I remember when I took this photo. It was before I had kids, and I didn’t post it because “I thought my thighs looked big.” 🙄 I can’t express how hard I’m rolling my eyes now. That’s been a surprise gift of both entering my 30s and creating life. I have a different appreciation for my body now. I don’t expect it to be perfect, I don’t need it to be. But I do need it to be strong, appreciated and cared for. 💪🏼 Does anyone else feel this way? A new acknowledgment of the power of your own body? // #hindsight #loveyourbody

Swim picks are on CarrieBradshawLied.com and chit chat about the importance of investing in a chic coverup or sarong. 👏🏼💯 Some might say it’s even more important that the swimsuit. And when I say “some,” I clearly am talking about me. Just sayin.’ 😜 // #swimseason #coverupseason

Moving back to the South has made me embrace some things I hadn’t worn in years, one of which being gingham. Bring on the gingham. 😍 Particularly in midi form bc I forgot that I can’t wear things above the knee when I have two kids under 2.5. Too much leaning over and squatting down happening! *Noted.* // #ginghamdress #gingham #cblhome Will link similar styles in LTK app!

Hope everyone has a beautiful weekend - I don’t want it to end. 😩🥳💕 Have enjoyed taking it a little bit slower… and binging the first 3 episodes of The Staircase on HBO. Wow. WOW. I remember the documentary but it’s so good!! Who else is watching? // #englishfactory #colorblocking

Easter 2021 vs 2022. 🥰🐰🤍 Such a sweet day bringing a sweet weekend to a finale. Hudson had four egg hunts this week and now wakes up saying “EGGS! PINK EGGS!” so I think the celebrations really hit this year. 😜🐣 Tagged and linked my outfit - I hope everyone had a really special day. Happy Easter!! // https://liketk.it/3D5Ai #happyeaster #easter #cblbebe

Spring is showin’ off and I love watching little eyes explore. 🌸👦🏼👶🏼 As mom/Gangy always says, “bloom where you’re planted.” 🤍 That and “dare to be different.” 🤣 What did your parent always tell you growing up? I hope to repeat to my kids, “decisions determine destiny.” Got that one from @rachparcell’s sweet mom! Will link what I can in the ltk app. ☺️ // #cblbebe #mamasboys

I shared earlier this week that I’ve been using the app GetSorted to clean out my camera roll. It’s been a nice thing to do every now and then while feeding Theo because I can do it with one hand and feel both productive and efficient with that time. But MAN, going through experiences from 2-3 years ago and reliving that pre-pandy and pre-homeowner/family/move to Georgia life. Wild how so much can change so quickly.

Not necessarily for the better or worse… just for the different. People say “the days are long but the years are short” about being a parent, but I feel that way about life in general.

I’m going to post this article titled “the tail end” on stories that my brother sent me a while back. It will make you go 😱😭🤯🤯.

LOVE Y’ALL. Oh and also - the new website is live (also on stories)!! Enjoy your weekend!! Xoxoxo // #daysarelongyearsareshort #flashbackfriday #flashback

The last of the bump photos. 🤍👶🏼 It’s been a privilege to become a mother in the past few years, and you guys have told me “love doesn’t divide, it multiplies.” We all can’t wait for our hearts to grow. And more important than anything, I get to experience it with Christian. That’s my favorite part. 😭 Sorry for the sap - having a lot of feelings lately! 🤣😜 Truthfully, also looking forward to having more of my energy back so I can chase this one around. He begs me “hole you mama, hole you,” and when I pick him up he says “thank you, mama! thank you!” It’s worth the back pain. 😭💙// #cblbebe #cblbebe2 #mamasboy
