Amy Paffrath Instagram - 11 years ago we had the most beautiful wedding day in Key West @drewseeley 💒

A marathon day of celebrations with friends and family on a tropical island and aboard a cruise ship. Those memories delight my soul. 

A lot has changed since then - our wedding guest list would certainly include a lot of new faces whom we've been lucky enough to grow close to in recent years.

Individually we've grown and evolved so much. It's important we continue to explore who we are both as individuals and as a couple. 

 I'm truly proud of what we've created together. Our wonderful daughter Ember, our businesses, and our home.

I'm grateful for our incredible support system who joined us 11 years ago and who continue to nurture us and surround us with love and encouragement.

Today we celebrate the journey. The joys, the sorrows, the trials and tribulations. It all brought us here.

Merry everything and may peace, abundance and joy be with you all 🤲🏼🕊️
Amy Paffrath Instagram - Putting myself out there in a big way. This eclipse energy was about stepping into a new career path and with this proposal I'm doing just that. I've always loved writing and it's something that comes rather naturally to me. I'm better with written words than I am with public speaking and that's coming from a woman who's made a career in front of the camera. I hope and pray this books gets published but I'm also perfectly okay if it doesn't. I'm proud of the work I've done and the growth that happens when you take a leap of faith. Don't wait for anyone to give you permission. Go big, go bold and do the work. The reward is the quiet confidence and deep self esteem you gain from believing in yourself. The result doesn't matter. Just do the do. Follow your heart and you truly cannot lose. More importantly, this book isn't even about me. It's about the people that make my chosen city one of the best places on Earth. My motivation is in shining the spotlight on the folks who might not get the attention they deserve. Even with all the problems we face in LA, there's a whole lot of good happening in the city of angels. 

Universe, your move 💫📚✍🏻

Amy Paffrath Instagram - Honoring my inner child by showing up for this precious soul. This was a very healing visit to my hometown. We tried to go up in the Arch but it was sold out. So instead we walked to the Old Cathedral and lit a candle for Flo, her namesake who died 3 years ago today. The synergies are everywhere and I know that miraculous healing I prayed for on the way here has happened. I feel lighter. Eternally grateful for the city that shaped me and this beautiful symbol of hope and possibly. It's the gateway to the West and I guess I took that literally, moving as far West as one could go. California is my home now but you can never forget your roots. We travel home today with full hearts from the quality time spent with my Mom, Aunt, Uncle, sisters, brother, nieces, nephews girlfriends and their children. You can't change your past but you can always appreciate the present and create a new future. Until next time ✌🏻🕯️✨🌟

Amy Paffrath Instagram - And just like that our little girl is off to Kindergarten 🎓
Ember isn't the only one navigating big feelings about this change. It's been a super emotional week as we all traverse the transition from our cozy little co-op to the behemoth that is LAUSD. Embracing the next chapter with courage and excitement and accepting the sadness that comes with leaving behind the safety and security of a community we love so much. Looking forward to nurturing the lifelong friendships we've all been so privileged to make as well as the new ones that will undoubtedly come along on our sweet girl's educational journey. 

Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. A circle's round, it has no end, that's how long I want to be your friend. 🎶

I'm not crying 😭 (of course I am and everyone knows it 🫶🏻)

Amy Paffrath Instagram - 🚨 ATTENTION!🚨

No announcement - just being transparent about the goal of this pic 😜

Happy to be in good health and doing what I love surrounded by great people.

Also loved my @karen_millen fit and wanted to share.

Thx for making me feel cute 💁🏼‍♀️

Amy Paffrath Instagram - Here's a picture of me being pretty and palatable because being vulnerable and showing emotions (especially on social media where we're supposed to be perfect and polished) makes people very uncomfortable 💋

Thanks for all your messages   comments yesterday. 

I'm OK. I KNOW something great is waiting for me - I know because I'm going to create it. 

I'm simply trying to show y'all that mourning the loss of something you love is NORMAL. It's a necessary part of life and something we shouldn't be so quick to rush through or gloss over. 

I'm okay with being in a season of change. I actually thrive in this space. This is where I listen to the quiet voice inside who will lead me to the next great thing. If I rush this, I'll just busy myself with something as a distraction or numb myself out and miss the point of what this growth is trying to teach me. I'm not gonna do that. I'm in a season of wintering. Letting the old die off so something new and beautiful can be born. 

I might put on some red lipstick but only if I feel like it 😘

Amy Paffrath Instagram - I love this photo from #arealbugslife so much it's going in feed.

It's so nice when the stars align and we get invited to a fun family friendly industry event on a day I have full glam, get photographed and end up in the event recap 'thank you' email

Truly had the best time at the @nhmla with my hubs (rocking my sweatshirt 😆) sis @flywithbritt96   many friends whom I sadly didn't capture moments with. 

Ember has lots of questions about the ants

Amy Paffrath Instagram - Er the whon that I want @drewseeley 💕
Dates these days look like grocery shopping and getting lunch at @erewhon and it's more than okay with me. We're approaching our 11th anniversary at the end of the month and the last year has really tested the whole 'in sickness and health' part of our vows. Finally on the road to recovery after a long bout of SIBO which caused me to suffer malabsorption and malnourishment leading to unexpected weight loss. (I'm aware I look too thin, please stop telling me. It's unhelpful and frankly, rude). It has stressed my body and our relationship but we're stronger now and working on healing together. This is what long term relationships are about. It's not always pretty. It's not always easy. But if you are both committed to self improvement you will grow - hopefully together. I'm grateful that we've gotten to a place where I can ask for help and know that I will receive it. I don't like to depend on anyone but this man has my back thought thick and thin. Working on getting back to thick. Full fat smoothies and pizza should help. We're a work in progress and after 11 years of marriage, discovering that the bad times push you towards better ones if you're willing to see the lessons in the struggles. Love you, Drew. Thanks for taking care of me even when I'm not the best at asking for what I need. ⛅

Amy Paffrath Instagram - Keep turning towards the light. 
It's hard to focus on anything other than the immense amount of suffering in Palestine right now. 

My heart breaks for the children who are enduring endless trauma.

My heart breaks for the hostages whose whereabouts are still unknown. 

I am as angry, sad and outraged as all of you. 

But I'm also trying to raise a human who doesn't have to recover from her childhood. That DOES require me to keep seeking the light. 

Otherwise the darkness will take me under and I'll be of no use to anyone much less my child. 

I know this is important.
I am aware of the tragedy and horrors occuring in real time. 

It's excruciating. 
I know I'm not alone in feeling helpless.

It does seem like a ceasefire would be a great place to start. 

I left a note in the wailing wall last year. It was a prayer for peace in the region.

It's a big ask and little 'ole me certainly can't control the outcome.

So, I'm just here, working on breaking toxic cycles in my own life.

Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me.

Day 1 was a dream 💭 and when my head finally hit the pillow after 8  hours of dancing, there was @honeymoon on her motorcycle giving us all compliments and encouraging me to write my book. Live like Lana. Be weird, dark and crazy. To thine own self be true and the people who your moody melodies are meant for will receive your artistic vision fully. Grateful to experience this iconic performance and be present for it. It's a beautiful life. Don't miss it 🫶🏻🎶

Amy Paffrath Instagram - Just a girl feelin' hella good at @coachella 🤘🏻🎶🎺💽🎡
Day 2 was all about dancing and head banging with @nodoubt while wearing a top that's as old as the band. My sister hated when I wore her clothes when we were teenagers but I'm pretty sure angels don't give a shit about material things. I saw 822 all over the place which confirms my sister's presence was right there with me. Life is precious and fragile and short. Live it up while there's air in your lungs and blood pumping through your veins. Joy, delight and pleasure are your birthright. Seek and you will find 💫✨

Amy Paffrath Instagram - The past week was physically and emotionally draining. Sickness in my house, the weight of the world, existential dread. I was really struggling. Now, feeling more stable, I wrote a note to my future self for the inevitable times I will once again sink into a dark hole.

Dear Amy,
You are an intentional and thoughtful planner. Stick to your schedule and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Do NOT cancel plans unless by doing so you will experience more harm than good. Dinner with your girlfriends will ALWAYS recharge you especially when the meal starts with a collective deep breath. Spend a few minutes every morning breathing into your belly. Activism is active. Keep going but remember the heavy suffering and despair of the world can consume you if you don't take time to be still and experience the peace and calm of nature. When in doubt, grab your roller skates and head West. The ocean breeze and sunshine will refresh your spirit and give you the strength and reserves to stay awake and focused on being the change you wish to see. Never stop learning. Read books, integrate their messages. Follow thought provoking and diverse voices who expose the glaring truths of your privilege. Listen to your intuition and notice the messages from the spirits on the other side. Schedule your next therapy appointment. Eat fresh fruits and veggies. Lots of em. And never underestimate the confidence you get from wearing hot pink.

Tools only work if you use them. 
What are some of your go-tos when life gets you down?

We can transcend any hardship but it starts with awareness and conscious effort. Shed the old versions of you. Thank them for getting your here. Then summon all of your courage to step into the light and shine for those stuck in the dark.

Sending love and light from my corner of the globe to yours ✨

Amy Paffrath Instagram - The past week was physically and emotionally draining. Sickness in my house, the weight of the world, existential dread. I was really struggling. Now, feeling more stable, I wrote a note to my future self for the inevitable times I will once again sink into a dark hole.

Dear Amy,
You are an intentional and thoughtful planner. Stick to your schedule and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Do NOT cancel plans unless by doing so you will experience more harm than good. Dinner with your girlfriends will ALWAYS recharge you especially when the meal starts with a collective deep breath. Spend a few minutes every morning breathing into your belly. Activism is active. Keep going but remember the heavy suffering and despair of the world can consume you if you don't take time to be still and experience the peace and calm of nature. When in doubt, grab your roller skates and head West. The ocean breeze and sunshine will refresh your spirit and give you the strength and reserves to stay awake and focused on being the change you wish to see. Never stop learning. Read books, integrate their messages. Follow thought provoking and diverse voices who expose the glaring truths of your privilege. Listen to your intuition and notice the messages from the spirits on the other side. Schedule your next therapy appointment. Eat fresh fruits and veggies. Lots of em. And never underestimate the confidence you get from wearing hot pink.

Tools only work if you use them. 
What are some of your go-tos when life gets you down?

We can transcend any hardship but it starts with awareness and conscious effort. Shed the old versions of you. Thank them for getting your here. Then summon all of your courage to step into the light and shine for those stuck in the dark.

Amy Paffrath Instagram - It takes a village indeed.
Beyond grateful to the incredible parents, alumni, volunteers and community members who showed up and made our Spring Fair a smashing success. The vibe was relaxed and jubilant and we raised some desperately needed funds to supplement our truly special outdoor, play-based, cooperative nursery school. 

@drewseeley you sang your heart out and kept me grounded while I was busy spinning all the plates at once 😘

Special thanks to @flywithbritt96   @ambermcdermont the ultimate Aunties manning the busiest game station   @youcanfindjules for being the best support and hype woman (not pictured bc my lipstick was smeared off in our only photos 🤦🏻‍♀️)

@withjoshskinner @curlygirljojo   Michael for volunteering 🫶🏻 @alex_does_things_and_stuff for hooking us up with a keg 🍻

@jonnyflaugher for assembling the highest caliber of musicians to ever grace a preschool stage 🎶 (slide 2)

@shannonbobo for traveling across town and bringing her beautiful babe (slide 3)

@kid_row_ for rockin' our socks off 🤘🏻(slide 4)

@kiki.millar @livewithliya @berniceamaya @jessieraeprice my incredible colleagues who SHOWED UP for our school with enthusiasm, warmth and dedication (slide 5)

@brokenjuggler for the entertaining show 🍔🥒 (slide 6)

Our very special empathetic and patient teachers and staff including the unflappablr Odilia Gonzalez and @smithconnellsam 🍎🎨

And our creative, resourceful and imaginitive parent body who so generously and tirelessly gave their time and talents to pull this event off. Baking treats, building tents, rallying silent auction items, turning zucchinis into derby cars, sewing a quilt, decorating playground equipment, fostering community and nurturing one another in the process.

It's an enormous feat. It wouldn't be possible without all of us.  Thank you 🫶🏻

We did it!!!

Amy Paffrath Instagram - Leap day ski trip ⛷️💨🏔️🐻

Diverted a sister ski trip with @flywithbritt96 and kept it local which meant the whole family was suddenly invited.

Teaching your kid ANYTHING requires oodles of patience. Teaching your kid to ski requires enough patience to fill Big Bear lake. 

Lots of tears and plenty of frustration early on but when we listened to our child and took off the ski clip a friendly, well- meaning staff member hooked on her skis, she fared much better and had a really enjoyable day. 

We gave Ember some tips, and told her the basics but mainly she taught herself to ski. Parents, give them the tools, make adjustments, then get out of their way. 

We have a budding skier! @drewseeley

Ps...kids 4 and under get free rentals at Big Bear Mountain .

Perfect low pressure opportunity to try the sport before you commit. 

Grateful for the wonderful bday girl @gina_field for allowing us to stay at her cozy mountain hideaway. 

10/10 would recommend.

Amy Paffrath Instagram - Did you know our brains are wired towards the catastrophic?

If you spiral and start thinking the first sign of illness means you're dying, you're not alone. 

It could be due to what's known as a negativity bias.
We have a tendency to go to the worst case scenario. 
(And so does the internet - stay off WebMD!)

It's a biological adaptation that we don't necessarily need in such high gear.

We have to train our minds to look for the positive.

Very hard when you're physically ill or your body is in pain.

I hope this comes as a message of hope that though our bodies are fragile and certainly need our tending loving care, they are also resilient when given time and tenderness to simply rest and digest. 

Grateful for @drewseeley who took care of me this week and gave me plenty of grace and space to focus on my wellness.

May we each continue to find what healing means for us.
For me it's balancing my microbiome, a hot button topic right now 🧠 

We're different, we're the same. We're all doing great.

Wishing you all balance, harmony and homeostasis.

Amy Paffrath - 724 Likes - 11 years ago we had the most beautiful wedding day in Key West @drewseeley 💒

A marathon day of celebrations with friends and family on a tropical island and aboard a cruise ship. Those memories delight my soul. 

A lot has changed since then - our wedding guest list would certainly include a lot of new faces whom we've been lucky enough to grow close to in recent years.

Individually we've grown and evolved so much. It's important we continue to explore who we are both as individuals and as a couple. 

 I'm truly proud of what we've created together. Our wonderful daughter Ember, our businesses, and our home.

I'm grateful for our incredible support system who joined us 11 years ago and who continue to nurture us and surround us with love and encouragement.

Today we celebrate the journey. The joys, the sorrows, the trials and tribulations. It all brought us here.

Caption : 11 years ago we had the most beautiful wedding day in Key West @drewseeley 💒 A marathon day of celebrations with friends and family on a tropical island and aboard a cruise ship. Those memories delight my soul. A lot has changed since then – our wedding guest list would certainly include a lot of new faces whom we’ve been lucky enough to grow close to in recent years. Individually we’ve grown and evolved so much. It’s important we continue to explore who we are both as individuals and as a couple. I’m truly proud of what we’ve created together. Our wonderful daughter Ember, our businesses, and our home.

Amy Paffrath - 364 Likes - Putting myself out there in a big way. This eclipse energy was about stepping into a new career path and with this proposal I'm doing just that. I've always loved writing and it's something that comes rather naturally to me. I'm better with written words than I am with public speaking and that's coming from a woman who's made a career in front of the camera. I hope and pray this books gets published but I'm also perfectly okay if it doesn't. I'm proud of the work I've done and the growth that happens when you take a leap of faith. Don't wait for anyone to give you permission. Go big, go bold and do the work. The reward is the quiet confidence and deep self esteem you gain from believing in yourself. The result doesn't matter. Just do the do. Follow your heart and you truly cannot lose. More importantly, this book isn't even about me. It's about the people that make my chosen city one of the best places on Earth. My motivation is in shining the spotlight on the folks who might not get the attention they deserve. Even with all the problems we face in LA, there's a whole lot of good happening in the city of angels. 

Universe, your move 💫📚✍🏻

Amy Paffrath - 350 Likes - Honoring my inner child by showing up for this precious soul. This was a very healing visit to my hometown. We tried to go up in the Arch but it was sold out. So instead we walked to the Old Cathedral and lit a candle for Flo, her namesake who died 3 years ago today. The synergies are everywhere and I know that miraculous healing I prayed for on the way here has happened. I feel lighter. Eternally grateful for the city that shaped me and this beautiful symbol of hope and possibly. It's the gateway to the West and I guess I took that literally, moving as far West as one could go. California is my home now but you can never forget your roots. We travel home today with full hearts from the quality time spent with my Mom, Aunt, Uncle, sisters, brother, nieces, nephews girlfriends and their children. You can't change your past but you can always appreciate the present and create a new future. Until next time ✌🏻🕯️✨🌟

Amy Paffrath - 330 Likes - And just like that our little girl is off to Kindergarten 🎓
Ember isn't the only one navigating big feelings about this change. It's been a super emotional week as we all traverse the transition from our cozy little co-op to the behemoth that is LAUSD. Embracing the next chapter with courage and excitement and accepting the sadness that comes with leaving behind the safety and security of a community we love so much. Looking forward to nurturing the lifelong friendships we've all been so privileged to make as well as the new ones that will undoubtedly come along on our sweet girl's educational journey. 

Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. A circle's round, it has no end, that's how long I want to be your friend. 🎶

I'm not crying 😭 (of course I am and everyone knows it 🫶🏻)

Amy Paffrath - 292 Likes - Here's a picture of me being pretty and palatable because being vulnerable and showing emotions (especially on social media where we're supposed to be perfect and polished) makes people very uncomfortable 💋

Thanks for all your messages   comments yesterday. 

I'm OK. I KNOW something great is waiting for me - I know because I'm going to create it. 

I'm simply trying to show y'all that mourning the loss of something you love is NORMAL. It's a necessary part of life and something we shouldn't be so quick to rush through or gloss over. 

I'm okay with being in a season of change. I actually thrive in this space. This is where I listen to the quiet voice inside who will lead me to the next great thing. If I rush this, I'll just busy myself with something as a distraction or numb myself out and miss the point of what this growth is trying to teach me. I'm not gonna do that. I'm in a season of wintering. Letting the old die off so something new and beautiful can be born. 

I might put on some red lipstick but only if I feel like it 😘

Amy Paffrath - 258 Likes - Er the whon that I want @drewseeley 💕
Dates these days look like grocery shopping and getting lunch at @erewhon and it's more than okay with me. We're approaching our 11th anniversary at the end of the month and the last year has really tested the whole 'in sickness and health' part of our vows. Finally on the road to recovery after a long bout of SIBO which caused me to suffer malabsorption and malnourishment leading to unexpected weight loss. (I'm aware I look too thin, please stop telling me. It's unhelpful and frankly, rude). It has stressed my body and our relationship but we're stronger now and working on healing together. This is what long term relationships are about. It's not always pretty. It's not always easy. But if you are both committed to self improvement you will grow - hopefully together. I'm grateful that we've gotten to a place where I can ask for help and know that I will receive it. I don't like to depend on anyone but this man has my back thought thick and thin. Working on getting back to thick. Full fat smoothies and pizza should help. We're a work in progress and after 11 years of marriage, discovering that the bad times push you towards better ones if you're willing to see the lessons in the struggles. Love you, Drew. Thanks for taking care of me even when I'm not the best at asking for what I need. ⛅

Amy Paffrath - 251 Likes - Keep turning towards the light. 
It's hard to focus on anything other than the immense amount of suffering in Palestine right now. 

My heart breaks for the children who are enduring endless trauma.

My heart breaks for the hostages whose whereabouts are still unknown. 

I am as angry, sad and outraged as all of you. 

But I'm also trying to raise a human who doesn't have to recover from her childhood. That DOES require me to keep seeking the light. 

Otherwise the darkness will take me under and I'll be of no use to anyone much less my child. 

I know this is important.
I am aware of the tragedy and horrors occuring in real time. 

It's excruciating. 
I know I'm not alone in feeling helpless.

It does seem like a ceasefire would be a great place to start. 

I left a note in the wailing wall last year. It was a prayer for peace in the region.

It's a big ask and little 'ole me certainly can't control the outcome.

So, I'm just here, working on breaking toxic cycles in my own life.

Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me.

Otherwise the darkness will take me under and I’ll be of no use to anyone much less my child. I know this is important. I am aware of the tragedy and horrors occuring in real time. It’s excruciating. I know I’m not alone in feeling helpless. It does seem like a ceasefire would be a great place to start. I left a note in the wailing wall last year. It was a prayer for peace in the region. It’s a big ask and little ‘ole me certainly can’t control the outcome. So, I’m just here, working on breaking toxic cycles in my own life. Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me.

Day 1 was a dream 💭 and when my head finally hit the pillow after 8  hours of dancing, there was @honeymoon on her motorcycle giving us all compliments and encouraging me to write my book. Live like Lana. Be weird, dark and crazy. To thine own self be true and the people who your moody melodies are meant for will receive your artistic vision fully.

Day 2 was all about dancing and head banging with @nodoubt while wearing a top that's as old as the band. My sister hated when I wore her clothes when we were teenagers but I'm pretty sure angels don't give a shit about material things. I saw 822 all over the place which confirms my sister's presence was right there with me. Life is precious and fragile and short. Live it up while there's air in your lungs and blood pumping through your veins. Joy, delight and pleasure are your birthright. Seek and you will find 💫✨

Amy Paffrath - 216 Likes - The past week was physically and emotionally draining. Sickness in my house, the weight of the world, existential dread. I was really struggling. Now, feeling more stable, I wrote a note to my future self for the inevitable times I will once again sink into a dark hole.

Dear Amy,
You are an intentional and thoughtful planner. Stick to your schedule and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Do NOT cancel plans unless by doing so you will experience more harm than good. Dinner with your girlfriends will ALWAYS recharge you especially when the meal starts with a collective deep breath. Spend a few minutes every morning breathing into your belly. Activism is active. Keep going but remember the heavy suffering and despair of the world can consume you if you don't take time to be still and experience the peace and calm of nature. When in doubt, grab your roller skates and head West. The ocean breeze and sunshine will refresh your spirit and give you the strength and reserves to stay awake and focused on being the change you wish to see. Never stop learning. Read books, integrate their messages. Follow thought provoking and diverse voices who expose the glaring truths of your privilege. Listen to your intuition and notice the messages from the spirits on the other side. Schedule your next therapy appointment. Eat fresh fruits and veggies. Lots of em. And never underestimate the confidence you get from wearing hot pink.

Tools only work if you use them. 
What are some of your go-tos when life gets you down?

We can transcend any hardship but it starts with awareness and conscious effort. Shed the old versions of you. Thank them for getting your here. Then summon all of your courage to step into the light and shine for those stuck in the dark.

Sending love and light from my corner of the globe to yours ✨

Listen to your intuition and notice the messages from the spirits on the other side. Schedule your next therapy appointment. Eat fresh fruits and veggies. Lots of em. And never underestimate the confidence you get from wearing hot pink.

Tools only work if you use them. 
What are some of your go-tos when life gets you down?

We can transcend any hardship but it starts with awareness and conscious effort. Shed the old versions of you. Thank them for getting your here. Then summon all of your courage to step into the light and shine for those stuck in the dark.

Sending love and light from my corner of the globe to yours ✨

Caption : The past week was physically and emotionally draining. Sickness in my house, the weight of the world, existential dread. I was really struggling. Now, feeling more stable, I wrote a note to my future self for the inevitable times I will once again sink into a dark hole. Dear Amy, You are an intentional and thoughtful planner. Stick to your schedule and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Do NOT cancel plans unless by doing so you will experience more harm than good. Dinner with your girlfriends will ALWAYS recharge you especially when the meal starts with a collective deep breath. Spend a few minutes every morning breathing into your belly. Activism is active. Keep going but remember the heavy suffering and despair of the world can consume you if you don’t take time to be still and experience the peace and calm of nature. When in doubt, grab your roller skates and head West.

Beyond grateful to the incredible parents, alumni, volunteers and community members who showed up and made our Spring Fair a smashing success. The vibe was relaxed and jubilant and we raised some desperately needed funds to supplement our truly special outdoor, play-based, cooperative nursery school. 

@drewseeley you sang your heart out and kept me grounded while I was busy spinning all the plates at once 😘

Special thanks to @flywithbritt96   @ambermcdermont the ultimate Aunties manning the busiest game station   @youcanfindjules for being the best support and hype woman (not pictured bc my lipstick was smeared off in our only photos 🤦🏻‍♀️)

@withjoshskinner @curlygirljojo   Michael for volunteering 🫶🏻 @alex_does_things_and_stuff for hooking us up with a keg 🍻

@jonnyflaugher for assembling the highest caliber of musicians to ever grace a preschool stage 🎶 (slide 2)

@shannonbobo for traveling across town and bringing her beautiful babe (slide 3)

@kid_row_ for rockin' our socks off 🤘🏻(slide 4)

@kiki.millar @livewithliya @berniceamaya @jessieraeprice my incredible colleagues who SHOWED UP for our school with enthusiasm, warmth and dedication (slide 5)

@brokenjuggler for the entertaining show 🍔🥒 (slide 6)

Our very special empathetic and patient teachers and staff including the unflappablr Odilia Gonzalez and @smithconnellsam 🍎🎨

And our creative, resourceful and imaginitive parent body who so generously and tirelessly gave their time and talents to pull this event off. Baking treats, building tents, rallying silent auction items, turning zucchinis into derby cars, sewing a quilt, decorating playground equipment, fostering community and nurturing one another in the process.

It's an enormous feat. It wouldn't be possible without all of us.  Thank you 🫶🏻

We did it!!!

The vibe was relaxed and jubilant and we raised some desperately needed funds to supplement our truly special outdoor, play-based, cooperative nursery school. 

@drewseeley you sang your heart out and kept me grounded while I was busy spinning all the plates at once 😘

Special thanks to @flywithbritt96   @ambermcdermont the ultimate Aunties manning the busiest game station   @youcanfindjules for being the best support and hype woman (not pictured bc my lipstick was smeared off in our only photos 🤦🏻‍♀️)

@withjoshskinner @curlygirljojo   Michael for volunteering 🫶🏻 @alex_does_things_and_stuff for hooking us up with a keg 🍻

@jonnyflaugher for assembling the highest caliber of musicians to ever grace a preschool stage 🎶 (slide 2)

@shannonbobo for traveling across town and bringing her beautiful babe (slide 3)

@kid_row_ for rockin' our socks off 🤘🏻(slide 4)

@kiki.millar @livewithliya @berniceamaya @jessieraeprice my incredible colleagues who SHOWED UP for our school with enthusiasm, warmth and dedication (slide 5)

@brokenjuggler for the entertaining show 🍔🥒 (slide 6)

Our very special empathetic and patient teachers and staff including the unflappablr Odilia Gonzalez and @smithconnellsam 🍎🎨

And our creative, resourceful and imaginitive parent body who so generously and tirelessly gave their time and talents to pull this event off. Baking treats, building tents, rallying silent auction items, turning zucchinis into derby cars, sewing a quilt, decorating playground equipment, fostering community and nurturing one another in the process.

It's an enormous feat. It wouldn't be possible without all of us.  Thank you 🫶🏻

We did it!!!

Amy Paffrath - 194 Likes - Leap day ski trip ⛷️💨🏔️🐻

Diverted a sister ski trip with @flywithbritt96 and kept it local which meant the whole family was suddenly invited.

Teaching your kid ANYTHING requires oodles of patience. Teaching your kid to ski requires enough patience to fill Big Bear lake. 

Lots of tears and plenty of frustration early on but when we listened to our child and took off the ski clip a friendly, well- meaning staff member hooked on her skis, she fared much better and had a really enjoyable day. 

We gave Ember some tips, and told her the basics but mainly she taught herself to ski. Parents, give them the tools, make adjustments, then get out of their way. 

We have a budding skier! @drewseeley

Ps...kids 4 and under get free rentals at Big Bear Mountain .

Perfect low pressure opportunity to try the sport before you commit. 

Grateful for the wonderful bday girl @gina_field for allowing us to stay at her cozy mountain hideaway. 

10/10 would recommend.

Amy Paffrath - 140 Likes - Did you know our brains are wired towards the catastrophic?

If you spiral and start thinking the first sign of illness means you're dying, you're not alone. 

It could be due to what's known as a negativity bias.
We have a tendency to go to the worst case scenario. 
(And so does the internet - stay off WebMD!)

It's a biological adaptation that we don't necessarily need in such high gear.

We have to train our minds to look for the positive.

Very hard when you're physically ill or your body is in pain.

I hope this comes as a message of hope that though our bodies are fragile and certainly need our tending loving care, they are also resilient when given time and tenderness to simply rest and digest. 

Grateful for @drewseeley who took care of me this week and gave me plenty of grace and space to focus on my wellness.

May we each continue to find what healing means for us.
For me it's balancing my microbiome, a hot button topic right now 🧠 

We're different, we're the same. We're all doing great.

Wishing you all balance, harmony and homeostasis.
