    • Oh hey my first top knot I’ve ever had 👋🏼! I’ve been sharing my first experience with these new hair extensions in my stories! I’m not going to hide from you all that this isn’t my real hair. It’s fun to try something new in the beauty routine every now and then. I simply chose extensions instead of spending the dough on a cut and color! (Am I right?🤑😅) Who else has always wanted to try extensions?! 🙋🏻‍♀️
    • Got this baby from “the Wal” a week ago and transferred it into my (not) hanging Ikea pot. That makes two real plants now! I want to hang some from the ceiling, but it makes me a little nervous 😬! Still, with all the terrible forest fire smoke, the more air purifiers I can have the better! 😷 What should my next plant be?!
    • What would YOU say are your top 2 ways for self care? ϟ ϟ Besides the occasional therapy shopping, I’ve never really determined a self care ritual for myself until this past car accident 🚗💥. Since it’s covered by insurance, I’ve been getting babysitters and weekly massages 💆🏼 (what?!). ϟ ϟ And it’s had me thinking 🤔 what is self care for me? What could it be? Is it time? Is it physical? Is it mental? ϟ ϟ Here’s what I’m thinking FOR ME right now. Exercise, conscious eating, and a TOTALLY NEW thing: Hair 💁🏻‍♀️ ϟ ϟ Hair is not my thing. I love “people’s” hair, but have always been disappointed in my hair. BARBIE has more hair thickness than I do!! So I did something kinda crazy. I ordered my first clip in hair extensions from @barefootblondehair and I’m reading all about how to get my dry and limp hair healthy and beautiful! I’ll be filling you in on this adventure as it goes! ϟ ϟ What are YOUR HAIR TIPS? Fill me in below!!
    • Can I be honest with you? ϟ ϟ When I nannied for a living, I seemed to always start chickening out of jobs when the kids were around the age of 2.5. It’s a HARD age for me. Now that I have my own 2.5 y.o (and teething 1 y.o.). I’m having to learn to take on my stresses head on. ϟ ϟ I’m considering my battles: “Don’t jump in the guest bed!”.... “You know what buddy. I’m sorry, it won’t hurt anything. Jump super high and I’ll take a picture!” ϟ ϟ I’m trying to rejoice greatly in the joys and triumphs: Babies giving hugs. Laying on our tummies reading books. ϟ ϟ Sometimes I’m just holding back my I-want-to-cry-about-everything-I-love-them-so-much-it-hurts-though-they-drive-me-crazy-tears. ϟ ϟ I’m praying for help and wisdom and I’m always hanging on the clock for daddy to come home by the end of the day. ϟ ϟ I don’t have it all figured out. And I’m thankful for my supportive and real mamas out there! Feel free to share your struggles or encouragement below and we can support one another 💛💛💛
    • Tell me, where could you use better storage in your house? ϟ ϟ Is the entry way a constant drop center for shoe and purse piles? ϟ ϟ Ours was until I found these cute and functional systems. See the setup for our rental ranch house on Petitemodernlife.com today! ϟ ϟ If you’re new around here, you’ll also find a quick summary of how the heck we got to this place and what the new build plan is! Direct link will be in my profile.
    • Anyone else heading into Monday a little dazed and without a much needed agenda for the week?! 😅🙋🏼‍♀️ Time to get off my phone and make my action plan for the week 😆. #moosegrimstad #fawndesign #ikeatrofast #ikeastorage #australianshepherd #blacktriaussie #diaperbagbackpack
