So many things over these past few months have been hard. Spending so much time with my girls isn’t one of those things. I know most parents are cheering about the news of 100% in person school this year, but Mike and I actually thought this was the perfect year to do something different.

Because school is also offering a remote option that will track along with their classes, we decided to buy an RV and learn remotely this year. (Im not using the term ‘homeschool’ because it’s the school’s curriculum- not mine.) So now I’m learning all about the RV, what to bring with us, what to leave, and most importantly- 🏕 where to go?! We won’t travel straight through, we’ll do little out and backs. I think that format works best for the age of our girls and especially with Mike working from the road.

So now we’re booked from July-August and are looking for something in September that might be our last hurrah until January. There is a lot up in the air with Covid and if we have to shelter in place again, so we have a flexible mindset.

We’re trying to decide if we stay in Colorado, or do a Utah route to Arizona. Or maybe Utah and back. Any ideas would be appreciated! Any fave sites we shouldn’t miss?

This was in April. Who knew this would be viewed as ‘simpler times?’ Since adding BLM posts to stories as well as my feed I’ve lost over 600 followers. That’s 600 people who were so offended by my showing support for the black community that they couldn’t bear to see my feed. Most were strangers, but some (I have an app that shows exactly who) were people I’ve met and had followed for years. One woman I met over 10 years ago on a photo shoot and we’d stayed in ‘social media’ contact ever since.
Gone.

Let’s be clear- I’m not upset about the loss itself. If standing up to racism bothers you, find another account with cute kids to follow. There are about a million out there.

I haven’t known what to post during this time. Happy photos of my kids? Product shots? Sponsored posts? It all seems so meaningless. But not doing it also feels bad. I’ve blogged for 13 years and having a format to share thoughts and connect with people, along with an outlet that allows me to be creative feels great especially against the backdrop of a pandemic life that often mirrors groundhog’s day.

So bear with me as I find a way to use this medium to tell stories, share information, earn income, and even *gasp* voice my opinions from time to time. 💁🏼‍♀️

I first head @justnutritiveproducts from @osmiaorganics founder Sarah Villafranco who swore by the line. Since discovering it, I think it might be one of my most purchased lines ever as you can see from the bottles.

I’m in love with their self tanner that has over 800 glowing reviews, and intrigued by their natural treatment for thinning hair that has some pretty convincing photos to back their claims up.

Harper is the kindest soul I know. She has had the same friends for years, but still invites others in. She is kind even when it doesn’t serve her to be, and she extends herself to those who need it. I have learned so much from her. She’s 8 today and we’re so happy to celebrate her. 🎂 🎉

A few facts on my husband’s bday:

We have worked from home for almost the entire 20 years we’ve been together. We’re literally always together.

I’ve seen him yell a handful of times. He is so measured and talks through things really well, he’s rarely frustrated.

He’s so cute with the girls. He sees that they’re little and gives them a TON of room to grow and make mistakes.

He does most of the cooking. He has become a really good cook over the years.

He’s the kindest, most loving person I know. We’re lucky to have him. ♥️
