live from my sofa, curled up next to my supermodel of a christmas tree, a heartfelt episode from me to you.
“help is on the way dear!” - the doubtfire moment i have been waiting for! oh it’s everything. in the internal inventory of the Great November Purge i found myself way too honest about how i cannot do mama, podcast, homeschool, baby life without help. a really vulnerable moment for the girl who has done it for eight full years without family or help. so here we are, snuggled in the end of the purge and into a season of PEACE. sweet, still peace of hope and newness. have a seat and let’s catch up on the plans for this community and for my own house!
i love you. too much. yep… forever. xoxo :::kb.

it’s the most wonderful time of the year at iKwB! the Great November purge is upon us! ahhhh the sweet sound of garbage bags full of donations and silenced cell phones. November around here means decluttering every nook and corner of homes and hearts. so come get cozy and motivated. it takes a village to simplify …and it takes two months to gear up for a new year. your pep rally is here!

i love you. too much. forever. xoxo :::kb.

friends we are living on a prayer and a few lighter topics this week. you know when you get a new love and you feel so just floaty… that’s how i have felt about y’all and what we are up to. this week we take time to focus and recenter. to fully know what we need and digest information slower. to anchor. to feel love and protected. not just in morning still but also in times of chaos. so snuggle up and qualify the ones that get to notify you. you are way too loved to be worn out. i am prayer walking y’all every second.
i love you. too much. forever. xoxo :::kb. 

as we wrap up our two part Good Grief mini series, i just need you know how deeply loved you are. all the heartbeats, here and Heaven, including me really think you are amazing. this life ((and this death)) is a lot on us friends but there is some slices of true love and connection to be made. let’s snuggle in and be honest and a little hopeful. a special return guest stops in to say “hi” and i share the last of my little bits around what Heaven takes. thank you from the bottom
of my heart for letting my lost loved ones live here in this space with us.

i love you. too much. forever. xoxo :::kb.

whew. a big ol heartfelt episode. hear me out, grief is a gift of ultimate learning and perspective. it’s unreal pain and growth all at once. it’s the gauntlet of human emotions. loss of love, someone, the idea of someone, it’s all in here. mourning.

this is part one of a two part ((maybe three)) walk through the hard, hard, hard stuff. loss. i am right here with you. especially in the valleys. stay with me, i have learned so much on this walk and i hope i can come along side you and really make you feel seen and loved and held.
i love you. too much. forever. xoxo  :::kb.

living now. easier said than done. staying present. easier said than done. friends, i firmly believe quiet minds produce really meaningful lives. we have to go slow. we can’t give into all the noise and all the madness- AND we. have. to. keep each other afloat.
our world is wired to make us want more, bigger, better, more post•able. the reality of what is beautiful in life isn’t on a screen at all. it’s the air, the breath, the hugs. what’s beautiful in life is actually the person reading this. get in here. let me love you. and let me remind you ((and me)) a little bit about what is true… living now.

i love you. too much. forever. xoxo :::kb.
