For me, social media is more about memories, a scrapbook of sorts. I'm honest, raw, and probably share a bit too much. With that in mind, I'm very mindful of the accounts I follow. I don't seek the perfectly curated. I don't do hard leaning in one direction or another. I don't do angry or clickbait. It's not my thing. I'm open to differing opinions and a little mess.
With the last few years our family has had, fraught with trauma and death, I tend to seek pleasant, honest people to surround myself with. This is from tv shows to books to the few non-personal accounts I follow. If you find yourself looking for simple, wholesome content to periodically grace...
Overwhelmed, exhausted and don’t want to make another decision?
If you’re like me and you often run out of ideas, or motivation to cook, look to Costco for some help. Their ready made meals offer some great options for feeding a crowd, feeding a family, and having leftovers all at a reasonable price.
Multiple Options
The humble rotisserie chicken is affordable (still only $4.99), versatile and, best of all, already cooked! Eat it as is with some quick sides or utilize the meat for other meal options. We usually pull all of the meat and use it in jambalaya, enchiladas, homemade chicken salad or tacos. For taco night grab a jar of salsa and queso at Costco. Rotisserie chicken also freezes...
I’ll preface this by saying our first kiddo, Maverick, was never THIS sick … I’m not sure if this is a second kid thing or what, but WHEW. Mama’s tired is tired. Our youngest, Melody, has been sick since July with ear infections on top of random rashes, and colds, and we finally had surgery this month. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect other than having to put eardrops in her ears every day.
So I wanted to share just a few things I’ve learned from this experience. Many of these tips can honestly be helpful for any illness since there always seems to be something.
Quick and easy meals: I wanted to make things as easy...
It’s New Year's Resolution time!
Normally, I would scoff at making resolutions. I mean I’m the same person in 2023 that I was in 2022 but now I see them a little differently. It’s not about spontaneously becoming a new person; it’s appreciating who you are and embracing it, being proud of it, and loving who you are no matter what. (Emphasis on the no matter what.)
Your resolutions don’t have to look like typical plans everyone else may be doing or maybe they should. Here are my resolutions:
Motherhood: being a better parent is important to me. I absolutely love being a mother and there’s no way I could love my children more. I want my children to look...
Making a list and checking it twice.
If you are like me, you have probably made quite a few lists throughout the holiday season. So why not just continue that effort with a house cleaning list for 2023?
Now take a breath and relax. A cleaning routine for your household doesn’t have to take up a huge chunk of your life. Even if you despise mopping and dusting, you can get it all done.
Below are some ideas to help get your cleaning journey started.
You get a Chore. You Get a Chore. Everyone gets a Chore.
Get the whole family involved. Divide and conquer with a chore list. But how much can children truly help? Well of course that depends on their age....
