  • Woke up this morning in a parking lot with this guy nestled next to me. Our RV really feels like a nest and nothing in the world makes me happier than being cozy with my family. #attachmentparenting

  • The young boy who sat in the back of our RV teaching himself piano on a cheap keyboard for four years has come a long way. Saturday night Nathanael won the Guild scholarship competition at Westmont College out of a group of wildly talented musicians. He played in the same spot where Brent and professed our love for each other in front of friends and family. (Swipe for pics) We were so blessed to again have longtime friends and family in the audience. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the gifts of love, art, music, friends, family, and, of course, motherhood. Win or no win I could not be prouder of this young man. He works hard for the things he loves, he speaks his mind, he feels and thinks deeply, he is brave beyond his years, he loves his brothers, and strives to be a true gentleman. Congratulations @nathannims. I love you bigger than the sky times infinity.

  • Mother and son weekend trip. Parenting a teenager isn’t the easiest thing in the world but it is one of the most rewarding. He’s not only my son but my friend.❤️

  • Twenty years ago today, a Sunday, I woke nervous and giddy and smelling of cigarette smoke. The night before I had met my mysterious neighbor for the first time on my doorstep in Santa Barbara. He had walked over to meet the new girls who had moved in next door and were throwing a party. We danced and drank and laughed until the early hours of morning. I spent that Sunday listening to The Autumns writing (bad) poetry wondering if I would see him again. In the evening, I heard a knock on my door and today here we are. I love you, @bnims. For those who don’t know but are curious here is part of our story. I wrote it back when I had a “health blog” and thought you needed two spaces after periods. http://www.girl-heroes.com/2010/02/26/from-psycho-to-princess-playlist/

  • Friday family fun! One of the best things about being self-employed and alternative schooling is going out during the weekday while everyone is at school and/or work. Spent some time at the @fineartscenter this afternoon and then walked to a park.

  • Nothing lifts my spirit more or makes me feel like a better mom than getting everyone outside. It’s an instant mood and confidence boost. Everyday outside play/exploration was one my intentions for the new year. I haven’t been 100% compliant but simply setting that intention has made me more mindful about how we are spending our time. It’s sooooo important for kids (and adults) to spend time in nature. Our Bigs spent a good amount of time outdoors growing up and that effort (Let’s be real sometimes it’s a PITA to get outside...at least for me.🤷🏻‍♀️) has paid off. Now as teenagers they will head out to the trails on their own without being asked. For myself, I developed an appreciation and love for nature as a result of my parents choices. They regularly took us camping and I grew up free to explore the forest next to our home. I’m grateful for that gift. ❤️🐌🦉🌵🌳🍂🍄🌺☀️❄️🌊🐾🌿🍁🌎

  • This little guy turned 3 yesterday. He’s my (mostly)quiet and more serious one of the bunch. He loves Batman, building, cuddling (“hold me mama” is the first thing he says when we wakes up next to me each morning), and pretending to be “baby owl” and getting wrapped up in his mama’s wings. I’m so grateful to be “mommy owl”.

  • Getting closer. This week it will be two months since we’ve had a kitchen. Four years of RV living taught us many useful things...like how live without a dishwasher and cook with 2 square feet of counter space. So two months is nothing. (Kinda...I’ve been feeling slightly nutso but it will be worth it. I might even want to wash dishes with that view.) #nimshouserenovation

  • When I woke up it was grey and cloudy and I was feeling a little meh. During breakfast we watched the sun come out and the clouds lift to reveal a snow capped Pikes a Peak and I was reminded my problems aren’t really problems at all. They are simply challenges to overcome with the help of the Creator of these mountains. #instantmoodboost #mountainsaremymedication #grateful #iliftmyeyesuptothemountains (sunset from last week)
