Can’t think of a better way to spend a long weekend Monday than a slow morning, a big breakfast, and a family hike. Wells passed out about 40 seconds after this pic was taken and slept the whole way down the mountain, in the car ride home, and then transferred to his crib (there truly is a first time for everything!). I guess Hennie’s birthday weekend has tired out the whole family 😅 Hope you’ve all had a relaxing weekend! • PS if you’re having a baby buy this carrier. • • #gonecoastal #coastlife #sunshinecoastbc #happybaby #happybabycarrier #15monthold #kidswhoexplore #wildbaby #wildbabies #fifteenmonthsold #babywearing #babywearingmama #pnwmama #pnwparenting #mindfulmama

Storytime! ✨ The morning after one of our very first dates Tom and I were grabbing breakfast at the coffee shop around the corner from the weird Vancouver mansion he lived in and I asked him what his dream occupation would be. At the time he was a post-doc nuclear physicist at the university campus where I studied so I was pretty surprised when he told me it would be “Latte Daddy.” I asked him what the heck that was and he said that Vancouver seemed to have a ton of dads who spent their days just getting coffee and taking their kids to the park 🤣 (Tom was fresh off the boat from the UK at this point). Maybe he was just being cheeky or maybe it was a subtle way of telling me he wanted to have kids some day. • Just in case I missed that subtlety he then proceeded to joke about how if we had kids they’d be so fair-haired that we could name them after Greek gods. Well, here we are and he was right that they’re the blondest, whitest babies around. Spoiler alert: we gave them English and Dutch names. • Anyway please send suggestions for six figure careers I can start working on asap in order to support my husband in his dream of becoming a Latte Daddy. 🤔☕️ Or maybe his ideal job has changed since actually having children and seeing what being around them all day is like 😅. At any rate he may have to settle for just half his dream; the “daddy” part was the best half of the title anyway 🖤 • • • • 📷 by @nochancenanc #prockyfam #gonecoastal #lattedaddy #stayathomemom #sunshinecoastbc #pnwfamily #pnwmama #pnwparenting #slowparenting #mindfulmama #naturekids #familyphotography #gibsonsbc #momanddad

Always a rad day when they wake up from a nap with a smile this big! • Even though Wells has been teething badly this week (clingy and whiny 😖) and Tom’s been out of town for work and Hennie has regressed back to crying every night at bedtime LIFE IS STILL SO RAD. I’ve been trying to cultivate more of a spirit of gratitude lately and it’s hard work! I’ve been reading about how gratitude is like a muscle that we have to practice in order to strengthen and I’m finding that so true; the more I focus on the good stuff the easier it is to notice more good stuff. This week, both metaphorically and literally, I’ve been appreciating all of the sunshine rather than fearing the coming rain. It feels good and I swear the kids can sense the difference. • I also hiiiighly recommend the @calm app for a boost. I accidentally bought it in February when I forgot to cancel the subscription 29 days into my 30 day trial (rookie mistake!) but I’m so glad I did. It helps me reset when I wake up in a funk and helps me clear my head before bed when too many thoughts are swirling. Have you tried it? Not an ad, just a recommendation from an anxious over-thinker who temporarily lost her ability to look on the bright side 🧘🏼‍♀️ • #lifeisrad #gratitude #gratitudeadjustment #hashtagblessed #oneyearold #babyboy #toddlerboy #calmapp #gratefulmama #honestmotherhood #rawmotherhood

Happy 3rd birthday to this bright little soul! She is a kind, empathetic, hilarious little girl who is unlike other kids her age in many weird and wonderful ways. She is sensitive and stubborn and takes a long time to get comfortable with new people and ideas and we love celebrating her qualities and the unique way she sees the things around her 🖤 • She had a rocky start and it took her about a year to warm up to being in this world but she blossomed into a child who (tentatively) finds joy in so many places. We love the way she cares for her brother “Welfie”, the way she sings and dances daily to her own made-up songs, and especially the expression on her face when she knows she’s being funny but is trying not to laugh. • Hennie James you are A LIGHT, my darling! I love you, I love you, I love you!
