I can honestly say this place is truly magical. @timbercreekcabinwa what an honor to have stayed, explored and played here for the last few days! I wish we never had to leave. I can’t wait to bring all my family back here in the near future to enjoy this beautiful place. I’ll be sharing SO many pictures in the next week (or more!!) to keep the magic alive 🥰✨ #explorewashington #explorewashingtonstate #washington #upperleftusa #life_in_the_evergreens2021🌲 #getaway #serene #peacefulmoments https://www.instagram.com/p/CR0kDlUgFiZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ll forever be in awe of where we live and our gorgeous golden hour. What a blessing to have a home of our own this season. In other news, if anyone local wants to shoot golden hour photos (family, pups, headshots, kiddos etc) just let me know! I’d love to make use of this cooler weather and gorgeous light for people! 🥰 #goldenhour #unedited #naturalbeauty #grateful #home #photoshoot (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ1ohlWAJ5P/?utm_medium=tumblr

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday a few weeks ago! But also a thank you to everyone who has helped me get to see my 30s.       They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a tribe to get through life. And my close knit circle of people have pulled hard for me throughout the years, in ways I can never repay.      I’m so grateful to be seeing these next years and to be rid of my twenties.    I stumbled on a journal/scribbling page from probably six years ago, it had goals that seemed unachievable when I sat in my depression, debt I’d gotten myself into, and just overwhelm. Looking back now, I just want to say I’ve achieved so many of those dreams, surpassed those seemly unreachable accomplishments and am still here today.    I just want to say keep going, because things DO get better and there is too much life to be lived to toss it away. 💕      Best things I’ve learned this past year:   - You’re worth the effort. Work on yourself and you’ll watch other areas of life align.   - Life will never be perfect, so just enjoy it instead.   - Figure out what makes you happy and make sure you do one of those things daily or weekly depending on how big.   - Phones and technology suck the life out of you. Put it down and go cuddle your dog, cat or human instead.    - Small adventures can mean the most.    - Go for a walk. Just do it.   - Listen to those around you without distraction. It’s difficult but worth the effort.   - Go for the dreams that set your soul on fire.       Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk 😂  #life_in_the_evergreens2021🌲 #thirtyflirtyandthriving #stillhere #ittakesatribe #pnw #washingtonstate #yearlylifelessons #dirtythirty  https://www.instagram.com/p/CQCU905Acif/?utm_medium=tumblr

We’ve been so busy over here! Between home renovations, a new job, and a camper van overhaul we’ve just been going like CRAZY! It’s nice to take time away from projects though and just get outside, even if it’s just a short walk or hike. Living life through this screen is getting a bit redundant and monotonous if I’m being honest, but I know it has its place too. However busy you are today, don’t be afraid to try something new, take time for yourself or just soak in a bit of Mother Nature! Get out and explore, we’ve only got this one life to live...don’t spend it being miserable 💕 #bangsblitz #bangsambassador #bangsshoes #lifeupdate #onelifetolive #takeeveryopportunity #explore (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/COIw9yPAK5b/?igshid=1q7f0c62rulex

This may not be my “true” home town but it’s where I’ve created home in the truest sense. It’s where I’ve fallen deeply in love, with the landscape, my loved ones and myself. What a place to explore on this crazy journey of life. So grateful for this hometown view of mine. #bangsblitz #bangsshoes #bangsambassador #crazylittlethingcalledlife #hometownviews #spring https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvtCoYAkAK/?igshid=a87e2363fqf4

Yesterday was international Women’s Day, and honestly I didn’t want to post this picture. Because it wasn’t the gorgeous pictures that I saw other women posting, there’s no lipstick and beautiful clothes here on this day, and it wasn’t me feeling strong or even myself. I’ve worked my ass off the past several months to get back to where and who I am, and on this particular day I didn’t feel any of that. But I’m posting it, because I want you to know it’s ok to have hard days, it’s ok to be finding your direction, it’s ok to have days you just say “WTF?” and work for a better tomorrow. It’s ok to not be picture perfect and what people expect you to be. This may not have been an ideal day, but I’m proud of the voice I’ve rediscovered and the steps I’m taking to fight for myself. I’m so proud of the ladies I know, whether you’re feeling picture perfect or not, whether your days have been difficult and less than perfect or they’ve been thriving and wonderful. You’re a power house, and don’t you ever forget that. ✌🏼 #womensday2021 #findyourpower #gooddaysandbaddays #keepingitreal #worththefight #purposeoverperfection #life_in_the_evergreens2021🌲 https://www.instagram.com/p/CMOZ6c8AOj-/?igshid=1odr4gre96c3h

  My favorite things aren’t necessarily things but moments these days. Mornings spent with my first soul mate, my soul sister, make me the happiest; her love and joy fills my world.     Wedding planning, loving life, embracing the new and unknown, embracing my core values, honoring myself, and settling into this beautiful life that I’ve been blessed with; these are the moments I cherish. I’ve been doing the hard work, looking at myself in new and uncomfortable ways...and suddenly I am one of my favorite things. 💕    #blitzday #bangsblitz #bangsambassador #favoritethings #blacklab #love #growth #embracenewmoments #lifecoaching #dothework #embraceyourwild https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmtXgTAVP9/?igshid=1m1pyw7ew9gwt

It’s a late post, mainly because I don’t love Valentine’s Day... but I do love my Valentines! 💕 Grateful for a beautiful day celebrating love in this lifetime. So thankful for our honest, goofy, and beautiful love. Laughing everyday with you is my absolute favorite, I’m so glad you’re stuck as my hunk forever 😜.

It’s this mans birthday today!     Words can’t even express how much this guy means to me, but I sure as hell am gonna try!          Whether we are chilling or going on a new adventure a day is never dull or boring with you. I’m so happy to get to call you my forever morning coffee companion, hiking and camping buddy, my third dirtbag, and my “expert” cider taster. I’m so glad I get to look forward to a lifetime of laughs before bed with you and walking through life’s new and old territories together. You make everyday better by being in it; I’ve learned so much from you and your daily genuineness, good humor and honesty. Watching you become the man you are today has been an honor and a privilege, one that I don’t take lightly.       So here’s to more snowball fights and snowmen, Stehekin summers, riverside days, frustrating DIY projects, more snuggles with Riley, new fishing spots and many more adventures!           Happy Birthday Babe! 😘    #happybirthday #myman #betterwithtime #thatswhatIappreciatesaboutyou #love #threedirtbags #happy #family #life_in_the_evergreens2021🌲 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKrceZBAIM3/?igshid=15r925rq0o44p

  Happy birthday to my amazing sister!   From being my best (and only friend) growing up, to walking through life’s celebrations and hardships. Crying together, laughing together, dreaming together; I can honestly say there’s no one else I’d want to have the title of my sister. You’ve loved me, learned with me, taught me and challenged me. I’ve loved growing up (and now old!) next to you. Thanks for always looking out for us.  I hope you know we’re looking out for you.    I hope you’ve had the best day possible, and that I can see you soon!!!

One of them being screen time and social media    I haven’t watched the Social Dilemma, and no I don’t like Instagrams new terms. But it’s more about living 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 and in the moment, about less comparison and more joy. About living my life with my tribe while I have them and making memories while we can.     I’ve decided to not delete my account for now. But I am setting parameters for apps, 45min a day to start with. I might go up, might go down. But I’m not happy with the life-time lost to my screen right now.     I’m not asking for applause, or for you to do the same; I’m not posting this to be dramatic. I’m just tired of my time being so divided, feeling so unlike myself and feeling so overwhelmed and drained all the time.    I’m still selling Monat, I’ll still let you know about sales. I’ll keep track of progress on the house and make sure to keep anyone updated on those projects. I’m still here, just limiting social media’s power and control on my life. Love you all.

Happy New Year!    I could write a long post about new beginnings, brighter futures, New Years resolutions blah blah blah... but honestly I’m just sitting here so damn grateful at the close of 2020.    It wasn’t a smooth year, and I in no way discount the hard year it’s been. But I’ve watched some beautiful things happen this year too. I’ve never gone into a new year so incredibly thankful for the one I’m leaving behind. And honestly, that’s what I’m taking with me into 2021. Immense gratitude.    So thank you 2020, I’ll never forget you.     #dailygratitude #joyinthejourney #2020notallbad #wedidit #life_in_the_evergreens2020🌲 #awildride #winterwonderland❄️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfhSPjgaba/?igshid=1gyean89flpuu
