If I’m being honest, I’m not someone who ever dreamed of being a mom one day like a lot of girls do. I’m actually someone who hated babysitting growing up so didn’t know what I’d be like as a mom 😂
But from the moment I became a mom it felt effortless and the first time in my life it felt like this is what I was always meant to do and who I was meant to be.
God has used motherhood to redeem, transform and refine me in so many ways and I couldn’t be more grateful to say I’m a mother. And a mother that’s always followed and listened to my God-given intuition.
I also am a mom that will go to bat for you when it comes to supporting you in your decisions and intuition as a mother.
Discipline, medical choices, schooling… nothing is a one size fits all and when I became a mom I did things outside of the “norm” and always held my beliefs close but also kept my empathy and understanding closer.
I’m the mom that will go to bat for you, support you and encourage you, even if your motherhood and parenting looks different than mine.
I’m the mom that will tell you to always listen to your gut, even if your gut is telling you different than mine.
What I desire so much for this platform and real life community, is a place where moms truly support other moms, even when their stories and backgrounds are different.
All of our backgrounds and circumstances may look different but the ministry of motherhood remains the same, holy, personal and important 🫶🏼🕊️
I don’t keep room for judgment.
I don’t keep room for the moms that talk about you when you leave the room.
I don’t keep room for mom shaming or excluding.
I’m the mom that will tell you to block out the noise, go inward and do what’s best for yourself and your family ALWAYS.
So this is just a post to say, I love you, I’m cheering you on always and I’m so grateful you’re here. You’re an amazing mama and be the mom friend you wish you had 💗💗💗
I literally envisioned what this would look like 🥺
Our kids coming down the stairs to see us in the kitchen/dining room reading our Bibles and knowing that was a habit of mom and dad.
We have 3 kids, all 5 and under so it might not always be quiet, there’s lots of interruptions and pauses while we read, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Slow mornings.
Hot coffee.
Turning pages.
Underlining & highlighting what the Lord is speaking to us.
Living in an answered prayer.
So stinkin grateful for my best friend and the life we’ve created together with Jesus 🥹🫶🏼

this is straight where my eyes went as I rewatched this clip from my camera roll.
Wondering when the back of my legs will smooth out, if ever.
Thinking about being in a bathing suit or shorts and the dimples showing…
Instead of focusing on how I used to not even know how to use this machine and how cool it is I use it several times a week.
Instead of focusing on how my form has improved (it’s not perfect but I’m improving!!)
Instead of focusing on how much heavier I can lift than when I started one year ago.
In a world where the internet and people can pick you apart, don’t add to it. Speak gently and kindly to yourself. Speak with LOVE 🫶🏼
You are fearfully and wonderfully made !!!
And I’m sharing this bc I need the reminder too 🥹❤️

what I eat in a day: low carb edition 💫
this week my macro coach @_thehealthyblonde has me on a 5-2 carb cycle (5 low carb days~ 144g // 2 high carb days~ 270g)
This is week 12 of my macro program with her and I’ve officially lost 14lbs of fat !! So stinkin proud 💪🏽
You can be doing all the right things in the gym but if your nutrition isn’t locked in, you won’t see the results you’re wanting.
Ps carb cycling has been newer for me! Didn’t introduce this until a couple weeks ago and my macros have changed weekly since 💃🏻
Do we want a high carb day example?? I live for high carb days guys 😂 give me all the carbs lol

unapologetic about being the mom that frickin goes for it 💖🤘🏽
I love being a mama soooo much! It’s my most favorite gift and title from God.
I also love chasing after my goals and being the best version of myself for them!
& not joking when I say, lifting weights changed my life.
I’m not an expert, but I show up 1% better every day and that’s always the goal.
Not better than the girl next to me, but better than who I was yesterday 💪🏽
Better for myself.
My kids.
My husband.
and most importantly…
Honoring and stewarding the body God gave me.
