“A beautiful day starts with a beautiful mindset

“A beautiful day starts with a beautiful mindset” - unknown
Read that again.
No matter how crappy you think your day is going to be; wake up and set you mind to a more positive way of thinking.
I can’t tell you how many times this thought process has gotten me through rough days at work, with the kids or even when I’m just feeling incredibly overwhelmed.

Tell me how do you create a beautiful mindset?

AD: Balancing my mind and my immune system these days. As a busy mom it’s so important that I keep a healthy immune system because moms don’t get days off!

Bonus: supporting my gut health as well with products that contain @epicorimmune. It’s a POSTbiotic. Haven’t heard of that before? So, PRObiotics in your gut eat fibers (PREbiotics) in order to make beneficial metabolites. Well, POSTbiotics contain those metabolites and delivers them directly to your gut.

Currently using @countrylifevitamins Gut Connection ImmuneBalance™ powered by @epicorimmune. You can find @countrylifevitamins online at the link in my bio.

How are you balancing your mind and body these days?

Rainy day here today but this little corner of Ave

Rainy day here today but this little corner of Avery’s bedroom looks so cozy.

I’m so thankful to have passed on my love for reading to both my children and here are some of Avery’s favorite books on display. Beekle, Raz & Benz and Strictly no Elephants are Avery’s favs and we read them on repeat every night. I’ll link the books in my stories.

What books do your kids love?

I couldn’t go another day without having this sw

I couldn’t go another day without having this sweet photo of both my kids and myself on my feed.

Getting photos with the kids is hard and the majority of the time I’m doing it by myself.
I rely on my camera, tripod and timer to snap these shots and anyone who knows this method can relate to it taking many shots to get something resembling what your initial idea was.
Pretty happy to have finally caught this one and not ashamed to admit there was some bribery involved.

Share your tips with getting photos with your kids in the comments!

Easter is coming up and if your like me; you want

Easter is coming up and if your like me; you want to create something (most likely last minute) that your kids will love but doesn’t cost a fortune. Well I am here to say Easter basket’s don’t have to be expensive!

In fact: you can create a fun Easter basket for your kiddos that is inexpensive (and last minute if that’s your thing).
Things I grabbed for Avery’s basket this year:
1. Chalk (Target dollar spot)
2. Sunglasses
3. Water bottle
4. Bubble wands
5. Socks (because what kid doesn’t love socks)
6. Plastic eggs with candy and coins
7. Chocolate bunny
8. Spring outfit

For inspo on older kid’s Easter Basket ideas, make sure to check out my latest blog post (link in bio).

That’s it! Quick, easy and the total cost was minimal.
Bunny pictured from last year because my child does not need anymore stuffed animals.

What fun things do you do for Easter?

3 years ago, this little one came into this world

3 years ago, this little one came into this world in a whirlwind and has kept us guessing and on our toes ever since.
She loves reading, hiking, riding her bike, jumping on and off a thing, playing with her siblings and friends and Paw Patrol.
Happy birthday Avery; life is that much better and just a little crazier with you around and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Warmer springtime afternoons spent with this one i

Warmer springtime afternoons spent with this one is nothing but pure joy with a little bit of caffeine thrown in to help keep me fueled.

It is also the perfect time to pair your favorite @dunkin beverage with a snack. With options from Avocado Toast (my favorite), to a Grilled Cheese or Stuffed Croissant (Hayden’s favorite) or even a chocolate glazed donut (Avery’s favorite), there is something for everyone. And until April 27th, you can snag any size Cold Brew for just $3 with your Perks membership in Maine and Vermont. So, make sure to sign up today!!
So a big @dunkin cheers to warmer days, brighter flowers and spending more time outside with a coffee in one hand and a snack in the other.

What are you looking forward to most about springtime?

I’ve had people ask me how I stay so organized;

I’ve had people ask me how I stay so organized; how I manage kid’s schedules, work schedules, graduate school and blogging all at once.

Here’s the truth: I don’t.

I am the least organized person you will meet. I have calendars everywhere and a planner filled with post it reminders and lists. The fact that we make it places on time, I get my school work done and meet deadlines for myself and brands is a small miracle with a little last minute panic thrown in when I remember something I forgot.
So today I sat down. Updated my life and organized the next couple months so things feel a little bit calmer. Here’s to hoping this small bit of sanity continues.

What do you do to keep you and your family organized?
