‘Tis the season 🎄.

Did you take a lot of photos this year? 📷 Here’s a tip! The end of the year is my favorite time to go through and organize all of my photos. I delete the ones I don’t want, organize by month and event, then make sure everything I want to keep is backed up in multiple places. Then I can ring in the new year with more space for photos and memories I want to capture.

How many pictures did you take this year?

Any over/under guesses on how many ornaments Lee Lee will wreck this year? 🎄 It’s her third Christmas but definitely the FIRST time her eyes are open to the magic of it and I’m so here for it. Even if it means losing a few ornaments.

It’s nearly the LAST month of 2020 and I feel like I’m letting out a huge exhale and I’m allowing myself to soak in every bit of joy I can. Cause I deserve it dangit.

Part of that for me is capturing the little things that make this time of year special.

@LashawnWiltz and I hope this month’s prompts helps spark some creativity with the pictures you capture. And don’t worry, if you’ve never participated before, or if you’ve dropped off (I know I have!) Finish the year with a photo journal that captures the essence of December in your home.

How to participate:

1. Swipe ➡️ to see December prompts!
⠀
2. SHARE the post with your friends so they can play too! (It always helps me to have an accountability buddy).

3. SAVE THIS POST! So you can come back and see the prompts.
⠀
4. Post your photos with the hashtag #cherisheveryday365 and #cherisheveryday365_December
⠀
5. Comment on other photos in the hashtags to connect with the community.

Are you in?! ⛄️

This year I’ve shed a lot of the things people w

This year I’ve shed a lot of the things people would call an identity. The more I’ve gotten to know myself the more I’ve yearned to let go of labels. I don’t like lazy classifications others use as an excuse not to get to know people. I’m more than just my race, religion, job, gender or political ideology. And I’ve enjoyed getting to know myself once I’ve stripped away all of those things.

I don’t talk about my religion much. Not because I’m ashamed. I discuss it when it comes up, and we practice and discuss it at home with our kids, but it’s not necessarily a part that comes up often in this space for me. And partly because it’s not as big of a part of my identity as it once was.

Maybe I also subconsciously see it as something more private. But goodness gracious if it hasn’t gotten me through so much of the hard this year.

Last week I read a quote to my kids from our Church President that said “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives, and everything to do with the focus of our lives,” which I’ll admit is easier to explain to my children, than remind myself sometimes. It’s little nuggets and scripture and thoughts that resonate with my soul that often get me through another day.

Anyway, I’m thankful. Thankful for a place I can turn to find light when I feel surrounded by darkness. For my own little sanctuary of good words where I can refill some of that light when I’m running low. I don’t often share this part of me, but maybe I should. Because the world could use a little more light. #givethanks

When it comes to making dinner, are you Team Quick

When it comes to making dinner, are you Team Quick and Easy or Team Fun and Fancy 💁🏾‍♀️? I’d definitely put myself in the quick and easy camp.

@RAGU Pasta Sauces have been a staple in our pantry for years because they’re such a delicious time-saver to throw into everyday cooking (and IMO, pretty fun to cook with as well!).

Since Jayda loves working in the kitchen (I’m counting down the days until she’s making family dinners without me), #RAGÚ has been a delicious, easy way to introduce her to cooking. Last night we made Skillet Chicken Cacciatore with RAGÚ Old World Style Traditional Pasta Sauce, and topped it off with some spaghetti noodles (a Borget family favorite) 🍝. This sauce is so yummy, and gets its authentic flavor from the vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped onions, garlic and olive oil in every bite. Still, the best part of this recipe is that it took less than 20 minutes to make, and pleased every single member of my family!

What’s your go-to dinner that’s FAST and TASTY? If you’re looking for a new favorite to add to the rotation, check out my stories or head to RAGU.com for this full Skillet Chicken Cacciatore recipe!

We’ve got a lot of wild and crazy going on in the world, even packed into these tiny humans of mine. So, I’m all about that SIMPLE life where I can find it. I feel like that’s my main goal right now… Keep 👏🏾 things 👏🏾 simple 👏🏾 . And I love anything that can help me achieve that.

These new @RedBaronPizza Pizza Melts are a new favorite here #ad🍕. It’s like a pizza in sandwich form. After just 3 minutes in the microwave, I’ve got a crispy, melty and yummy dinner I’m glad is ready, and the kids are excited to eat.

They come in Pepperoni, Four Cheese and Supreme. My personal favorite is Pepperoni, and my kids like the Four Cheese.

What I love to do is plan these for a night when I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. They’re ready and eaten in no time, then it’s off to bed for the kids (so I can start my “me” time). And some quiet time for me, which if I’m lucky, includes another one of these along with a book or TV show.

What about you, what do you enjoy when you’re alone? #PizzaParentWin

"I am my ancestors' wildest dreams."

No matter what is happening in the world, or what rough patch I’m working through, this quote helps re-center my thoughts. It reminds me of the struggles those before me have made so that I could be free, go to college, be free to vote, and marry who I love. Their strength and their blood now flows though my veins.

It also encourages me look to the future. What message can I leave behind? What could I be teaching MY kids about loving, accepting, and advocating for others? ✨❤️️

What is your go-to quote? I’d love to read them if you’d be willing to share 👇🏾
