How am I doing? Well, it’s complicated. With a pandemic going on right now, life just feels a little... Ok, a lot, more stressful. Even I, Queen of Optimism, am finding it really hard to feel positive as much as I normally do. But I’m learning though I can’t always control how I FEEL, I can control how I RESPOND. So I’m working with that.

The last two weeks have been a wild ride, for all of us. I’ve never spent so much time in my own home with three little people clinging to me. I mean seriously, you’d think they’d be tired of me by now. But they won’t even go upstairs without me.

It’s hard to see it at this moment, but I know 5 or 10 years from now we'll look back on this period and have so much to say about what it was like, what we did. I KNOW we are going to make it through this. It’s time for me to decide what I want those memories to be filled with.

The first few months of Cherish Everyday 365 have been fun, but this next month has the potential to be very powerful. What will April’s memories look like for you?

I want my kids to remember not only the extra long spring break, where they had cheer practice on the computer, and saw their classmates via FaceTime. I want them to remember our neighborhood walks where we chatted with friends across the street while hunting for teddy bears and rainbows in windows.

I want photos of our life together during this unique time.

SO! Starting next Wednesday, April 1st, join @LashawnWiltz and I on Instagram for a photo challenge to spark your creativity and capture your life.

We can’t wait to see all of your photos!!

Well today sucked. This photo was snapped after I

Well today sucked. This photo was snapped after I shut myself in my bedroom and told my kids they could do whatever they wanted if they left me alone. 45 minutes later I heard my oldest tell her brother “I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to get mom!” Lee Lee came bounding in behind her, belly flopped on top of me and I snapped this photo.

Today was a crapshoot. And honestly I feel like I needed that slap in the face after my post yesterday. Re-reading it I’m vomiting a little in my mouth. I decided I couldn’t NOT post today and share a bad day too because if I only share the good well... Thats not really fair. Or realistic.
If you follow my stories you saw the disaster of my morning. It ended better than it started but it was quite the polar opposite of yesterday.

Day to day if you ask me how I’m doing it could be the total opposite. So tell me, how are YOU today? Was it better or worse than yesterday? 🤔

Is it just me or has the last 48 hours been a whir

Is it just me or has the last 48 hours been a whirlwind? Part of me wants to hide away and avoid social media and another part of me wants to document everything so that I can look back a year or two from now and remember exactly what we made it through.

Yesterday morning I was urging parents on our cheer team to pull out of a competition in Galveston this weekend. I didn’t *want* to, but it felt like the safe and responsible thing to do. The casual responses that it would be “overreacting” and that it was all “blown out of proportion” made me doubt myself, and for a moment, I hesitated, wondering if maybe I was going a little crazy.

Thankfully, a few hours later the competition, (and other cheer competitions around the country) were canceled (“postponed”). A few hours later Disney announced it would be closing down the remainder of their theme parks as well as their Disney Cruise Line. I don’t *think* that many people see these precautions as overreactions now. But just in case, I wanted to share some of what I’ve found from research and fact-checking. I put it all in a blog post. Just click the link in my bio and this photo.

One thing to know? Staying away from others today, can make a HUGE difference tomorrow, next week, next month. My kids are out for spring break now, but I’m guessing they won’t be going back in a week. Things are unnerving and scary. I’m with you. But my husband (usually a pessimist) keeps reminding me of how thankful he is that we are together, and for this extra time we will have together focusing on what really matters. I’m thankful for him.

Our spring break is going to be pretty boring. We were planning to screen new movies and hit up the beach. Instead we will be watching movies at home and working in the yard.

I’m SO thankful for the hardworking people we have in hospitals. Our doctors, nurses and other medical staff. And for the grocery workers, who are tirelessly restocking shelves (please don’t clear out the shelves people. Prepare, don’t panic. No one needs 10 bottles of hand sanitizer for themselves). I’m thankful for you all. And I believe making it through will somehow bring us all closer together ❤️. How are YOU? Truly.

Day 69 | 366 EARTH

How early did you notice your child’s unique personality?

Lee Lee is my wild and free nature baby. I think it’s fitting considering finding out she was our family’s +1 made us take the leap to a bigger home with a bigger yard. She grabs her shoes and mine and screams “GO!” When she’s ready to head out back. Usually I’m happy to oblige.

I noticed with my other two children, their personalities as toddlers pretty much stuck with them. Jayda is my social butterfly. Ty is more reserved, but extremely inquisitive. And Lee Lee it seems may have a life full of adventure and demanding she get things her way. To that I say, pray for me.

There are few things I despise more than actually

There are few things I despise more than actually going into a grocery store with my kids. But sometimes you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do, and I’m glad there’s @FetchRewards for those days.

Hiding snacks from Lee Lee so she doesn’t open them before checkout? 👎🏾 Not fun. Scanning the receipt and getting points for said snacks once we’ve made it out alive? 👍🏾 Fun!

It’s way easier than clipping coupons, and Fetch Points turn into gift cards for movie tickets, retail stores, restaurants, places I love to shop online and more!

Speaking of which I just discovered you can connect the app to your email and get points for your grocery pickup orders too. 🙌🏾 HALLELUJAH!

Whether you like to go into the store, or wait in your car for it to be delivered, this is a great app to get some kickback on things you’re already buying. Use my code: BORGET for 3,000 points (that’s a lot!) after signing up and scanning your first receipt. #FetchRewards #Partner

Double tap if you want a hug like this. I love my people. This will never not be the highlight of my day. And when Lee Lee is at school the run and give me hugs just as big 😍

Happy Hump Day ❤️ Tag or share with someone you want to give a hug.

Cheer mom life got me not knowing what day it is o

Cheer mom life got me not knowing what day it is or what in the world is going on. Can we please pretend March is starting today?

Listen, let me be the example that if you fall off the wagon, it’s ok to just hop back on when you can.

@LaShawnWiltz had these up a week ago but I wanted a spot to bookmark them in my feed as well so we can easily pinpoint the March prompts for #cherisheveryday365 EVEN THOUGH it’s already March 4th.

If you are just joining us,

HELLO! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 I’m Jennifer and I co run this 365 with my friend @LaShawnWiltz who is 1000Xs more organized as I am.

We started this challenge as a way of taking the time to document and cherish all of the little everyday moments that we don’t take notice of.

Think of this challenge as a visual journaling, documenting your days with photos and/or videos and words right here on the gram.

Rules:

1. Save this post! ( save in your collections so you can refer back to the prompts easily!)
📝

2. Check this list every day and take a photo using the prompt as your inspiration!

3. Share your photo on Instagram using the hashtag #cherisheveryday365 and/or #cherisheveryday365_march
