(AD) Double tap if you’re mom to some curious & wild kids. Between the clinging, jumping, mess making, whining, and exploring littles do, being a mom can be tiring 😅 So I started using our @nutribullet Baby Food Blender to make lactation energy bites to fuel my day. We still use it for smoothies, soups & popsicles- I like how simple the blender is to use and that it’s safe around little hands since my 3-YO always wants to try it - but this new recipe from their site is a game changer. Bonus: The @nutribullet Baby Food Blender is small enough you can take it on trips! #nutribulletbaby

What are your holiday traditions? Aside from gathering as a family and gifting PJs on Christmas Eve, my family always celebrates with an advent calendar. And this year, I made my own! My mom and I made this beautiful tree using her @officialcricut and a design download from @jennifer.maker😍 Now to decide what to put in each slot... because since there are different sizes I can fit mini race cars and scavenger hunt ideas galore instead of just chocolate.

I don’t know about you but I’m pretty excited

I don’t know about you but I’m pretty excited about all things holiday right now... but needed to pump the breaks a bit because we’re hosting a day of family (also known as Thanksgiving) at our house so food has been on my mind. I’m thinking I should make these pumpkin maple cupcakes with whipped maple bacon topping again, what do you think? 😍
Good news! You can make them too! The recipe ebook I worked on with so many other creators is now on sale! Grab your own copy to get over 100 pumpkin recipes for less than $15 😱

It’s amazing how much we learn each day as parents. I’m not the same parent I was with my first baby, or even my second... and after 3 births I’m still learning new things every day. Still navigating Parenthood life with each kid and phase. One thing I learned while pregnant with my third was mother roasting- the warming of a mother in postpartum to promote healing. I’m glad I studied it! What’s one thing you recently learned?

2020 has highlighted how quickly something could happen at any moment. #ad From the anniversary of my last living grandparent’s death to the constant reminders on the news and a simple business question in a group on Facebook - everything has been telling me that I need to start planning for the after. I used to think that cremation, funeral, and burial were things you plan out once you reach 60 or so. It isn’t. If you’re a parent, the time to research and plan for the future is now, no matter your age. I wasn’t sure where to start at first, but @skylawn_funeral_cemetery offers a planning guide that helps to answer all your questions! Skylawn is a beautiful place for all funeral, memorial and cremation needs (swipe to see the beautiful view, it’s surrounded by wildlife reserve!). Click on this picture in my bio to learn more.
