My dinosaur obsessed son is so happy that SUPER DINOSAUR by @skyboundent is now on @amazonprimevideo! To celebrate we spent an afternoon at @NHMLA learning about dinosaurs and other animals 🦕🦖 ⁣
⁣
At 3 years old, he can name more dinosaurs than I can- I’m so impressed! I also enjoyed learning about the rich history & cultural diversity of LA. There’s truly no other place like it. ⁣
⁣
We are spending quality family time this weekend- how’s your weekend? Scroll for more photos from the museum @SkyboundEnt @spinmaster

This picture was taken right when I turned 12 weeks in my pregnancy when I finally began seeing the light at the end of the morning sickness fog. ⁣
⁣
I still find it unfortunate that so many pregnant women feel like they can’t share the news and ask for extra support when they need it the most because the first 3 months of pregnancy is such a confusing and complex time. ⁣
⁣
Just because a woman isn’t “showing” doesn’t mean she is any less pregnant or needs less support. We need to be there for all pregnant mamas whether she is 4 weeks or 40, on her first or 4th child because carrying and making a baby is SO MUCH WORK!🤰🏻⁣
⁣
An app tells me I just entered my 3rd trimester yesterday. I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy is going. I have so much to prepare for this baby, she is my 4th but it’s like starting all over! ⁣

I can’t believe I have all my childhood #HappyMeal Toys right in front of my eyes while eating a Happy Meal with my own daughter! Thanks to @McDonalds 40th Anniversary Surprise Happy Meal, I’m taking a trip down memory lane with my child. (#ad)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
From today Nov. 7th to Nov 11th, you can get your own throwback Happy Meal toys from the past four decades. Some of my favorites include Hamburger Changeable (1987), Power Ranger (1995), Space Jam Bugs Bunny (1996), My Little Pony (1998), Furby (1999), Tamagotchi (1998), Mickey’s Sorcerer Apprentice (2002) and Hello Kitty (2013). My daughter asked what a Tamagotchi was and I told her it was the most iconic toy pet of my generation. My 3 year old thinks it’s a phone! 😂⁣
⁣
Check out my instastory for all the throwback toys in the 40th Anniversary collection and don’t miss your chance to get your own at a participating @mcdonalds while supplies last. *Only one toy included in each Surprise Happy Meal purchase. #mcdonalds #happymeal

The hardest part of choosing a perfect family vehicle is having to prioritize convenience over style. (#ad) This is perhaps why so many people who swear they’ll never drive a minivan end up buying one as their family grows, myself included.⁣
⁣
After driving @hyundaiusa Palisades for a few days, I no longer feel like I have to make sacrifices because it contains both the practicality of a minivan with the style of an SUV. We took it for a drive along the beach during sunset and my kids loved it! Swipe for the video of #myPalisade by the beach and don’t miss my Instastory Highlights for my favorite features of the car! #HyundaiPalisade

⁣⁣⁣
“How many months are you?”⁣⁣⁣
“How are you feeling?”⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
These days its the kindness of strangers and unexpected texts and gifts from friends that remind me to celebrate my 4th child. I’m thankful for people who remember me and this baby even as I’m forgetting myself…and they probably have no idea how much their random acts of kindness mean to me. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Yesterday a mom who lost her 16 year old daughter to cancer came up to me and told me I look beautiful with my baby bump. I was feeling really tired and achy at the time and she instantly replaced my exhaustion with gratitude. Despite her pain and loss, she has so much love to give. She even founded @letitbemoments and is honoring her daughter in heaven by helping more families. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Later a friend who is battling thyroid cancer wrote me a thank you card in the most beautiful calligraphy. She is fighting a hard battle for herself and family but her heart is still full of gratitude and generosity.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
These days I’m learning that the most generous and kind-hearted people are those who have their own battles to fight. They don’t just sit back and wait for their next opportunity, they know how to seize the moment and spread kindness & love wherever they go, whenever they can. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
As November- a season of harvest and gratitude- unfolds, I’m truly grateful for these women in my lives. Thanks to them, I’m reminded to count my blessings and continuously give to others. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
No matter what battle we are fighting today, we are all blessed beyond measure and there’s always room to give. There’s no other perfect time to be give to others, the perfect time is NOW. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I may be having trouble remembering my pregnancy timeline, but this is one key lesson I don’t want to forget this season. 🍂#week27 #thankful
