Even though it might feel like we’re going to be Even though it might feel like we’re going to be trapped in our homes forever 🤪, this will end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For now, there are going to be bad days and hard moments. But there are also going to be moments of joy and beauty and love and laughter and peace and connection and fun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Life isn’t all good, but it’s also not all bad either. So even though this period of time will probably have its fair share of tough moments (a flooded bathroom and paint spilled all over my carpet are just two of many chaotic messes I’ve had in the past two days thanks to a really cute, creative, and independent five-year old 😅), I’m choosing to look for the good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And one day, when this is all a distant memory, I hope we can look back on it with a smile as we remember a time when people loved and served, when we slowed down and focused a little more on our homes and the people in it, when we learned what truly matters in life, and when we realized that perhaps we need less to be happy than we thought we did 💕. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s something about this time that you hope you never forget? Let’s share our positive moments with each other!

Each conference, they come out with a packet to keep kids engaged and listening during conference. The also create adorable big coloring sheets for holidays, conference, and Come Follow Me themes, like the Easter and Book of Mormon ones shown here. My husband and I love to print off the big coloring sheets for those we minister to and drop them off with a treat. And my husband is a primary teacher and plans to take a primary restoration themed conference packet to the kids in his class this week to let them know he’s thinking about them during this time of at-home church. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And that doesn’t even highlight all the amazing resources they share!

This book really got me thinking about where I am This book really got me thinking about where I am now versus where I thought I would be ten years ago. How much have I changed? Was that for the better or for worse? Is there anything about myself or my life that would totally shock younger me? I thought this book painted a great portrait about the importance of communication. So often we don’t say how we feel, but we assume others know, or we assume others feel a certain way, but we never ask and we’re wrong, and it creates a whole slew of problems 😅 that could so easily be avoided. I also really loved how it showed the importance of our thoughts and our focus. When we focus on the bad, we see more of the negative. But when we focus on the good, that’s what we see and how we feel 🙌🏼. Our thoughts are sooo powerful! I shared a lot more thoughts over on my stories, so go check those out and participate in the polls and questions! They’ll also be saved to a highlight so you can reference them later if you haven’t read it yet but want to. If you have read it, let me know what you thought in the comments below!

Admittedly, this has never been my strong suit 😬. I’m an Amazon girl through & through, and a total convenience shopper. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But small and local businesses need us now more than ever! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bigger chains and companies like Amazon, Target, and Chick-fil-A will survive this. Smaller ones might not. Some have already had to close their doors and more will soon 😞. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These 👆🏼are just a few ideas to help you support those smaller shops, both with and without money. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you have any more ideas, please share them in the comments so I can add to my personal list of ideas! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then take a minute to do something to support your favorite small business—like & comment on their last 3 posts, talk about why you love them in your stories, or tag a few friends on their page! Even the smallest action can make a difference 💕.
💗 GIVEAWAY CLOSED: SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS GIVEA 💗 GIVEAWAY CLOSED: SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS GIVEAWAY NUMBER 1💗 Congrats to @scatterandcreate for winning! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With all that’s going on in the world with #coronavirus many small businesses are suffering. So for the next couple weeks, I’m going to do some giveaways to share some of my favorite small businesses/products with you. These are all shops that I buy from, support, and LOVE! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today’s spotlight is @work.and.wonder . Rio is the sweetest soul and has a variety of products and free resources to help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints strengthen their personal testimonies of the gospel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Each conference they release two workbooks: one for adults and one for kids. They are GORGEOUS! They even have a subscription service so you don’t have to remember to order every conference. I love when mine lands in my mailbox every six months! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After conference, they compile all the talks into a wide-margin document you can print (for free, obviously) so you can take extra notes and get more out of the talks. They also create a weekly study schedule and send weekly emails with even more inspired info to go along with each week’s talk. And it’s all amazing! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Plus, they just started a quarterly magazine—both digital and print, depending on your preference. Guys, there is so much goodness here! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Everything Rio comes out with is amazing! Check my stories for more thoughts.

So. Many. Worries. This past week. Am I right?! It So. Many. Worries. This past week. Am I right?! It’s been insane and every morning I wake up wondering how else the world will break, shut down, change. I just want to remind you that however you’re feeling right now, THAT’S OKAY! Let yourself feel! Then, when you’re ready to move into some more positive emotions, here are some things I’ve found that help me get out of my head and my swirling thoughts 🤯. A lot of these help with almost any strong, negative emotion—fear, anger, frustration, sadness, regret, shame. But I know that a good percentage of us have felt at least some level of worry this week, so that’s what I want to focus on here. Friends, we’re going to get through this! How have you been managing all the stress this week? And it’s totally okay if the answer is cookies and Netflix 😋.
After much thought, I’ve decided to not continue After much thought, I’ve decided to not continue the Read Aloud Book Club 💔. Details were emailed to those who signed up on the blog, and I shared some more info on my stories as well. I apologize to those who were looking forward to the full year! It wasn’t an easy decision, but I felt it was the best choice for my brand and, more importantly, my family. If you read Number the Stars for March, drop your (or your kids) favorite thing about the book below 👇🏼.
I created this graphic two weeks ago, but I feel l I created this graphic two weeks ago, but I feel like it’s needed now more than ever. With all this #coronavirus stuff going on, there’s a lot of stress and concern and opinions and information and cancellations, and, honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming 😅. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take a minute to check-in with yourself. How are you feeling? What do you need to help you feel more rested, peaceful, happy, or centered? Then find a way to make it happen 🙌🏼. Even though life feels a little chaotic right now, we can’t neglect to take care of ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How are you going to take care of yourself this weekend? Share in the comments below!
Life isn’t perfect, but it’s such a beautiful Life isn’t perfect, but it’s such a beautiful blessing. I’m so grateful I get to spend it with these goofballs (and their dad too)! What’s something you’re grateful for? Let me know in the comments 👇🏼.
“I should be more organized.” “I should read “I should be more organized.” “I should read aloud to my kids.” “I should run a marathon.” “I should teach my kids to cook.” “I should give up gluten.” “I should wake up before my kids.” “I should do yoga and meditate.” “I should...I should...I should.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh man...I can’t even count the number of times I’ve gotten on Instagram only to have thoughts like these fly at me from every single direction. That pesky comparison bug sure is sneaky. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But friends, these “should” thoughts aren’t helpful, and they’re also not true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The truth is, we’re doing an amazing job at life, right now, as we are. If we want to do something different or try something new, great! We should do it! 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But that pressure we feel to do something because it seems like everyone else is doing it? Girls, we gotta let that go! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Easier said then done, for sure 😅. But here’s your friendly reminder mid-scroll to be you, see the good you do, and don’t let the way someone else lives their life make you feel less than. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Leave a 🙌🏼 if you’re ready to stop shoulding on yourself.
I learned sooo many things last week @altsummit an I learned sooo many things last week @altsummit and had a couple big personal breakthroughs I can’t wait to share. But there were two things that kept showing up again and again and again that made my heart so happy 😍. 1) Be YOU. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing or saying or thinking. Just show up as yourself—unapologetically, authentically you! You were made as you are for a reason, and the world needs YOUR light in the way that only you can give it. So shine, girl ✨! 2) Another woman’s success DOES NOT equal your failure. There is room for everyone at this table called life, and her success has nothing to do with you. So celebrate the successes of everyone in your life! I loved seeing this huge community of incredible women all cheering each other on. Community wins over competition every. single. time. 💕. And along those same lines, don’t put yourself down when you see someone else doing something great or being awesome at something. Just because another mom is really great at playing with her kids doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom because playing doesn’t come naturally to you, right? We all have our strengths and weaknesses and that’s what makes life so special and incredible and beautiful. Keep being you and owning what you bring to the table. Focus on that, not on what you lack, and things will feel a whole lot brighter ☀️. I’m so grateful to all the boss babes who taught me these lessons over and over and over last week because I sure need these reminders sometimes 😅. Double tap if you agree!
