Excited to share a simple parenting hack that save

Excited to share a simple parenting hack that saves my sanity and patience almost daily!!! 💀🤍Here are 3 phrases or responses to stick to when the kids need a little reminder, redirection, or defusing:⁠
1. Oops. Try again! (A good response when their words aren't kind or productive, or they kick their shoes off in the middle of the room instead of in the shoe bin 😝.)⁠
2. Let me know if you need help/ideas. (When they're frustrated and throwing a fit and your tendency is to jump in and fix the problem... this phrase is a good reminder to play the supporting roll so they can play the lead roll as problem solver!)⁠
3. That's a bummer. (For when the wambulance has arrived. Let them know you see/hear them and then follow up with questionsask what they want to do about it!) ⁠
4. BONUS: Give them a long hug. (Sometimes just a little connection and affection is all it takes to turn things around.)⁠
xoxo

Turns out the kids weren’t as excited about having a productive Monday as I was so my day felt a lot like I spent it herding cats, BUT I did manage (💁🏽‍♀️heyyyy) to do a little shopping and found some cute graphic tees I think you’ll like (including the one I’m wearing which is on sale). Link in bio!

SAY CREPES! 🥞🤍 From the first day of spring break when my only agenda was to avoid cooking and their only agenda was to have sleepovers with friends. Feeling mostly ready to be back in the kitchen and on a schedule this week... shared our meal plan in stories if you like that kinda stuff!

ZOOM IN ON THOSE CHICKS 🐣🐥 We're soaking up the last day of spring break at the beach (YAY!), but there's a few new posts up on the blog if you're enjoying a slow Sunday and could use some easy reads... A roundup of our favorite parenting books, a save or splurge (new series!), and an intro to the chicks. 💛 xo

Sooooo bills are washed, the laundry is paid, the clothes are in the oven, and the last load of dinner is in the dryer... who says I can't multitask? (Spoiler alert, EVERYONE!) 😝 Cheers! We're over the hump!
