Happy Father’s Day to the one-of-a-kind dad pauljdarnell who turns every sidewalk into an obstacle course, every outing into an adventure, and every moment into a memory. 🖤

Paul, you are the fearless, flip-doing, high-jumping heart of our family. Sage, Olive, and Milo are beyond lucky to have a dad who leads with courage, plays with full energy, and loves with everything you got.

Whether you’re leaping off walls on set or chasing the kids through the park, you show up ready to play! Thank you for being our steady wild spirit.

We love you more than words (and maybe even more than foam pits and trampoline parks 😉). #HappyFathersDay #SuperDad #StuntManDad #ParkourPapa #DadsWhoDoItAll 2025-06-16 07:26:18 Happy Father’s .. 62 -93% 4 -85%

Travel has always made me happy! Since a young kid. No matter how far just being in a new place is exhilarating! I feel honored to share that experience with our kids! We recently had the opportunity to explore bits of Europe and it was magical ✨
.
Travelling essentially rewires the brain with brand new experiences that are inherently more valuable to our happiness than tangible goods. In fact, according to various neuroscientific studies, the experiences that we acquire during our travels, build brand new neural pathways in our brain. This leads to us becoming more creative, adaptable, and accepting of new ideas, which in return, makes us happy!

We all lived to tell the tales.

Still can’t get my kids to wear their shoes. Blame it on healthy foot development 😉

Can’t believe next week we are entering 2nd grade, kinder and final year of preschool.

Life has started to regulate in its own in a beautiful way post shutdown ❤️🦋. Granted we have always been east coasters migrated To LA because I mean 🌴 (weather) + career (how is it not a win... 😉) aka family visits always required and encompassed effort. 
.
In many ways, this week or two is a turning point in the battle against COVID-19! Grandparents have been vaccinated and the reunion to the Wild West has been glorious! 
.
For perspective, Disneyland will reopen on Friday after being closed for more than a year.
.
We have experienced overwhelming excitement as we welcome grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins out to the west coast (after a year of dreaming of The glory days 🤷🏻‍♀️)! Life will not be the same but sometimes change can bring  the best out of us.
.
Slightly unrelated but fresh in my mind I really enjoyed listening 🎧 to the podcast ‘renegades: born in the USA’

A moment. ❤️ a precise moment in time. A morning moment of waking up to Easter baskets and egg hunts as parents to three 🐣; to an evening of toasting close friends 🥂 on getting married as a ‘care free’ couple. How all can change in a moment.
.
Enjoying our moment away and simultaneously missing our moments as parents. Life is known for being this funny conundrum.

Save this workout and give it a go before the weekend is over!
.
The body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health. This internal healing is supported by our connection with nature. Being in nature restores us, calms us, and gives us perspective. I have had such a magical weekend in Sedona embracing all the healing and calming powers these magnificent red rocks offer.

Workout!

20 plank jumps with shoulder tap

Sedona vortex. What is a vortex? Sedona vortexes are thought to be swirling centers of energy that are conducive to healing, meditation and self-exploration. These are places where the earth seems especially alive with energy ⚡️ Feeling inspired, recharged and uplifted ❤️.

Olive turned 5 yesterday 🎉🎈. 5 years of joy she has brought to our family and the best workout partner a momma could ask for👯‍♀️! Her strength is only out shadowed by the kindness in her heart💗.
.
You will never have this day with your children again. ✨Tomorrow they will be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Just breathe, notice, study their faces and little feet. Pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today, it will be over before you know it.
.
We could not love our Olive more 💜. Happy Birthday!!

Are you a woman? A wife? A mother? Or other?! Is other entrepreneur, soldier, educater. etc ?! How life would be easier if we could fit into just a single box. But we are complex beings that do no such thing.
.
Tonight the kids heard the most thrilling of bedtime stories, all truth. They heard 3 birth stories of babies. Hint hint... it was their own... (most obvi) and kid quote of the night ‘the best story ever’
.
Their minds may be blown, babies born from human (true!) But the realization mom and dad might be people outside the code name ‘mom’ & ‘dad’ 🤯”say what??”

Let’s chat discipline and consequences - 
Mr. Milo has been testing his limits and pushing this momma to dig a little deeper to keep her cool 🧘‍♀️. One of the most challenging parts of parenting is altering your emotional reactions to situations with an intentional response. Take a deep and hear me out… 
 .
Most of us are inclined to associate only punishment and consequences with discipline as a result of poor behavior; traditionally things such as spanking, timeouts, taking away an unrelated toy 🎮. But if you take second to think about what your over all goal is for disciplining it’s not to punish or give a consequence but to teach 🌟. As a parent, you want to encourage corporation from your child, help build their skills and create positive connections in the brain.
.
We want to be logical and naturally link our response to the child’s behavior. Natural consequences are the inevitable result of a child's own actions. Logical consequences happen as a result of a child's action, but are imposed by the parent. Such as helping to clean the mess, in my case have Milo scrub his drawing off the wall 🧼, or 3 nice things to help their sibling, etc. It is important to make sure that logical consequences are reasonable and related to the problem.
.
We want to be intentional about our discipline in a way that respects our children for the individuals they are and take into consideration our kid’s developmental stage and the context of their misbehavior.

Natural and logical consequence strategy:
* The consequence is closely tied to the behavior, and gives the child a chance to learn what happens when he doesn't behave in the way you expect him to behave.
* It separates the deed from the doer, it does not shame or punish the child.
* It is concerned with present and future behavior and helps children learn to be responsible for their own actions.
* It is done in a calm environment.
* It lets children make a choice.

The before and after life experiences together, aka kids! I recently read about marriage ‘that you never really grow together. It's more like one person grows a little bit and then the other person catches up and then that person might grow and then that person catches up, you're never just, like, along together, and it boils down to can the other person catch up in time?’ Ultimately the catapult of divorce in this statement.
.
I found this so interesting because I can see the truth in it but have experienced the opposite benefit of being pushed and growing and vice versa and growing as a unit. Yes we are 2 individual people but the connection, the love, the learning and continual transformation as we navigate this thing called life together is so profound 💗 diddydarnell.
.
I think the key is the communal commitment to growth! Whether simultaneously or not.
.
Thoughts?!

A whole new chapter 🌟. The transition of being a baby mom, a ‘big kid’ mom. The realization that my ‘babies’ are no longer babies has recently hit me like a speeding freight train 🚊. They are growing up so fast, and there won’t be another baby. That chapter of my life is over.
.
I spent a solid 5 consistent years in the baby phase trenches; 3 pregnancies in less than 4 years, at least 2 years of no sleep 💤 and endless needs. Day dreaming of no more diapers and full nights of sleep, beach days with no sand eating, kids that feed and clean up after themselves, and siblings that can play with each other ✨
.
And wow, somehow that’s moment is reality (minus all the cleaning up lol). 3 kids that sleep all night, get dressed, brush teeth, find some food, start on a morning activity, play together, etc. 🤯
.
I am faced with the finality of our decision and that can be a little sad sometimes. A door has closed for good. Though I know in my heart and mind that our family is complete ❤️and am so thoroughly enjoying these ‘bigger kids’
.
I will always miss the special moments like breastfeeding, my babies falling asleep on my chest or flashing me their first smiles. But I also celebrate the freedom that comes with older kids. I watch them grow and marvel at the people they’re becoming. It’s a whole new chapter in our story together.
.
Where are you in your motherhood journey??
