Top three parenting tips: - be excited about the things they’re into - pay for experiences more than stuff - spend one on one time with them I never expected I would spend 14 hours on my feet and be up until 2:30am so Darby could meet Benson Boone but I know we’ll have this memory forever and it was so worth it!! Tell me your biggest parenting tip in the comments!

experiences over stuff always 💕 now I just need to figure out how to get this girl into VIP to meet @bensonboone 😂

It’s official! I turned the big 4-0 and felt so blessed to be celebrated by my amazing friends and family! In the run up to my birthday I really didn’t even feel like celebrating at all but Gabriel and my friends rallied and encouraged me to soak in this massive milestone and celebrate…and I’m so glad I did!! Sushi with the kids, a girls brunch with most of my absolute favorite women, Napa, mud baths, and then Costa Rica with my husband! Make sure you check out the last slide to see the next big goal for my life 🤪 Thank you so much for celebrating me and loving me so well friends!

simplifying the front of the house by removing all the brick was one of my favorite decisions…we saved so much money by matching the same siding and painting it black rather than trying to put new siding up everywhere…now all we need is a new front door!!

welcome to my dream kitchen!! I can’t believe it’s finally here, a long road but SO worth it!!

we got ourselves some countertops 😍 this has been a long, hard process but I can’t believe the kitchen of my dreams is finally coming together!! #homerenovationideas #kitchenrenovationideas

I’m all about the inexpensive basics…no $200 jeans here!! Comment “links” and I’ll DM them to you!

and my exciting visitor is…MY SISTER!! she’s visiting from England for two whole weeks with her husband and my two nephews and we can’t wait to show them all that Northern California has to offer 💕

all is right in the world 🤣

After a year of plywood stairs we finally found someone who could pull off my vision for these stairs and I couldn’t be happier!! If you’re local and need an amazing woodworker...comment below and I’ll DM you his contact info 😉

Feeling swamped with the idea that you need to overhaul your entire life to see the change you crave? 💫 Let’s take a deep breath and simplify. Here’s a little secret: it’s all about swapping, not overhauling. Here are some simple yet powerful swaps to get you started on this journey: 1: Trade your coffee for a smoothie to jumpstart your morning with a gentler boost. 2: Instead of scrolling on your phone first thing in the morning, try a morning walk or gratitude journal. 3: Swap that vending machine snack for fruit or nuts. 4: Exchange your to-do list for a “done” list to celebrate your daily wins. 5: Instead of late-night snacking, try sipping herbal tea to wind down. Remember, transformation is done through the small but mighty swaps that edge us closer to the life we dream of. 🌟 So, what’s one swap you’re eager to embrace? Share it in the comments, and let’s uplift each other as we navigate these small changes that pave the way to big transformations. Here’s to swapping our way to a life filled with joy and purpose! 💕

Imagine, years from now, looking back not on the time it took, but on the sheer fact that you DID it. That’s where I’m headed, and let me tell you, the view from here is already looking pretty sweet. The secret sauce? Focus. It’s not always glamorous, and there are days when it feels like an uphill battle. But I’m here, sleeves rolled up, ready to trade in a few Netflix binges for the life of my dreams. It’s about more than just hustle; it’s about aligning every step with where I want to be. 🌟 I’m doubling down this month on my daily rituals, cutting through the noise, and daring to leave my cozy comfort zone behind. Because the life I envision? It’s worth every bit of effort. So, here’s to the journey, to the ups and downs, and to knowing that every step forward is a step closer to where we’re meant to be. I’m all in. How about you? Drop a ❤️ if you’re with me, ready to dive headfirst into making those dreams a non-negotiable part of your reality. Let’s make magic happen, together!

WHAT I DID TO GET UNSTUCK👇🏻 Fear kept me stuck for a long time ✨ Then came last summer, and I decided enough was enough. I ditched my fears and followed what God placed in my heart. Suddenly, everything in my life and business started to shift in the most incredible ways. 🧡 Here’s what I worked on: Actually start believing that the dreams that are in your heart came from Him because He wants you to do them. Ignore what everyone else is up to or what they’re saying. God’s vision for you is unique. Stop worrying about all the “what-ifs” that bring you down. Start imagining all the amazing possibilities that God has laid out for you. Focus on serving others and helping them with all you’ve got. Keep your eyes on the prize, on the dreams God has planted in your heart. Put in the work, day by day, step by step. 💖 I made a choice to stay true to myself, to the dreams and goals God whispered to me, no matter what the world threw my way. And now, I’m starting to reap the rewards. This isn’t just wishful thinking. It’s what happens when you’re steadfast and fearless about pursuing your God-given dreams. ✨ Now, I am dreaming bigger, and thinking about how I can use what I’ve learned to make an even bigger difference, to be a blessing to others. 💫 YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAM A REALITY TOO! 💫

Leave a 🙌🏻 if that’s you! You made it to the RIGHT PLACE! Feeling a bit lost in the hustle, right? Yearning for a life that’s more than just busy schedules and cluttered spaces. You’re craving simplicity and a clear path to your dreams, eager to embrace a life that’s both abundant and meaningful. You’ve got goals and aspirations, maybe even a vision board, but find yourself overwhelmed by where to start or how to keep the momentum. I get it, I’ve been right where you are. Not long ago, I was juggling too much, trying to find balance in the chaos, and longing for a simpler, more fulfilling life. It was a journey of self-discovery, of cutting through the noise to find what truly matters. I’m here to help give you resources so you can save all the time that I wasted trying to figure out strategies to success. Let’s redefine success together, shall we? With simplicity, generosity, and the smart strategies to make your online income dreams a reality. Are you in?

Yes, YOU. Proud of everything you’ve achieved, no matter how big or small. 🌟 To each and every one of you who kept pushing, didn’t throw in the towel, took the time to adjust, and gave yourself the grace you needed, I see you. And I’m so, so proud. 🙌 This is just the beginning, and I’m here to tell you, this will be your best year yet. And hey, if January didn’t pan out exactly as you hoped, that’s perfectly OK. The beauty of life? Every day is a new opportunity to start fresh. Today could be the day everything turns around. 💫 🤞🏻So here’s to giving ourselves the credit we deserve. To recognizing our growth, appreciating our journey, and honoring the knowledge we’ve gained along the way. It’s about stepping into our worth, believing in the value we bring, and sharing that with the world. 🌍

today is Gabriel’s birthday and we’re so excited to celebrate our main man! Babe, you fill our life with laughter and crazy adventures and we are so blessed to call you ours! You’re the best dad our kids could ask for and all of you hard work and dedication is an inspiration. We love you!

This declaration fueled every step I took in January, it was a month of not just dreaming but doing, of not just wishing but working. ✨ I embraced the discomfort, posting more frequently on social media to connect, share, and inspire. Each post was a promise to myself and to you: we’re in this together. 🌅 My mornings became sacred times, dedicated to routines that set the tone for success. It grounded me, reminding me that consistency is key in the chaos of chasing dreams. 📚 Teaching has always been close to my heart. This month, I dove deeper, leading classes on social media and online marketing. Sharing knowledge, witnessing growth, and learning alongside you has been incredibly fulfilling. 🚀 Pushing myself out of my comfort zone became a daily practice. Every small step outside the familiar was a giant leap towards my ultimate goals. It’s in these moments of discomfort that I found more of my strength, my voice, and my path. This journey isn’t just about reaching a destination. It’s about growing, learning, and embracing every part of the process. Remember, our dreams are waiting for us, not at the end of an easy road, but along a path we pave with courage, effort, and relentless determination. Let’s make our dreams true, one day, one step at a time. Here’s to turning our visions into victories, together. 💪❤️

Morning rituals are my anchor. No matter how the day unfolds, starting it right sets the tone. But if I can’t dive into my full routine, there are three non-negotiables: 🍋 a warm cup of lemon water 📖 a moment with my Bible 🙏🏼 and a brief meditation These simple acts ground me, connect me to my faith, and clear my mind for the day ahead. It’s not about the grand gestures but the small, consistent practices that make the biggest difference. Do you have a morning routine?

The past two weeks I’ve had the opportunity to teach a class full of actors about the importance of their social media presence and websites. It’s such an honor to be able to help people get their dreams online, I never take it for granted. But it got me thinking… What’s the deal with your dreams? Are you scared of messing up or looking silly? Or is it the idea of looking back and thinking, “I wish I’d gone for it” that really gets to you? Life’s too short to sit on the sidelines. No more waiting around. It’s time to get brave and just go for it! Mistakes? They’re just part of the journey. Learn from them and keep moving. Your dreams are there for a reason. They’re not just daydreams; they’re what you’re meant to do. I had to make this switch in my thinking to really start seeing success in my life. You’ve got this. Just take that first step. I’m here to cheer you on and help out however I can.

HERE’S HOW👇🏻 The journey to your dreams doesn’t require a grand leap but just one small step at a time...here’s what helped me: Craft Your Vision: Get clear on what you’re chasing. A vision board can be a powerful reminder of your ‘why’. Pin up those dreams and let them inspire you every day! Find Your Anchors: Routine is your friend. Set your alarm for the same time each morning, create a morning ritual that energizes you, and let these constants be the pillars that support your day. Use Music as a Pivot: Find that one song that makes you feel unstoppable and turn it on when you need a boost! Declutter Your Space: Distractions, be gone! Whether it’s doom-scrolling through the news or listening to naysayers, it’s time to clear out the noise. Focus on what truly moves you forward. Just Do It: At the end of the day, only you have the power to change your life. Each small action is a step closer to where you want to be. So, take a breath, take that step, and watch how it all starts to unfold. You’ve got this, and I’m cheering you on every step of the way! Feeling stuck or not sure what your next step should be?

I need your help for 5 seconds…what do we have in common?!?! tell me in the comments below 👇🏻

Here’s the thing about new beginnings: they’re not tied to a calendar. We’re a few weeks into 2024, but guess what? Every moment is a chance to say, ‘Today’s the day I start.’ It can be so easy to stay where you are comfortable, but as tempting as it is to stay put, it actually puts a pause button on your dreams. It’s comfortable, sure, but it’s also a bit like quicksand, holding us back from what could be. Now, stepping outside that zone? I won’t lie – it feels a bit like jumping off the edge of a cliff into the unknown. It’s totally scary but it’s in that leap that turns our ‘What if?’ into ‘I can and I will!’ Those little doubts that whisper “you can’t” are just echoes of fear holding you back from being everything you could be. Your comfort zone is just a part of your journey, not the destination. Your next chapter? You get to write it, all you have to do is take that first step! So here’s my proposal: let’s make 2024 the best year yet. Drop “Goals” in the comments below, and I’ll send my free ‘Escaping Your Comfort Zone’ exercise to your inbox. It’s more than just a guide – it’s the beginning of a journey where your dreams shift from distant thoughts to realities. Are you with me? Let’s do this!

Mornings are powerful – they set the stage for our day. We can either start by scrolling through social media, absorbing others’ lives, or taking a moment to focus on our life and the things that we want to accomplish. I’ve embraced simplifying my mornings. A routine centered around my needs and goals has transformed my days. Simplifying isn’t just tidying your space; it’s clearing your mind too. Begin your day nurturing your dreams, not lost in digital noise. Here are three steps to kickstart mornings that craft the day you want: ☝🏻Silence: Spend the first few moments in quiet contemplation or visualization. Picture your goals, feel the success, and set a positive tone for the day. This practice centers your mind, focusing your energy on what truly matters. ✌🏻Movement: Engage in some kind of physical activity, whether it’s yoga, stretching, or a short walk. This isn’t about fitness; it’s about awakening your body and mind, ready to tackle the day. 🤟🏻Preparation: Take a few minutes to plan your day. Look through everything you need to do and plan what will come first. So, my challenge for you today: What small action will you take today towards the life you want? It could be writing down goals, savoring a quiet coffee moment, or a quick stretch. Make mornings your time to invest in yourself. Each choice to focus on your journey, no matter how small, is a step towards creating the life of your dreams! Do you have a morning routine that centers you? Share in the comments – I’m excited to hear your ideas!

This year was up there with one of the most painful years I’ve experienced…it started out with a devastating blow and I’ve spent all year healing & growing from it. I can truly say 2023 changed so much about my mindset & the woman I’m becoming and for that, I’m so grateful. But I also did the work, jumped out of my comfort zone & faced the giants head on…I’m so proud of myself! - I learned that I can handle way more than I ever thought I could - I learned that God is literally in every detail of my triumphs and my pain - I learned the importance of family & friends that you can be real with - I learned that your most painful situations can turn around quickly…I would have NEVER thought I’d be in such a better place in such a short amount of time. As I step into the new year, my focus word is “reap.” There’s a newfound hope and excitement about my future and my purpose. I’m eager to see what this year unfolds! Now, I’m curious – what’s your word for this year? Share it with me in the comments

Merry Christmas from the Mayes Team! This past year the word the Lord gave me was “invest” and I made some hard decisions to turn inward, and free up time to focus on these kiddos…who will start leaving the nest before I know it! Realizing this is a total mind shift in parenting and the moments all seem so precious, so we’re soaking them in and adjusting to this new phase of life. A lot of life has felt undone this past year but in a good way…the kind of undone that leaves room for something even more beautiful to be built this next year (like my kitchen!), and that’s what I’m looking forward to!

October Roundup🍁 pumpkin patching, celebrating our new teenager!!! A fun girls trip, supporting the all blacks & figuring out how to truly REST… it’s a work in progress but I’ve been figuring out how to both be productive & slow down to soak in the time that I have right now. Something crazy happens when you realize there’s only a few years left before your kids will start moving out 😭

my long anticipated dream table!! I actually can’t believe how long it’s taken to arrive & installed but it’s finally here!! …I almost didn’t do a full reveal because the floor isn’t the final vision but I want to normalize the process of getting one thing at a time and being content with what “is”…can’t believe this dream came true!!

Spoiler alert…it wasn’t a diet 🙊 I’ve been getting lots of questions lately about the obvious change in my skin & the truth is, I feel SO much better and it all started with my gut health! So I thought I’d share my journey to better skin, more energy, and less bloating so I have the info all in one place! Let’s rewind a bit: I used to battle daily bloating, have constant digestive troubles, and was exhausted by dinner time. And even worse than that, my skin often had painful breakouts, which honestly felt like a cruel flashback to my teenage years! Over the past year I’ve been experimenting with various approaches and products, and guess what? I’ve finally made some headway! The most dramatic change I saw was when I did a gut reset. It made my existing collagen routine work so much better and gave me amazing ideas for healthy meals moving forward. It’s all about creating the right conditions for wellness to thrive from the inside out. I then replaced my morning coffee with a daily natural caffeine drink with vitamins and minerals to promote balanced energy and mental focus and alertness. It’s been the missing piece that ties everything together. If you’re curious to find out what’s been working for me, just drop a “ME” in the comments! 🙋‍♀️ I’ll shoot over the links to these three gems that have finally given me the boost I’ve been searching for!

Life in the middle of a renovation isn’t always picture-perfect. I’ve learned to live with plastic on the ceiling, 7 different flooring types, and dust in places I didn’t even know existed. But guess what? I’ve also learned something truly invaluable: the art of contentment. 💫 Here are my top 5 tips for staying content amidst our never-ending renovation: 1️⃣ Embrace Imperfections: Recognize that perfection isn’t the goal. Sometimes, it’s the quirks and flaws that make your space uniquely yours. 2️⃣ Focus on Progress: Celebrate every small victory, no matter how minor it may seem. Progress, no matter how slow, is still progress. 3️⃣ Create a Peaceful Corner: Finish one space in your home so it can be your sanctuary. Even in the chaos, having a serene spot to retreat to can work wonders, for me it’s the couch area. 4️⃣ Stay Organized: Keep your renovation organized with schedules and to-do lists. Knowing what’s next can reduce stress and uncertainty. 5️⃣ Practice Patience: Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is your dream home. Getting to live in the space for a while has changed some plans and I’m so thankful for that! So here’s to contentment during renovation madness. To appreciating the journey just as much as the destination. To the wisdom gained from embracing life as it comes. ✨ Who else has found unexpected treasures in the midst of their home transformations?

this years birthday was a special one for me…my last years before I turn the big 4-0! 🤪 but it’s also significant because I feel such a shift in this season for me. Im stepping into new things and taking action even though it scares me! I’ve never felt more in tune with what I’m supposed to do and that is so exciting! 🙏🏼 to all of my friends who celebrated me so well, I feel so loved by all of you and feel so blessed to have you on my team 💕

I realized today that there are just 99 days left in this year! 99 days 🤯 What if we committed to showing up every single day for the next 99 days? Think about it—by January 1st, we’d be so much closer to our goals. So why wait? Here’s how you can start right now: Start by setting clear, actionable goals. Break your big dreams into bite-sized pieces. 🌠 Want to start a new business, renovate your dream home, or master a new skill? Define the steps to get there. Next, show up for yourself daily. Whether it’s taking one tiny step towards your goal, learning something new, or improving your skills, every action counts. 💫 Success isn’t just about the destination; it’s about the journey! By taking consistent action, we’re not only moving forward but also learning and growing along the way. So, what’s one goal you want to achieve by year-end? Share it in the comments below, and let’s support each other in making these last 99 days truly count! #99DaysToEndTheYear #DreamBig #ConsistencyIsKey #makeeverydaycount

I’ve been feeling a shift in season for a while now and I’m seeing it all around me and the lives of the people that are closest to me. 💕 SO many people are done with the rat-race and the constant pursuit of the “more”. Their time being sucked away by endless scrolling and comparison to other peoples lives. We’re all working SO hard just to provide a good life for our families. Who’s ready for a little more peace? ✌🏻 I’ve been implementing simple habits these last few weeks and have been craving a slower pace of life for a long time. The ironic thing about all of this is that I’ve never felt more of a drive or passion to work than I do right now! But I’m determined to find a way to live a peaceful, slow life, but also produce and build abundance for our family at the same time. And that’s what I’m working on right now, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you 💕

we ended our trip on a road trip down to the south of England to visit the Cotswolds, Stonehenge & all of the London monuments! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 We wrapped up our trip with the most perfect day touring the inside of Buckingham Palace which was a dream come true for me…a memory we’ll never forget!

Highlights from Wigan & Manchester!! 💃🏻 Getting to introduce the kids to my hometown & all my childhood favorites…meat pies, rugby, chips & gravy, jammy donuts, sausage rolls and alllll the best snacks & chocolate! 🥧 and better than all the amazing food was the time we spent with my siblings and nephews…it’s so fun when your kids are old enough to build relationships with family that are so far away! We miss everyone already 💕

Our time in Northern Ireland was filled with special time with my parents. I thought splitting our time between two sets of grandparents might be tricky but it all worked out perfectly. Watching the kids bond with my parents and hear stories about my childhood was so special. We also fell in love with Northern Ireland and would love to own a property there someday 💕

18 YEARS!! 🎉 Today is our anniversary and it hardly feels real that it’s been 18 years…are we old enough for that?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ It may seem these past 5 weeks like we’re living the dream but I have to tell you, we’ve both put in the hard work to make our dreams come true, to stay connected, to forgive and be better than we were before. It’s 7 years since we lost it all and without God, none of this would be possible! Thanking Jesus today for giving us both the determination to make it through and the willingness to change when it felt impossible. 🙏🏼 There is no impossible situation when you’re willing to put in the work, I promise you ❤️

We spent the day in Dublin and had the best time! I highly recommend exploring Dublin Castle & eating at 1837 Bar & Brasserie in the Guinness Storehouse. Then taking a carriage ride & seeing the Book of Kells and Long Room at Trinity College. If you want a really fun experience, end the day at the Hairy Lemon for a traditional Irish Pub experience! #exploredublin #travelingfamily #thingstodoindublin

Paris was quite the whirlwind!!! 3 days visiting all the monuments and eating all the treats, walking up to the top of the Eiffel Tower AND the Arc de Triomphe. It took us a few days to recover but it was SO worth it!!

What changes have you made so far this year?

consider this our Christmas card this year…visiting the Garden of Lights is the only tradition we’ve kept for the past 3 years 🤣 swipe to step back in time! There’s still time to visit @redding_lights before they close for the year on January 8th. @turtlebay_redding @sheraton_redding #SheratonRedding #ReddingLights #TurtleBay

peaceful morning routine…

Gabriel actually getting it in the end is the funniest part 🤣

my dream couch!! 🥹🙌🏻😭 we’ve always bought from estate sales or thrift stores so saving up and buying this couch has been a dream come true!! What’s something big that you’re saving for?

we’ve been working so hard this week and the changes are mind blowing!! It’s crazy what new floors can do!!

this is your sign to go check into a hotel for 24 hours…you deserve it ❤️

what’s your misconception about poodles?! I’d love to share the truth!! . . . . . #poodlesofinstagram #poodlesofficial #poodlesarethebest #poodlesareagirlsbestfriend

SEVENTEEN We’ve been married for 17 years today!! What’s the secret to a long-lasting marriage?! Neither of us are willing to give up…there have been days, weeks and months that we’ve wanted to give up. But neither of us did. We’ve both worked really hard to be the best versions of ourselves, we are constantly growing and are never perfect. It is NOT easy but it’s so worth it!

don’t worry…we are just as surprised as you! take a look at the new additions to The Mayes Team! 😳 🐩 #poodlepuppies

we’ve experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows and you’ve been a rock through it all! Happy Father’s Day Gabriel!!

new summer haircut…feeling alllll the feels!! 🫣😳🤪

The bestest mother EVER! 👆🏼 Our kids are truly blessed to have you as their mom. All of your “behind the scenes” actions do not go unnoticed. Thanks for creating a safe space for our kids and loving them so well!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY DEBBIE! -@gabrielmayes

One of the biggest changes for us is that the boys have their own rooms!! This was a massive decision for our family but they’re pretty happy about it 🤣

Believe it or not, the ceilings in this place are even higher! Can you believe I finally have a laundry room?!

It’s time for the big reveal!! Welcome to our new home… can you believe those ceilings?!?!

Do you relate?! 🤣

caption this 🤣⬆️ I’ll leave mine in the comments…

Who wore it best…the White House living room or the Tiny House bedroom?! ➡️ we had so much fun designing these spaces for our Airbnb and want to know, which room makes our @boutiquerugs really shine?! ✨

2 years of hard work, countless hours of renovations & 3.2 billion target runs turned this 1950s home into an Airbnb dream! Couldn’t be more proud! #diyhomedecor #simpleliving #littleaccountlove #homerenovation #homereels #smmakelifebeautiful #fixerupper #fixerupperstyle

Make sure to scroll through and see each corner and let us know…what has been your favorite part?! #tinyhousemovement #airbnbhomes #neutraldecor #neutralaesthetic #moderntinyhouse

a sneak peek of our new home

here’s a 30 second update 🎢 #reelsinstagram #trendy #adayinthelife #explorepage #lifeupdate

last week we officially sold our land 💔 It was bittersweet for me because that land held SO many of my dreams for 3 years, I really believed that building on this land would happen! This journey has taught me SO MUCH about trusting the Lord and that sometimes the things that seem so “clear” to us are not what will actually happen. Letting go of this land, and all the dreams that it held was such a hard process but I believe now more than ever that He always wants “the same or better” for us. I may not be building it from the ground up like I thought, but I’m trusting that He knows what He’s doing. #godsgotthis #faithovereverything #tinyhousemovement #housebuild #newhousebuild

Happy Birthday to the man who always keeps me on my toes, works harder than anyone I know & makes me laugh like no one else. I’m SO excited that you’re starting to see the fruit of all your hard work these past few years and I know it’s just the beginning for us…this is going to be the best year of your life ❤️ 📸 @maxduganphoto

the truth is…I’ve been having a really hard time recently. but when I look back on where we came from, I realize how blessed I really am! what do you do when you’re feeling stuck?

this year had lots of highs and lots of lows but, with the help of Jesus, friends and lots of grace…we made it through!

Merry Christmas from The Mayes Team!

welcome to the most colorful room in the house 🎉 painting the girls room pink was a BIG step out of my comfort zone, but it was so worth it! We’ve been redecorating a room in the house each weekend and we’re LOVING the results...we’ve never regretted simplifying our lives, especially when there are 4 kids in the house! You all know how much we love to minimize around here and finding these wooden, sustainable toys from @anamalz_official were a massive win for us! What room in your house is in desperate need of minimizing? I’ll post mine in the comments...

👋🏻we have SO many new friends around here so we thought we’d some fun facts about us!! ☝🏻 Gabriel is from TX and I’m from Wigan in England ✌🏻 we’ve been married for 16 years & have lived allllll over the US...IL, TX, AR, OK and now we’re in NorCal 👌🏻we are SUPER passionate about helping Christians get their message out to the world using websites & social media and we use our business @maisey.co to do that! 🖖🏻 we are the type of friends that will always tell you “go for it!!” if you share your dream with us...whether it’s move onto a school bus, start your life completely over in a new city or try for one more baby even though you said you were done! 🙌🏻community is so important to us, we want to know YOU so tell us in the comments below a fun fact about you!!

ITS DEBBIES BIRTHDAY! 🥳 There isn’t another human on this planet that I am more thankful for. I am so glad you were born!! Everyone, please join me in showering Debbie with love!! #happybirthday #bestwifeever

another year, another remix of our favorite reel! the kids are all back in school today and it’s Jovey’s first day of kindergarten!!

IT’S OUR 16TH ANNIVERSARY TODAY! 🎉 From telling Gabriel “you and I will never date” to 4 kids and lots of highs and lows in between. It’s not always been perfect but it’s been worth it...we’re more in love now than ever before ❤️

returning to one of our favorite places...Maui!! let me know if you guessed right?! We have already decided to take 3 full days away from our phones while we’re here but would love to hear ways that you make vacations with kids special...when we get home they’ll be headed right back to school! . . . . . #travellingfamily #familieswhotravel #theglobewanderer #travelfar #travellust #shetravels #travelfamily #familytravel #familytravelblog

5 years of Jovey in 30 seconds...this girl has been bringing joy into our lives everyday! Happy Birthday Jovey Gwyn...our rainbow baby & wave of joy all wrapped in one. We love you so much!

to the one who always keeps us laughing... to the one who has made big mistakes but never given up... to the one who always keeps us on our toes... to the one who isn’t defined by his darkest moments... to the one who always believes things can be better... to the one who is blazing a trail that no man ever showed him... we love you so much Gabriel and are so blessed to watch the total transformation of God in your life, thanks for never giving up ❤️

we wanted to celebrate our porch reveal by recreating one of our favorite photos for Father’s Day coming up! because we’re minimalists we’re always trying to think of creative gifts to give that are practical & long lasting...high quality sunglasses from @sunglasshut are the best splurge for a day like Father’s Day because they’re a gift that can be remembered and used for years to come. Gabriel’s been wearing his Ray-Bans for years so we thought it was a good time for an upgrade 😉 #ad #theyearlonggift . . . . #instagramhusband #instadad #thedadlab #dadsofinstagram #flashesofdelight #fulltimefamily #vscodad #familyisforever #familyfirst #meandmine #lifegivingsquares #fambam #familyovereverything #becausecommunity

It’s our Deacon Levi’s 9th birthday today! He’s the perfect mix of sweet and adventurous and it’s been so fun to watch him grow and shine! He asked us this year if we could have his party the day after his birthday so we could spend time just as a family on his birthday...such a sweetheart!

we made it to Hawaii! if you’ve been following us for a while you’ll know we had to cancel our first ever trip to Hawaii as a family last year... just 2 weeks ago we made the decision to try it again. sometimes the best decisions are made last minute... so here we are after a spontaneous decision to come to Hawaii... and we’re already in love! stick around in our stories this week to join in on the fun! . . . . . #becausecommunity #travellingfamily #familieswhotravel #theglobewanderer #travellust #sheisnotlost #familytravelblog #parentswhowander #travelmadfam #loveyourtimetogether #familytraveltribe #familytravelblogger #familyisforever #familyfirst #meandmine #lifegivingsquares #fambam #familyovereverything💯

the palm leaf was pretty controversial...some of you loved it and some of you (Gabriel!) hated it 🤣 I decided to switch it up with this free DIY!

It’s Gabriel’s birthday today! Can you believe he’s 38 years old?! God has truly blessed us with this guy in our lives...he’s tenacious, fun, bold and always leaves things better than he found them. Gabriel, watching you transform these past 4 years has been amazing...you work harder than anyone I know both externally & internally and I like you more today than I ever have! send some love and birthday blessings to Gabriel in the comments below ❤️ . . . . . #dadsofinstagram #instagramhusband #instadad #liveauthentic #flashesofdelight #pursuitofhappiness #fulltimefamily #vscodad #goodgoodfather #familyfunday #familyisforever #familyfirst #meandmine #lifegivingsquares #fambam #familyovereverything #becausecommunity

I didn’t realize how much had changed in the living room until I compared it to the before 🤯 👉🏻 mounting our curtains all the way to the ceiling completely changed the look of our living room 🙌🏻 It’s crazy how much you feel like you aren’t making any progress until you look at how far you’ve come 🙌🏻 . . . . . #minimalisthome #smallspaceliving #neutralhome #tanaesthetic #howwedwell #showmeyourboho #doingneutralright #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #showmeyourstyled #interiør #interiorlovers #uohome #neutralaesthetic #shelfie #interiordeco #inspiremeinterior #cljsquad #nordicminimalism #scandihome #thedelightofdecor

do you want to play a fun game with us?! spot the difference and tell us what changes we’ve made to the living room in the comments below! HINT: there are SEVEN things we changed! we didn’t just put up our tree...we transformed our living room while we were at it!

#ad Ever since we moved in this door has been driving me crazy! I just wasn’t sure what color I wanted to paint it and don’t feel like I had time to accomplish the project! When @ppgpaints reached out about their Timeless one coat coverage, I knew exactly what I was going to do... it only took me 15 minutes to complete this project and now I’m wondering why I didn’t do it sooner! The coverage was amazing and it was only one coat, just like they told me it would be! swipe right to check out our before and after 👉🏻 #ppgtimelesspaint #ppgpartner

we officially have a teenager...Gracen is 13 today! ❤️ we spent the last 24 hours together, just the three of us and this kid is absolutely amazing...we are actually EXCITED about his teenage years and the amazing man that he is becoming! check out some crazy throwbacks on the swipe...Gabriel’s shoes and my eyebrows have also transformed these last 13 years 🤣
