I finally put some of those frozen bananas to use in my banana bread! 😆 Who else has a freezer full of brown bananas? Can’t just be me.

Thrifting and finding a super good clearance deal = my favorite! I’m not really sure what my style is these days.. but I’m having fun playing around with it and feeling a little more like ME in what I’m wearing. Warped Tour heart, coffee shop soul vibes? ✨😆

I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, keeping up with a house, and trying to take care of everyone else… I forgot to ask myself what I actually like.

So lately I’ve been paying attention.

The clothes I want to wear.

The hobbies I want to try.

The spaces I want to create.

The things that make me feel like myself.

Maybe this is exactly what your late 30s are for. Not becoming someone new.. but remembering who you are.✨

I still just sit and stare at them in disbelief sometimes.. my twin babies.. my last babies.. and somehow they’ve been here for 4 whole years. If you’re a twin mom, you know that the time passes different. The early stages are a blur in a way I don’t even know how to explain. It makes it all a bit more bittersweet.

I love you Bennett & Everett! 💙💙

Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was a teenager and I only vaguely remembered a ride or two! There was so much to do for the littlest brothers and aside from being HOT, it was perfect. 

Everett was big mad at us for taking him on the SpiderMan ride and did not trust our judgement the rest of the time. 🤣 He LOVED the 1 Fish 2 Fish ride and wanted to ride that all day. 

Bennett on the other hand was all about the thrills and the Trollercoaster was his favorite. He said it was “Torrifying” but he made us all ride it with him multiple times.

I rode Velocicoaster with Nate, Landon, and Maile. And while I would do it again - for a moment I did think I might die. I only did that once. 🤣 Nate and Landon rode it multiple times. Hagrid’s was more my speed and Cohen agrees with me! 

I am a Disney girl at heart! But Disney doesn’t have a *real life* baby dinosaur that you can pet sooo there’s some competition. 😆

It’s Time To Start Loving Yourself Again

Photo taken by Sarah of Space, Place & Southern Grace

Hey there, fellow moms juggling a bustling household and a career from home! Let’s talk about something important: loving yourself again. It’s time to reclaim that self-love we all deserve. Sure, life’s hectic, but we shouldn’t have hit pause on loving ourselves in the first place. So, let’s kickstart this journey back to self-love. But remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint!

In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that I think will help when it comes to loving yourself again. If you would like to find out more about this topic, then keep reading down below.

Put A Little Effort Into Yourself

So, where do we begin? Well, let’s start by putting in little more effort and showing ourselves a little extra TLC. Yes, that means diving into a consistent skincare routine. Trust me, soft, nourished skin does wonders for the soul. But it’s not just about appearances; it’s about how we feel. So, rise and shine, take a refreshing shower, get dressed, fix that hair (even if it’s just a messy bun!), and remind yourself: you’re worth it.

Addressing What Bothers You

Now, about those bits we’re not too fond of—like maybe that nose that’s been bothering you? It’s okay to want change, as long as it’s your genuine desire. Remember, this journey is about you, not others. So, if altering something will truly make you happier, then go for it. You can find more expert insights here on the whole topic. Research, consult, and take your time.

Progress may be slow, but it’s progress nonetheless.

Take Care Of Your Mind

And let’s not forget about our minds. Self-love isn’t just about pampering the body; it’s nurturing the mind too. Get enough sleep (hard to do as a mom – I know!), don’t bottle up your emotions, and allow yourself to feel—all of it. It might feel unfamiliar at first, but trust me, it’s worth it.

So, here’s to starting anew on our journey of self-love. It won’t be easy, and it won’t happen overnight. But with every effort we put in, we’re one step closer to rediscovering that beautiful self-love we all deserve. And believe me, it’s absolutely worth it.

For some, therapy can be the best solution to help moms let their feelings out, and if you need time to do that, finding some help from a site like care.com can be extremely useful, allowing you to have the time you need to really get the most out of your therapy.

Embrace Your Inner Whimsy

Imagine for a moment that within you lies an abundance of wonder that’s waiting to come out. Unleashing this inner spark requires more than wearing fancy hats or sparkly shoes, it means inviting joy and surprise into your daily life through your spirit dancing freely and welcoming surprises as part of everyday life. Rediscover that childlike wonder that once made even simple tasks feel thrilling, such as chasing butterflies or catching snowflakes on your tongue.

Allow yourself to indulge in spontaneous adventures, whether that means going on an impromptu day trip, trying out a new hobby, or simply daydreaming in the afternoon sun. Let the little joys fill your days with pleasure, turning mundane moments into treasured memories. Get yourself balloons for no apparent reason or sing along to Disney songs without fear of who may be listening.

Life is too short not to embrace our quirky sides! Add some whimsical joy into your routine and observe how it changes your perspective and strengthens the journey toward self-love. You might just find the result is life-altering.
