It’s Mother’s Day… and it’s also Maycember, which means I’ve had approximately zero time to post this week.

Between Teacher Appreciation Week, end-of-the-year activities, recitals, shows, field trips, and all the little things that somehow become big things, there has been no time to create content.

So today, this is what I’ve got: a few favorite photos from past Mother’s Days and the days my babies were born. No text on the photos. No fancy reel. No perfectly curated anything. Just gratitude, memories, and rest.

Maycember is not for the faint of heart. I was up late texting with other moms this week because, yes, they were still awake too. And as another mom reminded me, “We make the magic happen.” And wow… isn’t that the truth?

So cheers to the magic makers.

To the moms packing lunches, signing folders, buying gifts, remembering theme days, showing up to programs, wiping tears, cheering from the sidelines, running carpool, making appointments, and somehow keeping everyone’s world spinning.

I pray you have the Mother’s Day you envisioned for yourself.

Personally, I’m currently laying in the guest room and I do not plan on getting up for the entire day. I’m staying hunkered down, watching TV, vegging out, and sleeping. And honestly? It sounds perfect.

What a privilege and honor it is to serve our families. God knew exactly what He was doing when He created mothers.

Praying you all find rest for your souls today.

Happy Mother’s Day. 🤍

Broken Bow has quickly become one of our family’s happiest places. 🌲

Fresh air, dirt roads, slow mornings, kids running around outside, and just enough quiet to make you remember how good it feels to unplug for a minute.

A little weekend peace with my favorite people. 🤍

Influencers in the wild… but make it moms 😂 Spent the weekend at Mom 2.0 creating, connecting, and wearing actual outfits for once. Rare footage of me NOT in athleisure. Which one was your favorite?
