Easter Basket Inspiration

Easter basket for kids

While I haven’t really given much thought to which holiday I like next best after Christmas, I’d have to say it is probably Easter. I don’t know if its the addicting mini-eggs talking (seriously, what is in those things?!) or the fact that signs of spring are popping up all around, or maybe it’s because baskets are just a spring version of Christmas stockings, am I right?

Sleep Training & the Best Lovey for Babies

Does your babe have a lovey? We first started using one with our oldest daughter, Vienna, when we were sleep training. (If sleep training isn’t for you, please feel free to simply pass on this article #toeachtheirown). Miss V slept for 2-3 hours max at at time and while we were over the moon in love with all those new baby experiences, we were also Losing. Our. Minds.

One of the recommendations for sleep training was to have a “lovey” that always went to sleep with her and provided comfort. I think the proper reference is “transitional object”, but I’ll leave that to the sleep experts to discuss. 😉 Both of my girls have a lovey and they snuggle up and fall asleep easily with it every night.

Hustle, Mama

H U S T L E Truth: I love to do all the things. It's who I am. In my bio, you'll learn that this has been true from a very young age. Sometimes I wonder if it's normal to think nearly everything can be a made into a job I'd love to have. It's actually probably a very good thing (and comforting to my husband) to know that I cannot for the life of me sew-- ya'all know I'd be madly making children's clothes and bows if I could but I'll leave that to the professional Mamas out there. In writing this post I  looked up the term hustle, just to set things straight. Hustle the verb by definition means to move quickly or hurriedly, whereas urban dictionary defines hustle as working towards a goal (often in the pursuit of money). Being rushed vs. chasing your dreams. Got it. Do you ever feel the intense pressure lately to be more, have more, do more, GO more? Me too, friend. Social media can be a bitch I tell ya. If you're nodding in agreement, have you ever paused in one of these self-worth, comparison kind of moments and considered if that is really for you?  Because that's what matters most. And while things might look and seem spectacular from the outsider's perspective, if you are chasing someone else's passion you are going to run your ass off for something that won't pan out the same for you, because it is not yours. Being present and slowing down is good. SO good. For your soul, your heart, and your head. And in that, you'll find your own hustle. Your passion to work for. Your alignment. The things that make you WANT to Hustle, in the verb sense. I'm all for the hustle, on your terms, for your passions. My hustle is raising my girls-- to be thoughtful, kind, and amazing people-- while pursuing my personal passions, from my career, to blogging, to health and wellness. I enjoy all of these things. Lately, it seems its pretty easy to get caught up in keepin' up. Hustling for someone else's take on life. But their hustle doesn't have to be your hustle. YOU DO YOU.  Maybe you do a lot, maybe you do a little. Maybe you work from home. Maybe you work out of your home. Maybe you cook. Maybe you don't. Maybe you are creative. Maybe you are athletic. Maybe you love politics, or wellness, or style and beauty. Maybe you love all of these things. Maybe you do some of them. Find your passion. Make that your ow

Truth: I love to do all the things. It’s who I am. You can find me pursuing many side hustles daily. In my bio, you’ll learn that this has been true from a very young age. Sometimes I wonder if it’s normal to think nearly everything can be a made into a job I’d love to have. It’s probably a very good thing (and comforting to my husband) to know that I cannot for the life of me sew– ya’all know I’d be madly making children’s clothes and bows if I could.
