Hi, I'm Kat. I'm a full-time stay at home Mom raising 2 spirited kids with my husband in Northern California. We're a homeschooling family and we love to travel, explore and learn together. Come along with us on our adventures!

Hi! I'm Roy, Kat's other half. You'll mostly see me behind the scenes- taking pics and chasing after our wildlings. We're happy you're here and we're excited to share our adventures!

I thought I was going to be the strict mom. ⠀⠀

I thought I was going to be the strict mom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Turns out I'm the "as long as you're not hurting yourself or others" mom. 😏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having a child with special needs will do that to ya! I've learned to pick my battles. Not everything is worth losing my shit over. The amount of emotional energy I spent over things that didn't really matter was exhausting. 🤕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being selective has given way to more peace in our household and I'm better able to serve my family as a result. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What type of Mom are you? Strict, lenient or somewhere in the middle?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We all slept in today and I'm not even going to tell you what time we got up.😂

Tell me all the good deals you're snagging! As for me, I'm taking advantage of my favorite supplements that are on sale! 😆😅

I'm wondering if the kids and hubs can wait until Thursday to have their next meal. Anyone else? 😩😂😂😂

We'll be hosting at our home and making all the things. Plus, some new additions like turon pie from @bahay_kubo_ko. Hit them up if you're local to Elk Grove and want to try something new!🥧😋

Tell me your plans for Thanksgiving. There's no shaming here so whether you plan on hosting or staying within your own household, that's your choice! And I'm here for it! 🗽

Friends, I'm hosting a Clean Beauty pop-up until the 30th. 🎉 Beauty Counter is currently 15% off sitewide. Head over to my bio and stories to get the link!

💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Last year, I started to switch over my beauty products to clean makeup. Makeup was the last thing I'd been dragging my feet about. I'd been eyeing @beautycounter for a while and decided to go for it! 💞

Beauty Counter restricts more than 1,800 ingredients from their products while the US only restricts about 30.🤮

These 2 products are my absolute faves! I use them every single time I put my face on.😚

🎶Do you know the way to San Jose? La la la la🎶

We had the most amazing time in San Jose! It was our first family trip to the area and it certainly won't be our last!

Santana Row is the best place to be and @hotelvalenciasj is the perfect place to stay. We had front row seats to all the action and I can't recommend it enough!

I'll be posting all the deets later this week to include activities to do with the kids. Stay tuned!

My favorite thing to make for dinner is reservations. 💁🏽‍♀️

Thanks to @ovejanegrasj for treating us to a fabulous dinner. This mama fully appreciates a meal I didn't have to cook myself.🙌🏽

Oveja Negras is located inside of Hotel Valencia, the only hotel on Santana Row. It was nice to be able to dine under the stars just a few steps away from our room. 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♀️

📽 Check my stories to see which dish was my fave!😋

Yeah, right! I'm a mom! 😆 ➡️ Swipe➡️

Lukas and I are enjoying the sights and sounds from our balcony. Having a front row seat of Santana Row is absolutely incredible!

The suite from @hotelvalenciasj is the perfect spot to people watch!👀🔭😆

Do you like to people watch??
