This year I let my 3 year old help with our holiday cards. It was a fun activity for us to do together.

✨ I ordered cards from Canva. We didn’t have fancy pics to add to our cards this year so I just used a few of our favorites from throughout the year. Canva has a bunch of premade templates to choose from or you can create your own. I used a template. This was my first time ordering from Canva’s lab and I was pleasantly surprised. The quality was nice and they were a dollar a card (including envelopes, tax, and shipping!). 10/10 would recommend.

✨ Then I addressed all the cards. Updated any old addresses on my contact sheet.

✨ Finally, my toddler helped me stuff the cards in the envelopes, pick wax, and seal all of the cards closed.

Do you wax seal envelopes? You should! 😉

Having a decluttered home is an important part of homemaking because it creates a peaceful and organized environment that reduces stress and makes daily life more manageable for the whole family.

The DIFFERENCE I saw in independent play with my toddler when I switched from a toy box to a Montessori inspired toy display was crazy. He played with toys that hadn’t been touched in MONTHS. But we have too many toys for them to alllll be on display all of the time. This is where toy rotations have been amazing for us.

Having less stuff also means less for me to clean up constantly. The time saved can then be used for something more fun, like our next outdoor adventure!

⭐️ Have you tried any of these ideas? Let me know in the comments!

PS: Did you know that clutter has also been linked to higher cortisol levels (aka stress hormone) in women? 🤯

I am so deeply heartbroken to share that our sweet bambino Charlie passed away this morning.

He was such an amazing, loving kitty and will be missed greatly.

RIP Charlie 💔

You are doing amazing ❤️

I honestly don’t know if this post is more for me or you 😅

We have been so busy lately preparing to move across the US (leaving next week!), that it has been easy to forget to slow down and focus on the little things.

My son turned 5 months old this month and it blows me away how fast time has been flying by. It has reminded me that it is ok to spend that extra minute for contact naps. It’s ok to sing pat-a-cake one more time. These moments won’t be here forever. And while singing pat-a-cake 500x a day might be annoying, it means the world to the learning toddler.

So, I guess this post is to remind me. But if you find yourself also needing that gentle reminder every now and then, I invite you to save this post.

I feel this quote hard.

This is something I didn’t understand until I got pregnant with my first son. There are so many books and movies and articles and people who can tell you what you should and shouldn’t do in raising your child. The amount of input women receive before the child is even born is insane.

But here’s the thing, there is no one size fits all when it comes to parenting. Every child is unique and every parent-child relationship is unique. Because of this, every parent must decide for themselves what works best for them and their family.

If you are a parent and are feeling the weight of trying to do everything the “right” way, this is your reminder that you are doing amazing. ❤️

My resolution for 2024 is to practice mindfulness and start each day with a positive affirmation.

Mental health is something that is incredibly important to me. I truly believe that mental health has a profound impact on overall well-being. I want to be as healthy as possible so that I can be the best wife and mother I can be for my family.

To help with my resolution, I bought a box of 365 affirmations - one to read each day of the year - and I have been loving starting my days on a positive note.

⭐️ I’d love to know how you start your day on a positive note. Let me know in the comments!

⭐️ Be sure to follow my page

PS: I will post a link to these affirmation cards in my story and story highlights if you are interested
