All About Jill

Hey there and welcome! My name is Jill Robbins and this is my space on the internet. I’m happy you are here. Just so you know, if this weren’t the internet, I’d be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like “how are you today” with gems like “Me too!” and “Great, but I forgot to put on deodorant.” I’m that person.

Instagram post 2191832509092177761_182735783 This guy and I have been married for 10 years. In a lot of ways it doesn't seem that long but it a lot of ways it seems longer, although not in a bad way. 💗
.
It just seems like I've been with him forever. We spent a couple of days alone together at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa near Bastrop Texas. Like typical parents, we spent most of the weekend talking about our kids and about how much they'd love this resort. 🌲🌲🌲
.
While we DID enjoy our time alone and while the IS a great couple's get-a-way, it's amazingly family friendly and the property has a ton of amenities. Plus delicious food. I could go on and on about the breakfast but I'll tell you about that another day. Or, you could go read my full review, which is linked in my profile section. ⬆️
.
Bottom line? This property is luxurious but there's not an ounce of stiffness or pretentiousness anywhere. Highly recommend.🌟🌟
.
Thanks @hyattlostpines for hosting us - we look forward to coming back!

Instagram post 2185679890290907631_182735783 Does this truck make me look cool? 😎
.
Hint: only one acceptable answer here, y’all.
.
One of the biggest reasons why we don’t have a truck has been the fuel economy ⛽️
.
However, the 2020 RAM ECO-DIESEL gets very respectable gas mileage: 22 MPG city & 32 MPG on the highway. If you think trucks are just for work or for guys, I encourage you to check out my full review of this truck and see if it just might be your next everyday ride...link in bio. It definitely smashed a lot of stereotypes I had about trucks.
.
Thanks @ramtrucks for letting me drive this beauty and thanks @agirlsguide2cars for hosting me in Georgia.

Instagram post 2184578892227036667_182735783 Give me a 🙌🏻 if you can't get anything done on time.
.
Yesterday was #NationalAdoptionDay - or at least that's what social media told me - and I meant to get a post up but well...you know.
.
For those who don't know our family's story, my two youngest kids are adopted from China. Zack was adopted at age two and Kyle was adopted at age three. They are four months apart and they were adopted one year (almost to the day) apart. I know...it takes a minute to wrap your head around that one.
.
I used to write often and openly about our adoption processes, particularly my own feelings about our adoptions and the depression and anxiety that went along with it for me. My boys are amazing and bringing them into our family was the best decision my husband and I ever made - we don't agree on everything but we agree on that. But...like any part of life, there are parts of adoption that are stressful and messy. I think writing about those parts and being honest with other adoptive parents was part of what got me though some of the dark parts.
.
These days, I don't write much about our adoption story - although I do re-share our older content. As my kids get older and begin to process their adoptions, I want to give them the space to do that without thinking every little aspect of their lives is going on social media. In a lot of ways, we're just like any one else's family and in other ways, we're not. When you're nine years old, those differences start to matter so any major adoption updates will be led by them. And for now...they're most interested in where we're going on our next trip or- sigh - Minecraft 🙄
.
I’ve loved looking at everyone’s #nationaladoptionday & #nationaladoptionmonth pics. For me, it’s about taking a minute to be grateful for the family I have.
