Happy Tuesday from baby Jake! He was just as excited as I was to walk through @mardensmaine last night 😂😍 Also, how cute is his @carhartt hat from auntie @abbyjeanlord! 🤩 #cutie #staylittle #baby4 #1yo #mainebaby #happybaby #babiesofinstagram #lifewithkids #mommyblogger #bloggersofinstagram

Semi-embarrassed to admit it, but I finally got both babies to sleep and I’m snuggling up in front of my fire for a few minutes of me time 🙌🙌🙌 NAPTIME IS LIFE! Anybody?! 🙋‍♀️😆🤷‍♀️ #NapTime #LivingMyBestLife #SorryNotSorry #WinterDays #MaineWinter #LifeWithKids #MommyTime #MommyNeedsABreak #KnittersOfInstagram #MommyBlogger #BloggersofInstagram #MomLife

We are surrounded by such beauty. . Take a moment to just stop and breathe it in today. ❄️

Just in case anyone has ever wondered, THIS is why I love @grovecollaborative. Swipe 👉 to see how much I paid for this month’s order! 🤭😍 Just to break it down for a second, EACH ONE of these items at my local grocery store is over $3.50. That brings this haul in at $60 at the least, and many of those items are more than than $3.50. Not to mention these are the end-of-the-year prices for my favorite seasonal scents, so now my counters will smell like peppermint for the next two months! I don’t always go this crazy, but I DO always find deals. I never buy full price and they always have a great selection of clearance items and specials to get the items that I need every month. So if you’ve been looking for a reason to try, check the #linkinbio or click https://www.grove.co/referrer/42480144/. We both get a treat if you purchase and you may just love it as much as I do! 😍😘 #wellness #cleaning #mrsmeyers #deals #mamaof4 #familyof6 #buyinginbulk #mommyblogger #bloggersofinstagram

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️Am I the only one that gets tension headaches from light sensitivity? 🤦‍♀️ After dealing with one last night and waking up with it this morning I wasn’t taking any chances. I WASHED AND BLOWDRIED my hair in the SAME DAY to help (thick hair is soooo heavy and when it air dries it seems to be heavier 😆) and have my blue-light blocking glasses on to help combat the intense glare coming through my great room windows from a snow-covered, cloudy outdoors. I’m also drowning myself in PastTense from DoTerra! 😍 It was worth it, even thought it set me back a half hour this morning, to feel some relief. PLUS I think it’s the first time I’ve had my hair AND makeup done on a weekday in over a month. Lol 😆🙌🤷‍♀️ Here’s to living that #momlife! Happy #HumpDay every one 😘 #lifewithkids #tensionheadache #wellness #essentialoils #mommyblogger #bloggersofinstagram #mainewinter

I sat at my kitchen table this morning with a steaming cup of coffee and looked at the magic in my backyard. Nothing makes me feel more like a 10yo in Narnia like a fresh snow covering on the big pine trees. I enjoyed the view and my coffee as I quietly laid my day before the feet of my Savior. My devotional had talked about his peace and guidance, the kind that you can’t replicate or purchase, given freely in return for a surrendered heart. Desperate for that peace, for that hope— for the guiding hand walking with me down the road today, I laid my concerns before him one by one, and this is what I heard him say: BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. I found myself arguing — but all of the things that I ‘know’ terrify me, and the things that I don’t know scare me even more. His response was steady; he never wavered: BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. I found myself surrendering my anxieties and worry one line item at a time, each to the answer: BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. When I rose from that place I felt the weight of hundred burdens slipping off my shoulders. It doesn’t matter what I do or don’t know; it’s all about WHO I know. And all I have to do is be still before Him. 🙌🙏 #bestillandknow #bestillmyheart #breathe #morning #devotion #Jesus #joyformom #hope #peace #joy #Jesusforlife #homeschoolmom #mommyblogger #bloggersofinstagram #momlife #Godspeaks #anxietyrelief
