I have a daughter. That is all. #honestandunbiasedblog #girls #maskup #chicagomom https://www.instagram.com/p/CN6In75p0hB/?igshid=3y6xjybcuojj

Being a better mom today, than I was yesterday. I judge myself on intentionality and how I spend my time. I went out of my way to find the strawberries to then spend more time making crepes for my eldest. It’s more labor intensive than a bowl cereal (that we’ll have tomorrow) but a joyous time at breakfast is where I find peace. Then we go on with our day. And take literally 3 minutes to paint this girls nails. So many things we pass up because of schedules and time. I think I’m plenty happy spending my time with these guys. Only a few more years and they leave the nest. #honestandunbiasedblog #chicagomom #crepes #intentionalbreakfast https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYAHEzpaAK/?igshid=1n5s637fgufxe

The kids on fb saw this so I thought I’d share here. @sparrow_and_manna is my tiny company that I started about 10 years ago. With the mask sales and some of the tumbler sales getting going, it seemed like a good idea to just start up again. Slowly. I’m excited and looking forward to the next season of life. Thanks for your support. #honestandunbiasedblog #homeschoolmom #chicagomom #smallbiz https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2YIoBpPyt/?igshid=165pk37qnq0v1

The dawn broke, sunny blue skies to the east. Yet an interesting cloud pattern quickly moving in from the West. By 10 am, we enjoyed a full white out blizzard that lasted allll day. It didn’t stop the friends and family of this lovely mom to be from coming out in their spring finest to celebrate the soon to be birth of a blessed baby. Flavors of Strawberry Lemonade and Vanilla Passionfruit. - - - #babyshower #chicagomom #babyshowercake #beehivecake #rosettescake #yellow #bees #sugarflowers #chicagoparty #chicagocustomcake #chicagopastrychef #saraneckibroscatering #babushkabakery https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzVlpQHsd8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h39hyqan563h

Tuesday’s Tip: Upcycling Occasionally I chew gum. My preferred gym comes in a plastic box. I like that the gum stays protect against the dangers in my purse, like lego figure and hot wheels cars. . The box is really sturdy so it definitely has life beyond holding gum. . Rather than putting it in the recycle bin I figured I’d give it New life by upcycling it. . Between both tiny humans having late fall birthday and Christmas right after we have lots of gift cards. . Too many to be able to put into my wallet. . This box was just the perfect size for all the gift cards. Which is perfect I put a little list of all the gift cards I have at the front so I know what’s in there. . What hav you up-cycled lately? . . . . #sharpplant #upcycle #extragum #momlife #giftcards #thinkoutsidethebox #momhack #momlife #momblogger #dcmoms #greenmom #chicagomom #midwestmom #calimom #gum #wrigley #upcycled #upcycle
