Tonight, after quite a few time-outs, a couple of meltdowns(from her and I), and 7 accidents(don’t ask), I was just done. I went upstairs for just a moment, and came back downstairs watching Lenni run up and grab my hand. She looked up at me and asks, “Pray, mommy?”. 😭 I’ve never taught her to pray. I sing “Jesus loves me”, and we sometimes pray before dinner. She’s been to Sunday school a few times and we listen to worship music in the car, but I’ve never taught her about prayer. This 2 year old beam of light, reminded her exhausted mother to just be still and pray. I bowed my head and watched her do the same, and said a prayer. She stood there, head bowed, eyes closed, and held my hand until I was done. I said “amen” to which she immediately said “YAY” and clapped. 🌻 You are truly amazing Lenora Wesley . . . #jesuslovesme #momlife #igmotherhood #nashvillemom #parenthood #motherhoodblog #veganbaby #imomsohard #motherhoodunplugged #mommyandme #littleandbrave #childhoodunplugged #momtogs #letthembelittle #itsagirl #teammotherly #momsofinstagram #motherhoodrising #petitejoys #momswithtattoos #dailyparenting #honestmotherhood #mysweetheart #littlemunchkin #healthymom #motherhoodsimplified #trichotillomania #nashvilleblogger #toddlerlife
We officially moved...AGAIN 😭 I cleaned out this corner just for a photo, and behind the camera sits boxes on boxes of stuff. We landed our dream apartment, however, the excitement hasn’t truly been able to set in because of pure stress. Moving takes a toll on everyone. Our marriage, because Corey and I just bicker about the stupidest stuff that really doesn’t matter. Our bodies, because of the Tennessee heat and the endless amounts of stairs. Our sweet toddler is stressed out of her mind, and not totally understanding what’s happening and pooped on the floor today because I hadn’t unpacked her potty 🤦🏽‍♀️ I could sit here and tell you that I whipped out a bottle of Stress Away essential oil and it was the magic cure, but that would be bull shit. I’m diffusing it, while laying on the floor upstairs, wanting to hire someone to organize my life, and feeling so stressed out and tired I want to cry. All that to say, we’re going to call this place home for as long as possible for multiple reasons! 🙈 I’m going to cry a little more, and then take it one box at a time while my child unashamedly watches Spirit on Netflix(which...Ermagahd why haven’t I discovered it before?!) . . . #realshit #momlife #moving #newapartment #essentialoils #igmotherhood #nashvillemom #parenthood #motherhoodblog #imomsohard #motherhoodunplugged #mommyandme #littleandbrave #childhoodunplugged #momtogs #letthembelittle #teammotherly #momsofinstagram #motherhoodrising #momswithtattoos #dailyparenting #honestmotherhood #healthymom #nashvilleblogger #vegan #marriage

Emily Claire- The first person to show me the genuine strength of a woman in coffee. The person who taught me that I didn’t have to put up with rude people just because I was in the service industry. The friend who gave me a sex Ed class at work before I got married. The woman who I blame/have to thank for my sailors mouth. Emily and Evan, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your nuptials. Thank you for emanating Joy and love to its fullest, and making your wedding about the two of you. I love you both ❤️ . . . #coloradowedding #intimatewedding #mountainwedding #birddress #weddingdress #coloradobride #rockymountainbride #groom #husbandandwife #weddingphotography #weddingphotos #coloradophotography #coloradophotographer #weddingbouquet

Peppermint- the essential oil that’ll turn any doubting Thomas into a believer. From the moment we stepped off the plane into Colorado, our allergies have been CRAZY, and so have my parents. We all started our days by putting one drop of Peppermint Vitality into a tiny glass of water. I turned my parents into believers after they spent the entire day without allergy medication or icing their eyes because of how bad they itched 🙈 No sneezing, no itching, no runny noses. You can also use peppermint for headaches, bug bites, nausea(I use it for flights because I always feel sick), or even to help with hiccups. Peppermint is included in the Premium Starter Kit which is STILL on sale until Tuesday evening at 11:59pm MST. . . . #essentialoils #youngliving #chemicalfree #seedtoseal #ethicallymade #ethical #girlswithtattoos #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #healthylife #vegan #cleanliving #diy #health #wellness #healthyfamily #peppermint #veganbaking #baking #hiccups #headacheremedies #morningsickness #allergies
I dove into Colorado’s craft coffee scene 5 years ago, after walking into a warehouse looking for a job not even realizing I was in a coffee roasting warehouse for one of the largest specialty coffee roasters at the time. Seeing the wave completely overtake Colorado over the past five years has been such a joy, and being able to be a PART of that wave? Indescribable. Now I am able to come back to visit and see people who I get to call friends, continue riding the wave and create beautiful spaces that are making such an impact on the city of Denver. So proud of all of you. So proud of this city. So proud to be your friend. . . . #denver #specialtycoffee #coloradocraftcoffee #barista #espresso #macchiato #cappuccino #latte #doubleshot #flatwhite #latteart #denvercraftcoffee #baristalife #espressomachine #portafilter #espressobar #coffeeculture #drink #coffeeandseasons #coffeelover #coffeeaddict #coffeetime #coffeebreak #instacoffee #coffeelove #denvercoffee
