I honestly hated both Jean shorts AND basic white t shirts until I found these two items that are basic yet cut so well that they are comfy and flattering.

Personally, I’ve released most of my silly ideals about Mother’s Day because it’s truly just another day. But I did ask for coffee in bed and no gifts. Instead I told Joe I want to shop for whatever @dwhighamceramics mugs I want next week when she is in town for @octulipfestival and to get a long run in outside on Sunday.

I think about this every time I put these overalls I think about this every time I put these overalls on. Because I love them. And they are crazy comfy and practical for life with kids. And yet I still second guess myself because it was so ingrained to always dress in a way that’s most “flattering to my figure.” 
.
.
But you know what is also just as important? Dressing for your life. Or how your body feels on a given day. Or for your personal style and preferences regardless of how an item might be seen on your body. 
.
.
I love the power of getting dressed and looking put together. But this is also your permission to not dress to please society, too. 🥰😘😉

Is there any better feeling than putting the house Is there any better feeling than putting the house to bed at the end of a full day? It’s always a little chaotic getting to the bedtime finish line but I loved capturing some sweet everyday moments as we did our end of the night routine. #momlife #lifeathome #dayinthelife #vlog #makinghome #home
The years ago, with a fourth month old baby and ha The years ago, with a fourth month old baby and having just moved back to our small hometown, I was offered a full time job that paid 40k per year. I sat with the offer and then said to myself, “I think I can figure out, somehow, how to make that same income from home.” I turned down the job with NO idea how I would replace it, but looking back I love 27-year-old-me’s confidence. 😅
.
.
For a few years after that decision I patched to  together a bunch of jobs: I worked for my cousin’s energy bar start up, I blogged and took sponsored content work, I wrote SO many freelance articles and developed so many recipes on short deadlines for any brand that offered work. During that time, I also signed up on a whim to partner with a clean beauty brand that had launched a direct sales model. I had no aspirations making more than a little extra spending money and pay for my products while sharing about the importance of making sure the personal care products we used were safe. 
.
.
It was a lot of hard work and working in the margins and hustling to get jobs from brands and hosting events and learning new skills and having hard and uncomfortable conversations. But after my second was born, my direct sales business had grown to the point where I felt comfortable dropping all the other jobs and focusing on sharing clean beauty.
.
I’ve worked in direct sales for almost a decade now. I think of myself as a brand rep and sales arm of mission-minded clean brands that are working to do good for people and the planet while allowing me the flexibility to have moments like this with my kids - birthday breakfast at 9 am in our pajamas while we cheers and chat and play all day. 
.
I’ll be the first to say this isn’t for everyone. It’s not everyone’s dream. But if it’s your dream, like it was mine, then there IS a way and a vehicle to make those dreams a reality. 
.
If that’s on your heart - whether you’re a young momma like I was or in a totally different season of life, let me show you the way. Let’s chat about what it might look like to lock arms and grow something amazing.

I’ve been seeing increasing amounts of “health I’ve been seeing increasing amounts of “health” related content that is extremely triggering for those who have dealt with disordered eating - especially as we approach “swimsuit season.” 🤪 And while I’m not here to tell others what to post, I am here to remind YOU to curate your feed and guard your heart and mind. 
.
.
As someone who has had a complicated relationship with her body and recovered from disordered eating and still occasionally finds herself falling into unhealthy mental patterns if I’m not diligent, this is your reminder that true HEALTH looks like focusing on how your body FEELS, actual bio-markers of health (such as labs and blood work) and your body’s ability to perform in life and in whatever physical activities you partake in. 
.
.
For me, that looks like steering clear of anyone and anything promoting “bikini body” plans or ways of eating, before and after photos, restrictive eating (unless it’s for a medical reason, allergy, etc) and, yes, obsessive macro counting or protein consumption. 
.
.
While I’m not an expert, I am someone who has lived this and learned through many decades of trial and error as I’ve learned to love my body and care for it well without obsessing over it. Follow positive accounts like @diet.culture.rebel and others who share health focused, anti-diet content. 
.
.
PS: my best advice is to find a sport or physical activity that’s demanding and forces you to FUEL for performance and shifts the focus from how you look to what your body is capable of. It’s SO helpful! #health #heathyliving #antidiet #fitmom #momlife #momof4

I love this quote so much. I’ve been thinking si I love this quote so much. I’ve been thinking since I got this text earlier in the week from my husband about how our “in the mud” people really give us wings to be brave, to withstand hard times, to be vulnerable, to risk failure and to rest easy in it all knowing we aren’t alone. 
.

Tag an “in the mud” person in the comments and let them know you’re thankful for them. ❤️❤️

Life got a whole lot better and more fun when I st Life got a whole lot better and more fun when I stopped making clothing choices based on what I thought I should wear and started dressing in things that felt like “me.” These jeans have been my FAVORITE denim purchase this year. And the white t-shirt is the best t shirt I’ve ever owned.

Somewhere along the lines after my fourth baby I l Somewhere along the lines after my fourth baby I lost a little bit of my joy and motivation for getting dressed every day and slipped into a cycle of non stop activewear. But the truth is, I feel better and am more productive when I take the time to get dressed. If you’re a fellow woman needing some hand holding and inspiration to get dressed each day, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s do it together. ❤️❤️

Ps: pretty excited to have found what I think is THE best plain white t shirt ever. And it’s on sale right now! I sized up to a medium and then tossed it in the dryer on accident and it fits perfect. 🤣
