Rest is beautiful. Even though this tree has lost Rest is beautiful. Even though this tree has lost her leaves for the year, she is still beautiful. She will rest this winter, and in the spring -- when the time is right -- she will welcome new leaves to help her grow even more. Growing up in Texas, I never quite experienced winter the way I do here in the Midwest. I wonder if I had grown up with seasons, I would be more open to rest. Maybe I wouldn't feel like I have to work constantly to prove my worth? (My husband would ask, "Prove to who?") And he's right. No one puts pressure on me except ME. He asked me not to do any work tomorrow, so I will honor that. May you all have a very happy Gratitude Day, and I'll see you on the flipside. #intentionalmotherhood #thisismotherhood #motherhoodjourney #documentyourdays #ohheymama #our_everyday_moments #parenting #momlife #slowdownmotherhood #joyfulmamas #momsofinstagram #growthmindset #emotionalintelligence #workathomemoms #wahmlife #mompreneurlife
This time last year, I could barely walk. I couldn This time last year, I could barely walk. I couldn't sit, and I rarely slept for more than an hour at a time. . When we look back on this strange year, there will be lots of negatives and (hopefully) a few bright spots. For all that 2020 took away from me, it also gave back my ability to move my body -- thanks to my orthopedic surgeon. . This year, I have walked more miles than ever before. I have seen beautiful things in nature throughout all the seasons. I have held my husband's hand and talked deeply about important things. I am grateful for all of that and more. ❤️
This is one of our favorite sensory bins every yea This is one of our favorite sensory bins every year! My amazing mother-in-law kept most of my husband's childhood toys, and he had a little blue pickup truck AND a dump truck in his collection. I added in some of our Little People farm animals for a perfect sensory + small world play experience. Putting the book nearby makes it easy for kiddos to look over the pages and retell the story through play. #sensoryplayideas #sensorylearning #sensoryactivity #sensoryactivities #sensorybin #invitationtoplay #simpleplay #imaginativeplay #learningthroughplay #playbasedlearning #playtolearn #playbased #playislearning #openendedplay #playingislearning #playmatters #learnandplay #wherelearningmeetsplay #learningisfun #letkidsplay #purposefilledplay #playbased #preschoolplay #preschoolfun #earlyyearsideas #preschoollearning #preschoollife #preKactivities #preKathome #playbasedpreschool
I read this book over the weekend, and this line t I read this book over the weekend, and this line took my breath away: “It took many years for me to see that hope doesn’t take sadness away,” Blue said sincerely. “But hope reminds you there’s something good in spite of the sadness. There’s joy still ahead, still yours for the taking.”

As a Type-A mom, I really thought there was only o As a Type-A mom, I really thought there was only one RIGHT way to homeschool, and hundreds of WRONG ways to do it. It took me several months to figure out that the only wrong way to homeschool my kids was to put their school work ahead of our relationship. They need a teacher, of course -- but they also need their mom. When I work with parents in The Play School Club, I remind them that it's not MY way but THEIR way. What do THEIR kids need? Then, we work backwards to find just the right hands-on lessons, learning through play activities, and fun family moments. #learningathome #homeeducation #learnathome #homeschoollife #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolmoms #homeschoolersofinstagram #homeschoolmama #365homeschool #homeeducator #homeschoolideas #homeschoolblog #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolpreschool #preschoolathome #earlylearning101 #littlelearners #totschool #preschoollife #preKathome #playbasedpreschool #childledlearning #followthechild #letthembelittle #lifewithlittles #intentionalmotherhood #thisismotherhood #motherhoodjourney
