Most people: “It’s too hot and buggy outside to go for a walk.”

Us: “We will be sure to grab our bug net, bug spray and lots of water.”

If there’s a will, there’s a way.

Let’s talk about bug sprays! 🦟

*Please note that these options are my personal opinion.

Options depend on age and skin sensitivities of the person.
🦟Babies you want to steer clear of applying chemicals to their skin especially DEET.
🦟Littles I like Badger products because they are essential oil based.
🦟Buzz patches are also a great spray free alternative.
🦟Older kiddos and adults I really enjoy Natrapel.

Here are my recommendations see comments!

Backyard camping:expect things to not go as planned and be ok with it🏕️

We decided instead of embarking on a grand adventure we’d take baby steps with the boys so backyard tent camping it was.

We set up the tent early to let the boys play and get comfortable. To say they liked it would be an understatement, especially with air mattresses that later popped. Again, this was a great trial run.

We also built a fire, roasted s’mores and ate hot dogs. When it comes to fire we encouraged Jack participate. We will teach him to respect and understand fire, not elicit fear. Fire building is an essential survival and life skill even for a toddler.

Our 1st camp out as a family of 4 +Frankie was a positive experience. I encourage you to try it! If you have a yard or even a living room camping is possible. Make it fun, get creative and include your children in the process.

🌱Did you go camping as a child?
🌱What memories do you have?

Quality time is my love language.

Nothing compares to creating core memories, partaking in new adventures and living in the moment.

Last night we took the boat out and went fishing. We caught a bunch of panfish, perch and even a large mouth!

My boys live in sunshirts. Long sleeves, short sleeves, 1/4 zips, shorts etc you name it. Slathering sunscreen on wild boys isn’t the easiest thing so if I can limit just how much I have to put on-sign me up!

We’ve found quite a few good brands that have never failed us. I’ll link them below if you’re interested in some quality sun gear!☀️

These are the BEST WATER BALLS!

I hate water balloons because of the mess and the fact that they are bad for the environment so I was on the hunt for reusable ones (I’ve tried basic sponges, foam balls, socks - yoh name it and wasn’t impressed). Then I seen these and figured I’d give them a try. They are awesome!!!

Literally drop them in water and once they fill up they close using magnets🤯

And they are on lightning sale!!!

“Can we have him?”

We spotted a very loud and scared baby racoon behind the house tonight. Jack’s question made for a great teachable moment in the importance of leaving baby animals alone and letting momma come back.

Gosh that little baby sure was cute!

We are loving our new Nikon Z5 camera and lens😍

If I can go without any kind of chemicals - sign me up!

Frownies and Gua sha have really been amazing for me. Frownies are basically like paper mache for your face. You put them on damp and they harden to essentially retrain your muscles to tighten and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Be consistent or you’re wasting your time!

Gua sha has been a blessing for facial muscle relaxation and depuffing. I always thought I just had bigger cheeks😅 turns out it was fluid build up! By using the Gua sha tool I have been able to drain my lymphatic system and depuff my under eyes and cheeks. It’s basically a facial massage that I look forward to doing.

Oh and Primally pure deodorant: you need it! I’ve tried many brands and landed on this one. It’s aluminum free, 100% transparent on ingredients, making it a truly clean product!

Do you use either of these?
Want any links? Let me know!

I set my soul free.

A spark deep within myself told me to make a change.

So I began feeding it with purpose.

Slowly blowing air into the flames as I began to figure out who I was.

Adding bigger pieces to the fire as I rediscovered my passions.

And before I knew it the fire within me was roaring.

I’m rediscovering myself while relearning who I’ve always been.

Burn baby burn.

Rain or shine we go outside!

“Proper planning prevents poor performance” as Vivo the kinkajou states. I’ve learned that good quality outdoor clothing is something I will not skimp on. You get what you pay for!

I discovered full body mud suits in college. They are a staple in Scandinavian countries and for good reason! Once I had my own babes I knew I needed to get them each a pair. BEST DECISION EVER.

I’m not a mom who cares about her kids getting dirty, but if they can keep their clothes underneath clean and dry all the better. Cold wet clothes put a damper on our adventures and with these suits they are a thing of the past.

Mason tried his pair on for the first time and my goodness it was the cutest thing. Now both boys are set for any outdoor adventures!

Here’s to ending the weekend with gratitude and rest & starting Monday off with a positive mindset and grace.

🤣anyone else relate? We use coat hangers in our bedroom not a chair or an open dresser drawer tends to work nicely as well.

Where’s your dirty/too clean laundry end up?

13/04/2023

I’ll take a day full of sunshine, water and dirt over pretty much anything.

I was just browsing Amazon today to get more sunshirts for the boys and the brand Ruggedbutts is having a big sale!

I also really like UV SKINZ because they offer a onesie option for the littles.

I definitely still put sunscreen on my babes but thankfully with the help of these shirts we have not had either kiddos get a sunburnt.

How about you?

While scrolling through my feed today I found this graphic that resonated with me.

Everyday we have the option to reset, readjust, restart and refocus. Whether it’s our mindset, attitude, a workout plan, eating healthier, household duties, reaching out to an old friend or restarting that book we’ve had sitting around for the 45th time.

Whatever it is to do it quietly, do it publicly- just do it✌🏻

If you have a baby carrier, I highly suggest getting a carrier cover!

I discovered this quite a few months ago and love it! Mason stays nice and toasty in it when we venture outside.

Picasso Bristle Blocks!
These are awesome open-ended toys that have endless ways to play with. Jack and Mason (with supervision) loves them.

Love this tablecloth! Fits around a standard picnic table. Super easy to clean and wash.

What are some things you are always on the hunt for? 🤔

16/03/2023

Game changer! I love this little thing especially early one in my breastfeeding journey.

Whatever side babe is not nursing on squeeze this and place on your breast to gently collect milk. You can place the top on and put in the fridge or bag it and place it in the freezer.

16/03/2023

My favorite nursing bra!

Kindred Bravely sublime lace back. Literally own at least 6. Give you support, shape and looks cute. I wear these pre and postnatal.

Every kid needs a good water bottle. Both Jack and Mason have this one and it’s been great. It’s survived many drops, rough housing and environmental elements.
