Traveling with prAna

Traveling with prAna

LOCATION: Royal Gorge Cabins

OUTFIT DETAILS: prAna Foundation Dress || Sofia Chaco Sandals (newer style on Chaco.com)|| prAna Edie Hat

Over the weekend Bruce and I drove an hour down the road to escape our city & our home for the weekend. Every now and then you need those little getaways to really revitalize the soul! Work has been a bit crazy for both of us and Bruce currently cannot take off too much time during the week (plus we are saving those vacation days for some bigger trips.) I really want to talk more about the Enneagram here because I’ve loved learning more about it! I’m a personality test junky – hahah. I just love how learning about you and others really helps you relate better to friends & family. One of the things we discovered while learning about the Enneagram is that Bruce & I both thrive on vacation. He is a 1 wing 9 and I am a 7 wing 6.  So when we are in stress – we both take on the negative sides of the 1 but when we are at rest we both take on the positive sides of the 7. So when we are at rest (aka vaca) we are both enthusiastic, easy going, calm, and essentially thriving 😉

So I think vacation is good for everyone, but it is really good for us. Since we love it, value it, and it is essential for our marriage – we make time for it (and save money for it!) My 30th birthday was Thursday and my first Mother’s Day was Sunday so we planned a quick overnight Saturday – Sunday to celebrate both! We stayed at the Royal Gorge Cabins and spent Saturday at the Royal Gorge! Our Sunday was slow and included sleeping in, making brunch, and seeing dinosaur footprints! This cabin was STUNNING and Bruce and I couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful it was. It was perfect for the two of us. We made dinner at the cabin and watched the sun set over the mountain range.

I picked out a couple items from the spring prAna line for my birthday. I know they don’t have maternity, but they have 100% organic cotton and implements a lot of fair trade and sustainability values! (here is a link to learn more) They also make their clothes pretty flowy & roomy. This dress fits very differently not pregnant (see) but it also totally works as a maternity outfit. I wore this while hiking around the Royal Gorge and all day Saturday! It is so light & comfortable! If you are looking for some travel style shopping, you can save 15% off prAna when you shop online!

This week has been a hard week and I just wanted t This week has been a hard week and I just wanted to remind you that no amount of instagram scrolling is going to soothe your heart. The headlines, inspirational quotes, and commentary only pales in comparison to Truth. "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12) Go there. Read your Bible. Don't know where to start? Google a reading plan and open your Bible up. We need to be a people who hide the Word of the Lord in our hearts, who know Jesus Christ personally (who is the way, the Truth, and the life John 14: 6), and shine His light. The world needs hope, let's know it and let's share it!

Happy Epiphany! ⁠👑 ⁠ We're very new to the Happy Epiphany! ⁠👑
⁠
We're very new to the church calendar and the rhythms set up but I'm so thankful for them. Especially in this season of motherhood + C0vid when each day blends right into the next one. The readings, reminders, and patterns set up in the church calendar allow for reflection, education, and direction. It's always good to be encouraged to read scripture and fill our hearts with the Living Word. ⁠
⁠
Today is the first day in Epiphany which will go until February 16th when we enter the season of Lent. Today is also called Three Kings day and after a little research, we decided to celebrate by opening up a gift (these dresses!) and learning about the Magi who traveled from afar to meet Jesus to pay Him homage and honor Him as King & Lord. With a 2 -year-old and an almost 1-year-old, the comprehension isn't the most academic, but I wanted them (mostly Hilde) to recognize that she got a gift like the Wise Men brought gifts to Baby Jesus. And we can give gifts to Jesus too - like our praise! ⁠
⁠
Hilde wanted to wear crowns just like the three kings but we only have one crown so she picked these gold Minnie ears for Millie! Then we twirled while we danced and sang to worship songs together to give a gift back to Jesus. ⁠
⁠
As the girls grow, we will probably add in crafts and more activities, but it's also always okay to keep things simple. It is the heart that matters, not the presentation. ⁠
⁠
"Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land." - Psalm 95:1-5⁠

Do you celebrate Epiphany? Or follow the church calendar? 👇🏼👇🏼
