Joe let these two watch Home Alone last night & now they’re obsessed with “trapping” our house 🤦🏻‍♀️ Needless to say, our house is currently a wreck 🤪🎄 #tistheseason #justkidding #itsamesseveryday ALSO, don’t forget to check out the link in my bio- I’m currently hosting a giveaway (through 12/5) AND donating 50% of my commission from every @beautycounter purchase to Child Life at CHOP in lieu of a physical toy drive this year (through 12/11)! Sidenote: these leggings are my favorite!

In honor of Giving Tuesday, to kick off the 12 Day

In honor of Giving Tuesday, to kick off the 12 Days of Christmas, & in light of our experience last week, I wanted to give back to our favorite children’s hospital. When Amelia was in @childrensphila last week, we had frequent visits from two Child Life Specialists who sat with us during procedures (like getting an IV or bloodwork), brought her toys to play with & books to read while we waited for test results, & even gave her a little polar bear stuffed animal to practice putting in an IV & a LEGO to build & keep. Just these small acts of kindness made a huge difference in our time there. In years past, we have typically adopted a family, donated to Toys for Tots, & given to other local drives but it feels especially fitting to be able to give back to CHOP & other children in need this year. While they typically accept physical donations for toys, crafts, etc., this year they cannot because of COVID, though many children will still be spending the holidays in the hospital. I would love to open this up to you by donating 50% of my commission on orders placed on my Beautycounter page (BeautyCounter.com/brittanymonroe) between today & December 11 to Child Life at CHOP. My goal is to raise $500 AND Joe & I will match up to $200. Here’s to making at least one more child’s hospital stay a little bit better this year. Happy holidays & thank you so much for your support! #CHOP #givingtuesday #giveback

Today went so fast! We had a slow morning but spent this #smallbusinesssaturday afternoon getting our Christmas tree from a local tree farm (the same one we’ve been going to for the last 3 years!) & testing lights (why do they never work?! 🤪). Hoping to walk to our local coffee shop tomorrow morning for scones & then finish decorating & cleaning tomorrow 🎄✨💕 Did you see my first IGTV? It’s full of fun little #giftideas & #cleanbeauty favorites- if you order through the link in my bio, aside from being entered into a giveaway for one of my favorite products, if you’re local- you can opt to ship your order to my house & I’ll take care of breaking apart the gift sets & packing them & wrapping them depending on what you want/need! Message me for details 💕 #bcworks #betterbeauty #giftclean #itsthemostwonderfultimeoftheyear

It’s really hard to feel anything other than gratitude when I look at these two regardless of anything else that may be going on at any given moment. Being present doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m typically living in the future, planning my next few steps to the best of my ability (& sometimes dwelling on the past, thinking about what I could have done better or differently), but I want to focus on being more present. So I practice gratitude & mindfulness & I’m never more aware of how present I am than when I’m with these two. It’s almost impossible for me to be anything but when I’m with them (#ifyouknowyouknow)! They’re also the reason I started researching ingredients in food, beauty products, clothes, etc. (before I got pregnant with Amelia) & the reason I continue to do so 😊 Check out my *f i r s t* IGTV with a mini clean beauty #giftguide on how to break up & pair @beautycounter holiday sets! If you order through the link in my bio, you’ll be entered into a giveaway and if you’re local, I will sort & package your gifts as shown in the video for free! http://liketk.it/32v0O #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKgiftspo #LTKkids #LTKFall #miniboden #thanksgivingoutfits #wunderkinlove #fallstyle

Caught these two like this the other day doing “science” in the tub 😂 I can’t say the cleanup was my favorite but I can say that I’m extra grateful tonight to have them to clean up after 💕 It’s well past my bedtime but I’m excited that I just published a blog post with some of my favorite Pre-Black Friday sales (BeautyCounter’s 15% off sale + free shipping is still going on, too!)! Head to lizzieandjaneblog.com to see! I’ll be adding more as the weekend goes on- I planned to have all this up & more last week but Amelia getting sick derailed my plans a bit 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hoping to have some gift guides & my wish list up next week-ish! http://liketk.it/32cWf #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKgiftspo #LTKkids #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKsustainablestyle #sustainablestyle #momlife #giftguide #blackfridaysales #shopsmall

Today was a day. We’re still trying to keep Amel

Today was a day. We’re still trying to keep Amelia from running around too much (& no jumping) but she was playing with Joseph, I guess a little too much, & her hip started bothering her again 😩 Fingers crossed it’s just a blip & tomorrow’s better. I was feeling worried this afternoon (if she gets a fever with the hip pain, it’s back to the hospital we go) & then this quote popped into my head as I was writing our annual Christmas card note & thinking about the New Year, “I don’t know what lies around the bend, but I’m going to believe that the best does.” - L. M. Montgomery. I tend to worry many, many steps ahead & this quote was exactly what I needed today. Is there a quote or mantra you repeat to yourself when you get anxious or stressed? If so, please share! I have a few but this is one of my favorites. http://liketk.it/326Xh #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKfamily #LTKkids #LTKFall #LTKsustainablestyle #sustainablestyle #sustainablefashion #everlane #patagonia #happyhannas #giftsforher
