I have dozens of photos of me and my girls, dressed to the nines, laughing while running through fields. Picture perfect. But this one right here...it gets me. It’s our every day. The days I wouldn’t trade for anything.

So honored to be called “mom” by these two. It’s a title that I don’t take for granted. Happy Mother’s Day, fellow moms. Here’s to serving our families with a gentle heart and loving spirit.✨

Just another Tuesday in #ourhomeschoollife ✨

Highly recommend painting outside > painting inside with your kids. It was magic. Even if I had to carry a giant bag full of easels, canvases, jars, and acrylic paints up the mountain and back down again. 😅 #lichomeschool #charlottemasoneducation

I wish I had the energy to write something inspiri

I wish I had the energy to write something inspiring on this paper roller 😂 I just took all of this stuff down today as we pack up. The truth is, I’m going on week 3 of a sinus infection (my first ever) and we are waist deep in moving boxes. I’ve got Janet Lansbury on repeat over here so I don’t lose my marbles, but this has all been good for me. I’m the type who craves change and exciting things, and now all the things are happening at once and now I miss my slow + simple routines terribly. (Still have a tiny of energy for morning time and bread baking though!)

So while I’m in the middle of this transition I haven’t been updating the site as much. I’m due to share about our 2020-2021 homeschool year. You guys loved the “year in review” videos I did last year so I want to do that again. I also can’t wait to share what we will be using for G’s first official year of homeschool in the fall. We’ve done the preschool at home thing for two years now but she’s officially school age, and I couldn’t feel more ready! 💯

How are you doing? Are you going about your sweet life per usual or are you in the midst of some change or transition? Whatever the case I wish you rest. 😌✨

So ready to trade in my wool sweaters for my linen

So ready to trade in my wool sweaters for my linen sundresses all summer long! ☀️ ready for some warmer weather this week!

Also, if you spend as much time outdoors as we do, these @blundstoneusa boots have been faithful to me all fall + winter long. Can’t wait to wear them with my dresses in the summer. #hikingmom #larissawears

Have you planted any seeds yet this season? What are you growing? 🌱 ad

This year we are growing tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, spinach, beans, radishes, and we started a few flower seeds indoors, and they're already sprouting! It's been fun seeing them make progress each day.

This past autumn, I was thinking a lot about this moment as growing our own food is something we are slowly working towards. I've been using the @Vitamix FoodCycler FC-50 all winter long to store away some recycled food scraps to use as fertilizer once we transfer these little seed babies to our raised beds. The FoodCycler takes our everyday food scraps and transforms them into nutrient-dense fertilizer! It stores easily on our counter (just 1 cubic foot) and it's equipped with a carbon filtration system to help eliminate odors. The FoodCycler is also super easy to use and extremely convenient. With our outdoorsy lifestyle, we aren't inside very much during the day, so we run our FoodCycler in the evenings, and when we wake up, we have fresh fertilizer for our garden. Right now, I keep it in stasher bags in our freezer, and now I'll have a jumpstart for both our compost bin in the new house, and for our spring garden!

My baby turned three today. So many mixed emotions

My baby turned three today. So many mixed emotions! As her mom, it’s rewarding to see her learn, develop, and grow, and yet it’s so difficult to watch. She will forever be the squishy, snuggly bundle that they laid on my chest three years ago around this very moment. She smiled up at me, I kid you not, on week one and has been smiling ever since. She is still the happiest little soul, and just radiates joy wherever she goes.

She is still nursing... just once a day now and she still consistently makes her way to our bed each night. She runs up to me when she sees a stranger, and reaches for help when she’s hopping from log to log. Still, she can wash her own apple, get herself dressed, and memorizes our recitations at morning time. Growing so fast and still very much a little babe, so I’m going to soak in this year as best I can. I’m so happy that God chose me to be her mommy. 💓

Which linen dress do you like best? 1, 2, or 3? Do you own any linen items?

Today on my site I’m sharing four reasons to invest in a linen dress this spring/summer. I also share where I shop for my favorite linen dresses! You can view the post at the link in my bio. ✨ #larissawears

“I’ve come to appreciate the importance of the

“I’ve come to appreciate the importance of the many thousands of routine moments in a mother’s life, for it is in these moments that real greatness tends to be taught and caught... it’s the way I respond to my children in everyday moments that gives me the best chance of winning their hearts. If I have integrity and patience in the small moments of life that are so important to my children, and if I approach them with a servant’s heart, then I have a far better chance of influencing them in the larger and more critical issues of life.”
-Sally Clarkson, The Mission of Motherhood.

Who else sees a noticeable difference in your home when you’re able to really focus on your kids needs, big or small? (For me that means sometimes leaving the kitchen untidy to read a book, or choosing to put off work until bedtime to work on a special art project.)

It’s such a treasure to be with them every day and sometimes I grow weary, but reading @sally.clarkson’s words remind me that the grace and gentleness we show our children doesn’t go unnoticed. As my own children grow into toddlerhood and older babes, I find I really have to focus on this more. These small moments make such a significant impact. ✨ #lichomeschool

“A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.”
-Albert Einstein

I’ve really enjoyed the past few weeks as I’m trying NOT to do everything or be everything and instead just focusing on my family. As a type A personality, I can easily get caught in the productivity trap. Anyone else? Doing my best to only say yes to lifegiving things and choosing rest as we ease into a new season. 🌱

Getting as much wear out of my cozy winter knits as I can before spring hits! It was in the 60’s here last week so I had to change into a flannel for the afternoon. Which outfit would you wear? #larissawears
