Bedroom Makeover

Last Minute Holiday Gifts

Last Minute Holiday Gifts

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is this weekend… I don’t know where this month went. With the holidays closer than ever, the pressure of getting everyone on your list gifts is on. I am a wait till the last minute shopper, and that’s okay because I have found the best deals less than a week out! So, don’t stress if you still have shopping,…

Who knew the snow would still be here in March?! T Who knew the snow would still be here in March?! The kids still are excited to get lots of ski time, which has meant me grabbing dinner and running it up to them before calling it a night. We love @jerseymikes because we can all find something we love & customize it! Some of the favorites are the Philly Cheesesteak, Turkey & Provolone, Chicken Bacon & Ranch, & a Turkey & Provolone bowl. The month of March is Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving, where all are invited to order in-store or through the app for pick up or delivery from your local Jersey Mike’s & make a donation to the designated charity partner. I remember volunteering as a youth to work Special Olympics events and those days were incredible. It's so easy to round up your purchase and/or donate $1, $3, or $5 in the Jersey Mike’s app. #jerseymikes #jerseymikespartner
You will teach them to fly, but they will not fly You will teach them to fly, but they will not fly your flight. You will teach them to dream, but they will not dream your dream. You will teach them to live, but they will not live your life. Nevertheless, in every flight, in every life, in every dream, the print of the way you taught them will remain. – Mother Teresa

It’s ok to be kind and fierce. It’s ok to be feisty and soft. It’s ok to dream, fail and succeed over and over again. Protect your peace and don’t let anyone dim your light. To the girls this reaches, you got this, keep pushing & keep putting one foot in front of the other. And to my own 2 beauties, I am the luckiest and believe in you more than you can believe.

songs, and colors I grew up with. Love the nostalgia. The kids put together more of the tray than I did & we took a photo with a phone camera…at night. Not my typical & I love it for those reasons. Hope you have a Merry Christmas! ā¤ļøšŸŒ²

My pull to be present & my push to be better. These 5. This little tornado of children that we’ve created who follow us around. It’s weird and also awesome that they are so similar to Steve & I. Except we hope that they can plan trips more than 2 weeks out because of the unnecessary stress that that adds to traveling with 6 šŸ˜‰

We swam under the stars and soaked up the sunshine. We adjusted and attempted to improve where we could. If I know love what love is & why life is full, it’s because of these ones right here. Hope you have a great long weekend! ā¤ļø
There couldn’t have been a more perfect audio fo There couldn’t have been a more perfect audio for today. Happy Birthday to my sweet sister. I couldn’t imagine life without you and while I’ve always needed my hand held, these last 9 months without our dad would have been impossible without her. This road of trying to figure out ā€œnow what?ā€ is much more bearable with her driving it with me. She’s the one who walks out to her garden and picks an entire dinner, knows all The Office lines, is my on call nurse, loves a good party and a classic chick flick. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and is the most patient mother. I enjoy that she is so well researched on anything and everything having to do with health, loves being a bee mom, having the style of a coastal grandma, and introducing her very crunchy ways of living to us. There isn’t an aspect of my life that she hasn’t touched or inspired me to be better at. I hope your trip in Florida has been the dreamiest and can’t wait to see if your homemade sunscreen actually worked šŸ’™šŸ„°
#ad Our 3 older kids are in the middle of tennis s #ad Our 3 older kids are in the middle of tennis season & loving it! Their main request? Bring Nature Valleyā„¢ bars when I'm the mom in charge of snacks. It feels like a lot of our afternoons are spent by a court or on a field, running from school to practice, or to a game. I always have these on hand. Did you know that 1 in every 8 people face hunger, including nearly 12 million children? I hate to admit I had no idea the number was this staggering & heartbreaking. It touches every community and for the next couple of weeks, I will be stocking up on some of our family favorites on my trips to @walmart , where General Mills is donatingĀ to @feedingamerica . It is simple and small, but can make a difference.
For every participating General Mills product purchased at Walmart between 4/18/22 and 5/15/22, General Mills will donate $0.10 to Feeding AmericaĀ® - enough to help Feeding America secure 1 meal on behalf of its member food banks – up to a maximum total donation of $1,500,000 in conjunction with this program. See Walmart.com/FightHunger for more information. #fighthungersparkchange #fighthunger @nature_valley

"Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days "Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays. But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come. No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come. In this life or the next, Sunday will come."
- Joseph B. Wirthlin
