By Chelsea on Friday, May 1, 2020

The hardest and most rewarding job 🤍✨ The mos The hardest and most rewarding job 🤍✨ The most recent mind shift I’ve been working on is seeing “being lost in motherhood” as a wonderful thing. Their childhood is a magical time and I don’t want to miss it. I want to lean in and connect with my kids through my inner child. To loose myself in motherhood is to prioritize this time in life that they are little. To see the world through their eyes. To have days filled with ah and wonder. I don’t see the making of a magical childhood as a burden. I see it as a gift.
.
I also don’t feel the need to hide my struggles. Being a mom is hard. Being an adult is hard. Being a child is hard. Being a human is hard. It’s okay if we can’t make magic everyday. It’s okay, because, life is made up of the little moments in between… and how we move through those moments is what makes up a lifetime together. There is so much opportunity in the between and there’s real magic found there too.
.
There isn’t a need to create magic everyday, there’s a need to make space for it. To lesson the load so there are more moments of between. To get outside, to foster curiosity and imagination. To welcome adventure and failure. When we try too hard to manufacture the magic of childhood, the real magic is lost.
.
So, breathe and set your wings down, dance to your favorite song, and let them just see you. YOU, as you are, perfectly imperfect, are the very best mother for your children. You can create the best version of childhood and motherhood for you. đź§š

My Happiness 🤍✨ It’s with them. Getting to My Happiness 🤍✨ It’s with them.
Getting to see the world through their eyes
Being their safe place
Being their home
Being loved by them
Living intentionally every day to enjoy their company
Living slowly so we don’t rush through life missing the little wonders, the little moments…
It’s in those little moments the magic happens.
Everyday and anywhere with them is Happiness.
.
But, there’s something I want you to know. It doesn’t come easy. I didn’t just choose this life, I worked really hard for it. It comes when you’re ready to go against the common ways of our society, making a home life that fits your family’s lifestyle, whatever that may be. It comes with many tests of patience. It’s only possible when you commit to breaking the cycles of generational trauma. It’s really hard to be triggered daily by you’re children, but they’re here to teach you. I’ve gone through many cycles of unlearning and reparenting my inner child to get here, and I have many more lessons and challenges ahead. I’ve danced with my shadow and looked my ego in the eye and given them grace and forgiveness for all the ways they protected me. I’ve practiced mindfulness and nervous system resets. The work is hard, but it’s worth every moment of happiness with them. Building a life founded in happiness FOR THEM. So when I share my joys of motherhood, know, I still struggle, it’s still hard, but the happy is truly abundant.

A year later I received the ping that would send my life down an unexpected path. When homeschooling was introduced into my consciousness I was taken by surprise. It wasn’t until I attracted some homeschool connections, people I admire and felt in alignment with, that I felt compelled to go take a good look at the list to see if homeschooling was something that aligned with my authentic code. The moment I turned the page in my journal I became certain homeschooling was the answer to MY most aligned life.  The Universe really will deliver beyond your dreams if you’re willing to take the necessary aligned actions. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it. I’m so in love with my life that I’ve been hiding away. I can’t stay away any longer. I want others to see the life they can co-create with Spirit. I want others to feel the bliss of living as their highest self. I want others to know that it’s not just happy thoughts- it’s doing WORK and being rewarded for breaking cycles and bonds.

Happy Christmas & Merry Everything, from our famil Happy Christmas & Merry Everything, from our family to yours. 🎄🤍✨

I’ve been sick and only able to do the bare minimum the past few days. We still had a magical morning, slow and cozy. Ordered pizza for Christmas Eve dinner and had cereal and bacon (made by @e.padgett) for Christmas breakfast. Just a reminder to myself of the things that really make this time of year special and how important it is to make your own traditions and do what’s right for your family. If you were able to go all out for your family, I hope it’s because you find your joy in the making. Some years I do and some years I don’t, and that’s okay. No matter what mode I’m in, I always enjoy my day, and so do the kids. #christmasmagic
A friendly Friday dance party to remind you, We’ A friendly Friday dance party to remind you, We’re gonna be FINE! So fine. Ain’t no doubt about it… That Full moon was intense in our house, Eek! Lots of tears and high emotions on little sleep, the kids and me. We made it… and we’re gonna be fine!

The kids have been all about the Zombies 3 soundtrack lately… not gonna lie, this song is kinda fire 🔥

Sometimes, what you gotta do isn’t what you thin Sometimes, what you gotta do isn’t what you think…. and you have the option of pulling on your big girl pants and doing it, or staying on the wondering path.
.
Part of knowing what way to go is trust. I’ve been actively strengthening my trust muscle and intuition for 3 years. If I hadn’t, I may not have heard the ping (message from Spirit/Universe) to homeschool my kids. It’s not the first time I’ve gotten this message either, but it’s the first time I didn’t allow the global community to influence my decisions.
.
It’s been a big shift in our lives, one I was not prepared for but one that is absolutely best for my family. I have no idea what I’m doing. Still trying to figure it out and make our house work in flow, all while juggling my mental and physical health.
.
My big girl pants are all the way on. My intuition is tuned in. My trust is always there when I’m sinking in doubt or frustration. If you want to tune into the messages and guidance your spirit guides, loved ones, and past & future selves have for you, try these simple exercises…
.
Pay attention! That little nagging feeling that you should reach out and confirm a play date or meeting- trust it! This is one of my biggest tests I fail often because I don’t want to bother people. It always ends up in waisted time, my biggest pet peeve. When you hear something that can be easily dismissed as anxiety, pause and feel it in your body. Fear and knowing will live in different parts of the body and you have to figure what parts those are for you. Anxiety lives in my gut, and pings are in my mind only… like a ding of a bell or thought cloud passing by.
.
Another great trust builder is to manifest something little and silly. I love to manifest cupcakes or free coffee! They bring me joy and are usually gifted from gratitude or celebration. It can be ANYTHING unique to you to know the Universe is watching. You can even ask for a sign, Watch! You ask for frogs, and the frogs will lead you where you need to go!
.
Do you have any small manifestations or trust practices you use? #manifestmagic #trustyourintuition
If you don’t want to be judged for your politica If you don’t want to be judged for your political beliefs, you’re voting for the the wrong politicians. I’m proud to stand for my beliefs and give a voice to those who cannot uplift themselves. I will always choose the path that is love for all. 🤍✨ #votelikeamother You can label me whatever you want, I wear them proudly. Our leadership isn’t always perfect, I don’t always agree with them, but in a situation where I have to choose, I chose the greater good, and do so with pride and knowing that we WILL change this world for the better. #chooselove
