The boys got into some creating today. I'm particularly fond of this one by the Big Bear. "And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside." #linmanuelmiranda #happypride❤️💛💚💙💜 #loveislove #thekidsarealright #fromthemouthsofbabes #shinealightinthedarkness

Making the most of a slow few days before the busy summer arrives. On our hike today, both of the boys started off with tired, whiny attitudes, but within a few minutes we were racing each other down the trail. I'm so grateful to be a mommy to these boys. I can wait for all the wonderful adventures in our future. #boymom #adventuremama #chasingwaterfalls #summerishere #pnw #bestdayever #gowiththeflow #livingthedream #wearetheluckiest

I don't know how or why it is so easy to forget about the simple wonderful things that fill one's heart, but I just remembered another of mine. Camping with the kiddos is my new favorite (old favorite) place to be. #roomwithaview #campingisintents #boymom #adventuremama #lovemylife #wearetheluckiest #bestdayever

You know how sometimes you meet some people and no matter how far they go, or how long it's been, or how much life has happened since the last time you saw them, you just fall right back together like you never left? Like a cozy, silly, love filled puzzle with pieces that always fit? These are that. I'm the luckiest. #wearetheluckiest #stillcrazyafteralltheseyears #bff #sisterwives #makenewfriendsbutkeeptheold #boobsonyourshoulder

So excited about my cute little garden this year! A tiny little slice of delightfulness. There's nothing like sifting your hands through the dirt and tending to the weeds and crawling around harvesting yummies. It feels so hopeful and productive. The last couple of summers I didn't bother doing much by way of a garden, it felt presumptive to plan for a future when everything was up in the air. But I am savoring it just for now at the very least. #grateful #gardener #grow #green #gratitude #groovy #💚

Yoga in the woods yesterday, recovery in the woods today. Having a real good weekend over here y'all. Off now to eat some good food with my awesome Dad and put my feet up for a couple hours. I love my life. #recovery #getbusylivin #gratitude #wearetheluckiest #sobersisters #onestepatatime #trudgetheroadofhappydestiny #forestmakesitbetter #pnw #healing #sobriety #dowhatyoulove

Beautiful day at the office. #outdooryoga #yogateacher #wearetheluckiest #adventuremamas #pnwoutdoorwomen #pnw #yoga #onlyloveisreal #airbnbexperience

I don't know what this creepy crawly is, but I know he's been hanging on our park bench for several weeks because he comes to say hi to the Big Bear and I every time we visit. Speaking of the BB, this kid is on fire right now. He has lately become a big responsible dude all of a sudden, providing all kinds of help, and wisdom, and kindness, and proactive awesomeness. I am so grateful to be a mom most days, and so grateful that these guys in particular chose me to launch their little human-nesses. Yay boys, yay bugs. 💚 #naturefriend #boymom #gratitude #grateful #bebrave #bekind #betrue #thesearemymonkeys

Ok. I don't know what the deal is, but it seems I lost a day, along with most of my usual planning and time telling abilities, some time in the last week. I literally lived the entire day today thinking it was either yesterday or tomorrow, but never actually Tuesday. What the crap?! 😲💚🤦 "You think you're losing your mind, but do keep in mind, as long as you may, that the ability to go on thinking such a thing means it's not all gone." #crissjami #whereismymind #whereami #whatdayisit #whatsnext #whatelseamiforgetting #somanytodolists #newmoonmagic #timeforareset

Just to clarify, this sober yoga mama is still most gratefully sober and loving life. Just relearning lessons about certain someones. Over and over and over and over again. Let it go. Let it flow. We'll all float on! 😘💚 #letgoandletgod #theuniversehasyourback #onlyloveisreal #liveandlearn #trytryagain #gowiththeflow #naturelessons #pnw #ariverrunsthroughit #sobersister

Oops, I did it again. Luckily it would seem I'm already at phase three this time, so that's progress. 💚 #somethingsneverchange #alsopeople #keepmovingforward #recovery #grateful #repitition #easydoesit #progressnotperfection

Just heard that one of my students from Nidra last week was so relaxed that she made it all the way out the front door before she realized she hadn't put her shoes back on. 😁👍💚 I love my job. #relax #breathe #yoganidra #themagicisreal #chill #lakeside #restandrestore #selfcare #yogateacher

Sometimes the trail is little more than following the bent stalks. 💚 I've been having that feeling that happens to me with some regularity, usually just before the new moon. My inner critic gets really loud, and I start having all the doubts, even in the face of obvious goodness. The anxiety bubbles up, and I get that nagging "not enough" deflation in my heart. 💚 And so I tell someone about it, and she reminds me. And I trek through the forest and Ma Nature reminds me. And I meet new friends and they remind me. And I talk to old ones and they remind me. I am enough. I am right where I'm supposed to be. I am love and loved and loving. I am perfectly imperfect. 💚 I am right where I'm supposed to be. 💚 #keepmovingforward #nextrightthing #iamenough #rightwhereimsupposedtobe #green #💚 #adultingishard #wecandohardthings #onethingatatime #perfectlyimperfect #lovemylife #onlyloveisreal #pnw #allthegreens #whatstheplan

Happy place!💚 I wish I could go back in time and take 20 year old Sarah on a yoga hike. I wouldn't even tell her anything about how she could avoid the heartache or skip the hard parts or make anything "easier", because all of that is what got me to this. But I'd just want her to know what was waiting on the other side. 💚 #grateful #sobersister #recovery #movingforward #shirinyoku #healing #easiersofterway #nowaythroughbutthrough #keepgoing #forestbath #gratitude #greenheart #growwhereyouareplanted #intheenditwillbeok #ifitsnotokitsnottheend #yogateacher #yoga

Good morning mien liebchen! Mama has the day off today! Which, let's be honest will be spent on laundry and food prep and bookkeeping and planning. But I do get to have a massage! One of the perks in working for a small, family owned wellness studio. 👍😁 I might even take a nap. 😲 Photo from last night's #airbnbexperience of #traditionlake in #trailheadcity 💚 #wearetheluckiest #forestlake #reflection #clouds #summersky #forestframe #peace #freshairandsunshine #notabadwaytomakealiving #someday #movingforward #blessed #choselove #hike #pnw #pnwyoga #outdooryoga

Holy goodness overload! The forest is on fire with green. The sun was shining, the company was fabulous, the air could not have been more sweet and clear. First #airbnbexperience is in the books and my heart is full of gratitude. Lessons learned; 1. bring mosquito repellent, 2. mosquitos are annoying, and 3. if you have to deal with mosquitos don't face towards the sun, it's easier to see them all when they are backlit. 😂 Thank you to @sbckelly for loving me and always bringing cool people. 💚 And to @dondanville22 for going for it! Let's play some more. 💚 #pnw #allthegreens #forestyoga #forestbathing #pnwspring #springtime #springhassprung #seriouslytherearelikeamilliongreens #omshanti #justbreathe #hikingishealing #evergreenstate #nojoke #outdooryoga #lovethelifeyoulive #adventuremama #pnwoutdoorwomen #shirinyoku #trailheadcity

I'm so in love with this capture by my friend @allisonmonroephotos . Me and my littlest, cozy on a warm rock by a raging river. We were both tired from wonky, vacation sleep and lots of sugar. A little cranky, but with warm sunshine on our heads, the smell of pine needles in the sun, and the sound of water around us.💚 Beautifulest of moments, in the midst of the mundane and uncomfortable. Perfection. 💚 #bestdayever #boymom #brutiful #adventurekids #adventuremama #pnw #pnwoutdoorwomen #mothernaturerocks #getoutside #wowmama #thewaterissofast

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." #laotzu Wise words to remember when your four year old took a nap while you were struggling through standardized testing with your big kid and is still awake at 10:30pm and you are tired and could pretty easily start feeling sorry for your lack of veg out #Westworld time. Gonna go with the flow instead, snuggle up with the little stinker, and #readallthebooks until we both finally pass out. #letgo #gowiththeflow #wisdom #easiersaidthandone #boymom #allthetired #river #whitewater #pnw #illsleepwhenimdead #💚
