One Year Later

November 26, 2017 Halley1 Comment

When I suddenly realized this month marked 1 year into our wellness journey, I felt I needed to share my heart about this past year and how it has positively impacted our lives. One year ago this month Paul and I embarked on a serious wellness journey as a family and our lives have been… Continue reading One Year Later

Happy Birthday to my best friend and favorite person ever. . . My sweet Paul is one of the funniest and most thoughtful humans on earth. I love how he can write the most beautiful words in a song or poem while at the same time say something hilarious and out of nowhere without ever skipping a beat. His beautiful heart and his dry, witty sense of humor are my favorite. . . I love how he is funny and serious all at the same time. I also love that he is always willing to participate in our yearly family costume themes and ring around the rosie on the beach for family pictures. 😂He just does it and he does it with a genuine smile on his face. . . He is truly the best husband and best daddy to our boys and his two grown children. We love him big and we we are blessed to call him ours. . . Please help me celebrate Paul by wishing him a super Happy Birthday wish! If you know him, you should drop him a text to tell him Happy Birthday! 😊 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #happybirthday #husband #celebrate #family #besthusbandever #bestdaddy #favoriteperson #myperson #bestfriend #adoptionmadeusafamily #birthdaywishes #tilinsiders #theinstagramlab #instabirthday #birthdaywishes #birthday #husbandsbirthday #thankfulforhim #happybirthdaywishes

“Trauma-informed teaching is not a curriculum, set of prescribed strategies, or something you need to “add to your plate.” It’s more like a lens through which you choose to view your students which will help you build better relationships, prevent conflict, and teach them effectively.” @angela.watson . . A crash course on trauma-informed teaching! Go check out this article/podcast by @angela.watson ! Link in my bio! It’s a great introduction and an excellent reminder for anyone who is starting to learn and understand about trauma informed care. . . The one thing I have learned the past 5 years since being immersed in trauma informed supports, is the fact that I have to continue learning and listening and learning and then sharing what I have learned. If you are a teacher who understands trauma and who implements trauma informed supports in your classroom, please share and help be the change that needs to take place in many classrooms today. Trauma informed is not a buzzword! It’s a reality! . . I see the ship slowly turning and a shift taking place in the direction of trauma informed care and supports in the school setting. I want to encourage every teacher and/or parent to keep learning and seeking resources and constant reminders. Trauma sucks! I totally get it, but I promise you can be the one who helps change the direction of a child’s life this school year simply by the way you respond to your students, support your students, and connect with your students this school year. . . I know it’s not easy but I promise you it’s totally worth it! Also, remember to give yourself grace. We all need grace! ❤️ . . Comment below if you have any resources you recommend or Instagram accounts you to follow regarding trauma informed supports. If not, you can show some love by liking this post and telling me you are learning more about this topic .❤️ Tour support helps to get this content out and in front of more people. . . #traumainformed #traumainformedschools #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #teacherlife #tilinsiders #earlychildhoodeducation #specialeducationteacher #classroommanagement

“Knowing the upcoming fall fashion trends is great for any parent, but let’s be real, your child is cool regardless of what they wear, what brand of shoes they have on their feet, or if your child has the latest cell phone or a cell phone at all. What makes kids cool is who they are on the inside.” 🙋🏻‍♀️ . . I wrote a post from my heart! Guess what? All kids are cool! I hope you take a minute to check out my post. . .

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” – Mark Twain . . The night we were driving to Chicago, my aunt called to tell us that she purchased tickets for us to go on a tour before the game for Jackson’s birthday. During the process of getting tickets she met our new friend Anna on the phone. Anna works for the Cubs organization and she is an absolute gem who helped my aunt and helped make the day extra special or our family. . . I’m sharing this story because I think it’s a beautiful story about genuine kindness, acts of service, and character. Anna told my aunt that she wanted me to text her once we were at the game because she wanted to meet our family. Once we were settled in our seats I texted her and she literally came over and sat down with us and met the boys. She gave both boys the sweetest gifts and she literally gave Jackson a hand written note wishing him a Happy Birthday. We were completely taken back by her kindness. She went above and beyond for our family. . . I had the chance to chat with Anna for a bit and hear a little bit about her own story. There are times in life when we immediately connect with people and you know your paths were meant to cross, and this was one of those times. Anna’s love for the Cubs has been in her blood since she was a baby. She also quickly understood Jackson and how he responds in situations with people that are not as familiar. She was gracious, kind, and in my opinion completely represents what we the @cubs organization is all about. . . Wrigley Field is a place that is filled with kind and joyful people. I think in today’s world the most important thing we can be and model for others is kindness. Anna and everyone we encountered at Wrigley Field showed kindness and a true appreciation for everyone visiting the stadium. I think if more organizations followed the business model of kindness that we saw at Wrigley Field, the world would be a better place. #gocubsgo . . . Comment below and tell me something kind you did for someone else today or what someone did for you today. Kindness is contagious so let’s spread that stuff everywhere!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” —Mark Twain . . I hope I can continue learning to live life instead of talking about living it. Bucket lists are great, but they are even better when we can start marking those line item desires of your heart off the bucket list the same way we mark off our “to do” lists. . . Recently I read the following quote, “Fill your life with adventure, not things”, and it made me pause and reflect on what those words actually mean. Over the course of my life I have had a tendency to keep “things” that I did not need. I’m realizing more and more that keeping “things” and accumulating clutter keeps me us at home with constant chores to complete. I’m a work in progress when it comes to changing this, but we have made big strides in this area this past year. . . When Jackson told us that he wanted for his birthday was to see the Cubs play, I thought it was cute. Then we started to discuss the reality of this and decided why not give him that experience instead of spending money on a party and things. Best decision we have ever made! We enjoyed a family adventure to celebrate Jackson’s birthday and watch the Cubs play baseball. What a dream come true with family memories that will last a lifetime. I posted more about it in my stories and highlights. . . What do you have on your Bucket List that you plan to do next? Going on adventures and doing things together do not have to be big. We have so many opportunities to see and explore right in our own state. We just have to go do it. If you do not have a bucket list, start one. If you haven’t started marking those items off your list yet, go do it and start marking them off. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bucketlist #chicagocubs #chicagocubsbaseball #wrigleyfield #birthdaywish #happy7thbirthday #happybirthday #adventures #travel #familyadventures #tilinsiders #theinstagramlab #travelamerica #summeradventures #familytravel #tulsakids #instafamily #momlife #momofboys #tulsamoms

"And she loved a little boy very, very much—even more than she loved herself." Shel Silverstein . . Happy Birthday to my super energetic, funny, baseball loving son, Jackson Parker! I don’t know that this child of mine will ever truly know just how much I love him. I wrote a little note for Jackson this morning and one day I will sit down and share it with him. I decided to share a part of the note I wrote below. . . I did not get to hold you and rock you when you were a baby, but I will forever hold you and rock you now. I may not have been your everyday the first 2.5 years of your life, but I promise you I’m forever by your side now. You are forever chosen. You are forever loved. You are always and forever my little boy and I will always be here for you. I thank God daily for making it possible for me to be your forever mommy because of the beautiful gift of adoption. I love you forever! Happy 7th Birthday! . . 📷by the amazing @patsybrownphotography #bestphotographer #beachphotographer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #myson #myheart #momofboys #happybirthday #6yearsold #birthday #7yearsold #son #tilinsiders #adoptionstory #tulsamoms #tulsakids #kidsofinstagram #theinstagramlab #adoptionjourney #adoptioncommunity #adoptionrocks #traumainformedparenting #instafamily #foreverfamily #forevermommy #mybeautifulboy #iloveyou #mommyblogger #mommylove #mommyandson #birthdayboy🎉
