Is this not the cutest chaise lounge you've ever seen?! #ithinkitis! Even cuter is my daughter #totallyposing because she loves this thing. Some days I don't know if I'm in competition with myself to see where I can spend more #tjmaxx or #target. #tjmaxx won this time. ▪▪ ▪ ▪ Just so you know. She also kicked me off #verypolitely though. ▪▪ ▪ ▪ Decorating is so #exciting and #frustrating. I love seeing the transformation but #imfrugal and have a #lovehate relationship with money. #love to keep it #Hate to give it away but I couldn't pass this one up #imasucker.

Soaking up as much of the sunshine as we could today. The #sun did it's job because after dinner both of my kids are #knockedout... I'm slightly concerned that they may wake up at #4AM however #prayforme.

I could watch this over and over #love #overandover #spiderman

I think my #husband got jealous 😂. #jk. The funny thing is my son is over there stealing half his food. 😂😂😂 my son already ate breakfast an hour ago. #growingboy

Behind this beautifully #staged photo of my #breakfast is a house in complete disarray 😅. Hopefully on this slightly unscheduled day off I can find the rest of my counters and possibly the bottom of the laundry basket. Oh and I write this as I sit in a #toddler chair (picture in stories 😄). ▪ ▪ #happywednesday #eggs #baconwrappedasparagus #bellpeppers #spinach #rubberduck #orfish #chocolate #caramel #sugarfree #coffee #delicious

I'm in love with #stuffedtomatoes right now 😋. This one is stuffed with 1/4 #avocado and #gruyere cheese finished with a pinch of #pinkhimalayansalt and #heavycream. Mildly sweet and super creamy it was like a #dessert to me. . . side note: I almost dropped the #castiron serving dish when I grabbed it with my hands #ouch. I did drop an entire #ramekin of dressing on the floor as I tried to toss it into the trash #fail. The dogs were pretty excited about that #ohno!

This was actually a super cute moment but I missed the part where they were talking and holding hands. By the time I got the camera out it looked more like a #standoff. . . . #siblings #ypewi #yvelo #twista #balancebikes #rideon #blocks #everywhere

My brother sent this little gem to me. This picture could not more accurately describe how my children felt about my #beautyrest. I mean they were kind enough to wake up at #4AM (#ImSoExhausted). Currently I am #fueledbycoffee. #IPrayTheyGoToBedOnTimeTonight #PleaseDontNapForever #HappyMonday

Does anyone else have engineered hardwood floors? These are the #loudest floors ever...in my house. Usually every step sounds like #AndreTheGiant is stomping through the halls. Ever since I've started wearing these #moccs from @proudfootmoccs I've been able to sneak through my house like a #ninja while the children sleep (#itsamiracle).

Baked tomato stuffed with cabbage, onions, extra sharp white cheddar and gruyere with chicken thighs #idontbelieveindrymeat all baked in the my adorable #castiron serving dish (?)▪ ▪ I used to cook and create things all the time but since having kids I've usually just thrown dinner together trying to make sure I covered all the necessary #macros which has left me totally disappointed with myself #ImBetterThanThat. Not that this is a crazy concept or some kind of magical meal or anything but I'd forgotten for a long time who I was and what I liked to do #biggirllikestoeat. ▪ ▪ I've recently tried to also remember that I am a lot of things and there are things that I love (other than my family #theyrenumber1): #shoes, #cups (#weirdRight) and even #cooking. ▪ ▪ Every day I work closer to my #goals. Some are #intheclouds and some are totally attainable but no one is going to give me what I want (#especiallyifIDontTellThem). I do this not only for myself but also #MYBABIES. I want my kids to live their dreams because it is what they want #notwhatIWant (but I sure do hope those are the one in the same)▪ ▪ Now off to eat #itsgettingcold #thispostwaslong #whoops #IWantMyKidsToDreamBig #NearlyImpossiblyBig #ReachForTheStars #BreakAllTheCeilings #IfYouveReadThisFar #YouDeserveAGoldStar #🌟

I cannot believe how comfortable these hand made gems are... slippers really never were my thing but moccs made just for all the feet in the house?! Even though the search for adult size moccs started for my husband it really ended up being for me 😶. I could not be happier to rock these and buy a pair for every member of my household (#notpictured #thehusband #theunboxing #theouttakes #theexcitement) . . . #madeinmichigan #shopsmall #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinesses #handmade #love

I'm sure this is just the beginning of the #sibling struggles 😂 #annoyinglittlebrother #lazysunday
