This kid. Almost always smiling with a twinkle of mischief in those clear blue eyes ✨ He May have been driving me crazy by 9am today but he sure is handsome! Also, his poor hair 🙈😂🤷🏻‍♀️ #quarantinehair #whatdayisit #quarantinedwithkids #mamasboy

Daily vibe over here. I’ve been having so much trouble getting myself into a routine so here’s to trying again tomorrow 🙈 Luckily we don’t have anywhere to be 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s hard to not feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, or anxious right now... maybe its finally time to start that gratitude journal I’ve been talking about! For accountability’s sake, here’s a few good things about today: 1. Cuddling my kids on the couch in the morning. 2. Watching Amelia Zoom with her class. 3. The sky was an incredible shade of blue today. 4. I got a shower. 5. Getting to Zoom with some of my mom friends in our neighborhood with a glass of wine tonight 💕 Your turn! What’s something you’re grateful for right now or that made you smile today? #positivethoughts #goodvibesonly #honestmotherhood #motherhoodinspired #gratitudeattitude

I’m currently watching Pride & Prejudice, eating dark chocolate covered pretzels, & trying to make up for my lack of drinking water today 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️💧 You?! Also, I linked a few of my favorite spring essential pieces for the kids in the @liketoknow.it app if you’re interested 😊 http://liketk.it/2MiAU #liketkit #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKfamily #LTKkids #springessentials #quarantinedwithkids

Feeling a little discouraged tonight if I’m being honest here. We’re on day 17 of self quarantine & Amelia ended up with a fever tonight after they played outside jumping in puddles 😭 She has a stuffy nose & a (wet) cough that she’s had for a bit & her fever wasn’t even quite 101 but I’m just frustrated. And seriously, how?! Before I get overly dramatic, though, we really did have a good day other than this 💕 So, that’s where we’re at... How are you holding up? #selfquarantine #honestmotherhood #motherhoodintheraw #covid19 #motherhoodjourney

It was a good weekend 😊We stayed in the house all day today & yesterday because of the rain so this is from Friday 💕Also, the only person to get changed out of their pajamas today was Amelia & she wore a mermaid bikini so there’s that (see my stories) 😂 hope you had a relaxing weekend! #quarantinelife #quarantinedwithkids #weekendmoments #lovewhatmatters

Yesterday we said goodbye to our Scooch. I remember bringing him home (to my bedroom because my dad was allergic) 14 years ago as the tiniest kitten & he slept with me every night until Joe & I got married (actually, until I we brought home his brother & he took his spot 🤦🏻‍♀️) 💕 He’s moved with me twice, tolerated me bringing home a crazy dog & then having 2 kids, & was always up for a cuddle when I needed it. He really was the sweetest cat. I’ll miss you, buddy 😢I hope you’re up there with your brother catching up on the last 3 years of playing & missed cuddles & eating all the cat treats & tuna you could ever want. #catsofinstagram

I love the morning but I’ve never been one of those get up, get dressed, & go people. I much prefer to get up early, sip my coffee while it’s hot, listen to the birds, & read (or something equally as slow). Anyone else? All this to say that often this turns into me staying in my pajamas all day if we don’t have anywhere to go... so here’s a picture of when I got dressed over the weekend because I’m not sure I have since 😂🙈🤷🏻‍♀️ #quarantinelife http://liketk.it/2M2uQ #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKspring #LTKstyletip #LTKfamily #everlane

A little #instagramvsreality for you tonight. Disclaimer: this is not from today. It rained all day here (finally stopped around 6ish maybe?), we didn’t get out of our pajamas until it was time to put on new ones, the kids fought & screamed (& so did I) for the better part of the afternoon, Joe tried to give me some time to work on the blog & my site wasn’t working, Joseph ran around naked, & we all basically went stir crazy. Quarantine day 10 😜 Positive takes: getting lots of cuddles, I actually love pajama days, willing myself to spend less time on my phone reading (I rarely find anything new or helpful anyway), we’re all healthy, Joe is working from home & we get to have lunch with him almost everyday, face timing with family, & SO. MANY. MORE. So two things: 1. Tell me I’m not alone & that you had a crazy day, too 😂 & 2. What’s keeping you sane/what are you grateful for right now? 💕 #keepitpositive #quarantinedwithkids #covid19 #wereallinthistogether #stayhome #lifewithtoddlers #comeonsummer #honestmotherhood
