It's Good and True

Hello! I'm Jacqui

Welcome to my blog. I'm a California transplant living in Minnesota with the love of my life and our sweet bundles of joy.

Happy Friday! Introduction time! I’m Jacqui, wife to bearded, winter-loving man. Our favorite pastimes include: eating jalapeño poppers at an alarmingly fast rate, discussing issues while standing in the kitchen past our bedtimes, and pausing historical dramas to look up potential inaccuracies. As parents we aim to be honest with our children about a lot of things. So I shouldn’t have been surprised that today our son asked me- after seeing my pregnant friend- if he could be present when said friends child was “coming out of the womb”. Perhaps we have another doctor in the family of the OB variety 👨🏼‍⚕️ But seriously, can I come @sheavolson?

Current reads. How about you?

Pulled 30lbs around for 45 minutes, and ran a block of that through deep snow. Counting it as today’s cardio. Edited to add, I also shoveled snow for 30 minutes 👌🏼

Good thing daddy was following behind us ❄️

Hi! I finally got snow pants! Only took me 11 years.

Throwback to that one time I didn’t have a poodle skirt for my kids school Sock Hop so I pinned my hair up, tied a bandana around my head and wore gold hoops because #goldhoopearringsarelife

I walked into the kitchen as Ian was rolling the last coat of paint and I cringed. I told him I think I hated it. And I hated that he had put some much time, effort and money into it. With an already tight budget, I feel like there is no room for mistakes, and that fear of failure is paralyzing. I remembered this table runner I had tucked away in a drawer. My parents purchased it from an elderly woman trying to sell the last of her goods on the streets of Zacatecas late at night. I held it up against the pinker-than-I-anticipated walls. This will work. This is all pretty jumbled. I’ve just been sitting in a position of gratitude lately. We have a warm house, and clothes, and food, and a steady income. Sometimes I just need the reminder to get over myself. The grass is green, even if it’s hiding under several inches of snow.

Finally 👏🏼 picked 👏🏼 a 👏🏼 color 👏🏼 I went with @sherwinwilliams Nearly Peach. It’s a soft, warm blush. I’ve only painted 1/8 of the room, but it’s already so much brighter 😍 #nearlypeach

That hot cocoa life ☃️
