On Motherhood
I started my day laying in bed saying specific prayers over each of my kids and for myself as I prepared to jump into another week filled with unexpected virtual school, unusually extra cold temperatures, frozen water pipes and a stir crazy family who’d been cooped up inside for far too long with dangerously low […]
Normally when school is finally out for summer, my attitude towards routines, schedules and learning goals is SEE YA LATER!!! I usually look forward to a relaxed vibe with nothing on our calendar except chilling and resting and doing whatever we want (it feels like MY summer break too, because we do part-time homeschool, ha! […]
*This post is sponsored by The Company StoreFamily movie night! This is one of our very favorite weekly traditions, and we love piling on the couch with snacks and snuggles for a good movie together to sort of wrap up the week. Doesn’t get much better than that…unless it’s a CHRISTMAS movie night, haha! We […]
Hey friends! We are headed to take some pics at a local pumpkin patch, and I wanted to pull some outfits for the fam that would coordinate for the photo ops while we are there. I don’t necessarily want all six of us to match, but I do want a few specific colors distributed throughout […]
So I’ve seen these salt dough ornaments for as long as I can remember, but I’ve never tried making them with the girls! Thought it would be fun to redecorate their playroom for fall just a little bit, so we tackled the project together today! Because two of my daughters have Celiac, even touching gluten […]
Confession: letting my kids “help” in the kitchen is NOT my favorite thing to do. Like, at all. The mess, the chaos, the questions…GAH! Mommy’s brains hurt afterward, but dadgum if their little hearts aren’t full, too. So. I’m trying to be better about saying yes when they ask to help me cook or bake, […]
Apparently it was Bring Your Daughter to Work day, because this little one insisted on joining me for a fall try-on…so we changed courses and turned it into a Mommy and me fall outfit sesh together! Thought these ideas could be helpful for building out family picture outfits or for those who are planning for […]
Y’all are the ones who introduced me to FabFitFun and their boxes o’ goodies, and you were right: it’s a little bit of happy delivered to my doorstep four times a year. 🙂 Truly makes me smile to see these boxes come my way, and this box might be my favorite…because I got to customize […]
Hey guys! Okay, I get lots and lots and LOTS of questions whenever my kiddos appear on my Instagram stories during the school week and then are gone the next day, so I thought I’d compile your FAQ’s about hybrid homeschool to hopefully shed some light! **HEAR ME: this is just what works for our […]
Our family’s favorite breakfast is French toast, and every time I share Instagram stories of us making it, I’m asked for the recipe…which I’ve never written down! Until today! My kiddos helped me figure out our measurements for our fam’s fave morning treat, so here it is for y’all to enjoy, too! You can use […]
Currently having all the feelings about my kiddos heading back to school in just a handful of days, and, even though they technically only attend school away from home two days a week, the laidback summer vibes are slowing going by the wayside to be replaced with structure and routine. And those other three days […]
It seems keeping my four little girls in clothes that actually fit their constantly growing bodies is a part-time job. Just about the minute I get everyone settled with shoes for all occasions, jeans that still reach the ankle (and when they don’t anymore, can we call them capris for a bit…?), and all the […]
