My 9yo has an iPod. I was against this at first and gave incredibly strict guidelines for screen time, messaging privileges and apps allowed. And now I’ve gotten the sweetest text I will ever receive and I’m all “this was a great idea all along!” 😂😍😭💗 @thelegomovie #queenwhatevrawanabi #lifewithkids #lovemykiddos #lego

Mama’s running on fumes today so this Little Miss stepped up to be the best big sister in the universe. I love you, Ari Noelle!! 😭💗 #Sisters #BestFriends #Blessed

Self-care has many different faces and forms. It doesn’t always look like spa pampering and treat yo self. It looks like giving yourself a leg up when you can, in the little things, even if they seem insignificant, because you know how much it means to you. Sometimes it looks like cleaning out your French press so your morning routine can be a little bit easier. I used to be the one who couldn’t go to sleep with dirty dishes in my sink or clutter on my counter. That standard melted away two kids ago. Sometimes as you journey on this road called Parenthood you look up to find you are only a shell of yourself. You don’t recognize the person you have become, but you have empathy for her. You understand how she got here and you both grieve and rejoice for her in the same breath. That’s why self care in motherhood is so important. It gives you THAT MOMENT. To stop, breathe, remember... and continue on. Those nights of admiring my clean kitchen before I head off to bed are long behind me. Now, I settled for enjoying the fact that I had enough time in my make-shift nightly clean-up routine to prep for my morning coffee. And tomorrow when I wake up, regardless of what the rest of my kitchen looks like, I will feel prepared. Pampered. Almost spoiled. Why? Because having the time, energy and foresight to do something for myself in advance is a sign of a kind of life, a quality of life, I haven’t lived in for a long time. It’s a sign that we’re almost out of the woods - that survival is no longer all we have capacity for. It’s a little glimpse of what it might feel like to thrive again. Goodnight, Instagram! 💗 How do you take care of yourself? • • • • • #selfcare #motherhood #parenting #parenthood #mom #mama #mommy #lifewithkids #wellness #momsofinstagram #coffee #morningcoffee #frenchpress #embracingmotherhood #mommyblogger #joyformom

It’s that time of year again!! 🧶🧶 Whipping up some cozies for my girlies and loving every minute. 😊 Do you #knit or #crochet? Which do you prefer and why? I’m a knitting girl myself but have used some crochet basics to work my way through a few projects! 😉 #craft #knittersofinstagram #yarnlove #craftymama #momsofinstagram

Runny nose and cuddly clothes today while 3/4 of the kiddos are dealing with the first serious cold of the season and Baby Jake’s got the best of it along with cutting a few teeth for good measure. Haven’t slept more than 2 hours consecutively in almost 5 days, but loving the extra snuggles I’m getting with this little guy! They grow up too fast 😭😭😭 #teethingbaby #babiesofinstagram #mama #lifeswithkids #sickbabyboy #9monthsold
