The Jean Jacket.... it has been through trend after trend. It comes in so many styles and fits but it’s definitely one of my top 5 closet staples! What is one item you have to have in your closet? .

Mom rut.... it happens! Here are just a few ways I avoid and/or pull myself out of it. The rest will be hitting the blog soon!
1. Get ready for the day
2. Self Care (regular hair appt., nails done (even if I do them myself) and anything else that makes you feel good about yourself.
3. In some form or another have an outlet that allows you to be you!
How do you avoid mom rut?

Helicopter/hovering parents get a bad rap. I am definitely a helicopter mom but not to keep them from making mistakes or getting hurt. Believe me I let them be kids. I hover to make sure they are being kind and not mean to other kids and even adults.
You can raise your kids any way you want! I will not judge because parenting is hard and kids are all different. I will not judge because I am not a perfect mom (news flash no one is). I won’t judge you for feeding them organic food or junk food. I won’t judge you for letting them watch TV or play with an iPad. I won’t judge you for using certain products. I won’t judge you for raising your kids the way you want. However if your kid is picking on mine.... momma bear might come out.
If we all stop mom shaming and judging and just concentrate on raising nice kids this whole parenting thing just might be a little easier. Just saying.... .

According to the Urban Dictionary.....
Momiform is an outfit worn by a 30 something mom that has lost all sense of style.
Typical momiform-capri pants, a t-shirt (plain or of the disney variety) and either ballet flats or Crocs (preferably the same color as the t-shirt)
or A terry cloth or velour track suit and Ugg boots. Brown is typically the color of choice.

To me the ultimate momiform is something I can wear all day, do all the things in (whatever that is), and not need to change into comfy clothes to sit down at the end of the day.
What’s your typical momiform?!?

Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.... There really is something so freeing about letting things go and not holding grudges. The older I get the more and more I realize this.
Let go of the negative energy
Let go of the bad friendships
Let go of the things you cannot control
Let go of the worry and wonder of what others may think

Let go of perfection and just be present
But HOLD on to the things AND PEOPLE that you love!
What is something you want to let go of? .

✔️cleaning/baking are my stress relievers ✔️I love Christmas morning more than most kids ✔️I love painting (and I don’t mean art)

Parenting.... I swear is an everyday learning experience. One of our biggest struggles is eating. Yes, I try to make things the kids will eat or at least try but even if they like it, it’s still a struggle. Some nights would go smoother than others but most nights we would have to say “eat your food” about a hundred times. The last few meals have been a bit different.... watch my Instagram stories to find out the change.
What is one of your biggest parenting battles?!? .

“Alexa, food the laundry” I’m curious what is the most requested thing Alexa is asked in your home.... As for our home it’s “Alexa play The Greatest Show,” “Alexa play Meet Me in the Middle,” “Alexa play Here With Me,” “Alexa play Old Town Road,” “Alexa play Git Up”. No joke this is my day with Alexa OVER AND OVER ANS OVER! I will add that they have started to tell her that they love her 😂 .

4 or 5 stops on the Spoon River Valley Senic Drive and all I have to show for it is this giant bag of Kettle corn and a super cute little Santa 🤷‍♀️. Can you walk past the kettle corn or do you have to buy it too?
