This is normal to happen in families, especially if a parent is moving through their career and aiming to the next big position to help their family. This also can be expected for them to uproot everyone as well, however the result of moves can leave a lasting negative effect on everyone involved. Below are a few tips to help your child cope when it comes to moving, even if it might just be a few miles down the road. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><a name='more'></a><span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="white-space: pre;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-44706727-7fff-2f47-9815-45a90f79c009"><ol style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Getting Rid of Items They Don’t Need: </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One way your child can help in the moving process is getting rid of any items they don’t wear, use or play with anymore. Put in two boxes for them to go through themselves. One box can be for donating and another box can be for keeping. Have them pick out at least 10 items for each box. They can even visit the charity or donation location so they know exactly where their old items will be dropped off. I like to tell my kids that one man’s junk can be another person’s new favorite treasure. </span></span></p></li></ol><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><ol start="2" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Point Out The Positive:</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Children focus on the negatives and losses when it comes to moving. They are in the middle of leaving their routine, sense of belonging, neighbor, and above all, close friends they’ve made. Helping your child empathize with the positive effect of their new home, this can assist them in seeing the good in their new adventure. It’s an opportunity for them to get to know a new city or state. It’s also a chance to make new friends. Let them know that the family will benefit from moving everyone because this is something they might be more unsure about. Encourage them to share their feelings about what’s happening too and that it’s normal to feel the pull and push of these emotions. </span></span></p></li></ol><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><ol start="3" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Connect With Old Community:</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Once your move officially happens and you are learning to get settled in your new area, encourage your child to write emails, letters, or make phone calls to their old friends. Let your child know that even though you have moved, they do not have to break those ties that have been so important to them. You can even throw a small goodbye party, take pictures and be sure to try and schedule a time to visit again if you can. </span></span></p></li></ol><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /></span><ol start="4" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Read Novels:</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Depending on how old your child is, they might not understand what moving is or has to deal with. Reading a book can help bring that to life and be able to help them ask questions if they have it. There are several uplifting books to help discuss what will happen when the big moving day occurs so they aren’t scared, nervous, or anxious about it. One of our favorites to read is called “The Berenstain Bear’s Moving Day because it helps discuss the tribulations and trials of moving, preparing to relocate, and showcases the same feelings your children might be feeling without realizing it. </span></span></p></li></ol><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><ol start="5" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hiring The Professionals:</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> If the move is too much for your family to try and pack by yourself, save the frustration and hire professionals to help with the heavy load. Of course, when it comes to hiring a company you only want the best in the Houston area so be sure to call a trusted company such as</span><a href="https://247logisticservices.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> 24/7 Logistic Services</span></a><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Depending on how old your children are, they might grieve, have no idea what’s happening, or just be excited about a new adventure in a new state. Be as open-minded, honest, and empathetic towards how everyone is feeling. Hope these few tips help your move be an easy transition.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My favorite person in the entire world turned another thirty something this week. Matt is totally aging backwards, right? I'm convinced he's found some secret youth fountain and well... your girl ain't mad about it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know, the world still seems at a stand still, uncertain but that doesn't take away that this hunk is all too deserving of a little surprise in his life. Thirteen is the number of birthday's I've been lucky enough to be apart of, surprising him.. zip, zero, nada. This year, I knew we couldn't celebrate the way we had hoped but still wanted to make him feel special and loved, because freakin' he is! Knowing, Matt would be at work for the day.. the kiddos and I planned a low key fiesta dinner in his honor! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whipping up all the fixin's. Homemade tacos, quesadillas, empanadas (ok, those were pre-made), chips and dip, all the good stuff! Together, we made brownies instead of cupcakes and somehow pulled off hiding a cheesecake sampler in lieu of his cake. We did pretty dang good, pulling this off! And to be completely honest, it feels really rewarding getting creative, making just about everything ourselves! Can you even believe the kiddo's and I pulled this off without a hitch and for less then $100 bucks without stepping food into a store. Thank you mucho, Amazon, Aldi + Target drive up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wholeheartedly believe, every journey truly begins with a single step. One small uncomfortable step forward, a small change of mindset. <i>Click</i>. In turn, it may take you places you would have not considered. Perhaps, for a more richer more meaningful life? More purpose?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">These last eight+ months have been one hell of a ride, to say the least. One, that did not come without growing pains, mom guilt, frustration and tears. A true roller coaster of emotions, a ride that never seemed to stop. Twist after twist. Each painful uncomfortable twist leading us ironically, right where we’re meant to be. A place we didn’t expect. Only a few knew, some guessed, others left curious.. wondering, what the heck has been going on with this girl (I can only assume). Well, the truth behind the last half of the year is..</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Matt, had been interviewing for a new position within the government. A position that would require a few moves for our family. As a result, we thought the best place to be was, together. So, without hesitation, we listed our house and started to plan our next steps. We made the shocking decision to become full time RVers. Yep. You hundred percent read that right. We had our RV picked out, design plans ready and starting the process of downsizing however</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">, the universe had other plans for our family. In short though, that unfortunately, was taken off the table and things yet again, were completely thrown up in the air.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Let’s rewind a bit, yes, it has only been two (seemly long) years since we built our current house. When we listed our first house in 2017, our initial plan was to move into a townhouse or an apartment as sort of a reset. We did not think of buying again let alone build again. Matt and I stumbled across some model homes in our area and </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">upon entering, we were absolutely smitten by the model home. It wooed us with its enticing large foyer. The thought of a playroom, which would house all the toys. Our children could enjoy and spend time in, their very own space. The vision of a dreamy farmhouse custom white kitchen. The beautiful woodsy view. This house had everything we </span></span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">thought </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">we wanted and it filled our ego, all the way up. It was a great daydream but sadly, It fueled the cycle of always wanting </span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">more</i><span style="background-color: white;"><i style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">when we should have taken the opportunity to step back.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
</span></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It wasn’t long after we moved before having a larger home with basically no outdoor space began to take its toll on me. I felt a lot of guilt because, I should feel full and happy, right? How could I be unhappy with this beautiful home? I should be enjoying all that this house offers. But instead, I felt the opposite. Like, we had over extended ourselves both financially and with maintenance. I quickly started to drown in our own chaos and material things. I just couldn't seem to keep up. The house started to suck all my energy, time and money. I truly thought this was everything we wanted, it was what we worked hard for, another check off the check list. Becoming more successful meant we should live and spend accordingly, right? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">After, Matt begun with the interviewing process, we slowly started stripping away distorted mindsets and the thoughts of other opinions. We finally starting focusing on what was most important to us and work towards a life we wanted. *Insert debt free journey + minimalism* To me, over a short period of time.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
</span></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<b style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">The American dream was no larger a big fancy house, it was freedom.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white;"></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;">Freedom has many shapes + forms and can mean something </span><span style="color: #222222;">different</span><span style="color: #222222;"> to you. But for us, freedom is being debt free, being able to pay cash for all purchases. It’s not working overtime to make ends meet. Its not being a slave to a large house. It’s being able to say, yes and traveling more. It’s slowing down and savoring the little moments. It’s getting outside to play and make sweet sweet memories. Freedom for us turned out, not to be a RV or a new job after all, to our surprise the universe had other plans for us. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;">Freedom, for us.. ended up being a much smaller house. A 1979 ranch charmer, ironically closer to family, on a half acre! A quaint cozy home with lots of potential with a dreamy pool and one day, chickens. Swoon. It is the life we daydreamed about, served right up to us, unexpectedly. We will be happily, dropping 600+ sq ft, which allows us to focus on what truly matters.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Basically, In the end, our love is much bigger than any house. We decided that all we really need is each other and all we want is a story to tell. So, we’ve traded our big house with an HOA and small yard for a simpler life with less stuff and more adventure. I will be painting, DIYin’ and thrifting my way through this next house. It’s out of my comfort zone, a total challenge but it awakens my soul. I invite you along to for all the before + afters!

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I just don’t feel it in me to “set” new year resolutions this year. Sure, I still plan to continuously work towards aspirations I’ve already set, but I want to switch it up a bit. I want to slow down and savor all the goodness in my days to come. Heard of “one word resolutions”? Well, I’m freakin’ here for it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For 2020 I choose the word intentional.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">⠀</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I want to be more intentional with the relationships in my life, with my children, what I spend time on, what I purchase, the food I consume, and my screen time. I want to be present in the moment, fully emerged. I want to be intentional with my actions, not distracted. Making the conscience effort to slow down. Nourishing and savoring the minutes of the days instead of rushing through them. So for instance.. kind of like, when my grandparents used to tell me “to slow down and smell the roses.” But, actually do it.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> Here are 10 simple ways i'm living 2020 with more intention!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Stop multitasking </span></b></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is a tough one. I feel like we live in a generation of multi-tasking. Try single tasking, focus your energy on one thing at a time. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Value your time</span></b></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you don't value your time, neither will others. Stop giving away your time and talents. Valuing your time helps you become more productive and effective without the burn out. Time blocking or choosing your top five "to dos" for the day are all great ways of valuing your time, staying focused and finishing in a timely manner. So, ultimately you can put your energy towards other important things.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Declutter your space</span></b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Clutter is a direct tigger of stress and anxiety. If you've got items in your home not being used, expired or items you've out grown, then you NEED to spend time decluttering. Your home is your safe space to land, if it is being overtaken by "stuff" then it is 100% clouding your mind and adding unnecessary stress. Spend 5-15 minutes a day decluttering and organizing your home. Eventually, there will be less to clean, less to tidy, so you can spend more on time what really matters to you.</span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Stretch </span></b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">More stretching, less stressing. Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy. It is also linked to better mood, clarity, even </span>reduced <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">anxiety and stress. Bonus, stretching just feels freakin' GOOD. </span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This can mean many things but i'm talking about slowing your roll and being present in the moments, savoring it all in. Listen more, instead of talking. Put your phone on silent or even better don't have it out while you play with your kids, while you're at dinner, or with a friend. Have more meaningful deep conversations but ALL IN. Time slips by so fast, don't be distracted. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Practice gratitude + goal setting </span></b></span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Practicing this is so important! A real game changer, girl. Stop complaining, just stop it and appreciate how lucky you are every. single. day. Once you focus on what you're already blessed to have.. amazing things happen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Spend less time on your social accounts, especially be more aware of your mindless scrolling. Set boundaries for yourself + protect your peace. The comparison game can kill your vibe. Limit your scroll and do yourself a favor, unfollow accounts that no longer bring you peace + joy and follow accounts that inspire you. </span></span><br />

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Be intentional with your money. You worked hard for it.

Meaning, everything you own, you worked for + will create work for you and you paid for it. Ouch.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Most people simply do not eat enough clean foods especially, when most meals come with a meat + a carb. Not to mention, all the processed foods, soda and caffeine. Nourish and treat your body to fresh fruits and vegetables more often. Get creative with it. Adding more and more over time, It will thank you later. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sorry to be the one to break it to ya sis, but being busy is a choice. Take a close look at your calendar and remove things that no longer serve you. You control what you allow into your schedule. Simplify it. Learn to say no to things that fill your schedule but do not bring you happiness. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">k, maybe you read, "I only spent $200 on a party" and rolled your eyes. Maybe that's what YOU usually spend. Maybe you spend even less (props to you, sis!). Maybe throwing birthday parties just ain't ya thing or maybe you opt for a day of fun instead.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Me? I freaking love hosting. In a past life.. I totally was some type of party planner. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm one of those "moms" that love to throw lavish birthday parties for my children.. you know the ones with the themed food, bounce houses, face painters, large unnecessary fondant cakes, balloons on balloons on balloons. Catching my flow here? I easily spend $800+ on a single birthday party. I tend to usually spend $125-$200 on just a cake alone. I KNOW. Go ahead and pick that mouth up off the floor. Especially in December. OUCH! All of it's fun but lets be real here..a lot of it unnecessary.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When we started our budget and journey into minimalism in June, we thought throwing Harper a party was out of reach. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The month of December is easily our most expensive...</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> how in the heck are we going to pull off a party for her + pay for all the holiday season brings with only cash? But this year Matt and I, decided we needed to narrow in on quality over quantity. We simply can't DO ALL THE THINGS this year (and by the way, that's totally OK). So, we figured out what was most important and let the rest go. We decided to go ahead with a party to celebrate our girl turning S I X! But we set a $200 budget for the entire party and everything for the party was purchased from Amazon + Dollar Tree.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This year we went with a Publix cake. I knew they're known for their delicious cakes but I was not aware, that they've come a long way with cake designs! They made this crowd pleasing pink ombre' cake with chocolate candy balls for only $24.99! While we were ordering the cake we add a dozen plain cupcakes. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Harper and I decorated them ourselves with Scooby Doo treats and rose gold sprinkles! She totally got a kick out of decorating her own cupcakes. Publix did not have our cupcake order ready when we went to grab our cake, so we actually got our cupcakes for free! WIN!</span><br />

We were able to make her puppy themed paw-ty a reality and I'm pretty dang proud of myself for sticking to our $200 budget! Who knew, with some thought, The Dollar Tree and Amazon could make all our party dreams come true. </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First and foremost, I feel like the word minimalist is still fairly unknown. What the heck is a minimalist, anyway? Well.. It can mean many things.. I personally define it as someone who chooses to be intentional with what they allow in their life. Simply put, the purpose of a minimalist life is to have more of what really matters to you and less of the crap that doesn't. And i'm not just talking clutter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been "wanty" for as long as I can remember. I grew up envious and materialistic. I always wanted the next best thing. Never slowing down to stop + look around and take in what I was already blessed with. Basically, about as far from a minimalist as you can get, you'd find me. So, If you have known me in anyway then watching us practice minimalism might have thrown you for a complete loop or at the very least produced a nasty side eye.. The idea of CHOOSING to live with less was foreign to me but that is just it. Matt and I are CHOOSING this lifestyle, choosing a slower paced life, choosing what is really worth our energy, </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">we by no means HAVE to. I think the "want to" vs the "have too" is important. We want a more simple life with less stuff. We want more adventure + freedom and we want to use our money in a more intentional way.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I feel we've always had it in our hearts to live more simply but we've always brushed it off and kept checking that check list.. oh you know, the one society pushes down our throats. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Matt and I got our first apartment, check. Got a bigger apartment, check. Got married, check. Had a baby, check. Traveled, check. Built a house, check. Had another baby, check. Built a bigger house, check, check, check. Anyone else tired of feeling like you're just living for an imaginary check list and not <i>actually </i>living?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you asked us today what has been our favorite place we've lived.. Matt and I, would both reply with our first apartment. It was tiny, older and we had no idea what we were doing. We had a hand-me- down couch, bed set and barely anything else. But that apartment felt like home. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It had a small porch enough for two chairs with french doors and it was perfect. It wasn't the water view, 80's kitchen, hand-me-downs or the size of the space that made it so dear to our hearts it was the feeling of peace. The simplicity. That apartment had everything we needed and nothing we didn't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A year ago, Matt and I, challenged ourselves to a spending freeze..an entire month of not spending a dime outside of necessities. Looking back, I think we were begging/looking for a way to change our ways but didn't know how. That spending freeze was </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">hard. REAL hard. Maybe because it was 100 to 0 or maybe our </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">mindset</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> or maybe it felt like </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">deprivation. But it turned us off to any sort of budget or restriction. Which in turn kept us </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> repeating this cycle we really didn't want to be on. We needed to get on a budget, change our mindset and take control. Because we were drowning in our own chaos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Six months ago was our turning point. Matt and I were at our wits end and we finally got on a realistic budget. We sat down together and actually looked at where our money, time and energy was going. Since June, we've only used cash, paid off some debts and listed our house. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Just the beginning of our journey into more intentional living and i'm so glad I can take you along for the ride.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This has been a painful journey of personal growth along with unlearning a lifetime of beliefs and lies I've tricked myself into thinking to be true. In all honesty, I</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> feel a deep sense of freedom + ease, even reduced anxiety having let those feelings go. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I feel like i'm FINALLY speaking my truth. T</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">he debt, the loans, the tiny apartment, all the cars, the very large closet. A life that always looked good on the outside but felt overwhelming on the inside. I finally stumbled upon a path that feels right. Minimalism. H</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ere i am, proof that change is possible. I</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">s it easy? It sure has heck SUCKS at times but the cost of your new life is your old one, sis.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This year, I wanted to switch it up a bit and do something we've never done before. I had the pleasure to do a collaboration with a long time friend and talented photographer here in the Orlando area. If you follow me on my social accounts then you might of caught a glimpse into our Milk and Cookie Christmas Pictures with Photography by Lena. On the day of the shoot I shared behind the scenes snippets and even a few preview teasers but the wait is over, I'm sharing all of them here! And let me tell you.. they do NOT disappoint!</span></span></div>

The photo session was held in a STUNNING historic building in downtown Sanford, Florida. The red brick building was filled with floor to ceiling vintage charm. I was completely blown away upon entering the building. Gorgeous. Then once we entered the photo studio I was taken back yet, again. It was private, welcoming, bright, airy and most importantly comfortable. Lena did such a wonderful set up. SO MANY LITTLE DETAILS. Hands down the best Christmas mini session I've seen this year. From the multi colored pallet wood wall, garland touches and the milk on the night stand. So much thought was put into this. The kiddos favorite part? No brainier, the fresh baked cookies!</div>

Black Friday isn’t just the day after Thanksgiving anymore... it’s morphed into more of a Black Friday week.

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span class="s2" style="color: #454545;">Many people will opt to shop from home. However, if you’re like me.. I like to head straight into the thick of things. For me, Black Friday shopping has become more tradition then anything else. I love scrolling through the ads, planning which stores we’re going to hit up first, the excitement, the high of saving and if we’re lucky.. scoring a must have item. All of it. </span></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #454545;">The last few years my husband and I have turned Black Friday into a fun date night.

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #454545;">To help you better prepare for your shopping trip, I’m sharing some things with you that I've learned along the way!</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: #e06666;">HAVE A LIST</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p3" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s2" face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">I’m a natural born list maker. List's are my jam. Gather up a list of items you think your kids, spouse, parents or whomever you’re shopping for will love/want. After you’ve gathered a list then time to check the ads! See anything on their list that’s on sale? Mark it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="p3" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s2" face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Luckily for us stores put their ads out in advance. This gives us plenty of time to price compare. This also gives you a glimpse into what is going to be on sale + doorbusters. To keep it simple, I usually just circle the items we want to grab in the ad booklet and bring it with us.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s2" face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Now that you have a list (or a few), compared prices now it's time to get it together and make a plan.What stores are you going to hit up first?

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi, babes! As you may have seen over on Instagram. We spent the week up in the mountains. We spent most of our days outside exploring, chasing the best next view. The kids rode golf carts, climbed huuuge rocks, saw incredible mountain views and we made some cherish-able family memories. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been coming to to this area since I was old enough to travel. Over time this area has become one of my favorite places to escape too. It just tugs at my heart. There is truly something special about these small towns and what they have to offer. Maybe the simplicity? There was no WIFI or cell service at my grandmother's house so, it was refreshing to be disconnected from the outside world and unplug for a bit. Heres a glimpse into our week..</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The reason we come up north every year. Welll... not the only but maybe the main reason. My entire family loves this festival. We've been coming to it almost every year since I was a kid and my family maybe even before that. It's kind-of become our yearly thing! It fills my cup up watching my kiddos enjoy it as much as we do! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was a cloudy day but the views still speak for themselves. Pretty Place is one of the most peaceful places I've ever been too. These photos absolutely do not do it any justice. If you ever catch yourself in the area of Caesar's Head, I would highly highly recommend. On the way up you catch stunning views, a few pull over look outs and Pretty Place. I mean just check out these photos! </span></div>

<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Here is basically how I make my chili</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<ul class="ul1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<li><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First melt butter + garlic on a non-stick pan, add meat of choice. Sprinkle with salt + pepper. Brown the meat, drain.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #454545;">I cheat and tend to use a chili seasoning packet. Before putting the meat into the crockpot pour seasoning on meat of choice, add in tomato paste and stir - bring to a light boil. Then</span> empty into the crockpot.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then gather and dump all the other ingredients into the crockpot on top of the meat with 1/4 a can of bone broth or water then stir together. EASY PEASY.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let it cook for eight hours on low or four hours on high. I personally prefer low. To me, it makes the chili much more flavorful as the meat soaks up the good juices from the sauce.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the right amount of hours have past, turn to warm. Serve chili solo or serve with cornbread for more heartiness. Then add your toppings of choice! I sprinkle cheddar cheese over the chili then top with sour cream (or Greek yogurt) + Guac. Delish! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm not sure about you but Fall is my absolute favorite season of the year. Hands down. Unfortunately, here in Florida we don't get to experience the full effect of what Fall has to offer but that doesn't mean we aren't pretending. I cannot seem to get enough of the smell of pumpkins, apples and spice in the air. I love fall fashion.. boots, layering clothes and trendy hats. All of it. But most of all I love bringing fall into my home.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">There is just something cozy + inviting about Fall. Pumpkin cold brew, delicious homemade chili and football really bring families together. Fall is a vibe. Am I right? </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All of the local stores are pretty much flooded with Fall and Halloween items. It's easy to overspend and get overwhelmed. But before you let your excitement get the best of you.. go home and pull out + go through what you already have. You might be surprised.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I've narrowed down my favorite two stores to grab Fall items at. Target and The Dollar Store. Target for obvious reasons has an amazing selection of trendy affordable decor pieces. They also have a rockin' dollar spot. I just saw adorable multi sized velvet pumpkins for $3-5! You bet I grabbed a few of those cuties.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Dollar Store is my jam. Especially, since we've been on a budget since June. Believe it or not, they have a great selection of Fall/Football/Halloween items! The Dollar Store is also where I grab themed holiday plates, cups and napkins. A perfect inexpensive touch for the week of.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, thankful for my little helper! Camden is pretty much a pro by now. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to our home. It has been an adjustment over the years adding toddlers to the mix. My kiddos get really excited about the holidays. I mean who doesn't? I don't want to take any of that away from them. It is absolute pure joy seeing their faces light up when I pull down the next hoilday box. Both of my children love to go through the boxes + help decorate. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, with clenched teeth and a smile on my face..I allow them to go through all of the items. Throw out ideas on where they think pumpkins should go around the house. I want them to feel included and enjoy the season as much as we do. Even if that means relocating items later. (wink wink)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I have found when redecorating an area, taking everything off the shelves works best. This allows me to deep clean the area and this also gives me a fresh set of eyes on the space and how I want to redecorate it. Ps, This hutch has hands down been the best furniture purchase I've ever made! I love love love this space in our home and decorating it for every hoilday. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our front entry of our foyer gets a little Fall touch as well. I keep this space simple to avoid looking cluttered. This is also when I go through our hand soaps and candles. I throw away any that just don't have much life left and replace with a Fall scent. Pumpkin apple seems to be my favorite right now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now that you've seen a glimpse into our fall decor. Here are some simple tips on decorating your space. I have found over the years, less is more when it comes to decorating. I feel that adding just enough touches of Fall make the space feel cozy not cluttered.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't go overboard or overspend. The holidays are about being together. Spend your money on other things. Splurge only on must have items. You'll know em' when you see em'. You can get decor pumpkins and signs anywhere, they do not have to cost a lot. Like I said before, The Dollar Store + Target are my go to's. TJ Maxx, Homegoods and Hobby Lobby are also inexpensive and have great selections. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Remember to, swallow that pride and let go a bit. Let the kiddos help! You can always redo or relocate items later. Just make them feel included. And don't forget everything is about balance. Make sure your space its balanced. As for a timeline of decor through the hoilday season.. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I tend to decorate for Fall in the beginning of September, then October throw in Halloween decor items into the mix and then back to Fall in November.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Yassss, this free spirited freedom junkie mama has a school routine. As much as I crave freedom and flexibility, I need to have some structure. Why? Well obviously, without structure especially with small children.. it will be pure pulling out your hair send me to the looney house chaos. And lets be real.. If you do not have some type of routine then you are wasting valuable time. You've got a full plate mama.. why waste any time?</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Routines have become my saving grace. As someone who struggles with anxiety, this is one way to help keep it at bay. To feel like I run the day instead of letting the day run me. We're almost a month into school, so I thought I'd share our school routine and what works for our family. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">School Nights</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I start dinner around 5pm and bedtime is 8pm.</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Eat dinner together.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Bath, brush teeth, jammies and any other grooming.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Pick up house, settle down, turn on a movie or show depending on time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Potty, Read book, Tuck in's.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Pack lunches for the next day.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Get backpack ready.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">School Mornings</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I wake up at 6am before anyone in my house. This is my me time. I enjoy my freaking coffee HOT, practice gratitude, goal setting and have a level head before anyone wakes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Wake up kiddos.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Eat breakfast. </span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Off to school!</span></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I feel like the biggest, most impactful change for us has been me and how I do things. Figuring out how to make your own life easier is key. The reality is.. kids follow your lead. If you are waking up with them, rushing then mama you are not level headed. You are jumping right into the pit of chaos. You are a thousand percent more likely to forget homework, lunches and be more stressed. </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Before setting a routine, take some time to think about your needs, your kids needs then figure out some sort of timeline. Here are some questions to ask yourself...</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">How can I make my morning easier?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What does my family need? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What does my night routine look like?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">AM I pouring from an empty cup?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Do I or perhaps the kids need more sleep?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now let me ask you a question.. Mama, what do YOU NEED out of your day? </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Finding out what everyone needs are and yes including yours duh! You're a key player here. Will a hundred</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> percent make your day flow easier. As mothers, we have so much on our plates that it can be overwhelming. Making small changes to cater to not only your children needs but yours will make a huge impact on your daily life. Promise. Take it from a free spirited mama who was tired of letting the day run her and got some structure in her damn life!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>

We've learned, having less means actually having more.<br />

Maybe this may shock you, maybe not but Matt and I, have always been hesitant + scared to get on a budget. We work hard, make a descent income together and we thought we would feel restrained/restricted. But the truth is.. we make to much money to not be on a budget. Matt and I, were foolishly throwing thousands of dollars around. Ultimately, slowly getting us back into a little debt and feeling like we were being sucked back into the rat race of life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="Apple-converted-space">So, what the heck did we do about it? First we had a uncomfy discussion and sat down to look over ALL of our expenses, this is something we never did. We simply just paid our bills and moved on (insert face slap emoji). Then we did these steps.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Stop using credit cards</li>
<li>Used cash for everything</li>
<li>Find out where your money is going</li>
<li>Save at lest a 1,000 before anything</li>
<li>Make changes in your lifestyle</li>
<li>Practice goal setting</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="p2">
After having a frustrating conversation with a friend of mine, about how we needed to do something about our lifestyle or budget or money or honestly I did not have a freaking clue....all i knew, is we just needed a change. Our friend, told me about this Blogger/Youtuber Jordan Page and how she applied her budget methods with Dave Ramsey's. I personally didn't care for Dave's envelope thing (thats just to much for this lazy gal.). But i've heard some of Dave's tips and when I got home that night I looked up Jordan Page. (Don't worry ill link some great videos below of hers!)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Jodan Page's method is super simple.</div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<b>70% - 20% - 10% </b></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
70% of your income is what you should be living off of. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p1">
20% Put into your savings.</div>
<div class="p1">
10% Investments + give back. Such as IRA’s, stocks, giving to your church or favorite charity.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Matt and I sat down together and cut what we could and eliminated whatever we needed to get into living within 70% of our take home income. Our savings was already over a thousand so we started using the 30 precent left over towards our debt. Our goal is to not owe anyone anything. To pay cash for everything and make smarter choices financially for our family.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We are used to living off of credit cards. Shitty + embarrassing but never the less true. We would use them as a crutch. We used them for instant gratification. We used them for reward points.. and that is a tricky blurry grey line. We’ve been debt free once but didn’t fix our lifestyle habits. Matt and I have never lived on much of a budget. We did not know where our money was going and we definitely didn’t realize how much we were spending.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> Our bills were always paid, and on time so we just kept swiping away.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
After sitting down and looking at all our bills and seeing where our money was actually going.. we realized we were spending SO MUCH money on FOOD. Food was our problem area. We were spending $1,600 on average a month on groceries, eating out and on Starbucks runs. WHAT? To me thats insane! Jordan Page recommends a family of four should spend $400 a month on groceries. $100 a week. We instantly saved $1,200 a month. That has been our biggest change and it has made the world of difference.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
If you’re anything like me, you’re thinking.. UM NO WAY JOSE’. No way can we live off a $100 a week. I’m here to tell you.. you definitely can! We started using what we already had in our pantry. Which by the way was always slapped full. We started using what we’ve been ignoring in our fridge and freezer. Matt and I started to think in advance and plan our meals.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I switched from Publix to Aldi and shocker even the Dollar store. Did you know the Dollar store has so many name brands in food? I was completely mind blown. We get groceries every Friday and just plan for the week. I don't over think it or over buy. After a few weeks it became so much easier. I also recommend using Instacart. Its saves your recent purchases, which makes it super easy. Ordering groceries online, keeps you on track, you are able to see how much money you are spending before you hit order and the best part.. to shop with no temptations!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
You know.. its funny.. Matt and I were just having a conversation the other day. I said to him. “Its weird, I don’t feel like we’re going without, do you?” And he thought for a second and relied. “Nope!”</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
Having control of where our money is going, being more mindful and making smarter choices has been an eye opening experience. I believe we've both been changed by this budget. We can use our money in smarter ways. Having it work for us rather then against us.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
I'm linking three great videos from Jordan Page below! I hope you take the time to check them out. Creating this lifestyle change has opened up our mind's to so many other possibilities. Matt and I are kind of obsessed to see how much we can cut and how much we can save. We've learned having less means actually having more.</div>

I can hardly believe the day is here. The day we send our first little love to Elementary school. The first time ever she'll be away from us full time. Cue the tears. Kindergarten. I can't even. Time undoubtedly is the real thief. </div>

However, In true real life chaotic fashion, Harper almost had to miss out on the first day. Over the weekend this cutie had an allergic reaction to something which unfortunately caused swelling of her right eye, cheek and wrist and sent this mama into a panic. After 24 hours of contentious swelling and a trip to the Doc our girl woke up this morning on the mend and ready to tackle her first day! I'm not sure that I would be feeling the same if I were her, but Harper is a lot braver than her mama. She is one courageous girl with lots of love in her heart and I'm just so damn thankful the universe choose me to me her mama.</div>

Okayyyy, I'm whipping my tears.. I know you're here for a glimpse into our morning and cute pictures of my gal. I'll admit, I'm def "that mom" I love making a big deal out of everything.

While Harper was finishing up The Descendants 3, her current fav. I whipped up her favorite breakfast items. I asked her in advance what she wanted for breakfast on her first day of school, giving me time to prep and make the morning easier on me. After, I made these super simple food labels out of random things in our home, Told ya.. I'm that mom.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, make sure you get eight hours of sleep. We have to allow our bodies to rest. And yes girl, I have a bedtime. My phone is set to go on do not disturb at 10 pm. That way there are no distractions. I actually take it a step further and really try to make the effort to be off the phone by 8pm, allowing me to fully enjoy a little "me time" after the kids are in bed and before I hit the pillow for the rest of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<span style="color: #ea9999;">6am: Wake up.</span><br />
I wake up before anyone in my house. As hard as it was to get used to this because lets be real.. homegirl, likes her sleep. But I truly enjoy and honestly crave the quite.<br />
<br />
Once I wake up, I head to the bathroom. I wash my face, put on some moisturizer and redo my messy mom bun. A little self care in the morning really does pay off.<br />
<br />
I then head straight to my Keurig and make a cup of coffee. Hot. I ENJOY IT HOT. I'm not sure about you.. but this is a huge win for me.<br />
<br />
While I sip on my hot delicious coffee without interruptions, I journal. I practice gratitude and goal setting and start my day off with purpose. Goal setting is a way to fuel your ambition. It is holding yourself accountable and aim to go after the things we never thought possible. Practicing gratitude is so important babe! When you take the time to reflect on all the things you currently have and are truly thankful for your experiences..things shift. The universe listens. They say people who practice this feel more alive, sleep better, express more compassion, kindness and even have stronger immune systems.. uh what?<br />
<br />
Lastly, before my home wakes.. I just do what feels right. Sometimes I catch the sunrise outside with my dogs. Others, I stretch and do some yoga. Sometimes I just lay back in bed with my husband. This is your free time. You could go for a walk, listen to your favorite podcast, get a few chapters in on your current read, sneak in your favorite tv show. Do whatever it is you feel you need in that moment.<br />
<br />
*On days that I'm in the salon, I then take this time to get ready for work.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;">7am: </span><br />
If Harper is not awake by now.. I go in and wake her up to get ready for the day and school. Feeling refreshed.. this is where we chat about our day, have breakfast together. We are able to really enjoy our morning without the chaos.<br />
<br />
When you set intention to your day. There is no reason to feel overwhelmed or rushed. You will have less anxiety throughout your day and be in a much better mood.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Alone time is when I distance myself from the voices of </span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;">the world </span><span style="color: #ea9999;">so I can hear my own.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;"> -Oprah</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I get it.. the thought of waking up early can turn you off but give it a try! I think you'll be impressed with how smoothly your day goes and bonus the day comes with a great mood. So stop hitting snooze and run the day. Stop letting the day run you.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hey babes! As you may have seen over on Instagram my husband and I got to escape reality for just a bit. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Spending time where the WIFI is weak and the sunshine was strong has been nothing short of pure joy. Truly grateful for these moments with my main man. We’re feeling reconnected and recharged. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Matt and I road tripped it from the Orlando area to South Florida, Key Largo, all the way down to Key West and lastly Miami.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Matt and I spent most of our time at our condo relaxing. We caught sun raises and every sunset. We spent the majority of our days outside with this calming view around, watching all of the wild life flow in from the ocean. We saw and caught plenty of fish, countless lobsters, crabs, a mama and baby manatee, a few sting-rays and even a pretty big shark!</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To me, growing older is something to celebrate not to mourn. I love celebrating this life and all that it has to offer. Cherishing + embracing all the good, bad and ugly that comes along with it. SO, Instead of mourning that my twenties are over, i'm looking forward to my thirties, with an open mind + gratitude. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In my early twenties, I discovered I really enjoyed reading. I fell in love with the feel of paper and the addicting smell of a freshly purchased book. I loved getting lost in stories, escaping life, for just a bit. Back then my books of choice looked a lot different from my current go to's. Maybe because I'm in the era of entering a new decade..Indulging into self growth and gratitude. Whatever the case.. thats the thing I love most about reading.. there is something for everyone. Every season. Every age.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">First and foremost, do you know the author Rachel Hollis? if not, YOU SHOULD. I'm basically obsessed with everything she says.. She's all about breaking common stigmas, stereo types and being the best version of yourself. Basically, Racheal rocks and you should 1000% read her books! The first two books listed are hers.</span></div>
</div>
<i style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></i>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
With painful honesty and fearless humor, Rachel unpacks and examines the falsehoods that once left her feeling overwhelmed and unworthy, and reveals the specific practical strategies that helped her move past them. In the process, she encourages, entertains, and even kicks a little butt, all to convince you to do whatever it takes to get real and become the joyous, confident woman you were meant to be.</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">With unflinching faith and rock-hard tenacity, </span><em style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Girl, Wash Your Face</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> shows you how to live with passion and hustle--and how to give yourself grace without giving up.</span><br />

She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people—whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee—instead of learning how to own who they are and what they want. With a challenge to women everywhere to stop talking themselves out of their dreams, Hollis identifies the excuses to let go of, the behaviors to adopt, and the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and believing in yourself.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>

Bring Sunscreen</span></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">-</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> This may seem like a no brainer to some of us but for those of you who are not on the water enough, this is a mandatory thing to have with you. The sun is so much stronger on the water due to the sun’s reflection so you’ll want to bump up your sunscreen number a few times. I usually love to bring 75 with me which helps ease into the first few summer months. Make sure to reapply if you are going at a peak time during the day, which is usually between the hours of 11-2pm. </span></span></div>

Of course, the charter boats will have these built in with their boat but once you are done with the trip, you’ll want to be able to bring your winning fish home with you! Grab a few extra coolers for the road and you’ll be all set to transport your fish. </span></span></div>

There are actually all sorts of various boats ut there to either just chater you around the area or actually enjoy a day of fishing. If you are in the south Florida location, a great company to help ease your first time fears is called </span><a href="https://www.shakenbaitcharters.com/" style="color: black; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: pre;"><span style="color: #1155cc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shake N Bait Charters</span></a><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">. They are the perfect cruising, fishing and having a great time on the water company that you’ll feel safe, secure and enjoy yourself ( isn’t that the point of the experience!) If you’re uneasy about being on the water, don’t sweat it. They only have a top speed of about 40 miles an hour and a cruising speed of 32 so you’ll still be able to enjoy a decent conversation with your friends while also the luxurious time on the boat. The charter also has a deep freezer and refrigerator for all your fishing needs, four tackle drawers and plenty of space for all your coolers and needs. Additionally, it offers a stateroom which has a stereo, lockers for storing your personal valuables, a headroom for those tall people who are bigger then 6/5 and of course, a television to relax and catch up on “Below Deck”. I think the best part about this particular company is even if you are a bit nervous about fishing, you don’t have to be nervous about what to do once you’ve got the fish. The friendly staff not only help you with getting your fish off the hook but they help filet it and then keep it wrapped up for you so when it’s time to go home, all you need to do is grab your cooler and you’re all set. Amazing!</span></span></span></div>

You DON’T Need a License</span></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> - Where other sports may require a license ( think hunting ) you actually don’t need a fishing license to do this! The charter will cover your license with their fee because the cost is covered in the booking boat. Phew- which actually is a great feature so it’s one less thing you need to worry about bringing or loosing ( just kidding ) and you can enjoy the salty air with your best friends. </span></span><br />

Have Fun </span></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">- Most important thing for you first timers- enjoy yourself, relax and have fun. Easier said than done ( for those that get super motion sickness like myself, you’ll be sure to pack extra motion sickness pills for the rough water ha ) but really, have a good time. It’s not every day you get to enjoy the views from a gorgeous boat, friendly staff and all your friends in one area together. Believe me, once you’ve gotten a taste of charter fishing, this will be something you and your friends will want to continue to do year after year together, for parties, gatherings or just something different during the long weekends in the sun. After all, now you’ll be an experienced boater and can teach other newcomers the easy 101 guide to being on your fist fishing charter. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do you remember a time when you didn’t have any electricity working within your home or work office? Was it difficult to navigate your way around the place? What about cooking? It can be a challenge not to have your microwave, oven or stove not working! Face it, we need help when it comes to electricity but my advice would not be to try and do it yourself if you’ve never tried working with wires before. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; white-space: pre-wrap;">In fact, I have had a few friends share their horror stories of neighbors whose power have gone out and tried to work on a deadline or weren’t able to leave their home because their garage door was shut. There are even scary stories of those forgetful friends who left a curling iron on in the bathroom all day only to get a call from the fire station about a small fire that came from it! IT doesn’t have to be anything big to get you to make sure our electricity and wiring is up to code within the building that you work or your home but it’s better to be safe than sorry don’t you think? </span></div>

Run by Mike Murphy who began this small business in 1998, he also has a team of train technicians who keep it running day in and day out. The friendly staff at American Electric offer a wide range of industrial and residential services to aid you when you need it most. One of my favorite things about this company is that they are available 24/7 to help you so you can get back into your normal routine as soon as possible </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another great reason why American electric should be your go to electrician company is that they offer an amazing military base contracting! They have six military installations in the vicinity of northeast Florida and they specialize in performing electrical work that has those specific needs of military application. They deliver 5 star quality results with their cutting edge technology and applications as well as making sure that they repair and install with only the best of the best licensed electricians out there. They hope to make the work of their military personnel not only safer but easier and more efficient with their service, repairs, upgrades and more! They even deliver high quality electrical contracting to all area local bases including Naval Station in Mayport, Camp Blanding, Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay and Naval Air Station. Don’t be fooled about other companies that say they work on bases but don’t. You can be sure that American Electric in Jacksonville actually holds a DBIDS or Defense Biometric Identification System which is necessary to gain access to all area military bases. These credentials apply to supplies, subcontractors, service providers and vendors who seek bases access to perform Military Electrical Contracting. Again, offering 24/7 full access to all area military bases so you won’t be forced to wait for your electrical contractor to obtain that DBIDS security card. It takes up to 180 days and requires the filing of security forms, background checks and annual renewal to maintain base access. You do not want to risk contracting with a company that puts up a great front but does not pass that required security pass to help you.</span></div>
