This is not a post you want to think about but a post that’s here if you need it. I wish I had this to read when my Mom passed away unexpectedly. I was so lost and didn’t know what to do. One of the last things you want to think of when you lose a parent is all the stuff that needs to be handled quickly. It’s extremely hard to think about when you’re grieving.

I know, self care is a total buzzword these days. You can’t turn on daytime TV or log on to social media without someone talking about self care and why it’s important. But I want to get past the pseudo-psychology and new age BS and talk about what it really means to me. Self care is really about taking even the smallest amount of time out of your day and devoting it entirely to yourself. No kids. No husband. No work. No chores. Just time for you. It’s a time when being 100% selfish is 100% the right thing to do. It’s not always easy, but the more you practice it, the better you’ll get. And I really think that taking care of others becomes easier and more effective when you can take care of yourself first.

But if there’s no chance of her coming to redo your house just because you don’t happen to live in the college town of Waco, Texas, then a stay at one of their houses from the show is the next best thing. A lot of their homes are available on Airbnb. The famous shotgun house could be yours, along with a lot of other favorites. We chose the Matsumoto house that just went online for booking because we were

If my child wants to be a butterfly for the day, then I say, “sure… why not”. Part of growing up is letting them express themselves and gain new experiences. Every kid expresses themselves differently. The challenge is learning to help them along the way and trying not to limit their imagination or experiences. Let them wear wings, a cape or pajamas to the grocery store. It doesn’t hurt anyone, and they love it. I treasure those moments and they go away as fast as they grow up.
Summer has gone by so fast that I didn’t realize school was already starting. To me, that means time to make school lunches again. Do you have a picky eater or a kid who doesn’t like the food from the school cafeteria? Do you need a creative outlet or a way to get your kids to eat their lunch? I started making Emma’s school lunches in Kindergarten to make sure she would eat but also so she would have something to look forward to every day since she was a little scared to start a new school. I would think of fun ways to make her ordinary lunch a fun surprise. It eventually became a tradition to make her lunch every day and she never knows what’s in it. I’m in my 3rd year making her lunches and wanted to share some fun ideas. You’ll either hate me or love me for these easy-to-make school lunches. But first, let’s start with snacks!
