When you see @benwincklerphotography and I hanging out you KNOW there is some serious 🎥 📸 magic happening 💥
We have an exciting project coming out in early December, and today was the perfect day to get some hiking 🥾 footage 👏
And because I was already up on the mountain 🏔 I took advantage of the fabulous Fall weather and hit the trail for a solo hike.
It’d be easy for a girl like me to get used to this kinda life…🥰

Well…we were super responsible and made lunches last night (at the request of the Cowkids) we just forgot them in the fridge this morning. 😆
I’m still going to give myself ⭐️⭐️ out of 5 stars 🙌
I’ll get the hang of this morning routine soon 😬💁🏻♀️

I recently made a big life change, one that has been a long time coming, and trust me when I say it was a choice that wasn’t made lightly.
I walked away from a job I truly enjoyed, a job I was successful at, to be able to spend more time taking care of my 5 kids.
And I want to see what I can accomplish if I take my energy and focus solely on building this brand…rather than having it as a side hustle.
I chose my family and I chose myself.
And I have not a single doubt in my mind that’s it’s the right decision.
But, I’ve heard the rumblings.
I’ve picked up on the nasty side of people that comes out when they don’t have your best interests at heart.
“Looks like she can’t do it all after all.” They say with a sly smile and a laugh.
And to that I respond with this…
You’re right.
I can’t do it all, and I’ve never pretended I could.
I was tired of sacrificing little moments with my family and ignoring my needs and wants in order to meet the needs and expectations of others.
Every day we choose where we put our energy, and I’m shifting mine back where I think it belongs.
If you see this as me admitting defeat I’m okay with it.
Because me…well I see it as one hell of a win.

Reason number 64 why I love living on a dirt road 👉 You can walk the dog wearing saggy two sizes too big sweatpants, sandals, your fav cozy sweatshirt…unbrushed hair and no makeup…and no one cares 😉

Prairie Wife Virtual Book Club: October 2022
Introducing the Books and filling you in on how it works and how you can be the lucky reader who has all three books show up at their door thanks to @windcitybooks #virtualbookclub #prairiewifebookclub #bookclubs #indiebookstore #prairiewifepartnership #headtotheblog #linkinbio
It has been over three months since I actively focused on myself and my fitness. It has been over three months since I consistently said yes to my mental and physical health. It used to be a non issue for me. Working out three times a week…running or hiking more than 6 miles a week…it was simply what I did. Here’s to starting over (again) and gaining back what I’ve lost…and to going further than I’ve ever been before.

“Hey you two! I love you. Have a great day, I’ll be home when you get home.”
It seems simple. It’s not a big deal. But oh, how I’ve missed sending them off with those morning kisses and an I love you.
It’s my first day of no radio show at @mycountry955 😅 Yes I was still awake at 4:45 am but it felt nice to not have to get out of bed! This next month is definitely going to be a time of adjustment and learning…but I’m here for it ✅
Thanks for being here too.
