My second son is SIXTEEN today. I thought of curat

My second son is SIXTEEN today. I thought of curating a carefully coiffed, perfectly posed photo of him... but that is so NOT him. One year when I ordered school photos, I specified his to be touched up because he was dealing with a bunch of acne. When we received the printed photos, he was so hurt. He said, "but that's not actually me". Jolt of reality for a mom who is writing a book about authenticity. ⁠
⁠
Every birthday photo from every year shows him doing some version of this creepy face so in keeping with tradition... meet Nick. 😆 I love this guy for so many reasons - he's my right hand man around the house and yard and is always willing to go the extra mile. HBD, Nick! I hope this year is the best yet 🥰

If you're a Canadian and 18+, today is a chance for you to be heard and to do your part in making a difference in the beautiful country we call home. You may feel that your one little voice makes no difference, but 1000 "one little voices" can make all the difference. Do your part today, and vote.

P.S. We hit the advance polls last week and brought our oldest son (18) along for the first time 😊

I have a spot for ONE book in October. As a professional editor, my areas of expertise are copyediting, proofreading, and author coaching.⁠
⁠
If you're just starting and have only 5000+/- words written, I offer one-on-one 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 through that stage to give you confidence in your next steps.⁠
⁠
If you've finished the manuscript but need another - trained - pair of eyes to look it over, I will give suggestions as well as clean up your grammar and usage. This is called a 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭.⁠
⁠
If your manuscript is complete, has gone through a copyedit, is formatted for print and you just need that final 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝, I offer this service as well.⁠
⁠
If any of these sound like you, I'd love to chat! Send me an email at hello@margiregehr.com 💗⁠

Today in Alberta, everything feels a bit heavy aga

Today in Alberta, everything feels a bit heavy again. As of midnight last night, we're back under a lot of restrictions. I have a kid that struggles with anxiety and finding out he had to wear masks and distance again broke his little heart. Sending him off to school this morning was hard. ⁠
⁠
I want to curl up in a ball and hide away until this whole thing is over...⁠
⁠
And then, this verse pops up as my verse of the day and I know it's no coincidence. Focusing on the hard and negative is not helping me or my children to thrive in this crazy time. As Sawyer headed out the door, head down, I reminded him, "We can't control what's happening around us, but we CAN control what's happening within us." ⁠
⁠
We all get to choose our thoughts today. ⁠

Today I'm 40.⁠
⁠
It feels like the biggest milestone in my life so far. It signifies so many years of learning, growing, and becoming comfortable in my own skin. ⁠
⁠
I'm beyond grateful for the body that has carried me unwaveringly through four decades, for the family I've been blessed with, friends that bring me such joy, and for my faith that bolsters and empowers me. ⁠
⁠
Here's to the next 40 years. I'm excited and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me 💖⁠
⁠
P.S. My husband threw me a (very) surprise birthday party on Saturday and invited the best group of friends. I felt so loved. Today has been chill & absolutely lovely. Got my nails done, went out for lunch with hubby, and it was rainy this morning which is my favourite kind of day!⁠

Anyone else have a hard time with this? I turn 40

Anyone else have a hard time with this? I turn 40 this week and I think I'm finally getting better with saying "no" to stuff, but it's still so hard. After brushing shoulders with burnout a few times, I do think harder about what I really want to accept onto my plate right now. ⁠
⁠
Life will always be busy. I have four kids in various stages of school and work and activities, aging parents to care for, and a book and businesses to work on. I'm not going to have a lot of spare time for a few years, so it's ok to guard the time I have, even if it means saying no to even noble things.⁠
⁠
How do you decide what stays and what goes?⁠

Ellie got a bedroom makeover this summer for her birthday... which was in June... it's been so busy I haven't had the chance to share it! But isn't it dreamy? I think I would have adored this space at age 9 💗⁠
⁠
The desk and hutch were $50 on Facebook Marketplace and a yellow-oak finish. I hired a local to refinish in this yummy pink chalk paint.⁠
⁠
The tipi was also from FB Marketplace, as well as the mid-century modern chair and the white metal bedframe!⁠

Sometimes we spend a lifetime working so hard to b

Sometimes we spend a lifetime working so hard to be seen as "enough" when we are created in God's image and wholly perfect as His creation. It's exhausting to fight, flee, and flex to portray ourselves as someone we're not. ⁠
⁠
You are Created. You are Loved. You are perfect just the way you are. Be gloriously you, everyone else is taken. 💛⁠
⁠
This is an excerpt from my new book that I'm sending off to my editor TODAY and it finally feels like I'm on the home stretch. This baby has been a year in the making!⁠
