So the other day Liv wanted her hair curled. So I was curling it for her. Dad walks in and wants to try this "curling hair thing". 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ swipe to see him in action! #ohio #ohiomom #parenthood #daddysgirl #daddyanddaughter #daddyanddaughtergoals #daddyhairstylist #momlife #instamom #instagram #happy #smile #pandemichairdontcare #instagood #bestdadever #dadgoals

Hope everyone had a great Easter! Of course it was not what all of us had imagined for this day. But we made the best of it! . My mom and dad (Nana and Pawpaw) came out to the house and hid Easter eggs in the yard for the kids. And left their baskets! We of course maintained our distance. The kids didn't quite understand why they couldnt give hugs.😪 . We joked with dad about doing a drive through dinner so we all could come pick up one of his home cooked Easter dinners. 🤣 He took us seriously and was going to do it! 🤣

Anyone know where I can get some sardine oil??? Asking for a friend.... . Don't tell me you haven't watched the Tiger king series on Netflix!? . It's such a train wreck, but it's like you just cant stop watching it! . I got one question for ya.... did she do it??? #tigerking #tigerkingnetflix #freejoeexotic #carolebaskin #carolebaskinkilledherhusband #trainwreck #bingewatch #whatdidijustwatch #isthisreallife #joeexoticforpresident

Honestly, I'm really enjoying this family time. We are normaly super busy. Dance 3 nights a week, voice and piano lessons, homework, work...etc.... . Now, we have no obligation to anything. Well, hubby works from home, but that's it. We are getting so much family time in. House is clean, laundry caught up, some house projects are getting done. . I hope we all remember how much all of this means to us when this is over. Be thankful for all the things we often take for granted! #momlife #motherhoodlife #mom #momsbelike #ohiomom #bosslady #momboss #momofboth #ilovemylife #instamom #instalife #letsmakethings #craftymom #inthistogether #tooblessedtobestressed #blessed #busymom #momonthego #tiredasamother #workingmom #life #love #instagram #family #instadaily #friends #happy #instagood #stayhome #inthistogetherohio

Unfortunately, I still have to make a trip to the grocery here and there. So I made myself a mask as suggested.. . If I gotta wear a mask it may as well be pretty and something I like, right? .

If most of you haven't figured out by now, I love to have fun and be silly. . . The other day I started yelling that the toilet in my husband's bathroom was smoking! He was running frantically to check saying what the heck!? Who do you call, a plumber or the firestation!? Until he saw what I had done.. . He laughed hysterically and just shook his head. He's used to my shenanigans by now. But we still love to have fun like this!. . Do you like to play tricks on people?

We have came together to ask our communities to PLEASE STAY HOME. . We are mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, wives and role models. We are small business owners, creators, influencers, stay-at-home moms, work-at-home moms, fitness guru's, homeschooling moms, and most of all...friends. . This is bigger than any of us. This is a global pandemic.  Humanity is being tested in ways that we have never experienced in our lifetimes. It takes everyone coming together to save lives and flatten the curve. . We challenge you to join us in this fight against Covid 19. . We are asking each of you to help us share this message across all social media. Post a photo of yourself telling us why you are staying home. #inthistogether #stayhome #flattenthecurve @thefoustlife @lisa.verges @jennschlender @momma_steed @themrsgreenhaw @sincerelyamberj @walkingonglitterandsunshine @klepaczbru @rhythm_of_yoga @charmyogadubai

Today we had the funeral for my grandpa. Last Tuesday he passed away. About 45 minutes before I arrived to say goodbye. . He was an amazing man. And I couldn't even begin to tell you all the wonderful things about him. What really sucks is that we couldnt even have a proper funeral because of all this pandemic. That church should have been packed with a mile long line waiting to see him. But sadly, only a small amount of us could gather. . He loved puzzles, so my dad told me to grab some of his. We just finished this one, and I picked this one for so many personal reasons. We got all the way done and 1 piece was missing. My son found it in the box and I just laughed and teared up. I said well that was grandpa sending me a message. I just know it!

This is 100% me. I am an acquired taste. This I know. I am not fake, either I like you or I don't, and you know this. I dont pretend. Life is short, dont spend it being fake. Be proud of who you are! Some people dont like me... and guess what...THATS OKAY! #momlife #motherhoodlife #mom #momsbelike #ohiomom #bosslady #momboss #momofboth #ilovemylife #instamom #instalife #craftymom #tooblessedtobestressed #blessed #busymom #dancemom #kidsmiles #kids #momonthego #tiredasamother #workingmom #life #love #instagram #family #instadaily #friends #happy #instagood #beyourself

This kid...🤦🏻‍♀️ the last baby. Well he has a problem with growing. Apparently he finds it optional. So we have to see an endocrinologist. Last Monday we had to go for a 6month check up. This guy grew a WHOLE inch! Well technically a little over and inch! And he gained 3 whole pounds! We are moving up!!! But not enough and slowly. But we will take it! Technically the absolutely lowest he should be is in the 29th percentile.....well we are in the 7th.... yes 7th, not a typo....🤦🏻‍♀️ his body does not make one growth hormone , but does make another so that is a plus. We reevaluate in 6months! Fingers crossed we keep moving up! #momlife #motherhoodlife #mom #momsbelike #ohiomom #bosslady #momboss #momofboth #ilovemakingthings #ilovemylife #instamom #instalife #craftymom #tooblessedtobestressed #blessed #busymom #dancefamily #kidsmiles #kids #momonthego #tiredasamother #workingmom #life #love #instagram #family #instadaily #friends #happy #instagood

I just bought these muslin swaddle blankets for a friend having a baby. Cant wait for her to use them! They are super lightweight, and durable. And the .multiple uses for them are even better!

Now for some parenting picture reality...🤣 . A few years ago my sis and I got our kids together to do photos. Great idea...right?!? . Wrong! The first picture is the best we got! Swipe to see the hilarious previous takes for this 1 good photo! 🤣🤣🤣 Still makes me laugh to this day. #momlife #motherhoodlife #mom #momsbelike #ohiomom #bosslady #momboss #momofboth #ilovemylife #instamom #instalife #tooblessedtobestressed #blessed #busymom #kidsmiles #kids #momonthego #tiredasamother #workingmom #life #love #instagram #family #instadaily #friends #happy #instagood #picturefail #reallife #familyphotoshoot

With all the new followers and friends, I figured I would finally do an "about me" type post!. . I gotta be honest, I dont have a "fake" social media personality. I am literally exactly who I say I am. I am actually this ridiculous in real life. I am a hot mess Express, and I ain't even ashamed of it. I couldnt make up half of the stuff that happens in our lives.. 👇 *I am a mother of 5. YES 5. 4 boys 1 girl *my husband and I have been married for 16 years this November *My husband has a full time job of course, but also is a Pastor. We have our own church that I help him run. *I also have a fulltime job at an Amish Furniture store (yes, the REAL amish custom make it all) *I also have a job taking real estate photos. *I also have my own craft business, as you can see from my posts. My page on Facebook is Momma_steed Designs. *all 5 of my kids dance, my older 2 dance competitively. *we love to geocache, dont know what it is? Google it! Super fun and free! * we love to travel *we have 2 giant Flemish bunnies, 2 dogs, 7chickens and 3 ducks. *of course that's only a tidbit about me, if your along for the hot mess Express I'm sure you'll learn more!🤣.. * I can honestly say I am a hot mess. Most days I'm not sure if I'm coming or going. My house is never spotless, my kids aren't perfect, and my laundry is never and will never be "caught up" I have no idea what I'm doing in life, and that's okay. I'm fun, I have some great friends, and I enjoy all the crazy chaos that comes with all of the above. * Tell me about you! #momlife #motherhoodlife #mom #momsbelike #ohiomom #bosslady #momboss #momofboth #ilovemakingthings #ilovemylife #instamom #instalife #craftymom #custom #tooblessedtobestressed #blessed #busymom #dancefamily #dancemom #kidsmiles #kids #momonthego #tiredasamother #workingmom #hotmessmama #love #instagram #hotmessexpress #instadaily #friends

Less than 2 weeks to go! Our first dance competition of the season! Tonight we should be getting costumes! . Yes, my son dances too. Actually, all of my kids dance. The older 2 dance competitively and the 3 little boys dance in a recreational hip hop class. . The level of confidence these kids gain from this is undeniable. I can day with certainty, watching my kids on stage is one of my most favorite things. . Here's to another season. Wish us luck! I hope they nail it this year! #igmamacrew #sweetmomcapturess #momlife #motherhoodlife #mom #momsbelike #ohiomom #bosslady #momboss #momofboth #ilovemylife #instamom #instalife #craftymom #custom #tooblessedtobestressed #blessed #busymom #dancefamily #dance #dancemom #glitter #kidsmiles #kids #momonthego #tiredasamother #workingmom #life #love #instagram
