In my camp director era…. My new favorite look of the summer and one of my favorite roles…leading women in the outdoors.
Why is it that a girls trip always does the soul good??? Maine is definitely the destination for the ultimate girls trip! #LLBeanAmbassador #visitmaine #mainelife #freeportmaine #visitfreeport #outdoorwomen #outdoorretreats #exploremaine #BeAnOutsider
This is what an L.L. Bean retreat is all about ….trying it all! We had a blast trying all the different outdoor activities the Outdoor Discovery Program has to offer. Glamping on the water made this retreat even more magical. Women making time for their own adventures is what this is about. We made new friends, enjoyed many laughs, enjoyed the beauty of Maine and the great outdoors.
We have been told “you only have 18 summers” so I’m sure there are many of us who feel that pressure to be perfect moms and create the perfect summer. But it isn’t about the 18 summers. I want my kids to come back even when those summers are over. I want them to want to continue creating memories with me. So use this time to focus on what matters! It’s the connection with them. Use the time for the little things because that’s what they will remember the most. Yes the vacations are great and you should totally do them, but they will remember most those lazy summer days just talking, listening to them, learn about the people they are becoming. That’s what fosters the connection. I want way more than 18 summers with these kiddos!! #realmotherhood #morethan18summers #familysystems #motherhoodjourney #raisingresilientkids
Travel Hack if you love hiking on your travels! #LLBeanAmbassador #BeAnOutsider I love taking a backpack for hiking and even for going around the city when I travel but I hate using is as a personal item on the plane. I can’t fit enough for find anything when I’m on the plane and need more storage. So when I saw the Stowaway Day Pack from @llbean, I knew this could solve my problem. It packs down into itself and I can throw it in my carryon or personal item and then use it when I’m traveling around the destination. It’s big enough to fit a water bottle, jacket, snacks, first aid and even some souvenirs you might pick up along the way!!! We each took one on our trip to Scotland and even Ruby loved hers and brought some toys to entertain her. Our hikes were more comfortable because we had backpacks and they weren’t bulky or hard to take around. We will definitely be using them on our next adventures!!!
#LLBeanAmbassador #BeAnOutsider The outdoors always looks good on Ruby!!! I was hesitant to take her on this trip. She has never travelled international or done long flights. I worried we wouldn’t have energy to do everything we wanted to. I worried everyone would hate us on the tour groups and Ruby’s noise would bother people. Once again, I was wrong. Ruby doing what Ruby does best-breaking barriers and showing us that she can.
This time we got to take the kids and they fell in love as much as we did our first time to Scotland. Would you like to visit? What questions to do you have about visiting Scotland with children??
I’ve partnered with @getwelly to get you prepared for some adventures this summer. #ad As a nurse, I love being prepared. And if you have kids, bandages and first aid are a priority. This cute tin from @getwelly has several first aid supplies that you can pop in your purse, backpack or car. You can even reuse the tin to refill with supplies! These flex fabric bandages keep the germs and dirt out and let the good times continue!
Happy Graduation to me!! To my husband, my beautiful children, my family, my coworkers and classmates that got me through the past 3 years. I am so grateful. Now let’s help others with their mental health!!! #pmhnp #dnp #graduationday🎓 #graduation2024 #doctorate
#LLBeanAmbassador #BeAnOutsider It’s Boat n Tote season and a great gift for anyone special. I had to say thank you to my preceptor that I have worked with for over a year that taught me how to be an amazing nurse practitioner. I filled it with some of her favorite things and put them in a tote that was her favorite color. She has always wanted her own Boat n Tote so I knew it was the perfect way to say thank you. Have you ever received a Boat N Tote as a gift???
49 trips around the sun celebrating one of the most amazing sunsets in one of my favorite National Parks! This park has incredible views, beautiful sunsets, solitude, and sledding in the sand. I knew I wanted to spend my birthday in a place I loved with people I love. Taking time to be in nature really brings me joy. What National Park would you spend your birthday in???👇🏼 I want to know!👇🏼👇🏼 #LLBeanAmbassador #BeAnOutsider
World Down Syndrome Day and we are here to celebrate. We understand that our experience isn’t everyone’s experience but we do believe that everyone with Down syndrome should be celebrated. That extra chromosome brings a lot of beauty and adventures and we are here for the ride!! #321 #worlddownsyndromeday #worlddownsyndromeday2024 #trisomy21
