Kept all the goodie bag toys from the birthday parties my kid joined… and this is what it turned into. It’s not even all of it.

I finally can regift these for my kids spring fair but ultimately they’ll end up in landfill because it will eventually break.
Let’s normalize kids birthday parties where kids just have fun. They won’t remember the goodie bags and it’s less work for the parents right?

Not judging but if we want to leave a better planet for the next generation- our kid- we probably need to start changing small habits like this. by @wetrashtalk

Between motherhood and everything else life throws at us, we’re just trying to put together a cute and comfy (that’s now sweatshirt/sweatpants) outfit with what we already have.

Wearing my old jeans, shirt, a scarf, and a preloved Celine dupe bag. Off to journal, read, and mind my business. 🍁🍂🌸 by @wetrashtalk

Anyone else have cookie dough in their freezer? Here’s the recipe I use for soft chocolate chip cookies:

1 cup salted butter softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
About 2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) if you’re making fresh and not freezing the dough.

In a medium bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Cream together butter and sugars until combined.

Beat in eggs and vanilla until light (about 1 minute).
Mix in the dry ingredients until combined.

Add chocolate chips and mix well.

Roll 2-3 Tablespoons (depending on how large you like your cookies) of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared cookie sheets. Or store them to freeze. by @wetrashtalk

At first, it’s really hard. There’s always an excuse or a reason to skip a workout. 😩

But why should we? We always feel better, stronger, and happier when we show up. 💪🏼✨

You don’t have to feel motivated every day. You just have to keep showing up. by @wetrashtalk

Three years ago, I built a marble run out of LEGO for my toddler.
I had no idea it was already a “thing.”

Friendship is hard as you get older.
Anyone else feel the same?

I’m so glad I’m not alone in this.
