It’s Wednesday and we are fine ...it’s all good, it’s been a bit of a crazy week, but we still got this ...I think . . . We like to slow things down on the weekends when we can because most mornings are chaotic over here during the week ... and because I don’t really function early in the morning (please send more coffee) I like to prep as much as I can the night before, getting breakfast ready, packing lunches and picking out clothes. . . So overnight oats are a huge hit over here and we were so excited to try out @yumiorganics overnight oats this year and add them to our morning routine. The Dark Choco is a favourite with our little ones! . . . Do you prep for your mornings the night before too? Please share any tips for making mornings easier! I’m asking for a friend 🤦‍♀️ . . . #motherhoodunplugged #yumiorganics #overnightoats

Motherhood set my soul on fire ... it never held me back from my dreams, it’s what reminded me that I had them 🙌🏻 . . . If there something that sets your soul on fire, something you’ve been wanting to do, tie up that top knot mama and just do it! Let your kids see you doing your exercises, let your kids see you painting, or writing or creating beautiful things because they want to get to know you too. . . Sometimes I think our dreams become bigger in our heads than they are in reality and we build them up so much that we feel like they are unattainable. But all it takes is one step to get started, one step to know that it is possible, one step to start. Yes we might wobble a bit when we first start and fall a few times, but that’s ok, in fact that’s amazing, because it gives us a chance to get back up and try again. Baby steps mamas, take the baby steps today 💕 . . . #motherhoodunplugged #mondaymotivation

Easy like a Sunday morning... . . Fresh snow, slow mornings and lots of snuggles with this three. We did nothing yesterday, literally nothing... our only big plans were playing in the snow and it was lovely! . . Boy do these babies know how to chill with they want to ... living the dream over here! . . . These “Living the Dream” sweatshirts from @minimioche have been a favourite of ours for years! We’ve bought them as gifts and the kids have grown out of their first ones now so we got them in navy this time and they are adorable. Also ... this little pink dress 💗 . . . #liveinminimioche

I will forever love these slow days ... . . We just started the process of registering this little man for kindergarten next year and to be completely honest, it doesn’t feel real yet. He’s still so little to me and I can’t believe he is starting school in the fall. . I truly want to slow things down these days and soak up every smile, every giggle, every naptime snuggle because we are in a stage right now where life is speeding up a lot and all I want is to slow it down. . . . Motherhood is funny like that, sometimes the days move slow and all you want is for bedtime to be here so you can have a break, and sometimes the days, weeks or months go way too fast and all you want is to stop time and soak it all in. . . . Any other mamas preparing to send a little one to school next year or preschool or daycare? . . #threenager #motherhoodunplugged #letthembelittle

Actually, I can ... . . Actually, I can unload the dishwasher and get three kids ready in the morning . . Actually, I can leave the house with three kids and make it on time to school drop off . . Actually, I can be their mom and dream big . . Actually, I can (fill in the blanks mamas) . . . Motherhood has taught me that I am more capable and stronger than I ever imagined. Yes, there are times when it’s tough ...like laying on the kitchen floor crying over spilled milk kinda tough (never understood that statement until I became a mom 🤦‍♀️) but it’s also peel yourself up, get up and keep going kinda tough too. Sometimes it’s the little victories that keep me motivated throughout the day, and sometimes it’s big dreams for the future that I want to share with my kids ... whatever it is mama ... . . You can! . . Tag someone who needs to hear this today 💕 . . . Ps I’m in love with these new jeans and putting them on gave me the little boost of confidence I needed 💙 @thenumerobrand xoxo

Say cheese mom.... so this little space is one of the projects we’ve been working on over here this week ... . . I started the process of creating a designated playroom for our kids this week, right off of the kitchen, and so far it’s amazing! . . The story behind this is kinda long... so when I’m done the whole room I will reveal and write all about it, but for now it’s basically this : . . It’s freezing here in January and February and I want a space for the kids to play when we have to be indoors more. There’s even more to share about my reason for creating this space and how it happened, but I’ll share that soon. . . Ps I’m in love with these shirts from @minimioche they are adorable and so comfy for the kids to play in! . . Do you have a designated play space in the house ...did you give up or change another space to make it? (let me know in a series of emojis... here are mine : 🍽 ...🤹‍♀️= 🎨🪕🧸💓 . . . #liveinminimioche #kidsfashion #kidsplayroom
