One of the best gifts we can give our children is to help them feel understood. Not just their actions on the surface, but the emotions and needs behind those actions…
These 3 questions help me slow down, gain more perspective, and respond in a way that is more helpful than hurtful for our relationship.
Almost a FULL YEAR ago, I shared the first post in what I hoped would be a series of posts about all the simple home projects I do on a daily and weekly basis to keep my home neat enough, clean enough, organized enough, and efficient enough for my family and myself to enjoy spending the bulk of our time at home each day.
It was such a fun post to write and I was excited to write more… but then I didn’t write anything more… until today!
Although I know there are many benefits from actual exercise, I also realize that fitting 30-60 minutes of cardio or strength training into each day is completely unrealistic for many people… including myself!
I promise, I won’t pressure you to exercise daily… instead, I’ll simply encourage you to take a few minutes to MOVE MORE! I’m sharing several ways I move more in today’s post!
As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, zucchini noodles are FANTASTIC with any of your favorite store bought or homemade marinara, meat, Alfredo, pesto, or cheese sauces.
However, if you’re looking for another very simple, very basic recipe that is slightly different than most traditional pasta recipes, I’m sharing that today!
If I had to choose one word to sum up my thoughts on children and screens, it would simply be: “Moderation.” Shocking… I know!
If you’re looking for more information to help you evaluate the use of screens in your home, I’m sharing 3 simple guidlines that might bring more balance back to your own children’s screen usage.
If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me what label maker I use, or what label maker I would recommend… I would have A LOT of nickels!
And while I completely understand why I’m asked these questions, I have to admit that I do NOT use a label maker. Today, I’m sharing the 2 main reasons why…
Thanks to the fact that all 4 of our children are sleeping through the night on a fairly regular basis, I’ve enjoyed significantly more sleep than I have over the past 6+ years — and WOW has it make a world of difference for me!
After joking with Dave about how my whole quality of life feels exponentially better now that I’m sleeping so much more… I decided to share more on the blog today!
After over 7 years living in our farmhouse, we are FINALLY going to tackle one of the rooms I wanted to renovate many years ago — the bathroom off our kitchen. However, we still aren’t 100% sure what we want to do with this space.
So… since you have given us really great renovation ideas in the past, I’m bringing our bathroom quandary to the blog as one last “Hail Mary” effort to see if any of you have a super fantastic idea we haven’t thought of yet!
After only a few months of making and eating zucchini noodles, I’m far from an expert; however, based on the number of questions I’ve gotten regarding our spiralizer, I figured it was time for a post.
If you’ve wanted to try zoodles, but are unsure… I hope today’s post helps to answer a few of your questions and give you the confidence you need to finally give them a try!
It’s officially Spring Break for both Dave and Nora — and, as you’ll read below, Spring Break is most definitley one of my Favorite Things.
Today, I’m sharing a handful of other favorites… and then I’m taking the rest of the week off to enjoy all the fun activities Dave and I have planned for the kids this week!
