finding beauty in unexpected places🏮 ⠀⠀ we

finding beauty in unexpected places🏮
⠀⠀
we had a great trip to Houston,TX to visit my family in law, and we even got to do some fun touristy things with the kids thanks to @visithouston
⠀⠀
the girls loved the @childrensmuseumhouston which is the #1 children’s museum in the US according to @parents. they especially loved the 3 story climbing structure, and the challenge course!
⠀⠀
our other fave outing was visiting the @houstonzoo. i’m all about teaching my kids to love and respect Mother Nature and take care of the environment and animals, so we loved how lush and green it was, and how close we could get to the animals.
⠀⠀
i also have to note that the cafe in the zoo was beautiful, delicious and eco-friendly.
⠀⠀
Isabella is obsessed with lions so the fact that we got to see both the lion and lionesses move just a few feet away when they sleep 20 hours a day was incredible 🦁 ⠀⠀
she also got to feed a giraffe up close🦒 slide to watch the video and her reaction 🥬
⠀⠀
one of my resolutions for this new decade is to get back to traveling more with the kids now that we don’t need to pack strollers and cribs and all that gear!
⠀⠀
and flying was surprisingly easy this time. it was the first time we flew where everyone had their own seat, and we had a great experience with @united. we packed light and only had one small check in bag, and each of us had one carry on.
⠀⠀
of course we did celebrate Xmas again with all my in laws and Sofia’s 6th Bday so we ended up shipping a couple of boxes of gifts home 😝
⠀⠀
are you planning any #familytravel this year?

did you give yourself grace this holiday season? d

did you give yourself grace this holiday season? did you give yourself permission to unplug from social media, to be present and recharge?
⠀⠀
did you step away from the hungry content monster - the gram - and put your out of office on at work (if you work), and let it gooo?
⠀⠀
i hope you did and had a joyful Christmas, Hanukkah etc with fam and friends ✨
⠀⠀
i did and it was sooo needed. my stress levels were affecting my health, so i consciously put my phone down, wrapped up my day job for the year, and had the best Xmas ever.
⠀⠀
we did alll the Christmas-y family adventures this year and it was glorious!
⠀⠀
from the holiday train show, to cutting down a real tree at a local farm, to a private hayride with Santa, teddy bear tea with Mrs Claus, to Rockefeller Center, and holiday parties with friends, we focused on having quality family time and making #christmasmemories
⠀⠀
our treehouse became the coziest place on earth (smelling like a pine tree, cookies and the fireplace), i wove my witchy wand and it was magical and hygge AF🎄✨
⠀⠀
and if i wasn’t making money on the gram i might stay in the real world. but i’ve created a creative outlet with a revenue stream and a supportive tribe of friends here 👊🏽
⠀⠀
so this is not good bye but a shift, as i’m not going to be in growth mode for a while as i have some big plans for 2020!
⠀⠀
growth mode is how i got to 20k+ followers in a year, but it has to be balanced with create and nurture mode in order for it to stick and be sustainable.
⠀⠀
you need perspective to create goals for the new year. without a break you get caught up in an addictive cycle that doesn’t allow for strategic oversight.
⠀⠀
i’m going to share more about the growth-create-nurture cycle in my stories so see you there 👀
⠀⠀
for now put away your to do list, and just enjoy this powerful space as we enter a new decade with love ♥️
⠀⠀
as they say in German: #gutenrutsch ins Neue Jahr! Have a good ‘slide’ into the new year! 🛷
⠀⠀
PS. some #magicchristmas pics of our #cozychristmas day and eve at the treehouse 🎄✨

[ad] my sweet Sofia loves to create art. it’s he

[ad] my sweet Sofia loves to create art. it’s her favorite thing to sit quietly drawing detailed imaginative worlds and stories. i know all parents think their kids are talented, but she really does seem to have a natural affinity for drawing ✍️
⠀⠀
and even though she’s only five, i realize she’s passionate about it. when i showed her the @art.colourblock travel set with pastels and colored pencils i was gifted, she squealed with delight and clutched it to her chest. she literally did not part from it for days! she even laid it right beside her bed at night... it melted my heart ❤️
⠀⠀
do you have a child who loves to draw and create art?

we fell in love in NYC, and on 11 11 11 we married barefoot on the beach.
⠀⠀
we had our first date, and our first kiss in NYC. on the same night.
⠀⠀
💯 of votes in my stories wanted the scoop on our love story, and November is our anniversary month, so my fellow romantics, here you go:
⠀⠀
let’s start with our first date. (perhaps one day when i am ready i’ll share the crazy pre-story, and how i first heard his name in a fever induced delirium lying in a bed in Sierra Leone, sick with typhoid…)
⠀⠀
we had had a couple of meetings to discuss working together on a documentary for the UN… and then he invited me for dinner to his loft on a Friday night. let me cook for you, he texted. his loft?! on a Friday night? that is not a work meeting… that’s a date...
⠀⠀
so i brought 3 different fancy French chocolate pastries, and by the end of the evening, wellll, we kissed by the same vintage 1920 Woolworth soda shop barstools we still have in our kitchen now at our magical treehouse...
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
WDYT? shall i continue the story? and should i start planning a #vowrenewal so our girls can be the flower girls?

do you know what you’re meant to be doing with y

do you know what you’re meant to be doing with your life? (besides being a mom, if you are one?)
⠀⠀
do you know what your zone of genius is in this season of your life?

for me, being in a room full of mompreneurs who are pursuing their dreams, listening to inspiring speakers, and speaking about insta marketing is it. i love it! and i LOVE public speaking (even though i’m an introvert)!
⠀⠀
last time i spoke on a panel i was in a room with diplomats and politicians speaking about gender and security issues way back in one of my past lives when i used to work in conflict zones with the UN Security Council…
⠀⠀
i was passionate about fighting gender based violence and helping women build peace in war torn communities.
⠀⠀
and now that passion has evolved into empowering women, esp. moms, with building their dreams on this magic app.
⠀⠀
i feel like this is our time, and we can kill it on here, if we come together, and support each other.
⠀⠀
i’ve been blessed this year to meet a local mom and fellow influencer who is a firecracker, a dynamo, a beautiful woman inside and out, who goes out of her way to support and inspire other moms.
⠀⠀
thank you @pamelapekerman for finding me on insta, and inviting me to speak at your #hustlelikeamom event, and helping me find my speaking voice again. the energy at your events is HOPE!

i hit 20k and got my first mammogram💗 do i have your attention yet? i know we all scroll on by; but this is not about me.
⠀⠀
this is about her. the one in 8 women who develops breast cancer.
⠀⠀
i’m honored to have been chosen by @joliegotique to raise awareness about breast cancer in partnership with @breastcanceralliance.
⠀⠀
@breastcanceralliance is a CT based non profit focused on crucial early-stage research: they enable early detection and prevention, and fund breast surgery fellowships.
⠀⠀
i turned 40 this year so i requested a mammogram and ultrasound. it’s a choice i’m making to start early detection screenings rather than wait until it’s ‘required’.
⠀⠀
to see the cute back detail on this tee and get your own go to @joliegotique- $10 of each sale goes to @breastcanceralliance 💸💗
⠀⠀
if somebody you love is fighting breast cancer, please comment her name so i can lift her up in prayer and send healing vibes🙏🏽💗
