Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they experience years of generational trauma, but they stood in the face of the trauma and fought to say, "This ends with me." This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker. I truly never knew how painful and hard this journey would be when I started. I didn't know it would cost me relationships with people I thought would always be in my life. I didn't know it would bring so many tears and yet such joy and relief. If you are breaking any cycles for your family, big or small, I see you - and you are doing a great job. #breakingcycles #cyclebreakers #generationaltrauma #healingjourney #toxicchildhood #healing #northdakotamomma #ndmom #northdakotamom #midwest #midwesternmama

Healing your hurt doesn't mean forgetting the fire. We've all been there. The aching pain of trauma, the lingering scars it leaves behind. But here's the thing: healing isn't about saying "thanks" to the fire that burned you. It's about tending to the wounds, learning to live with the marks, and rising stronger than the flames. You didn't start the fire, but you get to choose how you rebuild. The responsibility to heal belongs to you, and while it's not always easy, it's a journey worth taking. Here are some simple truths to remember on your path: 1. Your pain is real. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 2. Healing takes time. Be patient with yourself, there's no "right" way to do it. 3. Reach out for help. You don't have to go it alone. Talk to loved ones, seek therapy, find a support group. 4. Forgive yourself. You didn't deserve the fire, but sometimes forgiving your coping mechanisms can be key. 5. Celebrate your progress. Even small steps are victories. Healing isn't erasing the past, it's learning to carry it with grace. Remember, you have the power to rebuild, to thrive, and to claim your own sunshine. ✨ Let's build a community of support and remind each other that we're not alone. #healingjourney #selfcare #youarenotalone

How do babies get so big so fast 🥺😭 The other day I lifted Camden out of his carseat and noticed that he's getting so big his newborn scrunch is basically gone 😭😭 With Carolynn being born in 2020 I felt like I was in survival mode so much and never really got to enjoy and focus on those small moments. I was so scared and anxious that I wasn't going to be a good mom. With Cam, of course, I'm still worried, but I also know that these moments go so fast and I need to take a moment to soak them all in before they are gone. How do you take in all the small moments and escape survival mode? #motherhood #mommoments #motherhoodera #newbornscrunch #babyboy #newbornmom #northdakota #northdakotabelegendary #northdakotamomma #midwestmom

I started my blog, The Undem Family Adventures, because I knew I wanted to travel the world with Shane. Last year, we booked our trip and headed out just the two of us. We decided we were going to try for one more baby to complete our family, and even though I took an early detection test before our trip, it was negative. Our trip was delayed because of a pilot issue, our luggage got lost, but we had an amazing time. We decided to journey over to Paris. Our luggage got there RIGHT before we wanted to leave, and I had flown with a few pregnancy tests. I was ABOUT to miss my cycle but hadn't yet - I was just hopeful I'd be able to know early. I asked Shane if I should take the test early before our flight and he suggested I wait until we get to Paris to find out - what's one more day? We ordered a bottle of really nice wine in Paris, and I got about halfway through my glass when I thought, this doesn't feel right - I think I might be pregnant and I told Shane. We were sitting in bed talking, and I decided I couldn't wait until morning - and well, you can see the results. Now I'm snuggling my almost 4 month old baby 🥺💜 Paris wasn't my favorite to visit, but it will always be where we learned Camden was on the way and it will forever be special to me 🫶🏻 Do you have any trips coming up? #Paris #parisfrance #eiffeltower #undemfamilyadventures #momblog #travelhacks #travelblog #travelwithme #wanderlust #vacation #vacationmode

I was so behind the ball with Christmas cards this year, so I sent them as general holiday cards instead. #postablepartner You guys, even if I hadn't partnered with @postable I would be telling you to go order your cards for every occasion because they literally made sending cards the EASIEST THING!! There's different options, but I chose to have @postable send my cards out for me. You can either text/share the link for contacts to upload their address or fill in addresses yourself, design your card for ANY OCCASION (hello birthday cards and invitations), select who the recipients are, and order your cards. With fun customization, you can create the perfect card and personalize the envelope, too! @postable saved me so much time and energy and no ordering extra cards you never send out! You can always go back into the address book and send more at any time. I soooo wish I had known about them when we were getting married between save the dates, announcements, and thank yous this would have been a LIFE SAVER. Use code: LEXIE25 to save on any of your card needs. It's not too late to send out a new year holiday card 🥳 #postable #gifted #cards #holidaycard #christmascards #weddinginvitations #sendinvites #birthdaycards #holidaycards #timesaver #momhack
