Every Friday night our family piles in this room f

Every Friday night our family piles in this room for family movie night 🍿. We take turns picking the movie and I’m always excited to see what each person will pick. Our tastes are all so different—but rule is you can’t argue with the picker. So everyone gets a fair shot to show us what they’ve got! (Ok, well Lee Lee doesn’t get a turn yet but I’m sure that’ll change soon).

When it’s my turn I usually pick an older movie from the 80s or 90s that they’ve never seen before and it’s been hilarious watching their reactions to movies like Free Willy or The Sandlot. And my husband is extremely proud of their Rocky knowledge.

If your kids need to get schooled on some of the classics, or if you just feel like taking a trip down memory lane you’ll want to check out my new movie checklist with 52 movies from the 90s that your kids must see!

It just went live on my blog and it’s totally free. Just click the link in my bio + this pic to download.

Tonight it’s Ty’s pick. You can head to my stories to see what he’s choosing (hint: it’s not from the 90s 😂).

What’s your favorite 90s movie? I hope it made the cut 😬.

Listen, I’m ok with screen time. But at our hous

Listen, I’m ok with screen time. But at our house it’s something we love to do TOGETHER. Movie nights are us. And Disney movies, even more so. I’m not ashamed to say my kids have seen ALL of them. Every single classic Disney Animated movie and Pixar movie they’ve seen it. Even Lee Lee. So we love to compare them.

Toy Story vs Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc vs the Incredibles, Inside Out vs Soul. If you lined up all of the Disney Pixar movies in a March Madness-style bracket and had them face off to see the BEST which would win? Believe it or not, my family loves discussing things like this--So much so that for the second year in a row we’re inviting you to join in on a Disney movie faceoff to help spark some joy right now. This time with Pixar movies.

How to play? Download or print off one of my free brackets on my blog (link in bio + tap this pic). Fill out your brackets with the movies you think should win in each paring or which one you think will win the stories poll. Tag me so I can share it! Friday we’ll start the polls in my stories and you can vote for your favorites. By Tuesday we’ll see who’s crowned the Best Pixar Movie.

Whoever’s bracket is the closet will win a year of Disney+ and some other goodies to make your family movie nights extra special.

If all of this is confusing just watch my Pixar Bracket highlight for a video explanation 😆.

What about you, which Disney Pixar movie do you think is the BEST?

My pickiest eater and my “I’ll eat anything”

My pickiest eater and my “I’ll eat anything” eater have something in common… These muffins! I am gonna let ya’ll in on a fun new find, these @VeggiesMadeGreat muffins are delicious and like the name suggests… They’re made with vegetables.

Our favorites are the Blueberry Oat and the Double Chocolate. Of course Lee Lee scarfs them down (is that really even shocking?), but Jayda loves them too and it’s normally a major negotiation to get her to eat her vegetables. Veggies are the first and main ingredient in them and they’re gluten free, soy free and peanut and tree nut free!

You’ll find them in the FREEZER section (this surprised me too) at your local grocery store. Just pop them in the microwave for 35 seconds and you’ve got a yummy snack you don’t need to feel guilty about.

Is it hard to get your kids to eat veggies or do they do it without a problem?

Snow Day ❄️

This is the third time it’s snowed in the 12 years we have lived here. So we had to document 😅.

Does it snow where you live? If so, does seeing all of the Texas snow pictures today make you think we are nuts? 😆

#ad🍅 When you’re taking a Sip N’ Stroll break and one of your kids finds you anyway… and of course, wants some. I cherish my midday breaks and I love to take them outside in the garden. With Campbell’s Well Yes!® Sipping Soups in one hand, and my watering can in another, it’s nice to fill my body with yummy nutrition, while filling my plants with some more h2o.

There isn’t any squash in my fall garden but the @campbellswellyes Butternut Squash Sweet Potato Sipping Soup is a nice warm fall treat to fill the belly! If you like veggie soups you’ll wanna give these a try. No bowl or spoon required and easy to eat on the go!

I hesitated posting this picture last July because

I hesitated posting this picture last July because I worried the colors and our country's flag would be triggering to some people. Then I realized how sad that thought was and where we’d arrived. If we let people who don’t represent us and what our country stands for direct the narrative we will all lose.

My heart hurts to see this type of chaos and violence in our country. But it can happen anywhere people fuel hate and spread it through lies and division. We know where this road leads, we’ve seen it in history and it’s not pretty.

As my friend @rebeccafm1003 so eloquently stated “If we embrace and spread hate, lies, and division, the people we influence will act out. That's why words matter, facts matter, and our news sources matter.”

I'm heartbroken. “This shouldn't have happened. We could have and should have learned from history.”

We are better than this. I don’t have all the answers but I know we can still find light in dark places. Let’s bring back the light.

I took this photo at the beginning of the year when I was starting a new journey of self-discovery and growth and thinking “heck yea, 2020, BRING IT!!” And 2020 was all “Slow your roll sista!”

This year is probably going to go down in history as the year that sucked. Perhaps it should.

But looking back and for the good, I am thankful that the slower pace did allow me to continue my journey in not only learning more about myself, but my husband and kids who I’ve had more time with. (Yes I’ve subjected my entire family to my personality and energy-typing antics). I’ve learned to set personal boundaries and be ok with a slower paced lifestyle.

So maybe the year wasn’t ALL bad.

“Every day may not be good, but there is good in every day.” I think that applies to years like this one too.

I wrote a blog post with 10 top moments from 2020 including a handful of my personal wins (🙌🏾 to my first attempt at gardening 👩🏾‍🌾) and what I’d count as societal wins (early Hamilton release anyone?!). Click my in bio + this pic to see my list.

What about you, what’s one good thing that happened in your life this year? I’d love to hear and celebrate with you.
