“You are all sorts of things you don’t even know yet”

Just because you’ve subscribed to being one way for this long doesn’t mean you don’t have the freedom to change and be different. Don’t let the reactions of others ever be the reason you don’t go there.

I do love a good purge. But the dumpster outside of a house is very symbolic to me.
Like imagine if life was split into 2 halves.
The first half is all about “building” our homes and filling them and decorating and acquiring items to live a certain way, inviting guests over. Painting the walls and then changing the colour. Growing and learning what it’s like to be a home owner. Figuring out who your friends are on the street. Where you fit in.
Then I imagine that the second half is some unlearning. A lot actually. Getting rid of all the appliances and gadgets you don’t really need. Keeping items that make you feel happy and at peace in your home. simplifying. Accepting the imperfections. Keeping only that which is essential, and clearing any clutter that prevents you from feeling at home.
Both halves are totally necessary.

You know when you have thoughts like
“I could never….”
“That’s impossible…”
“I wouldn’t be able to handle….”
“I’m not strong enough for that…”
That’s how I felt 16 years ago on this day, when my mom died.
I thought I wouldn’t survive without my mom. I had only just become a mom myself!
I held a tiny baby Niah in my arms and I remember talking to mom on the phone just weeks before she died. I was crying and feeling overwhelmed, “Mom, how did you raise 8 kids?!?” She replied with encouragement, probably said something crazy like she should have had more. ♥️
Anyways, look Mom! I survived! I can still breath and I have only 3 less kids than you. 😘
Thank you for continuing to watch over us. ♥️

The truth will set you free but it will probably make you miserable first.
The same can be said about acquiring new habits. The behaviours you want on auto pilot, like mostly picking the healthiest food, when fast food would be much easier. Setting time aside to exercise when all you want to do is sleep in or putting yourself to bed earlier but have you ever watched and spending less time on your phone, except are hilarious and isn’t laughing good for your health too??
I’m just hear in this post to say, I get it. Some habits never fully become on autopilot and you have to conscientiously choose the better way every time. BUT at some point if you can stick to it long enough you will FEEL the difference instead of just simply knowing it’s better for you. You won’t just be going through the motions, your belief system around that behaviour will change.
I can be your hype girl. Everything is better when you have a person to talk it out with and to check on you,
What habits do you need help with? Comment below.

Twinning in grey hoodies marking each of our weekend’s adventures and accomplishments. ⚽️💪🏼While I was in running up and down Big White Mountain, my girl Jane was competing in the with her team
Enter, .

She was all smiles and happy for the new experience of a chaperoned team trip. I however was NOT all smiles about this initially, it was a REALLY hard call to carry on with my plan to compete in another Spartan Race when on short notice Jane’s team got the opportunity to compete in provincials. Ever wanted to be in 2 places at once?!
A wise mama told me, “you are, and will always be, her greateat supporter which has undoubtedly contributed to her having this opportunity!! You can let her go confidently this time. And think about how positive it is for her to to see you as a mom, a woman, continuing to have your own epic athletic adventures like this with her Dad! It’s ALL GOOD stuff.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

10 Tips for a successful hike with kids….
1. Bring someone special to distract them ♥️
2. Get them their own hydration packs so they can manage their needs and feel like real hiker people.
3. Decide at the beginning of the season how many hikes you will do as a family and communicate this to them. We aim for 5.
4. Bring lots of candies and share at consistent intervals.
5. Ignore their whining.
6. Choose an appropriate distance for the littlest legs.
7. Promise medium sized slurpees if they normally would get a small.
8. Bluetooth speakers with music they like is cool too.
9. Stay positive.
10. Give lots of positive affirmation. Or shame the older ones for being slower than their 6 year old brother. We have different tactics my hind and and I, but both work well. 😂

If a picture made a sound this one would be “ahhhhhh, that’s better” a connection with nature after a very busy week was just what I needed.
