A little #realtalk #peptalk for ya (and honestly, myself) today. Because I've been feeling all the things this week. . Have you ever said these phrases or anything similar? . I'm just a mom/just a sahm/just a wife/just a fur mama/just a girl. I just wrote one post/a few posts/a few hundred words. I just have a few (tens/hundreds/thousands) followers, readers, subscribers, likes, etc. I'm just a writer/blogger/part-timer. I just do this little side gig. It's just a little online shop. It's just a degree. It's just a few pounds. It's just a few dollars. I just started. I just finished. . Do you hear it? What do you "just" in your life? Start paying attention where you justify things in your life. Stop discounting yourself and your accomplishments. Stop "justing." You're not "just" anything. If you started something or finished something, lost a few pounds, wrote a few more words, earned a degree, you did that! Celebrate it! If you are a mom, working or stay at home or part-time, yearn to be a mom, a married lady or a single lady, that's what you are! Be proud and own it! Don't discount anything with justifying it. You're worth more than that. Remember that 💕 YOU ARE. Period. ✨

Happy Monday! 🌿 I have been working on this #blogpost for what seems like forever, and it's finally live #ontheblog! #linkinbio 👆 to read how I make my homemade laundry soap that I've been using for several years and why I have no plans on going back to regular detergent 🙅‍♀️ It may surprise how easy it is to make, and the cost breakdown is insane! (That took the most time and lotsss of math yesterday 😂)... I'm curious, have you switched to any green cleaning in your household? Any DIY or homemade products you love to make and use? 🌿🌿

How I feel about it being Friday and a 3-day weekend💃🎉 yesterday hit a little harder emotionally than I expected. By the end of the day, I was emotionally spent. I got to feeling pretty sad about some things, and honestly, just got in my own head about them. Essentially, I'm just sad that some things aren't what they used to be. And this 👈 has always been a pain point for me. Being a 6 (any fellow enneagrammers out there? 🙋‍♀️), I like things to stay the way they are, especially if they are working. I love feeling secure and sure about situations, especially relationships, friendships, and my community. But I'm having to learn how to stand on my own, when needed, and embrace the community I am privileged to have 🙏 Anywho, didn't mean to get that serious on this happy friday post 😂 I'm ready for the weekend of college football (#bedlam #boomersooner), catching up on #thisisus and #HOC, all the fall weather, and daytripping out east to Hood River and beyond with my loves 👨❤🐶 I'm also excited for a sunday of nothing 🤷‍♀️😆💆‍♀️ do you have any fun plans for the weekend?? 🎉 #happyfriday #bringontheweekend 📸: @chrismadrigal8 😘

Happy 33rd, love 💛 your favorite! 🎉 thank you for continuing to shine your light in the everyday moments 🌻 I try to do my very best to pay attention 🙏 Mt. Hood was visible for the first time in a long time this morning and was showing off a gorgeous sunrise with the fog rolling in 🌄 thank you for that too 🙂 love and miss you always 😘 we celebrate YOU today 🎉🎂 #hbdKJC #heavenbirthday #number33 #1108isgreat #ediabd

Happy 11th birthday to this little lady today! I'm so glad I was able to have a Braums ice cream date with her when I was home in September 🍦 We chatted about school, sports, why more people don't shop at bargain stores, and that doing the right thing isn't always the easiest, the most favored, or the most fun choice, but it's always the best choice. It's funny how time and growth go hand in hand. Growth from maturity and growth from experience. Being a step mom, even for the short time that I was, has taught me more now than when I was in it. Even saying that phrase - "step mom" - still feels weird to this day. Like "oh, that was me!" When we are in the thick of life, and more in a particular season - long or short, it can be easy to overlook things and get caught up in the not-so-important stuff. Which, in the end, sometimes costs us our most invaluable commodity - time. Those almost moments and experiences we can't ever get back. But the beautiful thing about time is it sometimes teaches us invaluable lessons. It can cultivate growth. And in that growth, we can learn from our past mistakes and work towards a better future. A future that can be beautifully sewn together with those most precious moments and new experiences. 💕 #itssimplytuesday

Oh, hi friends! 👋 don't mind me, I'm just over here on the Mondayest of Mondays posting a pumpkin pic after Halloween *GASP* 😂 #idowhatiwant 💁‍♀️ also, I'd be lying if I said I didn't buy us new #hearthandhand stockings from @target yesterday 🙊 and I'm doing my best to hold off on the Christmas music 😬 but I don't see that lasting much longer 🎄 anyone else in season limbo after Halloween??? I love fall, but I lovvve the cozy, magical vibes of Christmas decor 😍✨ #forevertorn #cozyminimalist #gimmeallthecozyvibes #bringonthechristmasmusic
