Well that just happened!😁🌈🙌🏻Matt flew to Florida on Friday and drove our new RV through a hurricane💦and back to the Texas sunshine. He was greeted by three very excited girls (and a wifey) who can’t wait to take a summer road trip in a few weeks! And no, we aren’t moving out of the house.😂Don’t be crazy...we love it here. But we WILL use this beast to tour around and connect with our dōTERRA teams and also our family! Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa are on the list for August!☀️Where are my peeps at??!👀 Oh...and and let the renovations begin!!🔨🧰💡 Be sure to follow along in the stories for all the action🤓#familiesontheroad #nomadicliving #rvremodel #ontheroadagain

Let this magic wash over you.🌈Sound on! #utah #sundance #mountainmagic #natureheals

There is something quite special that happens when you surround yourself with brilliant, sparkly, vision-filled women.✨Women who know what it’s like to race toward a dream. Women who are leaders of leaders. Who rise up no matter what.🌈I’ve shared it all with these beauties...my highest mountaintops and my darkest caves...and this trip down the Danube held a bit of magic that none of us expected. Windy sunsets and soft green grass on sacred ground.🍀It was a whirlwind for sure and there is no one I’d rather do it with. Because oh my goodness....can they make me laugh!! So much laughter and wisdom and joy shared. Thank you friends. Can’t wait to hug your necks in September.💛#dōTERRA #womeninspiringwomen #danuberiver #europeanvacation #createalifeyoulove

My mama and my sister Laura are keeping the kiddos busy back in Texas...we’ve been hearing about card games, Epic Fun visits, swimming, and a trip to the San Antonio zoo where Emma rode this huge (and gorgeous) hummingbird.🌈Bella is off at camp this week...making new friends and singing around campfires. We miss them like crazy, but know they are in the BEST hands.💛Stop growing up while we’re gone!😭

Celebrating 19 years of wedded bliss with this guy! Loving every minute.💙

My current favorites: watching my hibiscus open and close every day🌺and my rainbow boots.🌈#natureisart #rainbowsmakemehappy #hibiscus #happyflower #flowerpower #texasgardening

Family pool time today.💦The heat index is around 114 degrees, and our faces were melting off so it had to happen. Felt SO GOOD.🌈Perfect day to rest up for a big week...Matt and I leave for Europe on Wednesday for 7-day river boat cruise down the Danube. Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Budapest with all of our best dōTERRA friends. Cannot WAIT! Be sure to watch my stories for all the goodness. #summerintexas #poollife #rainbowsmakemehappy #waterheals

I have long loved @faithevanssills’s beautiful nature mandalas...and I finally tried one for myself! The first morning after we planted our front flower garden, I collected all of the fallen blooms and made my own little piece of art. It was so soothing and I loved the gathering process and the intentional noticing of colors and textures.🌈🌺🌱I’ve also been reading “Morning Altars”...where @dayschildkret masterfully guides through this process of “nourishing your spirit through nature, art, and ritual.” When I slow down enough to notice the smallest details and textures of the earth, everything shifts. The hairs on a bumblebee. The tiny feet of a hummingbird. The sway of the grass in the wind. I start to see how it’s all connected. How we are all connected. And I stand in awe.✨#naturemandala #naturearts #morningaltars #flowerpower

Follow the bee!🐝Our Vitex is blooming and I’m obsessed. The bees are happily gathering nectar...along with hummingbirds and butterflies! It practically vibrates with happy pollinator energy.🦋Turn the sound up and you’ll hear it (along with a super energetic cardinal). We are hoping to start beekeeping next year (hooray!) and I’d love to plant more of these beauties.💜Vitex grows super well in Texas...it loves full sun and clay soils. Three awesome characteristics: It smells like lilac: be still my Midwestern heart.💛It’s medicinal and can be used to balance hormones. Plant medicine is so cool.🌿And lastly, it moves in the wind so gracefully that I stand mesmerized every time. #texasgardening #vitex #happybees #beesofinstagram #pollinators #dstx

A little before and after action!🙌🏻🌺☺️Goodbye weedy wasteland...hello native Texas happyland! Salvia, lantana, honeysuckle, sage, grasses, and hostas for my Baba.🌿🌸☀️Yay! It rained last night and I swear I could hear them singing for joy. Can’t wait to watch this mature over the next couple of years to its full glory.🌼Next up..to Sara-fy it with rainbows and magic.🌈We loved working with Alchemy Gardens...huge thanks to @petal.pusher and @bornofinfinity💛Your expertise and passion for plants is inspiring!✨#texasgardening #nativetexasplants #backyardflowers #createaspaceyoulove
