It's that time of year again. The weather is finally cooler, rainy days beg for slow cooked comfort food that warms our stomachs and our souls.

November 14, 2017 ~ Emily ~ Leave a comment

There are a lot of days I'm not sure if I'm doing any of this parenting stuff right.

Why You Need to Make Time for Mom Friends

October 29, 2017 ~ Emily ~ Leave a comment

Ever since getting married, my husband and I have moved a lot. Seven times in nine years to be exact. When you're moving that often (always for jobs, no, not military) it becomes hard to mentally wrap your head around putting down roots. Pre-kids I had made a couple friends who were co-workers, but after … Continue reading Why You Need to Make Time for Mom Friends

You guys, I've been working super hard on a project that I've been putting off for a long time. Putting it off because I thought there was no way I was good enough, or expert enough, or anything enough. ⁣ .⁣ But you know what? All that means is that I was spending too much time looking at what everyone else was doing instead of trying to live my own dream.⁣ .⁣ I've spent the last 14 years of my adult life cooking, modifying recipes (for one, for two and now for a toddler) and planning meals week after week, month after month. ⁣ .⁣ I've shared my strategy with friends IRL. I've shared with moms in my circle. ⁣ .⁣ And then it dawned on me, Em, you could be sharing this with EVERYONE. Oh, and your husband kind of edits video for a living....so....⁣ .⁣ WHAT THE HECK WHAT WAS I WAITING FOR??.⁣ .⁣ My first ever video eCourse is in the works and it is going to be FREE- all you have to do to get Meal Planning 101 straight to your inbox is click the link in my bio to sign up. You'll get a free printable to use during the course.⁣ .⁣ What do you have to lose? Oh besides time, and money by eating out more often and always making extra trips to the grocery store- Because you didn't have a PLAN.⁣ .⁣ We all gotta eat. We all gotta feed our families. You can either be stressed out at 5pm, or you can just make dinner because you planned ahead.⁣ .⁣ Who's with me? {LINK IN BIO} Enrollment starts today and ends February 28.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #momsofinstagram #modernmotherhood #mealplanning #wahm #motherhoodunplugged #organizedlife #connectingmoms #momsofig #honestmotherhood #mealprep #lifestyleblogger #organizedlife #homeorganization #momlifeisthebestlife #shopsmall #homedecor #homecommandcenter #simplify #simplifiedlife #simplifedhome #mylifeasamom #homesweethome #homedesign #documentlife #interior #homestyling #simplemoments #homeinspo #homedecorating #interiorandhome

In all the hustle of weekend chores and getting ready for another Monday, don't forget to rest.⁣ .⁣ Allow yourself to breath and enjoy the simplicity that Sunday brings. I know it's hard. I'm not very good at it either.⁣ .⁣ But I do know this: when I'm taking care of myself, I'm a better mom, a better partner, and a better human. #selfcare⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #inspiration #bewhoyouare #selfcaresunday #youareenough #weareallmomenough #loveyourselffirst #wahm #sahm #momlife #momsofinstagram #motherhoodunplugged #mommyblogger #mommyhood #momlifeisthebestlife #ladyboss #mompreneur #momblogger #clickinmoms #instamom #inspiredmotherhood #yearofthewoman #quotes #wisdom #youarenotalone #motherhoodthroughinstagram #workathomemom #mamablogger #womenempoweringwomen #mommylife
Remember before you had kids and the word 'weekend' meant something? You could spend a Saturday for real chillin in front of Netflix binge watching The West Wing all day??? Yeah, those were the days.⁣ Repeat after me, I love my children.⁣ .⁣ Here's to the freakin weekend, and I'll drink to that, kids or no kids! Cheers, mamas.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #weekendadventures #brunchallday #lazyweekends #weekendswithkids #sahmlife #toddlermom #funnymoms #parentingmemes #momblogger #mommyblogger #socialmediamom #sahm #momboss #mommylife #momlife #momsofinstagram #parenthood #toddlerfun #parenting #toddlerlife #boymom #girlmom #momlifeisthebestlife #wahm #letthembelittle #preschool #toddleractivities #momsofig #mamablogger #parents
