👯‍♀️ Fake it for the camera 👯‍♀️⁣
⁣
I used to drive myself crazy trying to get the perfect Insta-worthy image. ⁣
⁣
Y’all, I’m so over that.⁣
⁣
My life is crazy, loud and imperfectly perfect. ⁣
⁣
My house is a mess, comfortable and well loved.⁣
⁣
Don’t let social media determine what you should think or do. ⁣
⁣
You won’t find me cleaning up for a picture around here! Unless it’s a tap to clean of course.⁣
⁣
Seriously, I didn’t even take the time to get the bubble off this kids eye 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
Now Real question: Is he hugging her, or trying to out some new wrestling moves? You be the judge 😂 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣#momlife #crazykids #motherhoodunplugged #mymotto #chaoscoordinator #sarasotablogger #floridablogger

💋 SELF CARE 💋⁣
⁣
Something we all need to do but rarely get around to it. Who’s guilty of this 🙋🏻‍♀️. ⁣
⁣
I used to think self care consisted of a ton of expensive products, nail salon bills and so many hours spent after the kids are in bed. That is totally not the case!⁣
⁣
If we each took the time that we spent randomly scrolling on social media and put that time into ourselves, we would feel so much better. ⁣
⁣
My challenge for you is to take 30 minutes once your kiddos are asleep and spend that time on YOU! No one else. Set your alarm if you have to.⁣
⁣
Tonight, I’m going to make myself a drink, turn on a show and paint my nails without feeling guilty. Everything else can wait. ⁣
⁣
👉🏻What would you do with your 30 minutes? ⁣
⁣

🍕 National Pizza Day 🍕 ⁣
⁣
Y’all, it’s our favorite time of year! We love pizza in our house and have some homemade dough proofing for us to make personal pizzas tonight. ⁣
⁣
What a perfect time to play our @playosmo Pizza Co game! Alayna loves being able to run her own pizza shop, make the pizzas and hand each customer change. I love watching her play an educational game that she loves and master her math skills all at the same time. ⁣
⁣
How are you celebrating today? ⁣

💃🏻 SWEETHEART DANCE 💃🏻⁣
⁣
When your daughter makes you leave work early, dress up, Hunt high and low for a new dress and convinces you your going to a Daddy Daughter Dance, You do it. ⁣
⁣
Then you realize, it’s not a Daddy Daughter Dance. You were taken as an ATM machine and to act as her personal bodyguard as she dances with the boys. Oh how the times have changed. My poor husband 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
Who else isn’t ready to see their kids grow up just yet 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣

😔 I’ve been there mama 😔⁣
⁣
I’ve been in your shoes.⁣
I’ve cried for hours out of exhaustion.⁣
I’ve felt hopeless looking at the house I just cleaned but still looks dirty. ⁣
I’ve yelled at my kids.⁣
I’ve said things to my husband that no loving wife should ever say.⁣
I’ve locked myself in my room as my children try to break the door down just so I can have 5 seconds to breathe. ⁣
I’ve bawled my eyes out seeing other moms have more kids than me and somehow have their sh*t together. ⁣
⁣
Let me tell you something, we are all just surviving. Being a stay at home mom is the hardest and most soul-sucking job on earth. ⁣
⁣
From the second we wake up - to the second we go to bed, someone always needs us for something. We put ourselves on the back burner. We get into a rut of trying to get through every hour and just waiting for the moment our significant others come home to hopefully shower or eat something. We forget who we were before our children and just live in this cycle of “How much time until bed”....⁣
⁣
I’ve suffered depression, anxiety and self worth. I’ve put myself on the back burner. I can’t “get my sh*t together” overnight but I can start by slowly incorporating little changes. ⁣
⁣
Today, I put Brandtley in the bath and I got out of my pajamas. I didn’t have to get dressed and do my makeup but I NEEDED to! I need to get back to feeling some sense of myself. I NEED to build my self confidence back. I needed this. ⁣ ⁣

What’s one thing you can do that can make yourself feel better today? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣

🛁 BATHTIME 🛁 .

Who doesn’t love a good bubble bath?
.

When my anxiety is high or just when I’ve had a rough day, a bubble bath helps me feel so much better. Kids are the same way.
.
Brandtley was having a rough day & instead of letting it escalate, I ran him a nice hot bubble bath with his favorite @soapsox animal.
.
These sweet animals work just like a washcloth by holding soap inside. This gives Brandtley the independence he wants when bathing.
.

Would you believe me if I said this one bath turned his day around? It was the perfect way to restart our day.
.
How do you calm down from a bad day? .

📌 Sensory Processing Disorder - a condition in which the brain has trouble receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses. (Via. WebMD)
.
This is the definition for SPD. .

What does sensory processing disorder REALLY mean?
.
•being woken up by normal noises like a car driving by or a bird tweeting in the early morning
•Sticky Fingers are your worst nightmare (lots of wet wipes)
•Eating the same food for several days in a row. •Emotions are intensified so much
•Biting, pinching and hitting when showing even happy emotions.
.

But what it doesn’t tell you is:
.
•All the smiles we get
•How many tight hugs we’re given daily out of the blue •How he always apologizes for his sensory overload outbursts
•How smart he is
•The progress he makes everyday
•How much of a special boy he is
•How many times we hear “I love you so much!”
.
He surprises us everyday with just how much he is growing and improving.
.
One of our favorite products for him has been this sensory sack from @everydayeducate. He NEEDS that tight squeeze to feel safe and I can’t always be there to tightly snuggle him when he needs it.
.
This sensory sack is the closest thing to our tight cuddles and we love that he is gaining a bit of independence with it.
.
Don’t worry, there isn’t a shortage of cuddles in this house 😊❤️❤️

🤷🏻‍♀️ WHO AM I? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀
.⠀
Who’s the mom behind the Instagram? Yep, that’s me! ⠀
.⠀
I swear, by the look of it - my kids run the show. As a mom, it is so hard to remember to take photos of myself or ASK.⠀
.⠀
My husband, he has a bazillion photos of him and our kiddos..... me? Maybe a handful each year?⠀
.⠀
Then I got to thinking, what if something happens to me or my kids? Tomorrow is never promised and I want to cherish the memories I make with my kiddos and make sure they have physical evidence that I was there too - not just holding a camera. ⠀
.⠀
Make an effort to take photos of yourself. If you see another mom taking a photo - ask to take it for her so she can be in it too. ⠀
.⠀
No makeup, not dressed up, overweight/underweight, looking like a hot mess - who cares? Your kids won’t, I promise. ⠀
.⠀
⠀
Moms, do you feel me? ⠀

☀️ OCEAN BREEZE PUTS THE MIND AT EASE ☀️ ⠀
.⠀
Certainly missing this little place. The water slide, the drinks, the pools and the walks on the beach. ⠀
.⠀
Vacations never last long and even though its only been a week or so since we got back, I’m so ready for another one. ⠀
.⠀
We always vacation with our children. In the 10 years we’ve been together - my husband and I have only vacationed without our kids twice. Our honeymoon in @waltdisneyworld (5years ago) & a stay at the @biltmoreestate . (7 years ago) ⠀
.⠀
👉🏻Do you Vacation with your children?👈🏻⠀
