  • I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else but you. Happy Father’s Day to one very special man. Thank you for being our world. . #fathersday2018 #myguys #fatheroffour #dadlife #dadlifeisthebestlife #ourhero #justlikedad
  • I’ve noticed that the older I get, the more I WANT to take care of myself. Nurture myself, in every way I can. _________ When I find myself getting stressed, or overwhelmed - my nutrition and self care routine becomes even that much more important. ________ I can remember back to a time when this wasn’t always the case. When I was stressed, I would make a huge bowl of popcorn and open a bottle of rose (Not that I still don’t do that every now and then....let’s be honest ;)), but I can tell you that it never once made me feel better. _________ But you know what does??? A good nights sleep, a bubble bath and good book before bed, yoga, a hot cup of tea, and eating well so that my body has energy and fuel to get me thorough these busy days. It may not always feel as “satisfying” in the moment, but these little steps to take care of myself ALWAYS pay off. Our small, daily choices in how we take care of ourselves, how we talk to ourselves, and how we nurture ourselves matter...... _______ This spicy Buddha bowl is one of my favorite clean recipes that is as delicious as it is nutritious. An amazingly yummy way to take care of ME. __________ What are some of the ways you take care of yourself when things are hectic or stressful? How do you deal with stress? Share with us.... .

  • It’s hard to believe that in just a few short weeks this little house will no longer be our home. We have ALL the emotions in our house these days - excited, nervous, anxious, sad. Transitions are never easy, for anyone. But nothing worthwhile in life ever is. ________ I tell my kids all the time, it’s ok to be scared. It’s ok to be nervous. It’s ok to feel anxious. But KEEP GOING. There are amazing things waiting on the other side... ________ Meanwhile, I haven’t even looked at a packing box 🤦‍♀️. Trying not to stress this time around. I have a feeling everything will make it to Chicago (with or without me stressing about it!). ________ What about you? How do you handle transitions? Any tips on how to make this move a little more.....well let’s say, graceful? . #intentionalliving #embracingtheseasons #embracingchange #movingtime #alwaysforward #leapoffaith #chicagobound #headinghome #mindfulparenting #letthepackingbegin
  • Today was most mondayest of all Mondays. Anyone else feeling that way too? Like you could just stay in bed. all. day. long. ________ I woke up this morning feeling a little blue (which is not like me). My parents were here visiting over the weekend and left early this morning. It was our last set of visitors before our big move. ________ Waving good bye to them as they pulled out of our drive got my mind racing in about a million different directions.....but when it finally stopped, one thing was clear. Everything is going to be ok. ________ So I hugged my four people a little tighter before we headed back inside. Together we sat and chatted, over a bowl of our favorite granola, about ALL of our feelings regarding our big move. _______ It’s funny how such a small, simple thing, like sharing a bowl of granola with someone you love, almost instantly brightens your day. Feeling grateful for those few moments to start this week. ________ What about you? How did you start your Monday? Hope it was enjoying something delicious with someone you love... .

  • Can we just pretend it’s Friday already?! I don’t know about you, but I’m counting down the hours until the weekend is here. I can’t wait to snuggle up and cuddle with this little lady. 24 hours and counting..... . #mindfulparenting #intentionalliving #letthembelittle #babiesdontkeep #embracingmotherhood #motherhoodalive #motherhoodunplugged
  • We have a “taco party” almost weekly in our house. It’s for sure our favorite week night meal. Not because it’s some gourmet meal - but because it gets us ALL involved. The table is filled with little hands reaching for different toppings wanting to make their own creations. It gets us talking, and sharing and laughing. It’s what food is meant to do - bring us together. _________ This simple, rustic soup is what I make each week AFTER our “taco party”. It’s the leftovers of our favorite week night meal, all simmered together to create something pretty darn special. _________ I guess in some small way this soup makes me happy because it reminds me of my little crew - lots of little hands reaching across the table, but this time all in one delicious bowl. ________ What food makes your family come together? What do you all reach across the table together to share?? .

  • I sometimes wonder if I’m doing the right thing as a mom. If I’m leading them down the right path. And then a simple moment comes along and gently reminds me, “yep, the kids are gonna be alright”. ________ This weekend Asher asked me if he could make a dessert on his own, one that he learned to make in an after school cooking club. Instead of wanting to make them for us to enjoy - he asked if I would drive him around our little town so he could take them to some of his friends, as a surprise to leave on their doorsteps. Just a simple, sweet act of kindness. Which turned out to be the highlight of our day. ________ My kids aren’t perfect. I’m not perfect. We mess up, each of us, every day. But there’s a lot of good there too. A lot of it. And it comes out in the simplest of ways. Like leaving little Oreo truffles on a porch for a friend. _________ My little nine year old reminded me this weekend that no act of kindness is ever too small..... __________ Maybe we could all use that reminder. What small acts of kindness can you go out and do? Maybe together we can all help brighten each other’s day. . #graceinthecrumbs #smallactsofkindness #spreadjoy #teachthemyoung #intentionalliving #mindfulparenting #soakingitup #learningfrommykids #theyamazeme #dogood #littlekidsbighearts #spreadlove #foodislove
  • We love a lazy Saturday spent at home - especially when it includes a few scoops of homemade ice cream on our back porch. ________ It’s hot and humid here in Connecticut today, so we’re extra excited about enjoying this blackberry and honey ice cream. The little boys helped me make it a few days ago, and it is soooo yummy. Tart juicy berries and sweet floral honey - the perfect combination for this creamy smooth treat. ________ What are you enjoying on your back porch this weekend?! Hopefully something sweet and delicious! .
