Do you meal prep? For you, for the kids, for the whole family? What tips do you have? Favorite recipes? Especially for lunches/snacks? I used to meal plan really great, every Sunday was my prep day. I want to get back to that. 🧡🧡🧡 #mealprep #mealprepping #snacktray #lunchideas #healthyfoodideas #eattherainbow🌈 #prepday #momhacks #mealhacks #simplifylife (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVsuder5g2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've always thought this was perfection. Love is simplicity. Noticing.

Headed out for Sunday Funday shenanigans. 😘😘😘 The wild child's dad is taking her to the mall, so a free afternoon for me. Not enough sunshine to tan on the patio (which is good, lol, since I'm sunburned!) So I'm gonna run around town causing trouble instead. Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday, and ends the weekend beautifully. 🧡 #sundayfunday #happyvibes #makelifebeautiful #makeyourownmagic #chronicallyill #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #beyourownhero #beYOUtiful (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_qDEvsUam/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my favorite Irish quotes: "Here’s to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold pint and another one!" 🍀 Today was the most lovely day I've had in forever. Spent the afternoon reading on the patio - started and finished an entire book today! Murder, Mississippi River bayou, bit of magic and mystery, so good. That's my 3rd book I've finished this week. Huge nerd, 🤓 Then kitchen dance party with the wild child. Music loud, singing even louder, I hope the neighbors like Olivia Rodrigo, lol. She baked brownies to top with mint chip ice cream, I cooked potatoes and pork chops. 💚 Now, she's leading some epic online Dungeons and Dragons shenanigans, and I'm taking a bath with the biggest bubbles. Tomorrow the wild one's dad takes her to the salon - she's going shorter and dying her hair blue and is *ecstatic* we finally allowed her hair to match her personality, lol. Then Sunday she has a mall date with friends from musical theater for lunch and chaos. You have no idea how happy my heart is to see her happy for a minute. 💙💙💙 Cheers to the weekend! If you're out, drink 3 green beers and eleventy seven whiskey shots for me. 😘 #stpatricksday #shenanigans #bubblebaths #sunshinevibes #bookishgirl #readinginthesun #booksarelife #booksaremagic #momlife #singlemomlife #beautifullife❤️ #makelifebeautiful #littlethings #everydaylife #whatimreading (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6ulg5sMut/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I want to be this for my kiddo. Lotus is 12 years old, 7th grade, and those tween years hit hard, man. But I also want to be this for everyone I care about. Friends, family, relationships. I know this is what I need, so very much. If I have a partner in life, this is the vibe I want to receive. I'm a simple girl, but my life can be difficult: single motherhood + chronic illnesses/pain = some real struggles. So I try to be what it is I want to have: A shoulder to lean on when life is heavy//an ear to listen where secrets are safe//a place where you can take your armor off and breathe fully, and be loved. Easy breezy peace. ✌️🖤🌙 #loveyourselffirst #lovealways #livepassionately #lovelylove #loveismagic #loveagain #makelifebeautiful #bethegood #lovelikethis #danethomasquotes #quoteslover #wordsaremagic #feelslikehome https://www.instagram.com/p/CpmNbrzs4pN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"If you walk on sunlight, bathe in moonlight, breathe in a golden air and exhale a Midas' touch; mark my words, those who exist in the shadows will try to pull you into the darkness with them. The last thing that they want is for you to see the wonder of your life because they can't see theirs." --- C. JoyBell C. Life is hard. Chronic illness is hard. Flare ups are hard. Love is hard. But...it's a beautiful life anyway, if you decide to make it that way. #cjoybellc #quoteslover #wordsaremagic #cjoybellcquote #wordsarepowerful #spoonieselfie #spoonies #chronicallyill #chronicillness #livepassionately #liveyourbestlife #makelifebeautiful #makeyourownmagic #inspiration (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkoJ2suZno/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

But seriously if any of my many drs told me they were alarmed by my imaging due to finding a *skeleton* inside my body -- I wouldn't be shocked. I'd do one of those The Office style looks at the imaginary camera of life, lol.

"Wild woman are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves yet give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet. If you have met one, hold on to her, she'll allow you into her chaos but she'll also show you her magic." -- Nikki Rowe. Embracing my wild. Accepting that I can't know everything. Learning to breathe, let go, trust the Universe. Because all the illnesses are flared af, had an ambulance ride and an ER last week, my face is puffy as heck from inflammation and meds, I'm exhausted -- and frustrated, because drs never treat #chronicillness patients right. Sigh.

Goals. Books are my absolute favorite type of magic, and I truly feel my life wouldn't be the same if I hadn't read all the books I've read.

Oh, this gets my heart tonight. "In the times I had been struggling, I still held space for those who needed me." --- absolutely this. I am trying so hard to learn to be more careful with who I allow close. Because I'm a GIVER, my dudes. I'll drain myself dry for those I love. There will never, ever, EVER be a time that I'm too busy or have too much on my plate and let that = neglecting my people. I will *never* be too busy, if I love you. I'll find a way, whether it's my time, my energy, my hugs, or just my ear to listen. My relationships are intentional//not transactional. I don't care about what I can get out of you. I don't care if you're asking too much. If I choose you//I *got* you. I remind my child of this all the time -- it doesn't matter how much she needs from me. It might be a lot, but it will never be too much. That's how love works, man. 🖤 But, that's WHY I'm trying to learn to be better at being intentional with who I allow in my zone. I know I'm a fiercely loyal little momma bear type: family, friends, relationships. Once you're in, I got you. So, I have to be careful who I let in, in the first place. I seem to struggle with that. Trying to remember that: all people can be good people. But that doesn't mean they're safe people. Red flags can feel like butterflies when all you've ever known is chaos, energy vampires can be stealthy until it's too late, and - maybe some people just change their minds, and stop being who you thought. It's ok to cut those ties too. Because there's nothing more lonely than being alone with someone else. No one else out here is gonna protect me, like me. Good thing I heckin' love me. ❤️ #samiravivette #poetryofig #wordsaremagic #wordsarepowerful #writerslife #lovelikethemoon #lovelylove #loveagain #loveanyway #lovealways #lonelynights #lonelyheart #datingafter40 #datingishard #singlemomproblems #singlemomlife #findingmyself #findinglove #loveyourselffirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJ6XKkOFIW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
