Life's Looking Really Different Lately: Our Transition from Hawaii to Full-Time RV Living
From Island Life to RV Life - A Soul-Aligned Motherhood Story

It's already been over six months since we left Hawaii, and motherhood just isn't the same. There have been some obvious changes like full-time RV life, homeschooling our children, Jason jumping into a new career, and getting a puppy. While these are undoubtedly massive life transitions that stacked up one upon another very quickly and have very much dictated our daily family life, it's the subtle changes that I'm starting to notice more.
It's been in the mundane everyday moments of intentional parenting that I'm seeing and feeling that although all this big life stuff feels overwhelming still, we are on the right path for our family and my journey within soul-aligned motherhood.
The Power of Mindful Moments in Motherhood
This had me thinking about authentic motherhood… we so often focus on the big stuff - the holidays, graduations, new jobs, celebrations - but it's in the small mundane moments where you see the truth of how those big moments and big decisions have shaped your parenting journey.
There have been times in my life where I would describe the mundane moments of mom life as:
Bleary-eyed exhaustion
Heart-thumping anxiety
Mind-racing busyness
Guilt-ridden mindfulness
Not all that mundane, huh? But over the last few years, I've been shedding these conditioned ways of thinking and being while opting for compassionate parenting, authentic living, and heart-led motherhood. It took intention, persistence, and support to get here, but the fruits of my labor are emerging in our RV family lifestyle.
What Soul-Aligned Motherhood Looks Like Daily
The mundane moments of mindful motherhood now look a lot more like this:
Slow morning routines with sunlight on my face during walks with Rex
Unrushed conversations with my girls during our homeschool days
Deep restorative sleep in our RV home
Peaceful afternoon rituals with a cup of tea
Rhythmic days over scheduled chaos
My nervous system regulation is humming a different tune these days. The push and pull of mom life is gentler. This is what I call my soul-aligned motherhood journey, and right now, I'm loving my choice of path.
