RAISING TINY TODDLERS

When I look at these photos my heart almost bursts. I am completely overwhelmed with love and gratitude that I get to be their mama. I wish I could bottle up all the joy that they give me. I’d be lying if I said the toddler stage was easy. I don’t have the answers to getting your toddler to eat brussels sprouts or how to avoid tantrums out in public, but I do have one trick that truly snaps everything back into perspective for me. I remind myself that these days are limited. One day I will wake up and they will want to go see their friends, play sports, and do all the things kids do. So, for now, I will cherish the fact that they just want to be at my feet, in my lap, or giving me a big giant hug. 

SHOP DYI MOTHER’S DAY SALE

I bought my first pair of DYI pants about three years ago after being on the hunt for a soft legging that didn’t pill while spinning or running. It was right before I found out I was pregnant with the twins. Since I had a pretty complicated pregnancy my ob recommended a lower impact workout. This was right when I met Nicole and Erin, owners of the Bar Method Southlake. I could tell the love and passion for their clients right away. I continued to take bar until I was six months pregnant, and to my surprise, my leggings continued to grow with me.

After giving birth to the twins, I immediately lost all the baby weight. However, at 24 I was not prepared for this new skin I was in. Nobody talks about the aftermath of having a child, and looking at all my friends in bikinis made me just want to run and hide. This was when I had a whole new appreciation for DYI’s high waistband. It made me feel secure and comfortable, giving me one less thing to worry about with newborn twins.

When the twins turned one and I stopped breastfeeding, I really struggled with nutrition and exercise. My hormones were going crazy and I couldn’t keep my weight down. Gaining almost all of my pregnancy weight back in six months. At this point, I was very self-conscious, but I found confidence in wearing my DYI leggings. They held me in, flattered my body, and weren’t too tight like many of my other clothes.

However, I knew at this point I needed to make a change. I was struggling a lot mentally with how I felt about my body, I couldn’t keep up with my twins, and at my height, that amount of weight would quickly become unhealthy. I’m so grateful for all the women at the Bar Method who helped me on my journey over the past six months. From not being able to do a single pushup, to completing an entire class with pushups on my feet. I needed to go through all these stages so that I could get to this point in my life. Now I wear DYI clothing feeling like a warrior.

My body has been through so many profound changes over the past few years and I am so thankful for DYI and the Bar Method for being there every step of the way. Shop DYI has created durable, comfortable, flattering, and unique pieces for every woman regardless of their shape and size, for whatever season of life they are in. You can shop my entire outfit here. I am wearing a large in all pieces. Use code “mom20” for 20% off your entire purchase.

    It’s been a year since I launched my blog, and I It’s been a year since I launched my blog, and I’m no longer in this space for the reasons I once was. To the world, my life is noticeably different than it was a year ago. God has spent this last year pruning back what was dead, so that my branches could bear more fruit. The refining process is heavy, and I know there’s still so much more work to be done. My hope is that when you see the changes in my life, you know it’s is absolutely by no work of my own, but by His grace my eyes were opened and my heart was changed. Allowing me to let go of cultural norms, relearn how to live slowly and simply, and rediscover who he created me to be. Thank you for your grace over this past year, y’all have never put me in a box and have always allowed me to “be”. It’s something I don’t take for granted. I love you. -Lauren
    Have the courage to have self-awareness, to realiz Have the courage to have self-awareness, to realize where you’re at in life, and be okay with it. Keep your hunger and leave out negativity. Don’t fear adversity, but instead embrace it. Reflect on what you’ve done right, what you can do better, and keep on. Take the steps to develop yourself into who you want to be and the life you want to live. Forgive yourself, love yourself, and don’t waste your time trying to fit in. 
Set yourself apart, as you, vulnerable and true. 
Appreciate family and the little things, and most of all, have faith. He has a plan. So quit worrying and be the best present you because that’s all you can do.

    H&B- I may have given birth to you, but you gave m H&B- I may have given birth to you, but you gave me life. God used you to heal me. To awaken a fire in me. You taught me to let go of the lie that life is supposed to be perfect. You have shown me the true meaning of happiness. I hope I get to spend the rest of my days giggling, outside, and barefoot. Forever & always.
    I never thought I’d be here. I’ve kept my opin I never thought I’d be here. I’ve kept my opinions and suspicions to myself for awhile now. This season has drained me. What world are we building for our children? 
Tomorrow is a day to celebrate mothers, but I honestly can’t celebrate when -
-a mother is mourning the loss of her son who was murdered because of the color of his skin
-mothers can’t provide for their children due to circumstances out of their control and to no fault of their own
-mothers are giving birth alone
-mothers are dying alone
-mothers are getting arrested for taking their children to the park
-mothers are fighting, ridiculing, and belittling each other online because #science -mothers are having their children ripped from their arms for not providing identification
-mothers are trapped in their homes with their abusers

Wake me up from this nightmare. 
This is not a democrat vs. republican issue. This is not a antivax vs. provax issue. 
This is simply a FREEDOM issue.

To my brothers and sisters who look differently than me, I love you. To my brothers and sisters who think differently than me, I love you. I want us ALL to be free. Free to live our lives without fear. Free to choose what is best for our bodies and our families. Satan wants us to fight with each other. 
In the end, you’re either supporting God’s agenda or you aren’t.  Our Heavenly Father is absolutely a God of love, but he is also one of justice. The time to speak up is now. We need each other.
    Forgive me, but my soul is rejoicing. People every Forgive me, but my soul is rejoicing. People everywhere are waking up. Realizing that the list of what we actually need to be healthy and happy is very small. Almost as if God intended it that way 😏 I’m sick of fear, I’ve walked in it too long. Trust in the Lord, and remember this is not our forever home.
    Happy Anniversary JHC. You are always the steady r Happy Anniversary JHC. You are always the steady rock my wild soul needs. I’m so thankful God gave me you. You love me for everything thing I am, and everything I’m not. To think 10 years ago this was all just a dream and now it’s my reality 😭💖🙌🏻 It’s no secret our family loves the outdoors, it’s the greatest medicine and reminder to enjoy life around you. Happy Earth Day 🌎 •

    Our children will learn something during this time Our children will learn something during this time. It may not be how to read, but how in the midst of uncertainty and crisis take care of ourselves and others. Parents: I know these are difficult times, but you cannot fail at a job you were created to do. God is in control 🙌🏻🌿
