Listen, Linda... For the last two weeks, I had been talking about having a garage sale this weekend. We have SO MUCH STUFF to go through and get rid of before Luca is here (in 5 short months!!!) I don’t know what happened, but the plan completely slipped my mind over the last 3 days.....I only remembered last night before going to sleep, and ya girl did NOT have time to get things in order. So.... Guess who isn’t having a garage sale this weekend? 👋🏼 My brain has seriously been absent lately. I forgot one of my dog’s names, slept in bed with my car keys and couldn’t find them yesterday morning, and have apparently experienced some kind of mental jet lag, because I’ve slept over 12 hours the last two evenings/nights without reason. Don’t ask me 🤷🏼‍♀️ Pregnancy brain + exhaustion make me a really....interesting person 😅 Today though, I’m going to do my best to CHILL, catch up on some laundry, and probably nap because that’s who I am anymore. What are YOUR plans for this beautiful weekend? 🌺 . . . #bestofmom #honestmotherhood #habitandhome #inbeautyandchaos #justmomlife #momlifestyle #motherhoodintheraw #teammotherly #ohheymama #nestlingly #mymotherhood #unitedinmotherhood #motherhoodrising #momlifeisthebestlife #joyfulmamas #goodthoughts #positiveenergy #mybeautifulmess #nothingisordinary #makeitblissful #pursuewhatislovely #thehappynow #seekthesimplicity #pregnancy #ohbaby #pregnancybrain

This was my dad’s favorite shirt. He wore it at least 3 out of 7 days of the week AND he had another one just like it. This one has a few bleach stains, but his smell remains within the threads. I was missing him extra hard yesterday, so I put on this shirt and went outside to feel the breeze before the rain. You know the saying “grief comes in waves?” Well, it’s true. It’s been two months and nine days without him, and still, my heart forgets and wants to call him on my lunch break to see how his day is going. I don’t feel sadness every day - some days, I feel okay and others, missing him hits me like a brick. Grief is messy, whether it be grieving a pet or a friend or the person you used to be before life got ahold of you and broke your heart - regardless, it’s necessary, and you WILL be okay. . I took a deep breath and whispered “I miss you” yesterday. I whispered to my dad, but also to myself.... Death changes a person, ya know. I can surely say that I am not the same Calyn that I was before I watched my daddy take his very last breath, and that’s okay. I believe that who I am becoming - stronger, focused, and fearless - will be a better version of me. I mean, you don’t grow where you’re comfortable.. . If you’re going through something today - be it a broken heart, a time of confusion and strife, or simply a “bad day,” please know that you’re not alone. Our pain may be different, but love is universal and I AM HERE FOR YOU, no matter who you are. Love & light 🌺

Oh, is it ever.. There are so many ways to “refuel the soul,” and they don’t always look like pedicures and being overly-indulgent - don’t get me wrong, self care in the form of pampering and comfort food is totally necessary AT TIMES // but in effort to feel and be your best self, the care process mustn’t only occur on Friday nights at home.... I’m talking • MIND • BODY • SPIRIT • y’all! . It’s not just about relaxation - it’s about stimulation and movement of your mind and body! You know the feeling when you go for a run or push through a tough workout and leave feeling that good exhaustion and the endorphins? Your body needs that! Or when you become full from an açaí bowl & almond butter toast instead of miserable from a stack of pancakes? THAT IS ALSO SELF CARE. Get some fresh air - even if you stay inside, open the windows and allow life in ~ that, too, is a form of self care. . You never know how important it really is to nurture your body & soul until you find yourself exhausted, pouring from an empty cup.. ☕️ How will you practice self care today, my friends? . . . #healthmatters #healthyhappylife #iamwellandgood #intuitiveliving #mindbodyspirit #selfloveclub #wellnessjourney #nourishyourself #naturalhealth #mindbodygram #liveinspired #soulwisdom #trusttheuniverse #innerpeace #heartbliss #heartandsoul #highvibration #beherenow #aslowmoment #choosejoy #inspiremyinstagram #feelfreefeed #darlingmovement #meetthemoment #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #seekthepositive #thelifestyle

[ June 13 Affirmation ] - Today is going to be incredible. . I know I’m not feeling this way right now.. I feel like my alignment is off somewhere, because I don’t feel like being around anyone today. I would be so glad to sit in a dark room and sip my decaf coffee, only observing the world instead of taking part in it. Unfortunately though, that’s not how life works today. . How are you? Are you feeling invigorated or exhausted? Cheerful or cheered plain out? The great thing about the Law of Attraction is this - even though we may not be feeling our best, we are capable of attracting good things by changing our mindset. Affirmations can play a huge part in that! Like a daily motto, an affirmation helps us focus on the good so that we can attract the good. . Even if you aren’t feeling top notch, take a look in the mirror and repeat the affirmation above three times, then a few more times randomly throughout the day. Feel the sun, my friends ☀️ Today is going to be incredible. • • • • #healthymindset #highvibetribe #lawofattraction #manifestyourdreams #manifestyourlife #positiveintentions #positiveliving #raiseyourvibration #theuniversehasyourback #youaremagic #vibrationalenergy #youarepowerful #abundancemindset #growthmindset #positiveaffirmations #positivelifestyle #positiveselftalk #chooselovely #flashesofdelight #howyouglow #darlingdaily #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #pursuewhatislovely #theeverygirl

THIS is where it’s at this morning - don’t allow yourself to remain bound by the chains of who you used to be. Growth is natural and beautiful, a metamorphosis of self. You are not your old habits or mistakes. Go inward and dig deep - who are you, really? Find her, love her, be HER 🌺 . . . #lawofattraction #manifestyourlife #positiveliving #raiseyourvibration #spiritjunkie #selfgrowth #theuniversehasyourback #youaremagic #youarepowerful #positiveintentions #manifestyourdreams #healthymindset #highvibetribe #intuitiveliving #liveinspired #iamwellandgood #selfloveclub #nourishyourself #wellnessjourney #mindbodyspirit #heartandsoul #innerpeace #loveandlight #souljourney #soulpurpose #soulwisdom #spiritualjourney

Well... I didn’t get my nap, lol. I did some more power washing, sanding, and ended up staining the front porch today! I really would have liked to lay out of a little, but there was much to be done!
