⏰ Ok, tell the truth. What time is bedtime in your house…right now? ⏰⠀
⠀
Somehow, even me….the super Type-A teacher mom has let it go for the summer. During the school year, we’re strict with an 8:30 bedtime (and Lydia reads for a bit after)…but now? I don’t even know. It’s more like, whenever we finish a movie or feel like it. ⠀
⠀
We’re coming up on the start of the school year, so it’s time to implement a plan. ⠀
⠀
What am I doing? ⠀
⏰Each night we’re moving a little closer to 8:30 pm (just a bit at a time) ⠀
⏰Two weeks before school starts (now this is the painful part)…. We’re setting a morning alarm; we need to get back into a rhythm⠀
⏰We’ll be using @natrolofficial Kids’ Melatonin to help if/when needed…. It’s safe and effective for ages 4 and up, 100% drug free and perfect for getting back to balance with our normal school year sleep schedule ⠀
⠀
Are you ready for the school year? What helps you get back into the rhythm? ⠀

🇺🇸 “And -- and to all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.” 🇺🇸⠀
⠀
I posted this same quote in 2016, as my eyes filled with tears. Tears because the day before I had taken my 2 year old with me to vote, and told her she was helping to vote for the first female president. And I was shocked at how wrong I had been.⠀
⠀
Today? Eyes filled with tears again. Because she’s six. And she’s old enough to REALLY know what’s happening. Let’s do this Lydia. You’re coming with me. To the voting booth, masks on and strong hearts ready. It’s time to show our daughters, our sons and ourselves what and who we value as a nation. I believe in love, I believe in empathy, I believe in representation, diversity and I believe in a country that welcomes ALL of us.⠀
⠀
And I believe we can cross party lines to unite together making change that will help everyone. Vote. Register to vote. ⠀
⠀
You can be liberal and fiercely patriotic. You can be conservative and compassionate to those in need. Let’s eliminate the stereotypes here…..and get back to being a country we can all be proud of. TOGETHER. ⠀
⠀
🇺🇸 Now hit double tap if you’re ready to vote in November. 🇺🇸 #bidenharris2020 #rockthevote

🌱3 Weeks. That’s right, it took 3 weeks to prep the dirt for this garden. I wasn’t totally aware what I was getting myself into, and this may sound silly…..but I’m pretty proud I didn’t quit.🌱⠀
⠀
Reminder: all bodies are strong, worthy, and capable.⠀
⠀
If I’m being honest, I wasn’t totally sure I could do this on my own. But, I did. Sore arms, sore hands, and a proud heart. You never know where you’ll get the reminder you need. You can do hard things. And so can I.⠀
⠀
Now, let’s talk plants. Starters or seeds? Help a newbie gardener out here!

💕On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best) how are you prioritizing your daily self-care routine right now? <wellvolution partner>⠀
⠀
💕Ok, can I be honest? This has NEVER been my strong suit. I’m a 2 or 3 on a good day. And lately? I’m just not doing what I need to do to take care of myself. I’m trying, but I need to make some shifts. Small ones that I think will make a big difference.⠀
⠀
💕I was inspired recently after exploring a really cool program called Wellvolution that was developed by @blueshieldofca. Wellvolution is actually the largest digital network of on-demand health and wellness apps and online coaches – personalized to fit your individual needs…and it inspired me to make my own mental and physical health a priority. The whole idea? With support and small habitual shifts, we can make major changes to our physical and mental health (and it’s a bonus that this is available at no added cost to Blue Shield of California members).⠀
⠀
💕So, what am I doing? Today, I’m kicking off a 30-day self-care challenge. We all know it takes 30 days to create new habits, and I figure, if I commit here…y’all will hold me accountable, right? I’m sharing more information in my stories. Now, here’s the fun part, I hope some of you will join me!!!! #wellvolution

Have you been following my epic undertaking in stories? Last month I decided to turn a random dirt plot on the side of our house into a vegetable garden. We’ve removed a stump, taken out literally thousands of rocks, and today I put a raised bed in. Not gonna lie, I had NO idea what a huge project this would be! But, we’re finally on to the next stage. Dirt and planting.⠀
⠀
Advice Needed: ⠀
🥬what veggies should I plant?⠀
🍅tips? Tricks? ⠀

Glad I’ve become a plant lady for 2020.
