Motherhood is such a gift and there are so many mamas out there to celebrate from bio moms to grandmas to step moms to mother in laws to "aunties," and more. There's no better way to celebrate the moms in your life than with a classic American Greetings cards and pairing it with Lindt chocolate from Walmart!

Happy hump day ya'll! Halfway through another week Happy hump day ya'll! Halfway through another week! As much as I don't like being the one just looking ahead and waiting for time to pass ignoring the present, that's how I feel right now. Just counting down to making it through another week. We're waiting for land (please keep praying that a current lead turns in our favor 🙏🏻), waiting for a baby (and baby bump so I can stop being in this awkward is she pregnant or not stage), waiting for Brad's van project to end (he's so close and we can't wait for his evenings to free up again!), waiting for upcoming vacations, waiting for homeschool in the fall, waiting, waiting....

In the meantime I've just got my head down powering through. Works been busy. I'm tired, and it takes effort to even just keep up with laundry and dishes at this point 🤪 so thinking about and planning for all these things to come is overwhelming. Meanwhile I'm also trying to be really present with the girls in the evenings despite all this stuff looming. We've been playing board games, starting a garden, and of course reading.

How's life going for you right now?

Ever since having kids, I'll be honest it didn't seem like there were any that could keep up. But I'm happy to report this new deodorant from @toms_of_maine is doing the trick! It's a natural deodorant that provides 24 hour wetness and odor protection. I'm so glad I found something that works. And it has no aluminum! I have the cedar and vetiver smell and I think it smells like Christmas. #CompleteProtection #NaturalDeoderant

Welcome to my blog on everyday motherhood and family travel and outdoor adventures!

I'm Samantha from @samantharaisingwildflowers on Instagram.

I am blessed to be raising three "wildflowers" after years of infertility. Sharing and connecting on all things mamahood and mom life has become my passion. I am constantly learning, growing, and evolving on this journey of parenthood. One this is certain; I am determined to give my girls a slow, carefree childhood. We love Jesus, family, nature, travel, books, and laughing. We are not afraid to be different.

“[A wildflower is] a free spirit. Uncultivated by the mainstream. Independent thinker. Bravely growing wild and free in a world plagued by conformity.” – Urban Dictionary

“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other wings.” – Author Unknown

We would love to connect with you and have you along for the journey!
