⚡️⚡️I Smell……..CHILDREN!⚡️⚡️⠀
⠀
🎃I know, I know……we’re all talking about Halloween plans for the kids, but I had to have a little fun too. I mean, we’re all smelling, seeing and hearing our kids constantly…..so might as well get in on the fun right?⠀
⠀
👻Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and when I was teaching I used to have a separate costume for school and home. So? We’re doing that this year too. This is my first costume (it might all be downhill from here, does it get any better?)…….but the next one? Is a family costume.⠀
⠀
🧹Hint: it’s Disney themed too. Can you guess what it is?⠀
⠀
⚡️What are you dressing up as? I know Halloween looks a little different this year, but…..we can still celebrate right? Even if those Halloween parties are virtual! ⠀
⠀
🎃Thank you to our friends at Shop Disney for helping us celebrate Halloween at home by sending this adorable costume, now don’t judge if I wear it in the background of Lydia’s zoom classes this week, ha! You can use #DisneyHalloMoments to look for Halloween at Home inspo! ⠀

💖However you say it…..it’s filled with love. There is something so special about dads and their daughters. One of the things I love most about Robbie? The special relationship he has with Lydia. Lately they’ve been going on their own date nights (she even puts on her most grown up clothes for them) and it’s absolutely adorable (they are obsessed with going to this fancy ice cream shop near us that makes the BEST homemade ice cream sandwiches).⠀
⠀
💖#PenguinKidsPartner You guys know I love a great children’s book (it’s basically my love language) and this one from @penguinkids? Is absolutely adorable (a GREAT gift idea). What We’ll Build: Plans For Our Together Future is the latest book from @OliverJeffers (one of our favorites). He creates beautiful stories with illustrations that are stunning….and this one? No exception. This sweet book shares a father and daughter who are building a life together with tools (tear jerker warning). ⠀
⠀
💖This is the perfect holiday gift for dads (and their daughters) everywhere.⠀
⠀
💖Cheers to the dads, who build up our daughters and encourage them to be the superwomen they are becoming. #WhatWellBuild💖

🚨 #AllerLifePartner WHAT IS HAPPENING? 🚨⠀

🚨 #AllerLifePartner WHAT IS HAPPENING? 🚨⠀

Yup, that’s what I started asking right about this time LAST year. It was our first fall here in our little town in San Diego. And I FELT AWFUL. When I dropped Lydia off at school one morning, another mom mentioned… “man, it’s allergy season alright!” And there it was. My seasonal allergies were WORSE than ever. I was taking allergy medication and it was doing a great job with the allergy symptoms itself, But I still felt, run down and sort of ‘out of it’.⠀
⠀
This year? I’m attacking those ‘blah’ feelings head on with @AllerLife. These are the 4 things I’m adding to my routine to help with overall wellness and immunity support:⠀
⠀
1️⃣Hydrate (you guys know that not drinking enough water contributes to a LOT of health issues, including fatigue). So first things first? I’m making sure I’m actually drinking enough water.⠀
2️⃣AllerLife: AllerLife is a drug-free line of supplements designed specifically to support allergy sufferers with these EXACT issues. It comes in three blends (ENERGIZE, VITALITY and SLEEP) to support your specific needs as allergy sufferers. I’m trying out Energize (are you surprised?!?). It’s got vitamin b2, turmeric and even caffeine to combat that sluggish feeling I get this time of year. I’ll report back as I try out AllerLife… because let’s be honest, this just isn’t the time to be sleeping on the job.⠀
3️⃣movement (I’ve found that working out in the morning helps to “clear the fog” a bit and gives me a burst of energy)⠀
4️⃣fruits and veggies (you know those daily smoothies I’ve been drinking? switching out my regular lunch for a dose of the vitamins I need has helped a TON, I’m getting less of that after lunch slump)⠀

✨How many more years of mommy and me trips do I

✨How many more years of mommy and me trips do I have before she’s not into it? (she’s almost 7 for the record)✨⠀
⠀
💫These two days were……much needed. It’s so crazy to think that RIGHT before the world shut down, Lydia and I were on the mommy and me trip of a lifetime. I missed these special trips with her, and this was the PERFECT way to get back into it within our comfort level.⠀
⠀
I wanted to share some things that helped us on our trip.⠀
⠀
The Hyatt Regency Orange County hosted us and I loved:⠀
💫the family suite that gave us plenty of space (hello Lydia even did virtual PE in the room)⠀
✨the online check in and the masks required in all public areas⠀
💫the open to pick up food at Stabucks in the Lobby (or Nova on property) to eat in the room⠀
✨the awesome pool and recreation area (Lydia is now pickle ball obsessed)⠀
💫the hotel is less than 2 miles from Disneyland, so I knew it would be easy to check out Downtown Disney and that if it was too crowded we could easily leave and try another time⠀
⠀
Downtown Disney:⠀
✨this was Lydia’s first time since it reopened⠀
💫I highly suggest visiting during the week, the crowds were low ⠀
✨the Backlot Premiere Shop is new, and a TON of fun (and it’s technically inside Disney California Adventure so…..you’re IN THE PARK)⠀
💫Marceline’s always has a long wait, so head there FIRST and put your name in the virtual line (it was about two hours before our turn came, we did other things and they texted us when it was our turn to shop)⠀
⠀
I’m so glad we got to have a magical couple days, and Lydia’s already asking when we can head back! ⠀
⠀
💫Now, tell the truth…….at what age is she going to be OVER this???💫⠀

💖Happy International Day of the Girl (y’all know this holiday is right up my alley)……I wanted to take a few minutes to celebrate this girl of mine and to share some info about ways we can celebrate all girls.⠀
⠀
💖I’m proud of my kind, creative, lead the pack mini me who is an amazing artist and gives a compliment like no other. My goal for this kid (and yours too)? That she grows up in a world where we elevate each other as women. Where we empower and support. So that our girls? They become the generation that knows that girls…..really can do anything.⠀
⠀
💖Did you know that Boys & Girls Clubs of America started as a boys-only organization? 2020 is the 30th anniversary of recognizing girls as Club members and officially becoming the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. I love seeing the amazing changes that they’ve made in the last 30 years, and I can attest to their strong support in local communities (as a teacher I was SO impressed with their programs). ⠀
⠀
💖To celebrate International Day of the Girl, I’d like to encourage YOU to make a donation to the Boys and Girls Club. And the really cool part? My friends at Dove (I know, they’re awesome) have committed to making their own $250,000 donation to Boys & Girls Clubs of America in honor of International Day of the Girl! ⠀
⠀
No amount is too small:⠀
💖$5 can provide a girl in need with virtual homework help and mentoring.⠀
💖$10 can provide her 10 healthy snacks.⠀
💖$20 can feed a girl after school for a month, sometimes the only healthy meal she’ll receive all day.⠀
💖$50 can provide books, supplies and virtual activities to help seven girls keep reading skills sharp and prevent learning loss. ⠀
⠀
I’m sharing more in my stories!⠀

🚲Training wheels? Or no training wheels? Where

🚲Training wheels? Or no training wheels? Where are the kids in your house at?🚲⠀
⠀
<Sponsored by Avrio Health> One of the most positive things that has come out of all our time at home? Lydia learned to ride her bike without training wheels! She’s so proud of herself and we’re about to upgrade her to a bigger bike.⠀
⠀
Are you still working on bike riding? A few things that helped us (bookmark this page so that you can easily refer to these later)⠀
1)practice practice practice WITH the training wheels on first, Lydia hadn’t been riding her bike a TON....and riding every day helped her feel more confident⠀
2)a great helmet and safety gear......elbow and knee pads for the super cautious kids⠀
3) prepare for accidents : @betadine_us antiseptic cream is our first line of defense to help protect against germs and prevent infection in minor scrapes and cuts. Because of its no-sting promise and infection protection, we started keeping the cream and bandages in our downstairs bathroom right off our garage, so that we could easily access if Lydia needed it. We could clean, treat, and protect against a variety of germs in minor cuts and scrapes, so that she was ready to get right back in the saddle.⠀
⠀
What are YOUR best learning to ride a bike tips?
