Truths in this Photo:⠀
🖤I almost didn’t post it, because…..it’s not perfect. There are people in the background. In fact, I took this a year ago. But you know what 2020 has shown me? Perfection is a myth. Post the photo.⠀
🖤Stomach rolls. They’re there. They always have been. They always will be. And yes, I’ll wear a two piece, cause I want to. ⠀
🖤I watched the Social Dilemma….and I have a lot of thoughts. Kids are using social media at a younger and younger age. And this might seem like a strange response, but I think representation and showing up here in an honest way is more important than ever. Our kids need to be inundated with the idea that we are all beautiful, just as we are. So, you’re going to be getting a whole lot more perfectly imperfect around here. It’s needed.⠀

🍂I love Fall at our Happiest Place. The magic of Halloween and watching the decorations go up, is truly special. Disneyland’s Halloween Party (Oogie Boogie Bash) is a big family tradition for us…..and I’m so sad it’s not happening this year.⠀
⠀
🍂But…..we’re making it work (cause what else can we do, right?!?).⠀
⠀
🍂We having Disney+ Plus watch parties, and working our way through tons of Halloween movies. ⠀
⠀
🍂Swipe to see our full list of must watch Halloween movies on Disney+ (yes you can save it, and share if you’d like).⠀
⠀
🍂Now, what movies are we missing?!? What are YOUR favorite classic Halloween movies?⠀

🍂🍁Fall clothes are the best of all the season: true or false?!?🍁🍂⠀
⠀
🍁I know. It’s so basic….but I love fall dresses, rich colors, and the cool, crisp air in the fall. ⠀
⠀
🍂Did you see all the new fall dresses I snagged from Target? They have some GREAT ones, and shout out to them…..the size range is the best I’ve seen in awhile!⠀
⠀
🍁Which of these is your fav?!?

🧡<pixarfest partner> Tonight is the night! It’s time for our Inside Out Watch party. We’ve been counting down all week as a part of #PixarFest. Just a reminder: #PixarFest is going all monthlong and each week is a different movie. It’s been so fun to share our favorite new Inside Out products with you guys, and to see who the Inside Out super fans are (bonus points if you got all three trivia questions correct in our stories this week).....and I’m super excited to celebrate all things Inside Out as well watch the movie tonight on Disney+.⠀
⠀
💛Now my question for you......who is YOUR favorite Inside Out character???? ⠀

Now, I know, I know…..the kids. Distance Learning. But, let’s make this conversation one for US. What shows are you watching as a fun escape? List your favs so we can all get some new ideas.⠀
⠀
I’m Currently Watching:⠀
-📺Away on Netflix: I’m HERE for this new series that tells the story of a female led space crew on a mission to Mars (we all need to see that girl power right now, RIGHT?!?)⠀
📺Lovecraft Country on HBO: Robbie and I are watching this one together, and it took a minute to get into it but we are HOOKED. It’s so well done, and totally different than anything else we’ve watched recently. Think film noir / horror / period piece….it’s GREAT.⠀
⠀
📺What are YOU watching? Leave suggestions in the comments (and don’t forget to save this post for future reference)⠀
⠀
And THANK YOU to @mommydaughteradventrs for this fun edit!

🧡🖤Let’s talk about Halloween🧡🖤⠀
⠀
So LA County announced suggested guidelines today (to be clear, we live in San Diego Country….but I’m guessing this will look similar):⠀
🖤no trick or treating⠀
🧡no trunk or treats⠀
🧡no Halloween parties with those outside your household⠀
⠀
Let’s brainstorm. What are YOU doing for Halloween? Fun ideas? ⠀
⠀
We’re still wearing costumes. We’re still celebrating. I’m still breaking out the Halloween decor. Because….I believe we can find joy in the midst of this hard time. And frankly, our kids need it (and so do we).⠀

⏰REPEAT AFTER ME: Just because I have the time,

⏰REPEAT AFTER ME: Just because I have the time, doesn’t mean I have to do it.⏰⠀
⠀
Every morning I have a to do list. Of things I plan to get done for the blog, Lydia’s school, household tasks, etc. And my type a personality? Loves that list. I love checking things off. It feels cathartic. It makes me feel proud of how productive I am. So this morning, while Lydia was on her class Zoom…..I finished the blog post I had on my to do list. What did my type a self decide? Oh good, I can start ANOTHER one. Why not right? I HAD THE TIME. I should do MORE.⠀
⠀
For the first time in a long time, I stopped myself. Just because I have ten minutes, doesn’t mean I have to do more. Doesn’t mean I have to add ANOTHER task to the checklist. What if I…..took that ten minutes to relax? Took that ten minutes to read? Took that ten minutes to just, go sit in my garden and enjoy?⠀
⠀
There is so much pressure in the midst of this crazy time to come out of this with a new skill, a thriving new business, ready to run a marathon……⠀
⠀
What if we just……focus on taking care of ourselves during this time? Focus on mental health? Focus on our stress levels? Ten minutes at a time.⠀
⠀
Trust me, my to do list isn’t going anywhere. But balance is hard for me. Relaxing is hard for me. So not adding to it? I’m calling it a win.⠀
⠀
⏰JUST BECAUSE I HAVE THE TIME, DOESN’T MEAN I HAVE TO DO IT.⏰
