We live remotely in the Beartooth Mountains and are lucky to call this slice of heaven home. There are many businessmen and women who work remotely. It can be very challenging and isolating, but you can’t beat this bus stop!! I want to know about YOU!! How do you balance family, work and finding time for yourself? Do you have home offices as well? #mountains #montana #redlodge #mountianlife

Necessity is the mother of invention and mamas have invented many products out of necessity. I started Medikids out of a need for safe medical ID for my daughter who had 3 open heart surgeries following her birth. Working with @easter_seals families I saw a huge need for specially designed products that hold medical equipment and all the other items parents need and invented clips to attach our bags to wheelchairs or strollers! Our company partners with coordinate entities to bring products to those in need. Part of our mission is to help where we can. Cheers to ALL the women who invent, take risks and give back!! #inventor #invent #create #design #womenempowerment #women #womensupportingwomen

Keeping it #real mamas…when our kids leave the house looking like picture 2 and end up looking like picture 1. It used to bother me when Lily would come home from school looking like she lived in the woods alone, but then I realized what it meant was that she had a fun day playing hard. In the world of social media it is too easy to compare our lives, our children, our bodies to the ‘perfect’ images we see. That isn’t reality…reality are the scars, messes, muddy shoes, happy smiles and love we have. ?we are enough as we are. ⭐️our children are enough as they are. ⭐️you don’t always have to ‘do your best’ it is healthy to just be ⭐️don’t expect your life to be perfect or your kids to be perfect…it is okay to be perfectly imperfect… #momlife #mamas #keepitreal #messy #children #parenthood
