Welcome to Micaela Elizabeth where I’ll be sharing the beauty I find in the everyday.  I am a wife to my high school sweetheart and a stay at home mom to four kids between the ages of 12 and 6 years old.  I love Jesus, my family and sharing my creative side with photography.   I am passionate about eating healthy food that actually tastes good and have done a handful of Whole 30s.  Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring or a chore and I love to share simple tips and tricks to feel your best!  I love to connect and hear your stories too, so please comment and share if you try anything I have shared here!  I hope you will check back soon for more updates!

I kind of wish I could slow time down here and just watch the jellyfish. August is in full swing with trying to finish our summer bucket list before school starts in a week. August and May always feel like the craziest and most overwhelming months to me. So many beginnings and endings, schedules to organize, birthdays to celebrate and of course the daily to do lists. I am not sure what my kids spent more time doing- paddling on the hydro bikes or eating ice cream. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #summergoals Home. 🖤 It was a fun week, but there is something about coming home that is also so special. Looking forward to the weekend getting settled and going through the 365,765 pictures I took while we were in Minnesota. 🤪 This week has been our first ‘off week’ from summer activities and we are soaking up every minute of it. My favorite is little moments like this- siblings working and playing together and not because I made them but because they chose to. Here’s to more moments like this. 💙 Oh Penny. You are one crazy dog and it has been an adventure the past 8 months. My favorite thing about her might be her ability to lock onto a butterfly, firefly or bird and not. stop. chasing. it. It’s quite hilarious. Documenting those little moments when my kids still need me and sleep next to my bed because storms are scary. Those favorite stuffed animals they can’t sleep without and sleeping in past the first morning light because the night was long. These are the moments I don’t want to forget because the years are going by so fast. Saturday mornings, fresh coffee + farmers market flowers. Those all sound nice right now- 😏. Instead we have no coffee, no power and woke up too a mess of outdoor furniture and trash all over our yard from storms last night. Thankful for our generator we have for camping, it’s coming in pretty handy for keeping our refrigerator and deep freezers going. 🙌🏻 T.G.I.F. 🎉 Anyone else remember those shows on Friday nights?! Add some pizza and those were my favorite Fridays as a kid. We do movie nights with our kids most Fridays- and I hope they have great memories of them as they get older. Yesterday was his day off, so we took two of our boys and our dogs to the dog park. To say we all had fun would be an understatement. Watching these two dogs work was pretty amazing and muddy. Lots of mud. Out of focus fireworks may be my new favorite thing. I think they are so pretty from this perspective.
