Had a blast with the family on our first family ski day taking the all four of the children down the slopes. Not going to lie its a lot of work. One day we are going to easily all go down the slopes, but until then well be making the fondest of memories and laughing all the way.
*sometimes I wonder what my children are going to think of us as parents when they look back on these pictures? My parents were nuts? Or if they’ll follow in our footsteps?

Yesterday I did something I hadn’t done in 5 years! I now am a member to a gym! My children call it a hotel, because of the day care, cafe and pool lol. Two years ago yesterday my husband lost his mother, so he got a day to himself, which he took mountainside, naturally. It really is such a hard day, and still stings like a bee.
Turned lemons into lemonade and I feel very confident joining the gym will be the best thing to do for our family.
Had fun looking back at old posts from 5 years pasts when I last was a member at this gym with baby Hudson and 7 months pregnant with Holland. Its gone by so fast.

I’ve partnered with Renew Life to create this post! Enjoy!
This summer, well every summer for the last 5 summers, it has taken “guts” to wear a swimsuit, as I am always having summer babies, and this summer is no different. I recently had my 4th baby a couple weeks ago. Questions like when is the new baby coming? And is it a boy or girl? Happens every single time we go swimming from the mouth of my babes. I recently found out there were safe ways to battle the bloat and look and feel my best in a swimsuit this summer. I started by priming my body this swimsuit season with an herbal cleanse from Renew Life® to help me immediately feel better, lighter and more energized.
Renew Life® Herbal Cleanses promote regularity and support the body’s natural detoxification process. I plan on maintaining that good feeling all summer by taking a daily probiotic like Renew Life® Ultimate Flora Probiotics to help keep occasional bloating at bay and my gut in check.
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy while keeping you “regular.”
I thought the little extra bloat was just “baby weight” I was holding onto but thanks to my daily & nightly dose of probiotics, I have learned it wasn’t just baby weight. It has been so refreshing eliminating extra waste I have been holding on to. In just 3 days I noticed a huge difference, mostly in my tummy area.
I have also noticed a huge difference in my skin. My face has been so smooth & clear, an extra added benefit that I wasn’t expecting to happen.
So how it works: for three days you take 2 pills in the morning and 2 more pills in the evening. It starts working instantly. The 3-Day Cleanse Total-Body Reset capsules work with your body’s natural metabolism to help eliminate waste and toxins and are a quick and simple way to help reduce occasional bloating and water retention. My skin felt clearer, and my belly felt flatter. Overall, I felt like I had a lot more energy.
I want all of you to be your “best self” and have the “guts” to tackle whatever lies ahead for you this summer. Renew Life 3-Day Cleanse Total-Body Reset would be a great companion to take with you on all your summer trips and adventures, to help you stay regular and swimsuit-ready all throughout your trip.
