What I Do Wednesday – Laundry Essentials

It’s What I’m doing Wednesday and today I’m sharing my laundry essentials. I feel very passionate about certain laundry items and figured I would share these things with you!

First off, let’s talk laundry routine. There is literally ALWAYS at least one load running through the washer everyday. I throw all the kids clothing together and use the same detergent (will share it below!) and then separate undies, socks and towels and throw those together in a load. Obviously adult clothes separate from that.

World Sight Day 2021: Love Your Eyes

Each year, World Sight Day is recognized on the second Thursday of October and the purpose is to raise awareness about blindness, vision impairments and a reminder of the importance of eye exams and screenings.

Today, I see it necessary to spread this awareness and encourage you to take eye health very seriously – in particular being that advocate for our children. This is something they need us for! As a parent, it is our obligation to make sure we are aware of the vision developmental milestones and are actively listening and advocating for our kids.

If you’ve been following along, our daughter was diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia – along with esotropia, hyperopia (farsightedness) and strabismus – at the age of 5 months. She is now 5 years old and has had 2 eye alignment surgeries. I shared our diagnosis story last year and since publishing, have heard from many people sharing similar stories.

What’s Trending?! Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam at Home

Oh my goodness! Sharing one of my most favorite things with you today. If you’ve been to Starbucks and ordered the cold foam on top of your drink, you know how amazing it is! It is a cloud of heavenly sweetness that makes your coffee taste 1000x better!

I don’t have the chance to get to Starbucks a whole lot, which is a good thing too because it’s so expensive, so I’ve decided to enjoy my signature drink in the comforts of my own home! For today’s “What’s Trending” post – I’m recreating Starbucks vanilla sweet cream cold foam at home!

Let’s Look: Meal Plan

3 Comments

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Today, I’m linking up with my some of my favorite bloggers, Mix and Match Mama and A Little Bit of Everything, to share meal planning! It’s a good thing we are talking about this now rather than the beginning of summer. Summertime starts to get a little out of control. Some days I am good about planning and having dinner ready – other days we will snack and play all day outside until 7 pm rolls around and then start asking what is for dinner.

Meal planning during school has been much easier. There is time to prepare, THINK and hungry kiddos to feed after a school day! Here is how we meal plan for the week!
