Just say F it




Let me share a story.
Brinley was 1 and we were going apply picking. My Mom had just knit Brin and I matching sweaters, at my request.
Dressed in these matching sweaters, jeans and turquoise rubber boots we headed out for our family adventure.


Can you see where this is going?
We got out of the car at the same time as 2 random females strangers did and I overheard the following comments.

“Wow, they are in matching outfits” (certainly not said in a cute or excited tone)
“Why would you want to do that?!” (In a confused and disgusted tone)
And those two comments right there ended our Mommy and Me outfits…. until I met Emily King.
She introduced me to fuck it lists.
She inspired me to make lists of things I don’t do or I’m ashamed of doing simply because of others opinions, which also reminds me of this quote from Rachel Hollis:

“Others people’s opinions of you are none of your business”
~Rachel Hollis

At first I put a couple things on this list at my session with Emily, things like
  • Hiding my personal development work
  • Taking running selfies
  • Taking time to write blog posts

We had to say out loud three things we were going to say Fuck it to. It wasn't until I got home that I decided my Mommy and Me outfits were one of those things too. Why should I let the opinion of strangers, or even people closer to me, decide what I can do, why should I give them that power over my life?

I have to say, there is something powerful about saying F it to something out loud. I encourage everyone to try it! But I will warn you, it can become addicting.

So in conclusion, I give to you this photo montage of me and my mini me dressed alike and not giving an F what you think.

Don't worry, these aren't the last of them. More mommy and me outfits are on their way!

So I ask you, if you were to put three things on your fuck it list today, what would they be?

8 Days of Thanksgiving with Kids

I love Thanksgiving. I love the weather, I love the food, and I love the time with family with no expectation of gifts. I have recently felt that Thanksgiving is becoming more and more about meals, the big dinner, and decorations and less about reflecting on what we have. I personally feel we are losing the part about recognizing how blessed we are and how thankful we should be for what and who we have in our lives. This year I want to start a tradition with the kids that allow them to show thanks for the many things they have to be thankful for. So Starting October 1st the kids and I will be recognizing our thankfulness everyday until Thanksgiving. Here is our plan: Day 1: Thankful for Toys We have a lot of toys, many that the kids do not play with nearly as much as they should. So, I could get them to go through their toys and choose some to donate, but our elf Hermie generally asks them to do that. So for them to demonstrate that they are thankful for their toys I am going...

11 Local Gift Ideas for Mom this Year

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and as a graphic circulating social media reminded me, there are no daycare and school crafts coming home this year. With our new social distancing regulations, many people, me included, don't want to go into a store "shopping" for a gift idea, and we shouldn't. So I searched for some ideas that would work within the current regulations, while also supporting some local business who are catering to this ever changing situation. In no particular order, here are my current Mother's day suggestions. Adult beverages delivered to her home Harvest wines and Lake City Cider both delivery locally and have some really good options for the Mom in your life.

March Break Staycation with Social Distancing

This March break is certainly stacking up to be significantly different from those in the past. Plans are changing by the hour and we are doing our best to not panic, keep breathing, and go with the flow as much as we can. Yesterday when I made the final decision to cancel our trip to Ottawa, I started to plan a staycation that would limit our social interaction with groups. So here is my current plan on how I am going to spend March Break with my kids. We s tocked up on dollar store craft kits. I am pretty sure we bought every craft kit that they had that was age appropriate for a 4 and 6 year old. I am going to finally sign up for Disney + and start getting them ready for what I hope to be their big March break trip next year. We are going to create and follow a routine as much as we can. My kids do best when there is a routine and they can predict what is coming next. Daily Routine Wake Up: Breakfast, Dressed, down time.  Structured Activity: ...
