Slow Down with Simple Soul Care Ideas
Plus a free printable for when you need to refuel! I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been putting myself majorly on the back burner. Filling ourselves up is the only way we are able to give back and serve others, as well as our home. So if we are running on empty, we aren’t going to get very far in our relationships or goals. Enter, self care. If you’ve been here before, you probably know my take on the term self care. Long story short, I believe we need more than the commercialized version we know today. In searching out self care, we see these acts are often quick fixes,…
Ten Completely Free and Simple Ways to Self Care
Self care is all the rage for today’s mama. And I get it. Less martyr. More intention. Being a good mom doesn’t mean you sacrifice every moment of every day. But now we’ve created a cross culture, where if you aren’t getting these luxurious self care moments, you aren’t momming right either. And this can leave us feeling even more depleted. A few years in to parenting I felt so frustrated. We are told because we are moms, we deserve all this luxurious me time. Elaborate (and expensive) pampering sessions, endless beauty products, time away from my kids. So why wasn’t it happening? And when I did take that time,…

Our Social Responsibility
Here are some steps we are taking to make sure we are doing OUR part in all of the recent changes. Choosing social responsibility We are social distancing. I realize the privilege I have as I was already a stay at home mom, which makes this decision a lot easier. However, we are now practicing social distancing for the foreseeable future. What does this mean? We will be keeping our children home from school, effective immediately (even though our schools are still open). We have also cancelled our attendance to all birthday parties, social events, and play dates. That even means no more outdoor playtime with the neighborhood kids. Does…

READ :: It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way
To preface: I’m not going through a crisis in my current season of life. We have no struggles with infidelity. I’m not fighting any major battles health wise, or the like. I share none of the major storylines of this book. I’m somewhere in that in between phase, stuck in the middle of the high highs, and the low lows. And for me, this is one of the scarier spots to be. Because I fear the unknown of what’s next. Will it be an amazing opportunity for our family? Or will a heart wrenching catastrophe be on the horizon. The inability to control the unknown is a major fear for…
Cheesy Mexican Spinach Dip ::: ONLY 192 Calories Per Serving!
GUYSSSSS!!! OMGGGGGG!!! Hubby went to the store to get snacks for the first Packer game of the season (GO PACK GO!). He usually makes something decadent and cheesy and delish. And I’m left about 1,000 calories fuller and extraaa sluggish. So I may have had a mini freak out and begged him for something less intense. But still dippy and extra delish. Because I prefer to request the impossible. Well ladies, hubby pulled through, and he pulled through with something FIERCE! Check out the recipe here for today’s Cheesy Mexican Spinach Dip, from Carl’s Bad Cravings. Only prob was Carl left out the calorie count. So I plugged the recipe…
38 Months Nursing and Feeling Touched Out
It’s national breastfeeding awareness month AND world breastfeeding week! I’m a breastfeeder 38+ months with three babies so far. I’ve experienced some major highs (nursing in public like a ǫᴜᴇᴇɴ). I’ve also experienced some major lows (feeling touched out). I only share them because when I was searching for a lifeline in the darkest moments, I couldn’t find much on the topic. I’m hoping by putting it out there, that one night, during one momma’s extensive midnight Google search, she’ll find this post and see it’ll all be ok. Here’s what I’ve learned along the way. I loved every minute of nursing our first. Twenty four hours born and short…
Simplicity Parenting: a mama’s must read!
My recent delve down the rabbit hole that is known as minimalism has drawn me to a new branch of parenting. Minimalistic Parenting. Not because I love self help books. Because I prefer a good romance novel any day over the self help section. But as I’ve minimized our life and home bit by bit (and when I say bit by bit, I’m talking van and truck loads of stuff removed from our home), I’ve slowly seen the simple rewards creep in. A quieter home, happier children, better communication with my husband, a lighter heart, a stronger spiritual connection with God. It really has placed a simplicity and zen into our…
