Show Me the Way

Life points you in the right direction. If, any only if, you let it.

We meddle,

we settle,

we avoid and talk over.

Yet, this life will point you in the right direction,

If you listen,

are open to the risk,

are willing to see the possibility.

If, and only if, you let it.

Now is the time to be brave so we don’t bring any limiting beliefs, old storylines or weird vibes into 2019 with us. . You feel me? Because oh how I feel it! . Embrace the feelings. Literally take them in your arms and ask what there is to learn? From this space, we are whole, we are the balance of the light and the dark and we are so human. Always, always learning. . 💚
A moment of celebration to formally announce that our girl Nora slept through the night last night!!! . Nope, not worried about jinxing it. Not worried about celebrating too early or even going to say the word ‘fluke’. Because in this Mom life you got to celebrate every tiny moment, like 8hours of sleep with only the interruption of your 2 and 1/2 year old sneaking into the big bed and sleeping horizontal. Y’all. I will take one out of two! . And the irony is not lost on me that while writing this post about 32 minutes ago, Nora woke up screaming and then Evi woke up and we started bedtime over. . But you know what? I’m still celebrating that one time yesterday when Nora slept through!! . Yes, yes I sure am. 💗 . . Photo x @jes_kphotography
Chris asked me this week if I still believe in Santa Claus? . I said Yes. Like immediately. . It is more the spirit of Christmas I believe in. The traditions, the decorations, ALL the movies (just watched ‘Family Stone’ ... have you seen it? The best) and the tree, oh how I love my tree with Charlie Brown lights and ornaments from all our adventures and my crafted ones my parents saved for me from 1st grade. I love the songs, and the cards on the fridge and road trips and I do love how jolly Santa is. Y’all, how often do we even say the word ‘jolly’ unless it is December! . Speaking of fridge spots, this season I purposely partnered up with @paperculture for my holiday card postcards (no extra paper in an envelope up in here!)! I sent a note after reading that they ‘design for the trees’ telling them I thought they were The Lorax of all card companies and immediately pressed print. They responded that their CEO dresses up as the Lorax every year! The cards are all on recycled paper and they plant trees for every single purchase! Christmas spirit and reforestation, in love! 🙋🏻‍♀️🌲🎅🏼 . And how fun that people move all the time because I am texting every human asking for their address. I don’t get any work done but how fun to get sustainable snail mail! . Cheers to traditions, Santa and being so jolly. Happiest holidays! . 💌💌💌 . #consciouscollaboration #merrymerry #snailmail
My experience in parenting could be summed up in bedtime. The whole extra kisses. Magic. And then telling her to close her eyes. Okay thank you for that one more kiss. Now go to sleep. And then she has to poop. And you take her potty. No poop. Now I have moved to bribes of hot chocolate in the morning. And then another kiss. Thank you sweet girl but seriously go to sleep. And then I leave the room and twelve minutes later, just enough minutes for me to foolishly think she had fallen asleep, she comes out of her room, grabs a book and turns on the light and her little sister stirs. I mean I love the book nerd in her but not effing right now and if you dare wake that non-sleeper of a baby.... Okay back to bed. Thank you for the extra three kisses. Very special. No I won’t sing a song. I love you. Stop talking. Okay last kiss. . A roller coaster of what the effing eff and melting into parent puddy. Almost within two seconds back to back of reaction to puddy and back again. . Kids.
Hey MB. I want you to know that even though I pretend not to remember much about that time about 100 years ago when you asked me to meet up at Whole Foods in Beverly Hills to connect and be friends and see what was possible, I actually do remember. . I remember being intimidated. I remember being mad at you before I even knew you. I remember then meeting you and your insane ease to look the California part that I actually disliked you even a little more. And you had a boyfriend. And taught yoga. I was like, move over, I want all those things! And then you were nice. So that made it worse, too. . And so I was awkward. I was a little bit overweight which made me self conscious in all the spandex we were wearing due to stress and limiting beliefs and workaholic life, even though I was biking uphill or riding the bus to work because you know, you took my beach job (had to add that in). And I had walls up. And I blocked you. Big time. . And so often times I try to block that memory because well, I am embarrassed. And I feel so much fear of what might have NOT BEEN had we not given it a go a couple more times. . Thank you for accepting me. All of me and my many identities and versions and chapters. From this space, you changed my life really. And I am so grateful to do life and business and mothering and all the things with you. . To growing up. To sharing it all. To friends that become teachers. Here here! . Photo x @taylercarlislephotography Faces x @makeupsam . #rockyourbliss #goalsalive #realtalk
HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY / ZOO LIGHTS . Warning! The Santa at @denverzoo Zoo Lights is really, REALLY, really friendly. Was kind enough to make room for me on his lap and Chris was like, WHAT? 😂😂 . A great time at the zoo while most of the animals are fast asleep, there are 2 millions lights, story time with THE Mrs. Claus, and s’mores and a carousel and a train. Basically kid heaven and then they add grown up spirits to your cider and then it’s adult heaven. We had zero lines, major blankets and I cried because Evi was so happy. Yes, I cry every single day. . And I partnered up with the @denverzoo and I get to giveaway FOUR Zoo Lights entry tickets and drink and food vouchers so some parents out there can sleigh the holidays and surprises their kiddos! . How to enter: 🦒 Make sure you are following @denverzoo and @jackicarr 🦒 Tag your crew you want to rock the Zoo Lights with! Add a Holiday emoji! 🦒 One tag = one entry! Tag away for more chances! 🦒 Winner announced on Monday, December 10! . Happiest holidays! Go do all the things! . . #familygoals #happyholidays #denverzoolights #ad #christmasnerd #denverFUN
