’t be quick to wish to experience again, but I rejoice in the fact that God does great things through our sufferings and I’ve seen our family grow in character, perseverance and HOPE knowing there is so much more than this world. (Romans 5:3-4 is close to my heart) . . I make a living as a blogger, @beautycounter consultant and content creator/recipe developer. It’s a dream come true to get to do this work and share it with YOU. Thanks for being here! I know your time is valuable and I promise to always make sure time here is time well spent. ❤️
Putting it in my feed because I know sweet post-na Putting it in my feed because I know sweet post-nap babies don’t keep and before long this stage will be just a memory. 😭
Once upon a time we had a giant dining room that h Once upon a time we had a giant dining room that housed nothing besides a dining room table and buffet table and never got used. But it looked nice 🤪 But here is the thing: we don’t have a big enough house to not use a single room to its max. So I said heck to convention and now we have a totally used multi functional room that’s part dining room, part piano room, part play and office storage with a giant play space in the center. Moral of the story: make your house work however you need it to work. Say heck to what looks best in favor of what works best. 🙌
Always seeking out new after school smoothie recip Always seeking out new after school smoothie recipes. Because my oldest is my picky eater and prone to eating sweets and carbs all day if you let her. . . What are YOUR favorite smoothie ingredients? I’ll be sharing our new fave smoothie recipe for kids on the blog tomorrow!
Taking average, non-IG worthy photos and putting t Taking average, non-IG worthy photos and putting them on IG for the last six years and counting 😂💁🏼‍♀️ But OMG 47 degrees in Jan needs to be documented.
The internet is a crazy place these days but one t The internet is a crazy place these days but one thing is for sure: I still love this space and this community. I’m so thankful for each one of you who spends a moment or two here every now and again, who has provided me with a word of encouragement or left this space feeling encouraged. We are better together, eyes fixed on Christ, hope secure not in the things of this world or the troubles of this world but the eternal future we have in Jesus. Some days that’s the only thing that seems we have to hope in, but it is sufficient and worth shouting from the rooftops, is it not?! Praise Jesus that this world is not our forever home and we have SO much more to hope for. ❤️
The courage I hope to embody this year is what I s The courage I hope to embody this year is what I see modeled in this man every day. As I tearfully laid bare some of my fears and worries last night, fretting about decisions and next steps, his steady, calm, and faithful presence astounds me. He has endured and battled through some of the hardest of hard things, and on the other side it has produced a mature, steady, and faith-filled Christian who walks hand in hand with God knowing what he has in store for our lives is the best for us. I’m thankful for you, Joe, and the example you lead our family with.
This mug might be the most photographed mug on IG This mug might be the most photographed mug on IG 😂 since I have it with me nearly half my day every day. Thanks @dwhighamceramics for making the best mugs around. . . Living in a small town in the middle of nowhere Iowa has its drawbacks, but man o man has my home state been a place I’ve been so thankful to live in this last year. 🙌
Finally settled on a 2021 word of the year. And th Finally settled on a 2021 word of the year. And that word is COURAGE. . . Before 2020, I might have told you I thought courage meant speaking your mind and saying whatever you thought, but I think this last year we have ALL realized saying whatever you want whenever you want really isn’t the best way to navigate these times 🤪 . . But when I think about Courage for this year ahead, I think of perhaps a more quiet type of courage I hope to embody. Courage in practicing restraint with my words and my emotions. Courage to be vulnerable when I want to be defensive. Courage to battle moments of worry head on, relying on the promises of God. Courage to step out in friendship and relationship in a more honest way. Courage to say YES to the things that scare me most - I’ve got a few items on that list. . . Tell me: if you have a word for this year ahead, what is it?! I would love to hear!
Great start to 2021! Baby’s first sledding exper Great start to 2021! Baby’s first sledding experience.
