Saturday was for ME✨

@the.organimama announced she was doing a Organibabe Social and I was SO STOKED!!

Literally everything about it was so well thought out and organized. It started with a group workout of about 50 women and a few babies. I was definitely not expecting to be SO sore the next day but 😅😅

Then we moved to the social and y’all I met @baclawyer in line looking at Crunchi makeup and we basically became bffs for the rest of morning. In line for coffee we met @hollymcinerney11 and we formed the best little trio. So thanks Kristen for new friends🥰

Anyways, I came home with a bag full of amazing products, the comfiest crewneck, and new friends ✨

Sam told me I was glowing when I got home. Best compliment going into the final countdown before he leaves for Basic training in 18 days….mamas cup was filled💜

Homeschool year 2026-2027 is here!!!

My oldest is 5.5 and is in first grade! This isn’t everything I have for her but it’s where we are starting! Trying to ease back into it after a break and find what works for us.

My middle is 3 and has been asking to do “homeshmool” for so long. So, this year I’m adding in fun things for her to do with her 2 minute attention span 🤣

Honestly, last year I wasn’t the most consistent so I’m excited to make it into routine this year. That’s exactly why I’m getting my shit together because my kids deserve the best from me 💜

This year brings BIG changes for us with daddy leaving in 3 weeks, a new co-op, and a move…but I have faith in me and our Creator that we will all come out of this year ON TOP✨

This is exactly why I’ve felt such a strong need to get my shit together lately.

I deserve to actually become the woman I know I’m capable of being instead of convincing myself that starting over every Monday is eventually going to get me there.

But maybe “getting my shit together” isn’t about finally becoming disciplined enough to do everything.

Maybe it’s learning to build a life that normal-capacity Ashley can actually maintain.

Because five years from now, I don’t want to still be preparing to become her.

I want to have spent five years practicing being her.

30 days…That’s how long until my partner leaves for Basic Training.

He’ll be gone for 10-13 weeks, and I’ll be solo parenting our 5, 3, and 1-year-old. I’ve been trying so hard to remain positive, but the closer it gets, the less equipped I feel to handle the stress.

Today I spent hours at the park talking with a friend while our kids played, and it was exactly what my heart needed. We talked a lot about how life is really out of our control, and sometimes you just have to give it up to God because it truly is all in His hands.

So tonight, instead of stressing over this kitchen mess, I danced it out for exactly one song… right before someone had a meltdown. 🫠

I think we definitely need more dance parties around here. 💃✨ by @sunflowermaama

Day 24 of getting my shit together before my partner leaves for Basic Training.

And this morning actually felt like a win!!

My alarm went off at 6:30, and for once, I didn’t get back in bed!! Already a win for the day!

The baby woke up with me, so my morning didn’t go exactly how I pictured it. But I read my Bible passage and was heading out for a walk when my oldest woke up.

Instead of feeling like my quiet morning was ruined, we went for a one-mile walk together before anyone else was awake. Honestly, that was the best start to the day. Outside time with my babies watching the sunrise.

I’m starting to realize that getting my shit together isn’t going to look like having the perfect routine every day. It’s adapting my mindset around what I can do with the time I have ✨

I am notorious for making dinner harder than it needs to be…

5pm rolls around, nothing is thawed, three kids need seventeen different things, and somehow I’m supposed to magically produce dinner?!?

With 35 days until my partner leaves for Basic Training, that’s one thing I want to change.

So tonight I doubled the dinner recipe. One for now. One for the freezer!

Just one less dinner Future Me has to figure out when I’m solo parenting and it’s been A DAY.

I’m starting to think getting my sh*t together might have a lot less to do with becoming more disciplined and a lot more to do with building systems that make our life easier.

Getting my shit together means feeling good in my body and my routine definitely needed some help!

Would you let AI give you a glow up?

That’s exactly what I’m doing and the first tweaks got me feeling fabulous ✨

Day 17 of getting my sh*t together, but honestly, Day 4 of actually making progress. When I realized my usual routine wasn’t cutting it for this reset, I turned to ChatGPT. I spilled all my hopes, dreams, and hardships, and it gave me a step-by-step roadmap to prep for solo parenting my three kids.

With 40 days on the clock until he leaves, I am beginning to panic!! I need to get it together pronto!

Hit follow to see if this AI life coach experiment actually keeps us afloat!!

Year after year I’ve told myself “this is my year I get my shit together” and I’ve definitely made some small changes but nothing lasting.

I’m not the mom or woman I want to be….

And that ends now! I’m giving myself one year to map out getting my life back on track.

Tag along to watch my glow up ✨

This is how I’m mapping out my days!

☀️ GREAT DAY
Bible time and full workout before the kids wake up
Breakfast together
Homeschool
Outside/play time
Lunch
Nap/quiet time while I spend time on a hobby…not cleaning time!
Home tidy together
Dinner
Family walk
Prep for tomorrow once kids go to bed

🌤️ GOOD DAY
Shortened Bible time
Shortened workout
Homeschool
Healthy meals but maybe grab n go
Get outside
One home reset
10–20 minutes for myself

🌧️ JUST MAKE IT TO BEDTIME DAY
Feed everyone
Get dressed
Connect with my kids
Move my body for 10 minutes
Take 10 minutes for myself even if it’s right before bed
Go to bed

Because I know myself.

If my definition of a “successful day” is doing everything perfectly, one bad morning can turn into me saying screw it to the entire day.

I’m trying to learn that doing less on a hard day isn’t quitting.

The goal is to keep showing up. 🌻

Today I faced one of my biggest fears…the dentist. 😭

And not even for a cleaning. I had to have a tooth pulled. A tooth that has been bothering me for a few years now.

Honestly, I’m embarrassed even typing that.

But apparently part of getting my sh*t together is taking care of the things I’ve been avoiding because I’m scared of them. So I’m counting it.

Getting my sh*t together isn’t looking quite as put together as I imagined it would.

But maybe that’s the whole point...
