✋🏻✨5 to THRIVE: take back control over your everyday. 👩‍👧‍👧Yes, motherhood is hard. But that’s not all it’s meant to be. It’s not meant to anchor us in counting down minutes til bedtime, it’s meant to give us a reason to soar 💛 What is preventing you from seeing the joy during your day to day? Or in finding the magic in the mundane moments? How can you look over the waves and see the sun? . 👉🏻Enter: 5 to Thrive. A short and sweet little list of five things you absolutely want to do during your day in order to T H R I V E. Thanks to our amazing @mops_international Fallbrook leader @kaykoleszar this morning, I discovered this method of setting yourself up for success to keep your mental health in check! . 🌪There are some weeks where I struggle to make the most of my days, and I just end up feeling frazzled or anxious or stressed about not being able to do even the simplest thing - like shower, or drink/eat in peace, or even get dressed. . ✋🏻Making a 5 to Thrive list changes all that - it allows you to set five incredibly attainable goals for yourself to get done in one day. They can be different each day or each week, or change as your season changes. . 📝The point and purpose of making this list is to take back control over your mental health, and take baby steps towards showing up for yourself. . 🙋🏼‍♀️I’m sharing in stories what that looks like, and what’s on my personal 5 to Thrive list!

💗Valentine Slime💗 I found this confetti slime kit at @target the other week, and thought it was perfect for Izzy as a valentine sensory activity! Would you believe it’s her first time playing with slime?! Are we late to the party or what 😅 She loved it and played with it for a long time this morning! Best part was it took just about a minute to put together. Swipe to see what it looks like finished👉🏻 . I just finished making her craft and play area in the living room a LOT more organized, and I only used 2 things - storage bins, and a label maker! Head to my stories today to see how it turned out 😊

#nationalwinniethepoohday was yesterday and I have to say - I’m sooooo happy we have been able to do Disney so often with our girls! This moment, and swipe for another sweet one...tug at my heart strings. It reminds me of the joy this season of motherhood brings, where everything is make believe and magical👆🏻😭😍 . I have a couple of blog posts up in my bio all about taking toddlers/babies to Disneyland — sharing my top tips on where to eat, what to do, and how you can still have fun there with little ones!✨

A healthy breakfast scramble that is filling and delicious AND healthy?? ✔️Check and check! I love whipping up these scramble bowls because they’re so easy, super quick, you can make a ton, and they’re toddler-approved (yummy and colorful!). Here are the ingredients for the one I made today: . 🥚2 Eggs (or sub tofu) 🍗Chicken Apple Sausage 🍅Grape tomatoes 🌶Bell Peppers or sweet peppers 🍄Mushrooms 🥔Roasted Baby Potatoes 🍃Baby spinach 🧂Seasoning of choice (red pepper flakes, black pepper, paprika, thyme, oregano, dill, etc.) 🥑🧀Sliced avocado, shredded cheese 👇🏻 1. Scramble the eggs or tofu in a large skillet. Add spinach and tomatoes to scramble, and let wilt while continuing to scramble the eggs. Remove from heat and set aside. 2. In a small skillet, add chopped veggies of choice and seasonings with a drizzle of oil and cook until golden and fragrant. 3. Pour scramble into veggies skillet and toss together. Add any additional seasoning to taste, and top with avocado (and shredded cheese if you’d like!) before serving. 🍽 I like to have a small bowl of fresh fruit on the side too — normally I’d do chopped peaches, nectarines, strawberries, clementines, or raspberries. Do you ever make breakfast bowls like this?

Lovely little lady turned 8 months last week 💗 And I can’t wrap my mind around how she will be 1 year in just a handful of months!!!!! My favorite thing she does is say “mom” and I also love the way her eyes lift up when she laughs. This sweet little pom pom headband made by @aliceandjosie will be live in her shop this coming Friday at 11am CST - I’m sure these will sell out 😅 so set your alarm! They are so perfect for sister matching with the pom pom clips ✨Head to my stories to see the headbands and matching clip up close, and for tomorrow I’ll share tips on how to style them on your littles!
