Confession… my Christmas tree has been up for 2 weeks now. (Muahaha.) It’s safe to say, the spirit of the holiday season is alive and well in our house. And if we weren’t already pushing for it ourselves, we’ve already received requests for gift ideas from friends and family for our little ones.
I can’t help but tear up as I write this, because to me, there is no greater role than the one I have as being a mother. It’s without a doubt, the ultimate badge of pride and the highest-ranked position I can ever assume. That’s why it may not be “so” surprising that one of my biggest ambitions is to be a cheerleader for my daughter.
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!
Just imagine you are telling someone about a *HUGE* new life decision. Excitement radiates from your face, you deliver the news full of joy, and then you wait for the obvious encouraging response. But instead of excitement, something else happens. You notice your audience slightly cringe, become wide-eyed and then… realize their error before quickly trying to cover it up. This is what it’s like telling “most” people, you are deciding to homeschool.
I’m back at it again with another post regarding one of my favorite topics… FOOD. A huge part of my daily joy comes from what I eat. (Yes, I’m the woman who dreams about dinner right after I eat lunch.) I love food and aim to eat GOOD. I’m just trying to live my best life, and want to ensure that my little one does the same! That’s why today I’m talking all about toddler meal prep.
Thinking about becoming a stay at home mom soon?
Becoming a stay at home mom (SAHM) with your babies is a total dream job for some people. Pajamas, the comfort of your home, your sweet baby, endless snuggles, and precious time watching your little one grow up before your eyes… the possibilities are endless.
Have you ever tried to encourage toy clean up for the day and it just doesn’t go well? Do you constantly have to nag your child to stay on task or follow behind them to make sure they are putting things in the right place? You know you need to teach your kids to pick up after themselves but at the same time it would go so much faster if you just did it yourself? Yea, I feel you.
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.
All couples have “their place” right? Carowinds is one of ours. Just minutes south of Charlotte, straddling the North Carolina/South Carolina state lines, Zach and I have turned to Carowinds for MANY a day date. We have the absolute best time together! We share so many laughs and so much excitement from being flung in the air at maximum speeds. We love our alone time to ride all the big rides but have also learned to love Carowinds with toddlers. They love it too! (Thrill seekers in the making. 😉 )
