I kind of had a hard time writing that, because I’m still telling myself that I’m trying to justify something I was so firmly against.

But I grew up having a TV available anytime I wanted, and don’t remember it consuming my childhood.

I think it’s more in the navigating modern day media that made me so firmly against it.

Seeing how accessible it is, on all things like phones and tablets and just being terrified that it can quickly take over a developing brain.

But in using discernment to the quantity and content type they consume, I’m seeing it’s possible to include it without relying on it.

Still praying another sick day is far away…

When the month of July was almost over, my husband turned to me and said “why don’t you just take the month of August off too?”

Because even though I still found myself being distracted elsewhere, there was a big sense of relief that came with taking the time off.

I do think that taking breaks from social media is great for your mental health.

But, when I caught myself getting distracted with other things on my phone I realized that giving up social media wasn’t the answer.

It was finding a better system to have a healthier relationship with it.

Because the truth is, I enjoy working online. Creating content has been a huge learning curve, but a fun one. And above all, the community I’ve connected with was something I missed while I was gone.

So instead of having an all or nothing approach, I decided to start with keeping my phone on a designated shelf in my home.

I’m going against all my millennial urges to have it on vibrate and put the ringer on to know when I’m getting a call.

Other than that, every other notification can wait until the day is over.

When I first started telling people that I was going to homeschool my children, I sometimes felt like I had to defend it.

I was less worried about my ability to teach them and more worried about the judgement that was being passed on my children about how they’ll succeed with “just me”.

But that’s the thing, homeschooling isn’t “just me”.

Yes, I’ll be putting together their curriculum and be their main support as they work through it.

But I truly believe that so much of learning is based on experiencing different people and places outside a classroom.

To be encouraged to ask questions to the cashier at the grocery store, or place your own order at a restaurant.

To go to a park and disrupt someone’s game to ask if you can join in.

To go to new places and learn about it as you go.

It doesn’t have to be perfect or represent what a classroom does.

In fact, the whole point is that it looks quite different.

Stay curious, and life will take care of the rest.

Shoutout to Kate Barta for sending me the message that undid any doubt of travelling solo with two kids solo 🌼

I almost didn’t start creating content because I thought I wasn’t “influencer” material.

I mean, it felt awkward at first; but I’ve always enjoyed being an open book. So I decided to give it a try.

It didn’t take me long to realize that trying to keep up with everyone else’s “rules” for success was draining me and not actually helping me create the community I wanted.

The mom I’m talking to values making her children a priority, and not even having an online business should get in the way of that.

I’d rather a slow burn than to be blazing a fire, only to burn out…

Yes, you can’t just post once a month and think that your people will find you- but I also think living online to create that community can easily steal away what’s right in front of you.

It’s important to find a rhythm that feels sustainable and honours your values.

Signed,
A girl that use to avoid social media.

It’s SOOOOO tempting to convince yourself that it’s not worth the headache.

And I don’t judge you if you did.

For the first year and a half of my now 2 year olds life, I avoided including him.

My oldest and I would wait for nap times to have any meaningful kitchen time together.

Frankly, that wasn’t great for our connection since it was “our thing” before the birth of my second.

Not because I didn’t want him to be there, but because it felt overwhelming to manage the emotions, tasks and the mess.

But I realized that wasn’t really fair to anyone.

Also, it defeated the whole purpose behind why I wanted to get my kids in the kitchen in the first place.

It’s not easy at first, but we’re all learning how to work together so that we can honour skills that will last us a lifetime.

Don’t give up Mama, this photo wasn’t the full truth ♥️

My grocery list rarely changes.

We’re a family of 4 and we do Costco bi-weekly, and do a produce run on alternate weeks. I know Costco has produce, but I feel like the sizes are too big for us to get through before it spoils (and the organic options are limited).

So Costco for us is mostly eggs, butter, milk, flour and then a lot of pantry staples.

When I first started going (before kids) our bill was always huge because the snack aisles are pretty impressive…

But, I rather spend less to have ingredients on hand to make snacks.

For us, it’s been super worth it!
