The Fear of Being Abnormal

"Mom. I need to take my bath outside, " she declares, handing me the white bowl. Why. The Heck. Not.

Thank goodness Lily is here to remind us all to F*ck the fear of being abnormal. And just celebrate being completely awesome.

 

Also this perfectness, from an awesome pal's instagram:

In the Mountains

Little Moments

We are remodeling the upstairs. So we have all been camping out in the living room. For a month. It's September. By far our busiest month of the year.

Yesterday was my Birthday.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed. Just being honest. Sometimes it feels like a lot.

But this morning I woke up completely grateful for it all. These adventures and crazy routines flood my heart with pure appreciation. Sure everything is all over the place, and I'm barely sleeping, but I know these mornings, and days, are the ones I will treasure forever and ever.

The simple things always bring me right back.
