CHANGE

Being involved in social selling can be hard at times. It truly takes a lot of faith, bravery, boldness and personal growth for people to not give up πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ’• #nevergiveup . Most people are ok with starting an #etsy shop or other type of business, but not willing to partner with a social selling company that has profit sharing built in with little start up. πŸ€”Soooooo...why? Why did I put myself through some of that?!! Because....
it only takes ONE person, who's life you truly CHANGE, to make it all worth it, and you stop caring about what other people think and focus on changing lives πŸ™ŒπŸ» .... what if what I say is true?? I'll tell you the hardest part of my job is seeing people complain about not having money, not being able to take a real vacation, moms complaining about no energy, being sick etc etc...but are not willing to give Plexus a try! 😩 I'm over here like πŸ™‹hello!!!! I know I can help you! #whatifplexuscouldchangeeverything - it has for us and many on my team!!!!

i wanna be dean

BABY DEAN! BABY DEAN! BABY DEAN!!! 

This cutie pie is 19 mo old today πŸ‘ΆπŸΌπŸ’™! He hates being weighed, measured, or walking into the pediatrician's office πŸ˜‚, 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 πŸ˜‚), 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 🌴 water, and eats abooooooout twenty pounds of food a day. His best dance move is the worm πŸ›, 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 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. 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 πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ’™πŸ‘ΆπŸΌπŸ˜. Happy Friday the 13th πŸŽ‰ 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 πŸŒ΄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 πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ». 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 KNEWπŸ˜‚. 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 πŸ™ŒπŸ».

the look on my face when it's bedtime.

The look on my face when it's #bedtime πŸ˜πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ’€‼️ I #LOVE πŸ’•πŸŽ„ that sleep works πŸ˜΄πŸ’€. 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 πŸπŸŒœ , 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 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­ #didallthekidssleepthroughthenight ⁉️ (except when they DO wake me up of course πŸ˜‚, but NOW I can fall back asleep right away, even if it's after 4am πŸ˜‚. 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 😳😹) ?! What's better is waking up RESTED, alert, and ready for my day. 99.9% of the time‼️Hey, even #Santa πŸŽ…πŸ»πŸŽ„ #oldsaintnick doesn't have a perfect track record 😜. Sleep πŸ˜΄πŸ’€ 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" 😜. 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 πŸŽ„ on temple square πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ˜ #lighttheworld ❗️it usually takes me about 5 more years to decide to #brave the crowds again after that πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. Also to thaw from it ❄️πŸ”₯πŸ™ŒπŸ». Here's what I want to know though. Can we not figure out a way to have a hot chocolate 🍫☕️ truck πŸš› parked somewhere INSIDE of temple square πŸ˜‚? 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 πŸ˜‚. And their hot chocolate is never too hot. Or maybe it was just really cold tonight. Even after a 45 min train πŸš‚ ride home. No? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ too much to ask πŸ˜‚⁉️ I HAVE always been a dreamer πŸ˜œπŸ‘πŸ» #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 😍😍😍. Favorite line of the entire night: "I can't wait to just hug you and be together on #Christmas Day." -Brennan πŸŽ„ So much like his daddy πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™ #motherhood

because we can do anything for one week

'Cause we can do ANYTHING for one week πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸŽ„πŸš‚πŸŽ…πŸ». 7 more sleeps, and we can't hardly wait over here in this house 🏑 full of believers! #pleasesanta #dearsanta#christmasiscoming#santapacksarecoming πŸ˜‚ #choochoo And Dean keeps yelling " #HOHOHO " πŸŽ…πŸ» every time the train goes by. In heaven over here in little kid πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ»πŸš‚πŸ­πŸ«πŸ¬ #CHRISTMAS DREAMLAND!!! .
