5 Women on How They’re Balancing Motherhood During Quarantine

This is a post I've been excited about for weeks and can't wait to share with you guys! Like most people out there, March and April have been a struggle. While I'm beyond grateful for our health, our jobs, and our family, it's a trying time for everyone in the world. Working while caring for George has been comical and quite honestly, I'm just trying to survive one day at a time. Through it all, I've been leaning on connecting with others, especially other women and mothers who are trying to *balance* everything. With that, I thought it would be fun to share some tips from women I really respect. From women I work with every day to others in the industry who make it look easy, I've asked each woman below to share tips on how they're handling daily life right now. Whether you're a mother or a woman trying to get through this time, I hope this article makes you feel connected and a little more sane. :) ...

Quick Ways to Connect With Others Right Now

One of the things I miss most about normal life, by far, is seeing family and friends. I miss my weekly coffee catch-ups with girlfriends, weekends with family, and grabbing drinks with friends. I even miss work meetings! While this continues, we're making sure to stay connected to loved ones and I honestly think it helps my mindset so much. On the days where I don't have human contact with anyone outside my house (love my boys!), I definitely feel off. ...

8 Slides to Wear in Or Out of the House

It seems like forever ago that I shared the only sandals I'm buying for summer, and let's just say I had to change up my thinking a bit. While I'm still all about those trends listed (and dying to wear them, TBH), the only thing actually being worn lately are slippers and slides. I'm trying to step my game up by reaching for slides rather than slippers every. single. day., and even a little shift like that makes me feel more pulled together. I may be in sweats 99% of the time, but at least I'm also wearing a more chic shoe, right? ...

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Anyone else been getting 10x more use out of their kitchen lately? Same. Aus and I both have been working really hard this year on cleaning up our diets and trying to strike more of that "balance" they say is possible. For the most part it's been going well, but I have to admit, this quarantine situation has me craving all the delicious baked goods and junk food. Honestly, I'm not mad about it. It's this craving that led me to start experimenting with cookie recipes and you guys, I think I landed on a serious winner! ...

Activities for Families with Babies + Toddlers During Quarantine

First, how is everyone doing with the craziness happening in the world right now? Sometimes I honestly can't even believe that this is our reality. But, Austin and I are doing our best to stay home and be positive. We don't want to stress too much and have George pick up on that energy, so honestly, we're doing everything we can to distract ourselves with fun, family-oriented activities while quarantined. I figured a lot of you are going through the same emotions, so I wanted to create a little bit of a resource for you guys. I shared a similar list in my newsletter last week but saw such a response I wanted to give this info a permanent home on the blog and on Pinterest so you can pin this post or either of the graphics below so you can save for later. Or, you can also right-click (on desktop) or click and hold (on your phone) to save the graphics so you can reference them any time! ...
