Starting my Sunday workday off right with some MCT oil & overnight oats. They say you need about “500 extra calories” during your third trimester. While I’m not into counting that stuff I know I have been way hungrier this month. To combat that hunger I’ve intentionally added more fats to every meal in the form of MCT oil, nuts, olives...that kinda thing. I’ve also reduced my carb intake a little so my insulin spikes less and I don’t burn through all my meals as quickly. Overnight oats recipe: -1/4 c gf oats 1/2 cup almond milk -yogurt of choice -chia seeds -1 tbsp nut butter of choice 1/2 c blueberries Jar it.fridge it overnight & eat it!

A little flash back Friday. How was this 2 years ago? I’m still in mourning over the loss of all those thigh rolls. When Scout was about 4 months old I put him in a little onesie and the next day I had to literally cut him out of it bc he somehow got chubbier over night and the sleeves were cutting off his circulation 😳😂 who else thinks there needs to be a “plus size” line for baby clothes 🙋🏼‍♀️ I mean he couldn’t wear pants or socks bc they were all too tight

I’m converting this page into a fashion blog that basically only features this yellow beanie & black compression tights in every photo. If you couldn’t tell by now.... 😂 2 things: -I weighed today and Josiah and I are officially scale twins. It’s nice being able to share clothes with your spouse when you’re not expecting though so it’s a win in my book. Sometimes he gives me clothes bc he says I “stretch them out” 🤷‍♀️Raise your hand if this is also your life 🙋🏼‍♀️😂 - I’m officially over being pregnant. I’m ready to sleep on my face/back whatever and have an adult beverage & 12 cups of coffee.

“Leadership isn’t about being the best, it’s about making everyone else better.” If anyone knows my spouse they know he’s a really hard worker and always a team player. It’s not uncommon for him to work 7 days a week and somehow still volunteer or help other people out. He works hard not only because it’s part of his character but I’ve actually heard him say he wants to make sure his supervisors look good and he wants to do his best for them. If the work isn’t perfect he re-does it, zero complaints. So he’ll show up early or stay late if that’s what it means. Sometimes leadership is just the quiet decisions we make daily to do our best, sacrifice our time and energy to elevate others and put their needs above our comfort.

When you name your child... you really hope that it fits or that they grow into it. I mean haven’t you met someone and been like “that name is soooo not them!” I don’t know how but Scout is the most “Scouty” of all the Scouts. It just fits all the silliness and his fiery, adventurous spirit. I can’t wait to see how “Arie” Arie is 🧐 Does this post make sense to anyone else? 😂 now I’m debating if I look like a Lacy...

I want to share a little story with you guys. Shortly after Josiah and I started dating he spontaneously showed up at my apartment late at night and asked me to come outside. I had just taken a shower, removed my make up...put on the most hideous sweat pants I owned and literally had Christmas socks on my freshly lotioned hands. It was a moment where I had to decide if I was going to let insecurity take over and try to throw myself together or if I was just going to own it and be vulnerable. I chose to answer the door in the full glory of my giant sweats...wet hair...freckle faced, blemished self (I even left the socks on my hands) and to my surprise Josiah thought it awesome. We still crack up about it. He still found me beautiful. Until my early 20’s I had severely low self esteem. I was extremely insecure, phased in and out of depression and looked for validation in all the wrong places and people. My world didn’t start to change until I decided that I was worth the effort. It was worth choosing to love and care for myself. It started with daily exercise and eating healthier but it’s been so much more. I’m more confident, secure and content at almost 30 than I’ve ever been. I don’t need make up to feel pretty or look someone in the eye. I regularly rock the ugly sweat pants and love it. It’s all because I decided I’m worth caring about and I was done with all my excuses. I had excuses for all my choices or lack there of. Choosing to take care of myself in addition to finding my life in Christ has freed me from the addiction of needing others approval...it helped me quit drinking, doing drugs and it’s given me a new life that I enjoy without being trapped in shame. I know so many women that need to hear and believe that they are WORTH it. You are worth it. You have immense value. You are beautiful, unique and have unlimited potential. Whatever is holding you back today doesn’t have to tomorrow.
