Trip to Lake Powell + WMNutrition Discount

Fashion· Nordstrom· Shop

12 Jul

 

Striped one piece swimming suit: Amazon (only $16.99!!) | Bow hat: Nordstrom, similar here | Red dress cover up: Nordstrom (40% off + comes in navy too!) | Black swimming suit top: Kortni Jeane| Black swimming suit bottoms: Kortni Jeane | Striped peach swimming suit top: Kortni Jeane | Striped peach swimming suit bottoms: Kortni Jeane

We had a great time at Lake Powell; it was Harris and Goldie’s first time! They came last year with us but they were fit snugly in my belly and made it pretty miserable for their mama 😉 I basically just slept a lot and sat a lot, very uncomfortably, the whole time. This year was a lot more fun! I was hesitant because I knew there wouldn’t be a lot of space to sleep on the houseboat, but we made it work. I put their pack n’ plays right next to each other in our little cubby room and I laid at the bottom of the bed with the small space left and my legs couldn’t stretch all the way out. Ha! I”m glad to be home in my own bed but I’m glad we were able to have fun bonding time with family.

As we were driving down, Tyler said, “Okay, I can’t hold it in any longer. I have a surprise for you and the twins.” He got us a GIANT rubber ducky from Costco to float on because he knows how much the twins love their little rubber duckies at home in the bath! It made me so happy.

If you notice a scratch on Harris’ face in some of these photos, it’s because my niece’s friend was holding him and lifted him too high and he hit his head on the low ceiling fan!! Oh my goodness. I felt horrible. Luckily it missed his eye!

While the twins were napping, Tyler’s mom listened for them on the baby monitor so we were able to go out and go surfing on the boat. I hadn’t gone for 2 years so it was really fun to get out again! I love it because when you fall, it doesn’t hurt and it’s low impact. I can’t say the same for skiing or wakeboarding.

You better believe I took my WM Nutrition with me! Like I’ve said before, I love the blueberry protein because it’s so easy to take anywhere with the individual packets that it comes in. I liked sipping on the Advantraslim during the day because it curbs cravings and it’s SO EASY to eat a lot while you’re on vacation and sitting around the houseboat. It helped a lot! You can read more about why I love it so much here. Use code Jenica40 to get 40% off their site!!

It’s good to be back in the swing of things! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts TOMORROW!! Make sure to check back here for the best ways to navigate the sale + what sells out the fastes tomorrow. I’m going shopping and will make sure to help you pick out the best deals!

    Your family is seriously one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen!!! *Crying emoji* I feel like in 10 years I’m going to see Goldie or Harris and say “HEY!” like we’re old friends but they will just give me a blank stare and start inching backwards. Hahaha. Thanks for sharing, your life is serious #goals status. Xoxo!

      Sorry about that; I forgot I hadn’t linked it! I posted it on my Instagram a couple months ago. I’m holding my little boy. I love that suit!

Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a m Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a mom to twins and now mom to 3! Why I love it:

🤍 The car seat and stroller seat rotates so it makes it a great place for baby on walks and other places like restaurants because I can face him where I need to! He can be facing towards me as I’m seated or avoid sun in his face on walks!

🤍 I love that the car seat pops directly into the stroller base. If he’s sleeping I don’t have to wake him up and it makes going ANYWHERE so much easier and gives me so much less anxiety when I take my crew out and about 😅🤍

Let me know if you have questions! #orbitbaby #sponsored #newbaby #momhacks #momlife #stroller #travelsystem

Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary talk to speak in church what his favorite part of church was, and he answered honestly:

“The treat at the end.”

I laughed and laughed, and I also realized that this truth spoken from his mouth was spot on.

I pray, and I write and I listen and I study because in those moments is when I can hear Him.

I see Him in truth everywhere. He is in all things. His lessons are gently whispering in the textures, the smells, and the relationships I give my energy to.

I put forth effort by my small acts of showing up and telling Him I’m listening and His spirit is the “treat at the end.” And during. And before - even when I sometimes don’t notice it quite yet.

🤍🤍🤍 Happy Sabbath my beautiful friends!!! His knows you by name. He sees you and hears you and ADORES what He created - you. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 5/21/23 #sundaybest

After giving birth to the twins I was shaking unco After giving birth to the twins I was shaking uncontrollably and it was really painful. She laid on me and her weight helped calm my body.

What a beautiful metaphor. Her presence is what I’ve always needed. Her influence carries weight.

She doesn’t need or want the spotlight (at ALL - sorry for the feature mom but I just think the world needs to know why you are INCREDIBLE!) 🤍

My favorite thing about her is the things she doesn’t say. She never feels bad for me even when I’m really struggling because that’s not what I need. Her confidence in me that I’ve got this…whatever “this” is…has been the single most impactful thing that has helped me to fly.

She always has the BEST advice, though, when I ask for it. The best. She soothes my heart in ways that are hard to put into words.

I really, really try to be the mama to my kids that she is to me.

Mothers need to be celebrated from the rooftops!! Sacrifice. Unconditional love. The gift we all need.

I love you, mama!! And I salute all the mamas out there that are showing UP. Imperfectly. And doing it.

To all my ladies experiencing infertility - I see you, sis. Today is a different day for you. Today is a reminder of what you don’t have and would do anything for. It’s okay to be sad and not like today. I see you and love you 🤍

To all the ladies who are missing your mamas or who wish you had a mama that showed up for you like you needed, I see you too, sis. 🤍

(ps I have no idea how the photo of my placenta from Warner’s birth ended up in this slideshow 🤣💀🤣 but I can’t edit it out now ha ha ha. A woman’s body is INCREDIBLE. Maybe it was supposed to be in there. To remind us of what God made. Our bodies create LIFE. How beautiful is that?! So the placenta pic stays 🤣)

Debriefing the day 🥹 When I see moments like th Debriefing the day 🥹 When I see moments like this, I can’t believe he almost didn’t exist. He almost didn’t join our family! Infertility and a really hard pregnancy, premature birth, NICU time with a long recovery from preeclampsia and THEN Epstein Barr for several years led me to think, “LET’S NOT DO THAT AGAIN!” 😅 You can’t know what it’s like until you experience infertility. And even then - our own circumstances are so different! Lots of trauma and lots of lows.

And then HIM. 😍

The depths of the pain led to the most exquisite JOY! Can’t have one without the other although I’d opt for the “no pain, please” option if I could 😅 But life doesn’t work like that and humans are capable of and designed to experiencing both in our moral existence. And it’s really all quite incredible how resilient we are.

You’re resilient too, even when you feel broken. @fearless.infertility 🤍🫶🏼 #infertility #ivfsuccess #ivfjourney #infertilitycommunity
