This carmelitas recipe is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, go-to recipe. It’s so easy and it’s so good I never have any leftovers. I begged my…

4th of July Meltaway Cookies

I love meltaway cookies! Not just because they are so yummy, but because they are perfect to have at parties. They are small, easy to grab finger foods. The kids can grab these ones, pop them in their mouths and run away without making a huge mess. The only downfall is that because they are so small, you can easily eat more than you were…

Delicious Copycat Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

I love the Saturday mornings that we can wake up, have a lazy start, and make homemade Cinnamon Rolls. Especially when I use this recipe and my kids can 100% help out in the kitchen. They love it and I love it. This recipe is similar to Cinnabon’s Cinnamon Rolls & who doesn’t love Cinnabon?! I couldn’t resist posting this perfect bedhead. She seriously wakes…

Instagram post 17933248270527422 To my person on her birthday, plus a day 😉She is my 2nd mom. Teaches me. Builds me up. Calls me out. Has helped me immensely with my health. Loves my babies. Fills so many cups in my life. Calls me Jennifer & I know I’m in trouble. She listens to Mozart, Beethoven & Andrea Bocelli while I listen to Tim McGraw, & pretty much everything else. She knows every line from The Office & I can’t remember what I did this morning 🙈 She makes most things from scratch & I am in a season of easy. She’s trained her hair to not like a wash & my hair has been trained to not like dry shampoo. Loves a good trip just like I do. I don’t know what I did to deserve her, maybe it was her calm that God decided my parents deserved after me 😁 . To know her is to love her. Do you have a sister or a friend that has become a sister? What is your favorite thing to do with them? Our birthdays are a week apart so I’m feeling the itch to celebrate something together.
Instagram post 17873831060396197 Let it be hard. Let it be scary. And then do it anyway. . 5 days ago, I launched a live class about the beauty of Pinterest. I didn’t want to worry about the logistics of a course & for sure didn’t have a perfect “launch timeline.” In a nutshell, I impulsively put something out to stop myself from coming up with all the excuses. . What I do know is that for the past couple of years, I’ve loved talking about, trying, testing, and learning about Pinterest. As much as I love this visual app, I don’t love or recommend having all of your creative eggs in one basket. I love that content created in 2013 & 2017 are still bringing me blog traffic because they’ve gained massive traffic on Pinterest. Who knew a deer themed party would still be so on trend 8 years after it was thrown?! . The class is tomorrow evening & I am thrilled. I used to measure success here on the vanity metrics of how many could be reached & how many would engage. Somewhere along the way, a switch flipped & I started chatting like I was chatting to my good friend & not a crowd. So if there is one woman that I’ve struck a chord with about putting your content here and there, I hope to see you tomorrow. If there’s 5 of us, be ready for me to try and awkwardly plan a girls trip & send you cookies. I really owe you for letting me step into trying something new & helping me find some courage. 💙 Only took me 6 months after Suzy School, & feeling proud that it wasn’t a year.
Instagram post 17913940228686922 #ad The sun has been shining which means we look for every possible opportunity to get outside! Picnic for every meal, sure! #ad If you've ever watched my stories on a Monday, you might know that I'm obsessed with shopping at Costco & Costco delivery. For a limited time, when you grab your @generalmills favorites, they will donate $200,000 to @cmnhospitals . . Children's Miracle Network Hospitals raises funds & awareness for 170 member hospitals that provide 32 million treatments each year to kids across the US & Canada. Kids like Chloe, who was diagnosed with an invasive strain of bacteria that was emitting toxins into her bloodstream & transformed into toxic shock syndrome. And Bella, who struggled with fear and anxiety who is now helping to break down the negative stigma around mental health. You change kids' health and you change the future.
Instagram post 17877024296292564 All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. . I’ve been trying to caption my thoughts all day and they come back to this. I love being around people & having my children’s friends over because our front door was always open. I love being on the sidelines and attending as many games as I can because she has always been her kids #1 fans. I am a chauffeur, a cook, a lover, a giver, a nurse, a teacher, a comforter, a friend. Everything I am is everything she glorified. She loved & cherished those years while her babies were home. In my eyes she was perfect & now as a mom, I know she tried and failed just as much as I do. I try and fail, build and break, try and succeed, break and build picking up piece by piece. . I love being a mom to my babies. They stretch me to my limits and teach me more than I thought was possible. . Hope you’ve all had a Happy Mother’s Day! 💙
Instagram post 18222171424000300 [Ad] Summer is coming! This school year has been anything but normal, so we love to randomly celebrate the little things! We grabbed Dreyer’s® Slow Churned Vanilla Ice Cream from @dollargeneral & put together every possible topping we could think of. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with an ice cream party after school one day. @dreyers brings back so many fond memories from my childhood & I hope that it will do the same for my babies. Next time you are at @dollargeneral , grab Dreyer's & celebrate your small wins too! And don't forget, from 5/16-5/29, visit the Dollar General Digital Coupon Gallery to save $1.00 on 1.5qt Dreyer's's®. #DollarGeneral #DollarGeneralFinds
Instagram post 17883943127300743 I think one of my favorite things is laughing with someone & realizing half way through how much you enjoy them & their existence. . I’ve learned though the years is happiness doesn’t come from a number on a scale. Real love doesn’t come from a number. Acceptance for my body & what we have accomplished together doesn’t ever come down to the number. I appreciate the jiggly arms that somehow have found the strength to carry car seats, diaper bags, babies, toddlers & now big kids. I’m thankful for the tummy that will always have signs that it carefully grew & kept 4 babies safe. I know what a real miracle in itself that is. I’m grateful for hands that keep moving, are always there to rub a back, make a meal, teach a job, & to hold onto. Dear body, I love you. . Mommy & me outfits will have my heart for as long as my girls will let us match. They have been begging to wear these everyday since we got them from @royalandreese 💕 They’re launching an activewear line today & workout packages. They’ve got every piece of workout clothing you could want. Tanks, bras, bikers, leggings, cropped leggings, sweatshirts etc! Tons of patterns to choose from & sizing from S-6X & youth 2T-20. 🥳 Use JEN for free shipping through the weekend.
Instagram post 17874000806304378 Earth is not a platform for human life. It’s a living being. We’re not on it, but part of it. It’s health is our health. Thomas Moore . Love celebrating beautiful Mother Earth & the places we have gotten to see & the beauty we have yet to see. I am in awe daily of the natural beauties around us. . Where is your favorite place to go?
Instagram post 17870531150470238 Today’s little moments become tomorrow’s precious memories. . I hope they have fond memories of their mom racing down waterslides with them, relaxing in the lazy river, ordering Pina Colada’s on repeat, taking them all to a buffet on my own, challenging them & sometimes forcing them to try new things (check out Sydney’s face on the tiny water slide ☺️)... . But really, I hope they know spending time with them is most important to me & where my most fond & precious memories are built. 💙
Instagram post 17868571544455043 Have you kept special cards throughout the years that have really meant something to you? #ad . I have a small box with cards from my parents, my grandma, my husband, & my kids. I love seeing how the handwriting has changed over the years & how a card can say the words I struggle to put down on paper. Times have been tough, but moms are tougher. The girls & I decided to throw a brunch for my mom to celebrate her & show gratitude for all she does for us. We stocked up on @amgreetings at @walmart & took advantage of the buy 2 cards, get 1 free deal they've got going on so we can celebrate all the moms in our life. They all deserve some love and appreciation for helping build our villages. Shop Now: https://ahalogy.link/WalmartMothersDay
