We have a rule that no personal devices are to be used during family time 📵. And if there’s a show or movie you want to watch you can turn it on one of the TVs. Usually before the show is over others have joined in to watch.

So far I’ve had a handle on online devices in our home but as these kids get older I know it won’t always be so simple. That’s why I’m glad there’s @MeetYourCircle. I can set Time Limits and Off Times for routine schedule online time for each of their devices (including the apps on the TV). When time is up, the internet stops working. Or if it’s movie night and no one is suppose to be on their phones, there’s a Pause the Internet button for that too, to make sure everyone is in on our family fun.

It’s important for me that we develop these habits early so we can be sure to #LookUp through the holidays and not get distracted by what’s going on in our pocket, and miss the beauty happening right in front of us. #CirclePartner #MeetCircle

Let me tell you a secret... I've got bedtime down to a science. I mean that quite literally. At 6:35pm an alert sounds letting the kids know it's time to get ready for bed. At the same time the bedtime lamps come on, overhead lights go off, and it's time for stories.

By 7:30pm the sound machines switch themselves on, and the lights are automatically out. Bedtime is bananas, so setting some things on auto is a sanity-saver for me. That one reason I love my @philipssonicare toothbrush. I can brush my teeth for what feels like two minutes but it's really just 30 seconds. But with my Sonicare brush I just push the button and the QuadPacer does the timing for me, and lets me know when the 2 minutes are up.

Head to my stories to get an up close look at how it works and to get some ideas for automating your bedtime routine.

And drop me a comment letting me know something that works well in your bedtime routine. AD #philipssonicare

See Lee Lee Jump! Bigger backyard, and a bigger family means a bigger trampoline. Our Small oval @SpringfreeTrampoline got a lot of love, but now that Lee Lee wants to get in on the fun with her brother and sister, we upgraded our trampoline AND gave it a makeover. Check out these colors! You can now customize your Springfree Trampoline in a variety of colors. From Pink to blue to rainbow and everything in between. We decided to go with royal blue and white for ours to match Jayda’s cheer team colors and our BYU Cougars. What color would you choose? I’m sharing some of Jayda’s tricks in my stories.

There’s still time to pick one out for the holidays. Customers can receive between $200-350 off their trampoline (depending on the size). Use promo code USHOLIDAY19 in store and online between now and the 16th. You’ll also receive a free Flexr Step ladder and up to $200 off delivery/installation! #SpringfreeTrampoline AD

I’ve learned at least three things while taking this weekend road trip with my daughter. 1. Your oldest child can seem so much younger when their younger siblings are out of the equation. It’s as if I suddenly see her as the young 9 year old she is.

2. It’s important to enjoy the journey, not just the end result. Driving 4 hours each day (and our hilarious conversations on the way) to a competition in hopes of a first place win can feel disappointing if you don’t win. But the experiences along the way... running through a big red door onto the stage as they announced her team, performing their best on a routine they’ve worked so hard at. Being proud of their score... Those are all important too.

3. It’s ok to be bummed if you don’t win. But recognize when you’ve tried your best and given your all and don’t let it bring you down. Our team moved from 3rd to 2nd place and vastly improved the 2nd day. 2nd place is not shabby at all! So proud of our team and so proud of my girl. Excited to do this all again next week in snowy Denver ⛄️. #cheermom #cheermomlife #cheerathletics #blackgirlscheer

Disney's #Frozen 2 has only been out for a week and we've already seen it three times! Have you seen it yet? If you read our review you know what we think. But let's talk about these looks! @JCPenney has so much adorable gear to either wear to the show or after when you're singing and dancing all of the songs that are sure to be stuck in your head at home, dressed up as your favorite @DisneyFrozen character.

Shop the Fearless by Nature Collection inspired by Disney Frozen 2's Anna and Elsa. Can you tell who I'm bounding as? #ad #AllAtJCP #Frozen2

Four months ago I decided I was ready to change some of my habits and find a new routine for myself. I started exercising every morning 💪🏾 and eating better throughout the day. One of my go-tos is an easy smoothie that gives me a nice morning boost and you can make it in a snap. Just one cup of almond milk 🥛 , a banana 🍌 , some plant-based protein powder 🥬and Maca powder. You wouldn’t think something so simple could taste so good but it does! I just toss it all in my new @BrandlessLife blender and I’ve got an easy healthy morning drink.

I’m always open to more smoothie ideas though 🥛.Do you have any suggestions for me? Please share in the comments! Just a handful of ingredients or less please 🙏🏾 . I’m not the best at recipe following 😅.

Oh and Brandless is having a Cyber Monday sale of 40% off! So now is a great time to scoop up all of those things you’ve been wanting to try! Visit brandless.com to shop!
