• Anyone else feeling.... heavy? Anxious? Fearful? Depressed? Frustrated?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 2020 has been a LOT.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If you’re like me, this year has felt like our world has come crashing down & everything we once held dear seems sooo unattainable. Going to parties. Traveling. Being present at a family member’s birth. Going to the beach. I could go on.⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s been a lot.⁣⁣ And I KNOW I’m not the only one feeling it.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve had sooo many conversations this year where I’ve felt SO angry, upset, & frustrated. The amount of times I’ve expressed to close friends, “WHEN will life be normal again?” is honestly too many to count.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So if you’re feeling similarly anxious, fearful, over it, depressed, in a funk, or ANYTHING like that because your expectations of what this year was going to look like seem laughable now, I feel you. I’m right there with you. You’re NOT alone & I think it’s okay to mourn the loss of normalcy this year.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But I also wanna share with you what God has been sharing with me. Because while I do think it’s important to not push away what we’re feeling, I think it’s equally important to not live in that space day in and day out.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌿 “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌿 “My presence will go with you & I will give you rest.” - Exodus 33:14⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌿 “For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power & love & a sound mind.” - 2 Timothy 1:7⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌿 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer & petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts & your minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:6-7⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Yes our world is crazy right now. There’s so many unknowns, fears, & turmoil happening.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But God has already won the battle.⁣⁣ He’s already on the throne.⁣⁣ He promises peace to those who ask.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I keep coming back to this truth. God hasn’t gone anywhere. He’s right here, offering His hand to hold, to walk through the valley with us. All we gotta do is look up & take His hand.⁣ ⁣ No matter how you’re feeling I want you to know you’re not alone. How can I pray for you today?

  • “But I don’t live in Hawaii or anyplace epic! 😫 I can’t get good photos! 😖”⁣ ⁣ Well.... my friend. I raise you these.⁣ ⁣ My biz bestie @evierupp is visiting me for the next week for work, but Hawaii still has a 14 day quarantine in place for the islands. So she’s coming for 10 days, and literally cannot leave my house.⁣ ⁣ How’s that for irony? Come to Hawaii. Can’t see any of it. 🤪🤣⁣ ⁣ So we decided to make what we had work. No beach. No mountains. No epic scenery to make the images rad.⁣ ⁣ There was no advanced creative direction for these shots. Last minute we decided to grab some content photos before the sun went down, and we quickly headed to my backyard with a sheet & a bar stool. We rushed to put on some outfits that we liked and created these in 30 minutes.⁣ ⁣ Friend.... your location of where you live DOES NOT DEFINE YOUR CREATIVITY.⁣ ⁣ Stop using the Midwest fields as an excuse for why you can’t be a good photographer. And instead get out there, make what you have work, and get creative!! You CAN do it! 😘🌿✌🏼 #AtHomePhotoChallenge

  • FAMILY WEEKLY SCHEDULE TIP COMIN ATCHA. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼⁣ ⁣ We never used to plan our weeks out as a family.⁣ ⁣ I would plan my business work week, but as far as Andrew & I being on the same page about what our week looked like as a fam.... HA... nope.⁣ ⁣ We weren’t on the same page a lot of the time. Which would lead to unspoken expectations not being met (cause LOL we aren’t mind readers.) Which would lead to arguments. Which would lead to a week going by with no structure, no clear communication, & no vision for where we were headed as a family.⁣ ⁣ About a month ago we decided to change that.⁣ ⁣ We sat down and brain dumped on a sheet of paper all the descriptors of the kind of family we wanted to be.⁣ ⁣ Some of the adjectives were: adventurous, God focused, welcoming & hospitable, and outdoorsy.⁣ ⁣ Then we decided to make Sunday the day we sit down every week to plan out what each week would look like as a fam. To put goals down on paper that were votes for the people we want to be.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼Adventurous: Do at least one hike a week.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼God focused: making sure we wake up before Eloise to have quiet times in the Word.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼Welcoming & Hospitable: have friends over (or hangout) for dinner at least once a week.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼Outdoorsy: Go to the beach at least twice a week.⁣ ⁣ Every Sunday we review how the last week went, talk about what went good, what didn’t work, etc... And we set a plan for the next week.⁣ ⁣ We’ve been doing this for about a month now & it’s been SO life giving and rewarding for our fam. I think us entrepreneurs are more inclined to plan our work weeks, but we so often forget to to plan & communicate as a family - even scheduling in the fun life things. And wowwwww I cannot recommend doing that enough. 🤯🙌🏻🎉⁣ ⁣ Did anyone find this tip helpful? Does anyone do something similar with your family?? #RomanAround⁣
