The Secret Recipe for a Good Life. courtneylashea.com/the-secret-rec…

Just my usual post about how I'm still just super obsessed with my husband. 🥹💛 I love him more than I ever thought this heart was capable of loving. This last week has held one of the hardest things I will probably ever have to go through, and he held me through it all.

Being married is your husband having all day to mow and waiting until 20 min before dinner to start. 🙃🤣

"Courtney, I just no scope-ed someone out of the air!" "Wow. That's really good, bubby."

Unexpected benefit of motherhood: Someone is always monitoring you. Just told the boys I had to go to the bathroom and I'd be right back. Oldest goes, "Okay! Wait, again?!"

The absolute amount of ✨patience✨ it takes to raise decent human beings is just really baffling to me. God bless my parents and the village that raised me. 😂

One day, the youngest will speak normal. But for now, "thirty" is "sturdy" and "yellow" is "led-doe" and I hope I never forget it. 🥹💛

Low-key obsessed with my hubby. Don't even know if it's right or not, but 2 years with him and I still think the saddest part of my day is the sound of the door closing as he goes off to work. 🤷‍♀️

@anniefdowns girllllll, you are ROCKING that outfit! #IF2024

Having one of those, "Oh my gosh, how did I get to marry you? 😍" kinda weeks with the hubby. Life has been tough + exhausting. Stepmomming ain't easy. Holidays with a blended fam ain't easy. Sick kiddos on holidays ain't easy. But I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else.

Please, for the love, do NOT ever look at a stepmom while she is struggling and tell her she knew what she was signing up for when she married her spouse. Nobody knows exactly what marriage or parenthood will be like, and stepmomming is a different level of difficult.

Okay, but the high five scene in #ABiltmoreChristmas is so cute. 🥰

Me, watching my husband sleep: "Oh my Lord, he is precious. I love him so much. How could I ever be upset with him?" Also me, a few hours later when the boys are a loud circus and he's the ringleader: "Ohhhh. That's how." 🙃😂

This. 💯

Hubby is sleeping peacefully. Kiddos are giggling in their room. Sun is shining through the window. These are the kind of mornings I prayed for. 💛 Thank You, Lord, for Your kindness.

Honest talk: I love my husband. I love my stepkiddos. We are VERY blessed with the dynamic that we have. We are a family. 💛 But also . . . until I became a stepmom + second wife, I didn't realize there were so many subtle ways a person could feel cheated out of things.

@Jason_Stanford_ Just now, huh? That whole shindig makes me sad. I just can't.

Motherhood is sneaking a Fudge Round while your kids are in the shower and praying they don't smell it on your breath when they get out. 🙃🤣

My gamer husband: We'll only play 'til, like, 10:30. Me, a wife who knows better and can tell time: See ya after 12. ✌️

My favorite thing about the shirt I'm wearing is that it smells like the hubby I stole it from. 😍🥰 And THAT'S how I know I'm bad off. 😬
