Me, not caring at all that I’ve gained some weig Me, not caring at all that I’ve gained some weight the last couple months despite working out for almost every.single.day of 2020.😎 (and not in the high waisties so you can appreciate the squish in all its #glory.)

We can all agree that 2020 was a total mindfuck. The last few months, fitness has had nothing to do with weight loss and everything to do with managing my mental health. I restarted anxiety medication that I used way back in high school. It made gain weight then, and it made me gain weight now. Worth EVERY pound friends. Focusing on my actual literal sanity meant focusing less on nutrition and weight lifting consistency and more on rest or gentle movement when my mind needed it (The universe will not let me actually enjoy yoga - but I keep trying 🧘‍♀️🙄). And Christmas time meant lots of cookies!!🎄🥰

I promise I’m totally okay with it. A year and a half of moving my body every damn day has taught me that fitness is really not the same thing as weight loss. #MovementISmedicine. 

And now that my anxious brain has been soothed, we ready for literally whatever crazy ish you got planned for us, 2021.✨🎆💪🏼
(Oh and a third pic just to show this cool shirt hubs got me for Christmas and to prove that I do, in fact, wear shirts sometimes 🤣)

Flowers have always been our thing. When @joshypoo Flowers have always been our thing. When @joshypoo421 first took me to dinner and a movie on Valentines Day my senior year of high school, he bought me a beautiful bouquet from a FLORIST,  not publix. I had never received non grocery store flowers in my life, and at 17, it seemed so FANCY🤩
.
He returned to the same florist for all my special occasions for years, until they closed. He buys me grocery store flowers, too. I even like them just as much. I’m always the type of person to say temporary things are a “waste” of money. Josh is always the type of person to remind me that if it brings me joy, it’s not a waste. 
.
Almost 13 years later and all of adulthood... he still always gets me flowers.🥰🎄✨ #getyouonelikeigot #husbandgoals

Since moving to Denver we’re pros at low key our-household-only holidays. So this year wasn’t really any different for us. I chugged rosé and didn’t have to wear a bra all day SO🙌🏼♥️ #thanksgiving2020 #rinehartsgowest
Update on GreyBaby: He will only require a cast f Update on GreyBaby: 
He will only require a cast for 6 weeks!🙌🏼 The doctor explained that because he is so young, and his injury is just below a growth plate, he is basically Wolverine and he will heal his whole tibia in a snap (the doctor literally snapped!👌🏼💛) He will require regular X-rays over the next couple of years because these types of injuries have a small chance of “over healing,” but that is A-OKAY with me. 
.
The nurse was even nice enough to let him have BOTH the red AND black cast he wanted. I know the season has you thinking candy cane, but that is a Spider-Man cast, thank you very much.😏

Jace got roller skates for his tenth birthday and Jace got roller skates for his tenth birthday and they fit me.🛼 Somehow some way enough time has passed and I can share shoes with my son.😦😭 (Not pictured: @joshypoo421 holding me up while I pretend that I know how to twirl in roller skates - I do not 😂) Weird happenings over here, friends.✨ #alwaysmybaby

What mid-week holiday off of work isn’t spent trying to reign in the endless mountain of laundry? And believe it or not - the wall patch was my doing not the kids. Just needs painted now.😅😅 Also, Oakley is shedding his fur in clumps lately. 🐕 This season is a messy one, folks.🤪

Unpopular Opinion : I love our crazy weather patterns. Colorado is the coolest.

Second Unpopular Opinion: I hate(suck at) yoga. I want so much to like it...but I swear I just can’t! But the more I lift the tighter I feel so 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♀️#yogalife
Tonight Zoey innocently - and randomly - asked, “Do grownups HAVE to have sex?” Needless to say, a nuanced conversation ensued. Biology. Sexuality. Consent.

May we always be the type of family who casually talks about sex at the dinner table.🤍 #NoNiaveParents #educationisalwaystheanswer #safetyfirst

I spent a long time believing the lies about my stretch marks, soft belly skin, and boobs that milked life into my 3 children. Learning to say “F*CK THAT, catch me at the pool,” has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life. 10/10 recommend.🤟🏼👒 #idowhatiwant #bodypositive #mombod
