|Sponsored| I’m not exactly sure how it happened, but I somehow managed to go 10 years of parenting without having ever built a LEGO set. Nearly 400 pieces and 98 steps had me feeling some type of way when I opened the box but by the end of the building process we could smile at what we had done together.

If you’re a Wonder Woman fan counting down for the new movie, you’ll be excited to hear @Walmart has new toys including these LEGOs and action dolls. And if you’re a LEGO novice like we are, you shouldn’t have too much trouble with this one, cause if we can do it, anyone can!

Have you ever built a LEGO set?

Lee Lee lived her best life this summer and I’m

Our first apartment had a lot of cockroaches and no dishwasher. I promised I’d never complain about doing the dishes again once we lived in a place with an automatic dishwasher. I didn’t exactly keep that promise... 16 years later my husband still does the dishes more than I do. But I’m happy to help supply the detergent 🙃.

I buy #Cascade Platinum + Oxi. It's made with ingredients that are designed to break down starch and protein from stuck-on food, giving our dishes a deep, hygienic clean. Now when my husband does the dishes he doesn't need to pre-rinse (one less step, and water savings!) and our dishes come out really, really clean. Aren’t I such a great wife 😆?

Who does the dishes in your house?

Head to the link in my bio so that whoever it is can save $1.50 off #Cascade Platinum + Oxi! #CascadePartner

I looked up and noticed this would be my 2000th IG

I looked up and noticed this would be my 2000th IG post, so I yelled for my family to run over and snap this photo with me. I also thought this would be a good time to reintroduce myself since there are some new faces around here.

I’m Jennifer Borget (rhymes with the fancy way you say “Target”)! This is my fun family. I love the number 7 so here are 7 random facts about me:

1. I graduated from BYU with a communications degree in broadcast journalism. I worked as a news reporter/anchor for about a decade before deciding to trade in my microphone for babies and blogging. I’m still happy with that decision.

2. Said blog (Cherish365.com) means cherish every day. To me that means self-love, loving our culture, loving others and their differences, and enjoying the limited time we have here to make the most of it. We are all unique and have a special reason for being here right now. Everyone has something to offer. There’s no point in comparing ourselves to others because we are each one of a kind. I hope to help others find their reason for cherishing every day.

3. I got married 2 weeks before my 19th birthday.

4. Disney is my boo. I could go on, but that deserves a whole separate post.

5. I LOVE learning. I can’t read enough books. I believe you’re never too old to learn something new. This year I learned how to start a garden and grow a few things. I want to try potatoes next because…

6. French fries are my favorite food. And homemade french fries are so yum.

7. I believe tolerance and acceptance are SO important. Others may dislike me, my family, my background or beliefs because of who they are, but I choose to try to love them anyway because of who I am. The only thing I hate is hate (and onions).

Ok enough about ME, tell me something about YOU! 👇🏾

I’m not sure if time with someone else counts as

I’m not sure if time with someone else counts as self-care... but I think it does if it’s what you need. And man did I need this. Time away from my laptop. Away from homeschooling and kids asking for stuff (though I love them). And to have uninterrupted adult conversations with someone I love.

We haven’t been out on a date in more than seven months. We didn’t plan anything except the day on the calendar and a babysitter (thanks mom and sis!).

I’m not a very spontaneous person these days. But time together, away from the kids was all I wanted. The rest we are winging minute by minute. And I kinda love it that way.

“It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.”

Every Friday is our Family Movie Night 🍿|AD| Ou

Every Friday is our Family Movie Night 🍿|AD| Our rules? We each get a turn to pick the movie. When it’s your turn no one can argue with your choice. Devices are shut off and we all enjoy the movie. Snacks are also required.

Through this tradition we’re introduced our kids to so many fun movies. I have an ongoing list of nostalgic 80s and 90s movies I loved as a kid that I want to show them. Some like Karate Kid have been HUGE hits and some like Ghostbusters have been especially thrilling!

Tonight I’m hoping they all enjoy Jumanji as much as I did as a kid. I’m always looking for more movies to add to my list. Ghostbusters, Karate Kid or Jumanji--What's your favorite nostalgic flick? 🎥 Have your kids seen these yet?

Now on sale for a limited time, you can get these movies and more at FilmandFoodMovieSeries.com #FilmandFoodMovieSeries

Oops. Take 2. After showing up for your first day

Oops. Take 2.

After showing up for your first day of school only to find school was canceled, you wait a few days and try again. It’s just 2020.

I’d been back and forth on what to do about school this year. Virtual school, in person school, homeschooling or some combination? Ultimately we decided on a mix. After a 2 year break from homeschooling we are back at it! With Jayda and Ty at least. But I quickly realized Lee Lee makes the task... tricky. So she’s going to a little nature preschool a few days a week, complete with chickens, goats and a little farm. I think it a great mix for us and hopefully it goes well. I love having them near me but keeping the house clean and getting all my work done is another story 🤪.

But if this year has taught me anything it’s to roll with the punches.

How is the start of the school year going for you guys? How are you surviving? I’m here if you want to celebrate or vent!
