  • Men shouldn’t be making laws about gay women’s bodies. Men shouldn’t be making laws about black women’s bodies. Men shouldn’t be making laws about trans women’s bodies. Men shouldn’t be making laws about pregnant women’s bodies. Men shouldn’t be making laws about women’s bodies. PERIOD. (And neither should Kay Ivey) More diversity in our political system can’t come soon enough.✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #mybodymychoice
  • Emphysema, lung cancer, and heart failure are all part of my family health history. I’ve seen firsthand the impact that tobacco use has on your health and how it has claimed so many of my family members far too soon. That’s why I have chosen to live my life tobacco-free🚭Because NO one is above addiction and it can affect people from all walks of life, so it’s important that we have open, non-judgmental conversations about tobacco use. And given that our🌈 LGBTQ+ youth are more likely to use tobacco than other young adults, it’s important that we as a community help spread the message that YOU are strong enough to quit! Thanks, @thisfreelife for caring about the well-being of our community, providing resources on cessation, and encouraging us to live our best lives! #ThisFreeLife #MyTFLstory #sponsored
  • After all our babies turned two and they were no longer ✈️flying for free, we were hit with the harsh reality of just how expensive it is to travel as a family of five. Even short flights from SF to San Diego add up when you have to purchase FIVE round trip tickets! Needless to say, we are always looking for ways to save money when we travel. And that’s why we love @turo! It’s basically like Airbnb but for cars!🚘 Unlike traditional rental car companies, you rent from an individual, giving you access to a host of super unique and speciality cars like Tesla’s, rare convertibles and even Winnebagos🚌! Of course you can also go with the more practical choice, like us if you have three kids riding in car seats😜 You can even rent your own car out while you are gone to earn some extra cash while you travel!💸How awesome is that?! Oh and did I mention it’s MUCH CHEAPER than renting from the bigger guys So next time you need a rental car #drivelikeaboss and check out @turo! Thanks @turo for sponsoring our sweet ride in San Diego🌴#sponsored
  • Our arms aren’t long enough to get everyone in the frame but you get the idea! 😂 We celebrated today with the 🇺🇸US Women’s National Soccer Team and realized very quickly that our zone defense parenting strategy wasn’t all that effective in a stadium environment🤪Luckily we had Micaela’s college soccer teammates to help us out! (Thank you girls!) It takes a village! And Happy Mother’s Day to all the mama’s, mommy-to-be’s, seasoned mothers and mamas in waiting. I hope your day is full of nothing but love! ♥️🧡💛💚💜💙

  • #ad When I was breastfeeding the twins, I always thought that things would get easier once we moved on to solids. One avocado in, I realized solids weren’t actually going to be all that much “easier.” And so it goes with parenting! Surprise around every corner and nothing really ever going to my plan. But this is parenthood! There are highs, lows, happy tears, and sad tears. Moments when I wish I would have explained things better and times when I feel like superwoman juggling everything seamlessly. Times when everyone is happy and times when I feel like I’m meeting no one's needs- including my own! With their new documentary on parenting, @WaterWipesUSA is sharing stories of four families as they navigate parenthood. It offers a fresh, realistic view on parenthood and proves that there is no such thing as “perfect parenting.” As a relatively new mom, it’s so refreshing to know that the ups and downs of parenthood happen to everyone. That it’s normal and I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. This is hands down the hardest job I have ever had to do and while it is the greatest privilege I have ever know, it’s definitely not always perfect. Check the link in my stories to watch the short #ThisIsParenthood documentary and join @WaterWipesUSA in ditching the idea of “perfect parenting!” #WaterWipesPartner
