Looking at Col like, “must be nice to feel that chill right now.” 😂 I’m grateful for so many things but, I’m especially grateful lately for being able to enjoy the beautiful weather in our back yard while we’re here at home. We have sunshine. We have a warm breeze. We have fresh air. AND-We have each other. .

Well, if self quarantine has taught me anything, it’s that kids can pretty much entertain themselves with just about any piece of trash you give them. We’ve resorted to cardboard box play after missing today’s first virtual VPK Zoom call. Winning. 👌🏻👏🏻 #wheresmytrophy #momoftheyear

Self care. A thing we all need to remember is so important right now. .

Yesterday in stories I shared a vulnerable side of me. Last year, I turned thirty and ever since-I’ve felt yuck in my own skin. It’s been rough internally and the other night I finally broke. Instead of hoarding the cry and holding back the tears any longer, I let it out so I could finally start to move on and focus on embracing the new me. The me who has discoloration all over her face. The me with wrinkles and frown lines. The me with eyebrows that aren’t even cousins anymore. The me with a lot of hair loss. And the me who grew four children in her body who have all helped to mold me into this me that I need to care about a little, A LOT more, than I currently do. So after the other night’s epic meltdown and a full day of solitude, I made some time for new Steph today. I showered, shaved, Washed my hair, brushed my teeth, and got a little fancy with this mud mask that’s been sitting in our bathroom unused for forever while listening to Rach’s audio version of #girlwashyourface. All while feeling incredibly grateful that I even have the opportunity to do so right now while so many healthcare workers are on our frontline away from their families and scared shitless of what’s to come in these next two weeks. .
.
.
Let’s keep on this pattern friends and stay HOME. Focus on giving yourself a little self care in these days. In case you need it from someone, I’m giving you total permission to grant your kids all the extra screen time right now so you can have even just 15 minutes for that shower you’ve been dying to have (you know the one where you’re not interrupted by a toddler or man child in need of something that could have totally waited ten mins). So, here it is: PERMISSION GRANTED.

Wanna know how our “Spring Break” is going?! L

Wanna know how our “Spring Break” is going?! Let me tell you-(I have to preface this by saying I am SO grateful for our health and safety. I know others can not say the same and I’m aware that these things are only trivial). Today’s morning wake up call was a toddler farting into our faces (imagine the sounds coming from a full size German Shepherd) shouting, “DADDY I FARTED ON YEWWW. I FART.” Followed by a teenage meltdown in the body of an 8 year old...annddddd a kid snapping himself in the cheekbone with swimming goggles which resulted in a black eye. We’re basically living off of pedialyte popsicles, overcooked macaroni, and PB&J sandwiches these days. So, this evening-we’re just saying F&@$ it and eating popsicles before dinner, spending time on our front porch, and probably staying up far past bedtime but, Lord knows this free for all has to stop at some point - I’ve gotta get some sort of routine back next week or none of us will last long in this quarantine. I wanna know- how’s your isolation going? (See how other ladies are using the #creativeathomechallenge to stay sane and join us!! Swipe the image above!)

Does anyone else have chapped hands from all the s

Does anyone else have chapped hands from all the sanitizing and hand washing you’ve been doing? 🙋🏼‍♀️ We’re making the most of being at home this week but, I can tell the boys are already getting a liiiiiiittle stir crazy. They’ve been holding it together for the most part though, so-kudos to them. Meanwhile, I’ve spent the last 5 days starring down at my phone for way too many hours. Whether it be watching the news updates or reading everyone’s posts with their Facebook friends’ super opinionated replies. It’s weird. Everything is just weird but, I appreciate ALL of you here...especially during this time. To show you all how much I love you AND to keep you as highly as sanitized as possible right now, I have a SANITATION CHALLENGE going on in my stories and I’m going to give away a $50 Amazon gift card to one of you! (You know-to buy some moisturizer for ya chapped hands 💁🏼‍♀️.) Hop into my stories to see 5 things you should sanitize RIGHT NOW. Love you all. Stay safe, stay humble, STAY HOME. (Also, check out the ladies from the #creativeathomechallenge 🙌🏻🙌🏻)
