When you have kids and are a professional, you need a winter small wardrobe that does double duty.
I used to get really stressed out at the thought of everything I had to buy to straddle these two lives. I want to look professional in my work, but I also don’t want to look like a bum on the weekends.
What to do?
You make sure you have these in your closet.
You got invited to a holiday party where you don’t know a soul. You:
a) politely decline the invitation
b) accept, but then fake a stomach flu the day of the party, or
c) accept and go.
(Pssst… choose C, choose C)
Many times, you learn more from the struggle than the success.
You see, my blog income is down from the previous month. Don’t worry! I’ve made a few changes and I’m pursuing a different blog strategy.
And yes, that strategy still includes making money.
Holiday parties used to drive the sharp knife of fear through my chest. I don’t have party clothes! What am I going to wear?
Problem solved.
December! December! Bring on the holiday games!! I researched and pinned all over Pinterest to find you the best games for your family this year.
Crock Pot recipes! So easy, so delicious… but we need new ideas!
This big ol’ list of super easy and delicious slow cooker dinners will certainly keep your family happy. Start it in the morning and you will have dinner ready when you get home.
Yes! Win for us!
You are ready to lose your mind. These temper tantrums are driving you crazy!
I’ve been there! Here is the simple method that we started using on our kids.
Six months into our first child’s life, my husband and I couldn’t come up with a single idea for a date night beyond dinner and a movie. We would ask ourselves, “What did we do back when we had free time and full nights of sleep???” Cue input from the Whimsicle Moms and my guru sister-in-law herself: how about a murder mystery dinner! A creative date with no planning on my part? I was sold!
It’s almost Thanksgiving everyone!
This time of year is widely known as a time for family gatherings and food. Lots of food!
We are all anticipating the classic turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie. As well as looking forward to gathering around a big table and remembering all the wonderful things and people we have to be grateful for.
But it is also one of the busiest times of the year. It’s easy to forget – until the last possible moment – that you promised to bring a side dish to dinner!
