30 weeks pregnant 10 weeks til we meet this baby 8 years of being called mama 4 years juggling 2 kids 3 weeks of quarantine 1 happy mama heart Lots of good and so much chaos in our numbers. This time is sweet. Not a thing on our calendar besides OB appointments. Truthfully, I don’t hate it (although I miss traveling, going out, and squeezing my people). I don’t want these days to last forever, but I have to admit that I’m kind of cherishing this time. Slowing down, changing our priorities, and connecting deeply with Jesus and my family. What is one good thing quarantine has done for you?

Can we have some real talk? While some of the memes about “being forced” to be with our family all day everyday are funny, they’re equally ridiculous to me. The thing most people wish for at the end of their life is more time with the people they love AND here we are being given the gift of extra time with our kids and spouses yet so many are complaining about it?! I get it. I already homeschooled and my husband works from home part of the time. They can all drive me up the wall. Everyone always needs something, there’s definitely bickering and the chores never end, but honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. You know why? Because I choose to be thankful. That’s right. It’s a choice. My friend just shared today about girl she knows who had stage 3 cancer and had just given birth to her miracle baby. She went in for her scans last week (expecting it to be stage 4 terminal) and the cancer was GONE! No explanation except GOD! A total and complete miracle. Do you think she’s annoyed with her family right now? No, she’s probably on her knees thanking God for more time with them. So, next time your husband leaves his shoes in the middle of the floor or your kids dump every toy they own in the middle of the floor or somebody whines for the 100th time that day, remember to give thanks that they’re around to drive you crazy for another day.

We may be quarantined, but just remember that each day is one day closer to SUMMER ☀️ One day this week in the 90’s and I have to admit that we may have got a little over zealous and laid out in the pool all day long. The heat got us so excited for the the sunny months to come and *fingers crossed* some time on the beach. We’re keeping cool in the water and even cooler in our new matching shades from @discountglasses You can shop below: https://discountglasses.mvk.co/1q5qm Hands in the air if you cannot wait for summer, sun, and all things HOT 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

Life’s a walk in the park... at least right now it is. While being cooped up, our family has lived for morning, afternoon, and evening walks and bike rides (except no bikes for me 🤰🏼). It’s been a great way to get out of the house and get some exercise while maintaining a safe distance from others. To keep my balance and give Sailor breaks, we’ve been strolling around with the @deltachildren Revolve Reversible Stroller. I love that it’s all in one including car seat compatible for when this June baby arrives. And let me just say, I am here for the one handed fold 🙌🏻 This stroller is comparable to the Bugaboo Lynx but at a much more affordable cost. Who else is living for walks and bike rides lately?

Oh what a day this was. A day I thought I’d want to forget. Throwback to a few weeks ago when we were in Dallas. Our mini (cheer) vacay started out on a high dining at the American Girl doll cafe and some much needed family time. Then later that day, we headed to a new hotel for all things cheer. We ended up dining with Presley’s whole team and their families at the strangest place I’ve been to in my life, but boy, did we laugh a lot. Once we got back to the hotel, Sailor instantly passed out and Presley was about to, but I urged her not to as our room smelled like a sewer. At around 11:30pm, we grabbed our bags and sleeping child and half sleeping child and moved rooms. Anthony and I laid in bed that night joking how tomorrow was a new day. If only we knew.... I woke the girls up around 8:30 so we could run grab breakfast downstairs before it closed. All of a sudden, Presley yells “there’s a bug on my pillow” It took everything in me not to freak out. It wasn’t just any bug, it was a BED BUG. Thank goodness, we hadn’t unzipped our bags, so we immediately left the hotel in exactly what we had slept in. I kept laughing until I was about to cry while also feeling mortified that we were out in public in our pjs. It’s just not me. I have NEVER done that. Presley was more embarrassed than I was. We went to breakfast in our slippers while desperately trying to find a new hotel followed by a Target run for some essentials while waiting for our new hotel room to be ready. It all turned out fine and God provided a WAY better (and closer to cheer) hotel than we had before. As I sit here stuck in my house, I laugh remembering how I felt that morning. Oh, what I would give to repeat that morning (minus the bedbugs), to be able to be traveling, to be out and about at a diner in my pjs enjoying breakfast, and running around target carefree. My point in sharing this story is perspective. We take so much for granted everyday. And, my hope and prayer after the sun is shining and this virus has gone away is that we live in the moment better, we love a little harder, we squeeze our people a little more often, and that we truly enjoy the little things.
