Sharing some of our recent Amazon purchases recently! A lot of my purchases had to do with starting seedlings in our basement – I needed some supplies and I included a super food beauty blend that was recommended to my husband (I’m just as shocked as you are, ha!) that I cannot wait to share with you!

Becoming a stay at home Mom excited me! While I was a little nervous about making the transition, I was also so ready to manage the household and grab hold to some sort of routine. I searched Pinterest all the time for sample schedules prior to leaving my marketing career and figured I would share our routine if you happen to be a working Mom making the leap to SAHM or just someone who likes to see how others do things (this is totally me, I’m so nosy!)
Today I wanted to share a sample of our routine around here – particularly for the boys – Tommy is nearly 18 months and JP is 3 years old. I followed this same exact schedule since JP was around 12 months and it still continues to work for him (with some modifications) and Tommy. I was recently chatting with a Mom and her son is almost 2. She was telling me his morning nap was rough and his naps (he was still doing two naps a day) felt really short. I suggested switching him to one nap a day as he was probably not tired at that time of the day anymore. She seemed hesitant because as a Mom, it is great to have some free time to get things done, but once I mentioned the afternoon naps were 3 hours, she couldn’t believe it!

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Today, starts a new year of “Let’s Look…” with some of my favorite bloggers to take a look at my coffee bar area! Excited to be sharing this little area because it is used EVERY.DAY! One thing I absolutely love about this space is switching up the decor on metal tier stand on a monthly basis! It is fun to have a little seasonal pop of color in this area. Now grab yourself a cup of coffee and let’s chat my coffee bar!

Happy New Year’s Eve! When I think back on 2020, it is easy to think back on the not so great things. Our “norms” have been transformed completely. Instead of moving through our crazy, chaotic and busy lives, we were forced to slow down, cancel our plans and adjust to a quarantine life.
While that was an inconvenience and could be viewed in a negative light, I want to rather view 2020 in a more positive light. What were some things that came to light for you in 2021 and how can you apply them in every day life? Slowing down, accepting that God is in control and communicating that message to myself has changed my mindset. It became evident to me when reflecting on the year, that the goal for myself and my family this year is to challenge ourselves to help and serve others. How can I be a better person, friend, citizen. There are so many things out of our control and the selfish approach would be to take control of it all ourselves and do things without realizing its affects on those around us.
In 2020, I feel I’ve personally been tested in so many different facets of my life. Between politics, relationships, parenting, zero normalcy, social media and a wild main stream media challenging our daily lives – I was able to find what triggers me in terms of becoming angry, impatient, judgey and distrought. Discovering these triggers has been a huge eye opener and really allowed me to see what is TRULY important a little more clearly. Actions speak louder than words but when words are needed, how do you use them properly?
