Cosmetic treatments and plastic surgery used to be a “taboo” topic. No one talked about it or would disclose “what they’ve had done” in fear of being perceived as fake or trying to hide something. It was previously believed that only rich people or really crazy people would want to change the way they look.
Welcome to August 2020, where America has been mostly stuck in their homes since March, unable to travel, go to the gym, hang out with extended family, go to school or even remotely make plans for the rest of the year. Insert Zoom meetings, Zoom workouts, Zoom wine tastings, Zoom baby showers, Zoom School and the 5 Kinds of (tired) Quarantine Mamas.
Ready for a break, mama? We all know it’s hard to get away from your daily routine and leave your kids and husband for a weekend. But guess what? You don’t know how bad you need it until you DO IT! Last October, we took a weekend, just us girls, to get away from the everyday grind. Williamsburg, VA was a perfect destination for a girls weekend and you have to know why!
Ahh… ´tis the season of boots, cute sweaters, chilly weather… and family photos! If youŕe like me, you have had complete total epic meltdowns over the outfits you, your children, and your husband are going to wear for these photos that will be plastered all over your wall and mailed out to basically everyone you know on your Christmas cards. Oh, and if they didn´t make the Christmas card list, best believe your mom is walking around with it in her purse waiting for someone to ask how youŕe doing. So here we have it, a Momś Guide to outfitting your entire family… made EASY!
Are you looking to get rid some monthly bills by finding a remote side hustle?
Easier said than done, my friend! Almost every parent I know wishes they could find a job to support their family while staying home caring for their children. It’s the ultimate WIN! I was lucky enough to have flexible job that allowed me to work from home AND avoid expensive daycare bills. Want that, too? You’ve come to the right place!
Are you looking for some genius back to school hacks that will make your life easier? Yep, it’s that time of year and moms everywhere are itching to get their hands on the school supply list so they can get a head start. Let’s be honest, most parents are STOKED to send their kids back to school or “preschool”. But, once it starts, we’re overwhelmed with the amount of preparation that it takes to get everyone dressed and off to school everyday. Insert: mind blowing back to school hacks for mom… because WE need strategy for survival.
Traveling with a toddler this summer?
Summer is the time for family road trips to beach destinations for days filled of fun in the sun. If you’re like us, we love taking trips to see our family and friends but there’s one thing I dread more than ANYTHING: the “getting there” part. Traveling with a toddler is *almost* the definition of insanity!
Let’s talk “green thumbs”. Most people think you either have one, or you don’t. Are you the girl who knows the doomed destiny of that beautiful new house plant you were gifted? Or can you bring your friend’s house plant back to life? Maybe you WISH you had a green thumb, but you don’t have a great track record so you gave up a long time ago. I want to give you hope and encourage you to start your very own veggie garden. That’s right, you CAN grow your own vegetables, even if you don’t have a great track record.
So here we have it: How to grow a veggie garden (for the girl who kills everything).
Being an adult is super fun until you come down with a headache. I mean really, you’re expected to continue doing your job, even when you feel like your eyes may pop out. At this point in your headache, losing your eyes sounds like it might not be too bad. I’ve been there more times than I can count and it’s pretty miserable. I’ve got some tricks I always use when trying to get fast headache relief.. and one of them night surprise you!
Ok, we aren’t married *yet*, but the past few months, we’ve found our relationship has been severely neglected. We didn’t do this on purpose, but we’ve had SO much going on in such a short period of time… and our relationship was not the beneficiary. This past weekend, we chose each other over everything else. I quickly learned what was “missing” and what your marriage is craving in the hustle and bustle of life.
