Go pop this “on the beach” blend into your diffuser now! It smells SOO dreamy 😍 We’ve been diffusing this a lot lately and we’re in love.

We spent this past Saturday at the zoo and had such a great time! Mia LOVED seeing all the animals, including the real life version of Sophie the giraffe 🦒 And while the experience was a bit different than usual due to COVID-related restrictions, we still managed to have a ton of fun while staying socially distant and safe.
☀️
If I’m being honest, I’ve been extra cautious going out in public with Mia even though restrictions are being lifted and more places are opening up. BUT it’s also her first summer and we want to make sure that we get to enjoy it and create lots of memories with her because we won’t ever get this time back. SO, here are a few things that we’ve been doing to make sure we stay safe/healthy while making the most of this summer with her:

⋒ go to places that are likely to be busy such as the beach during the weekdays so there are less crowds

⋒ if going out on weekends, choose places that have pre-booked tickets and try to get early time slots

⋒ designate one parent to holding/touching baby, while the other is designated to opening doors/touching public surfaces if needed

⋒ make sure baby isn’t touching any surfaces (because little hands always end up in the mouth)

⋒ be aware of your surroundings and move away if others get too close

☀️

What other precautions have you guys been taking with your littles when going out this summer?

Spent the morning unwinding from the long weekend

Spent the morning unwinding from the long weekend and it’s finally sinking in that we are in AUGUST!! Holy crap you guys, where is the time going?! 😩

I’m so pumped for this month, but also a little intimated by some new adjustments we’ll be going through as a family (I go back to work next week and Shawn will be on parental leave for a few months). I also have a few major goals for this month that I am soo excited to get started on:

⋒ design the fall line for my Etsy shop

⋒ plan Mia’s 1st birthday party

⋒ surround myself with ALL the positive vibes

How do you feel about Mondays? Do you love them or

How do you feel about Mondays? Do you love them or hate them? I saw this question pop up on a post in my stories today and it got me thinking that I really have such a love/hate relationship with Mondays. On the one hand, I LOVEE the start of a new week and new possibilities. And *usually* Mondays are a clean slate because all our chores are done from the weekend.
🙌🏽
But then there are Mondays like today where we woke up and spent the morning trying to catch up on chores that did not get done this weekend followed by an afternoon of poopy blowouts, a teething baby, and a few meltdowns before nap time.
🙃
Sooo to sum up, not *quite* loving this particular Monday, BUT I’m still trying to find the little joys in each day.
💗
Today’s joys:
⋒ getting half an hour to sip tea and sit in quiet bliss with Shawn this morning while Mia napped
⋒ watching The Parent Trap aka my fave movie evaaa
⋒ the sweetest little smile from my girl when she saw me this morning
