Josh and I have been doing a lot of reading on parenting recently and I love so many of the lessons we've been learning on creating structure while also being empathetic to your child's needs.

One of the concepts that's stuck with me is how we should "sandwich" our criticism or corrections with positive things. Kids can get discouraged pretty easily but we can help make sure they feel reassured and loved by complimenting them and noticing & verbalizing their growth as well.

So for example, saying, "I'm very proud of you for putting away your toys. I want you to work on not bossing around your sister - I'll be the parent in charge. Ok? But the way you put your clothes in your drawers was great!"

Idk about you but I would love if other adults sandwiched their criticism too 😂

This is 30 🥳
• Caring a lot less about what others think.
• Having a clearer idea of what you want in life.
• Personally, in the sweet spot between not being stuck in your ways but also being out of the woods (at the moment) of young motherhood (one of the most selfless times in a person's life, IMO).
• Not being afraid to call businesses 😂 and even push back respectfully.
• Making logical decisions more often than emotional ones.
• Paying more attention to your skincare routine than your makeup routine ☺️

I honestly think that the 20 year old me would be shocked to see who 30 year old me is, how she's grown, and how incredibly blessed she is. Josh has been by my side every step of the way for the past decade+ (swipe to see) and I can't wait for what life has ahead! 🖤

I'm turning 30 in a little over a week and we decided to do a camping trip in Tennessee with the whole family. The kids have yet to ever go camping and Josh and I haven't been in some time.. I'm so excited! I think they will LOVE it. Do you have any must-have camping gear?? 🏕️

Well we didn't PLAN on going to a festival when we woke up this morning but sometimes the best things aren't planned. We love our little city. What are fun things your town does in the fall?? 🍂🍁

Still deciding if she looks terrified or excited 🧐 In any case, we had such a fun, chill fall day. I think mid-October here feels like early September in NJ or WA. And I'm not at all mad about it. Who wouldn't want fall to last a little longer??

When's the last time you got away with your S/O?

I'm currently dreaming about being here while also cooking EVERYTHING with pumpkin puree at home this week 🥧 😂

It was so nice to get away with Josh. To have full conversations, to be able to get up and go without searching for tiny socks and shoes, to stay out a little later than normal. We were so happy to get home to the babes, but goodness the free time was great while it l lasted 🥰

Happy birthday to our 7 year old!! We are so proud

Happy birthday to our 7 year old!! We are so proud of this kid. He LOVES to learn, never stops talking 😂, and always wants to be near us. He is sensitive and kind and one of my favorite people to be around. I can't wait to celebrate you today!

Nothing makes getting away with the hubs better than calling your kids and seeing that they're totally fine and happy 🥳 Can't wait to see them, but boy it's nice just getting in and out of cars 😂
