  • PARENTING :: Independent Play

    July 24, 2019 /

    If you’re beginning your journey into less is more with the screen time, you may be left wondering, “okay, but now what?” For a while I followed resources like popular toddler activity Instagram and Pinterest accounts. All of which is great. But all that prep and planning lead me to mass burnout in about 3 days. This mama isn’t meant for organized childhood. Not my vibe. Realizing there’s nothing wrong with (and, actually, a lot of developmental positives for) a lazier style of parenting was like finally receiving a permission slip to be the mom I knew how to be.

It’s such a hot button topic, that I’ve avoided this post for a long time. But it’s been requested. And requested some more. So I’m finally going there. We were avid users.

Have you ever tried this? I love finding ways to m Have you ever tried this? I love finding ways to make the most out of what I have on hand. One fun new way to make old things new again… layering nail colors. 🤩 
I learned this awesome tip from @hannahs_of_somerset Change it up and LAYER your polished! Putting a black or white (or even another color) underneath a colored polish is an awesome way to change a color up. It worked super great to add moody black undertones to this medium purple! Would you try this?
