So true and its baby Mollys first birthday today. Grandbabies are amazing!!! #Grandparents #BecomingGrandparents #GrandparentLife #ProudGrandparents #GrandbabyOnTheWay #GrandparentLove #NewGrandparents #GrandparentJoy #Grandparenting #GrandmaGrandpaLove
True transparency! I honestly thought this would be a time of celebration but the silence is deafening…. the dinner table is empty…. and our butts haven’t seen bleachers in months. Don’t wish each phase away! #emptynestlife #middleagemama #midlifecouple #EmptyNestAdventures #MiddleAgeJ #MidlifeLove #EmptyNestVibes #LifeAfterKids #MidlifeMagic #EmptyNestGoals #MiddleAgeVibes #MidlifeAdventure #EmptyNestHappiness #MiddleAgeBliss #MidlifeEmptyNest #EmptyNestChronicles #MiddleAgeJoy #MidlifeCoupleGoals #EmptyNestExplorers #MiddleAgeInspiration #MidlifeHappiness #EmptyNestLifeGoals #MiddleAgeAdventure
This man is the real deal! Thankful for him!! Unwavering support and unconditional love! #MidlifeLove #EmptyNestLife #SecondChapter #MidlifeJourney #MidlifeAdventures #EmptyNestHappiness #MidlifeRomance #NewBeginnings #EmptyNestBliss #midlifemagicandmates
But here’s three things that we are working on. 1. Make peace with the job you did. Were we perfect? No. But we did the best we knew how. Remember the sacrifices you made and the fun times together. Give yourself grace for the things that weren’t so perfect. It’s okay. 2. Let them soar and celebrate their successes. Allow them the grace to make mistakes, which they will. Don’t compare your children to other people’s children. Remember what you see on the outside isn’t a full picture of reality. Tell your kids you’re proud of them and make sure they know how much you love them unconditionally. 3 Cultivate relationships. The demands of raising families often leave us with little time to spend with friends. Be bold and make the first move. It’s never too late to begin friendships. We need to laugh. Work on your relationship with your spouse. Chances are it needs a little watering too! #EmptyestLife #UsAgain #NewChapterTogether #EmptyNestAdventures #RediscoveringUs #EmptyNestourney #FreedomToExplore #EmptyNestLove #EmptyNestGoals #CoupleTime
Unfortunately the party isn’t nearly as fun as we thought it would be. The fridge is full…..the house is clean….the budget is down….but the quietness of the house is deafening and we miss the hustle and bustle of all the activities. So proud of my kids but I sure do miss seeing them everyday! #MidlifeLove #EmptyNestLife #SecondChapter #MidlifeJourney #MidlifeAdventures #EmptyNestHappiness #MidlifeRomance #NewBeginnings #EmptyNestBliss #MidlifeMagic
It’s almost Valentines Day so let’s see if he makes the same mistake. #ishouldhaveboughtyouflowers #ValentinesDay #couplescomedy #middleage #midlife #emptynesters
Feeling like the luckiest Lolli and Pops. Thank you @Ivy City Co for the most amazing matching outfits! So cute! Check out their dresses! The best ever! #grandparents #emptynesters #lollipops
Oh my heck! It’s been 2.5 years since we moved and I miss that place. So many cool things and the memories we made there are priceless. #thisoldhouse #dumbwaiter #emptynesters #yamhilloregon
We tried! I didn’t even notice our cute Maggie in the background watching :) #couplescomedy #marriedhumor #balancedcouple #midlife #middleage #emptynesters
Thank you to those who have been here since the beginning and to those who found us along the way. Some days are harder than others to block out the negativity but kindness always wins! Thank you for your kindness, love, and support! You never know how you can impact someone’s life even online. You fill my cup each day and fuel the confidence and belief that I am worthy, loved, and enough. Thank you! #influencerlife #middleagemama #healthtransformation #thankyou #emptynesters #oregoncouple
I’m not sure if it’s getting any easier being an empty nester. Some days are harder than others and some moments are filled with tears. Raising a big family was a huge challenge for me but the memories and moments of mom life are priceless! Im so incredibly proud of them but i miss them like crazy! #emptynesting #momlife #EmptyNesters #midlife #raisingabigfamily
