Thought I would share a few things that have caught my eye lately...
So thankful for a normal week! Last week we were in Charlotte due to Hurricane Dorian. We went for Labor Day weekend to visit Theo's cousin and his family and ended up staying all week due to a mandatory evacuation. It was a bit stressful because we didn't know who was going to watch Pixie while we were gone since she couldn't stay at the kennel. We were worried about our house of course and how it would be once we got back into town. Or depending on the damage and if there was any power outage, when we would be able to go back home. Luckily our house had zero damage, we only had power out for about 5 hours, and we had wonderful friends and neighbors who watched Pixie for us. We were so lucky that's for sure! As much as I love this time of year, the constant hurricane scares are not fun!

Being a mommy is easily the hardest job. Your patience, nerves, and sanity is tested just about every single day. You still have to take time for yourself, do what you enjoy, and of course make your health a priority because if you aren't your best self, everyone suffers. Or you'll just go insane! Today I'm sharing some mommy must-haves, things that I enjoy and bring me happiness (or make my life a bit easier!) so I can be the best mommy to Oliver and Elsie.
Happy long weekend! We're headed out of town to spend time with family. Hope you have a great one!
Growing up I never understood why my mom just had to wear lipstick before we left the house. I was young and had those natural pink lips that kids have and all I had to do was swipe on some Chapstick and I was good to go. Oh, but do I get it now!
