i wanna be dean
BABY DEAN! BABY DEAN! BABY DEAN!!!
This cutie pie is 19 mo old today πΆπΌπ! He hates being weighed, measured, or walking into the pediatrician's office π, is a man of few words (if 5 people you lived with did everything for you, you wouldn't talk either), sometimes he's so smart it makes me laugh (mostly bc he acts like he's 5 or 8 whichever π), he's more social than a butterfly and flirts like nobody's business, he loves being wrapped in his blanky from behind, and will bring you his shoes, socks, and coat when he wants to go somewhere. He waves by cupping his hand and twisting his wrist back and forth, snuggles into my neck when he's tired, loves a sippy full of milk OR coconut π΄ water, and eats abooooooout twenty pounds of food a day. His best dance move is the worm π, and my favorite #family memory of all time was when he laid down on the floor of the living room and showed us this fancy dance move for the first time πππ. I've never been more #baby hungry in my liiiiiiiife, except when I think of having another one, I can't picture anyone other than dean-O ππ»ππΆπΌπ. Happy Friday the 13th π little man. Good gravy I #love this baby.

IMAGINE.
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? I took this picture on the last night we were on #Kona π΄at the Emerald Extravaganza. I stood there thinking about how far this team of ours had come #IMAGINEplexus . I thought about all of the lives that had been changed. And then I thought about the people who quit too soon. Then about the people who have come back πππ». I thought about how after 7 days of using Plexus I called Brooke @7surferz to say it wasn't working, and I was quitting. I'm so glad she didn't let me. I thought about how she believed in me before I believed in myself. Before Plexus, I had convinced myself that network marketing was for the people that couldn't really make it. I had judged them so harshly for so long, that i spent the first 3 months of sharing Plexus ashamed and worrying about what people thought. i literally woke up every day and said "i won't post today, and i won't message anyone" bc i was so embarrassed and ashamed i was involved in network marketing. i felt so foolish, but I couldn't deny what it had done for me, and then I started to see it do it for people that I KNEWπ. i remember just wishing that it didn't have to be network marketing. like WHY did these products have to be with network marketing? why couldn't i just get them at the store? why did i have to be a sell out now "selling something"? i think the biggest thing was that i had been so judgmental of everyone around me that was selling things, and now in MY mind i was under my own judgement. that was more painful than anything. it was believing all of the things i had thought about everyone else now about myself. we are so hard on ourselves as people. it is a struggle to be kind to ourselves. don't eat that, it's bad for you. you're not #healthy enough. you're not a patient enough mother. You fall short here, and that other person does it better. it's not like we're necessarily meaning to be unkind to ourselves, but we know we are usually our own worst critic. this last year has been full of personal growth, but what I always come back to is that this thing called Plexus has changed lives, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about in that ππ».

the look on my face when it's bedtime.
The look on my face when it's #bedtime πππ»π€‼️ I #LOVE ππ that sleep works π΄π€. I used to DREAD going to bed at night bc I knew it was going to take me at least an hour or two of #countingsheep ππ , and then tossing and turning all night long. Now, I fall asleep in less than 5 minutes, and I don't wake up for a thing ππ #didallthekidssleepthroughthenight ⁉️ (except when they DO wake me up of course π, but NOW I can fall back asleep right away, even if it's after 4am π. If you're a #woman I KNOW you know what I'm talking about). What's better than falling asleep before my husband and not waking up at random hours (not including #crazy #craycray kid nights and killing cats nights π³πΉ) ?! What's better is waking up RESTED, alert, and ready for my day. 99.9% of the time‼️Hey, even #Santa π π»π #oldsaintnick doesn't have a perfect track record π. Sleep π΄π€ should work, you should be able to fall asleep right away, sleep all night, and wake up rested. And don't let anyone tell you "it's just your thirties" π. I don't accept that anymore, and you shouldn't either! #insomnia and #insomniac NO MORE.

once every HALF a decade
Abooooooout once every HALF a decade you'll find me at the lights π on temple square ππ»π #lighttheworld ❗️it usually takes me about 5 more years to decide to #brave the crowds again after that πππ. Also to thaw from it ❄️π₯ππ». Here's what I want to know though. Can we not figure out a way to have a hot chocolate π«☕️ truck π parked somewhere INSIDE of temple square π? Like one that doesn't have lines, and maybe they just pass them out to everyone while you're moving. I'm not necessarily talking free here. I'll be a paying customer! My #vision is like a moving sidewalk with thousands of people passing out hot chocolates. I'd settle for a McDonald's walk up window too. Mostly bc I'll buy just about anything for $1 π. And their hot chocolate is never too hot. Or maybe it was just really cold tonight. Even after a 45 min train π ride home. No? πππ too much to ask π⁉️ I HAVE always been a dreamer πππ» #IMAGINE . I hope my fingers are thawed sometime tomorrow. My thighs too. Until then, I'll be huddled under my blanket and basking in the #cute little hugs and kisses my little kiddos gave me tonight under the lights all aglow πππ. Favorite line of the entire night: "I can't wait to just hug you and be together on #Christmas Day." -Brennan π So much like his daddy πππ #motherhood
because we can do anything for one week
'Cause we can do ANYTHING for one week ππππππ π». 7 more sleeps, and we can't hardly wait over here in this house π‘ full of believers! #pleasesanta #dearsanta#christmasiscoming#santapacksarecoming π #choochoo And Dean keeps yelling " #HOHOHO " π π» every time the train goes by. In heaven over here in little kid ππ π»πππ«π¬ #CHRISTMAS DREAMLAND!!! .
