This moment brought to you by crazy Uncle Jeff... sometimes when your laughing and being silly your whole world makes sense. Double tap if this picture makes you smile 😃 #familyiseverything #honestmotherhood #sistersquad#letgoandletgod #momswithcameras #girlmom#girlmomma#momdotme#realmoms#mommydiaries#mynameismomma#candidmotherhood #anxietyrelief #depressionrecovery #thesweetestthing

I have to say my girls are lucky and blessed!! We just got home from a fantastic cruise... I thanked God this morning at church for everything I have... girls had candy filled baskets from the Easter Bunny...and just ran around with neighborhood friends collecting Easter Eggs... we are all some lucky bunnies!.... ....... ....... ........ .......... ......... #happyeaster🐰 #rodstewart #someguyshavealltheluck #momswithcameras #momdot#momdotme#letterboardquotes #momswithletterboards #letterboardlove #thebump#afterthebump #threegirls#sisters#sistersquad#mommymode#mynameismomma#puns#punsofinstagram #realmoms#pixel_kids#thankgod#thankgodforlife #thankgodforeverything

In my dreams famous....I’m kidding guys! I know I don’t need a formal announcement... I mean I don’t have that many followers and my friends read my stories and I’m sure you want to throw up of annoyance at all the mentions of the trip we are taking... I mean I’m not naïve - I know how people think because I am one of those people! You’re probably like OK we get it - Jill is going on a cruise... enough is enough!! But still I am taking a break from insta!! So if anyone is like hmm where is that Jill from@the_girly_reports... now you know!! #gonecruising #familyvacation#letterboardquotes #letterboardfun#candidmotherhood #threegirls#girlmom#momswithcameras #momdot#clickinmoms #loveletterboards #vacationwithkids #instamommy #sahm#sahmlife#messymotherhood #mommydiaries#momlife#motherhoodthroughletterboards #thebump#afterthebump #crazymom#isthisnecessary #vacationmode #vacationvibes

Where do I begin? I don’t even know why or how I started this Instagram last summer... but I did ... and I posted my first post minus the hashtags and minus the stress of worrying if my post will do well.... and then I posted a few more...and then I started exploring.... hashtags...and other accounts....and then all you bloggers know how it goes right? You start seeing all of the big accounts , the amazing and fabulous, and the numbers... the numbers are huge ... 5k, 10k, 25k... and I’m like wow how do I get there? Never mind not even knowing what the purpose of my blog even is... I just wanted to make it!! And make it fast... what does any desperate small numbers blogger do but stalk... and creep ... and notice that many of these big accounts are participating in giveaways... oh the lure of the giveaway... chip in money with other fellow desperate bloggers ( oh shit! Did I say desperate?) look I don’t know what these people’s goals are but all I know is I was desperate.... I wanted to make money ! Who doesn’t? And companies pay more for folks that have more followers... makes total sense right! I was being just Jill and put my heart out there but I wasn’t growing overnight... so I did a giveaway... and I gained a little ... I said I wouldn’t do another ... But like an addict, I did another... here’s the thing, it works, people want to win 💰 so they follow accounts-these people aren’t following me because they want to. They just want to win money!! I gained a handful of actual engaged followers who liked my posts and made insightful comments, but mostly it was just a numbers game... I get it... the giveaways... it simply floats your numbers and it feels good and even helps bloggers attract brands ... But I can’t do it Because it’s costly! And Every time I did one my husband was like ... “ oh I saw your numbers go up- paying for more followers again....” and it hit hard ... I see why bloggers who are selling products do giveaways... so they can reach more of an audience but as for me I’m not trying to sell anything so I’ll just remain a small fry in a big sea and it’s ok with me... and my family and friend could give two fucks how many followers I have!

Can you believe it?? This all came about when we were ordering tacos from an Authentic Mexican Restaurant and he was saying how he loves the way the meat is cooked and shredded ... and then ... oh you know how the story goes... I found out that he is so not into ground beef and packaged spice ! After all these years.... humph ! How about you? Do you like ground beef with the spice or the authentic shredded chicken or beef? Guess it’s time for a change? #taconight#tacotuesday #idontwanttotacoboutit #momswithletterboards #letterboardfun#letterboardfunnies#letterboardquotes #motherhoodthroughletterboards #parenthoodmoments #realmom#messymotherhood #marriagegoals #dateyourspouse #girlmom#threegirls#momdotme #candidmotherhood #letterboardlife #letterboardmom#stopdropandmom#hotmessmom #hotmessmama #tacotuesday #tacos #taco

This comes from my absolute favorite quote from Elizabeth Taylor! I changed the” put on your lipstick part “ to a mom bun because well... I’m a mom and sometimes I can’t find any lipstick 🤷‍♀️ I loved that quote the minute I heard it! Life stinks sometimes ! It’s stressful, PMS happens ... whiny kids happens... annoying moms happen ( I am probably one of those to you all - but hey what are you gonna do! I am what I am! Oh Popeye said that !!! Future letter board 😝............ I got off topic ! the point is life is never perfect so do what you gotta do to just put on the smile and get through it!! Fake it till you make it! Nothing wrong with shoving your feelings down deep once in a while and just pulling yourself together! We don’t always have to share all of our shit .... and this is coming from an over-sharer! Have a great week everyone! #sundaywisdom #sundaynight #letterboardquotes #letterboards #letterboardquote #letterboardlove #letterboardfun#letterboardfunny #realmomlife #realmom #momhumor#momtruth #mymamahood#motherhoodunited#honestmotherhood #parenthoodmoments #themommydiary #momdotme #messymotherhood #acupofmotherhood #feltlikesharing #check5442
