Meet Jelly Bean! 🫘 Our latest adventure vehicle Meet Jelly Bean! 🫘 Our latest adventure vehicle! Jelly Bean is a 2011 R Pod 177, which is teardrop camper small enough go be pulled by the mini van. She's tiny but mighty with a small kitchen, wet bath, queen bed and dinette that converts to a bed for the kiddos, she has everything we need for some camping and road trip adventures this fall. No, I am not going to all 50 states again this maternity leave 🤪, but we do have a few fun smaller trips planned. And also no this doesn't mean we are out of the sprinter van conversion business. It just makes more sense for us at the moment to keep our carrying costs low in case our dream land pops up. We'll be giving her a face-lift and hope to finish up by our Labor Day camping trip (yes I have a camping trip planned for the same week as birthing baby #4 🤪), so I am, sure you'll see more of her in the coming weeks and months!

Behind on sharing trip pictures. It's been a crazy Behind on sharing trip pictures. It's been a crazy two weeks, and I can't believe it's already been that long since our Disney Trip! I'll share more next week along with an update on my Disney blog talking about lightening lanes, Genie+ and making the most of a day at Magic Kingdom.

I've been out of the country traveling with hubby I've been out of  the country traveling with hubby for our 10 yr wedding anniversary (more on that later this month 💕) so Mother's Day looked a little bit different this year, but still so special for a late night homecoming to see my girlies after over a week away. Being their mom is the best thing ever!! #springslifestyle

Forever grateful for #cnyfertility for helping us grow our family. 6 year #transferversary for B&B (4/11) and of course Heidi had to join in (10/19 transferversary) and excited for baby sister to join the girl gang soon (12/21 transferversary). Dates forever ingraved in my memory as parts of our #infertilitystory. #thisismystory #niaw #infertilityawareness #weare1in8 #infertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #ivfsuccess #motherhoodafterinfertility #ourspringfriday #tninfertilityadvocates
#Sponsored Mother's Day is coming up and as always #Sponsored Mother's Day is coming up and as always this holiday is extra special for me as I reflect on all the years of waiting for this job title. 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! How are you celebrating the moms in your life? #StayConnected @amgreetings @lindt_usa @walmart

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!

Old school photo dump from our Easter weekend! Hop Old school photo dump from our Easter weekend! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! The girls made their first appearance in our church's Passion play and followed in the crowd after Jesus on Palm Sunday and Good Friday. Considering their deer in the headlights participation, I see this as the beginning of their path to Broadway 🤣. Then they were free to enjoy the rest of Easter Fest at church including an egg hunt, petting zoo, and face painting. Afterwards we took Grandma and Grandpa to Baxter gardens. Sunday was for church and meals with family and friends!
