Lessons from the mat 🧘‍♀️

I get frustrated when I can’t do something well. Sometimes it makes me want to quit.

Do you feel the same way sometimes?

If you feel this way too, here are 3 reminders to keep you going:
✨ there is nothing wrong with trying and possibly failing, that is how you learn and become better
✨it’s ok take a step back, rest, regather yourself and try again
✨ remind yourself of the hard things you’ve accomplished before and let that motivate you to keep going

Tell me: what have you wanted to quit but glad you didn’t 👇

Happy Friday y’all!

Feeling lucky to have spent the last week in Cabo with our little fam and Forrest’s aunt and uncle! We enjoyed the sunshine and a hurricane 😂

Traveling with a baby can seem daunting, but if you never try you’ll never know how it will go 🤷‍♀️ this is our second time flying with baby and it went pretty well!

My biggest tip would be- just roll with it. On travel days he barely napped and wouldn’t fall asleep on the plane until the very end of the flight. But he was happy to be on the floor by our feet rolling around- so we just went with it.

I brought additional black out curtains for his room, his sound machine, and monitor to help keep his sleep consistent. So while baby was snoozing 😴 we could chill by the pool and not worry too much!

It was also a big help to travel with family! Who wanted to play with him and watched him a few nights so we could go on a date!

Vacation with a baby 👶🏼 is just different. You don’t have your usual freedom to go when and where you want- but with some trial and error you figure it out and you make the best of it. We still went to town one day, but after that decided to stick with staying on the resort with baby 😂

We also stayed in a house on a massive resort (found it cheaper in airbnb!) so we would explore different pools and restaurants every day just to change it up.

10/10 would do it again!

9 months out vs 9 months in (let’s be serious it was more like 10 months)
Mental edition

I have been waiting for this moment for so long. You see so many 9 months posts and I couldn’t wait to see where I would be.

I thought by 9 months things would FINALLY begin to feel normal.

Nope

It’s been 9 months of learning grace, letting go, and showing up as my best self every day.

Are there hard days.
Yup
Does it go perfectly everyday.
Nope.

But with every small lesson, I learn something new, and the next day I get to begin again and try again.

It’s probably my favorite part of motherhood. Starting fresh everyday no matter what happened the day before.

I’m letting go of “at x months I’ll feel this…” and embracing the brand new each day brings.

I never thought I would love as much as I do, and I’m grateful for it everyday.
