So, I don’t know about you, but just hearing the word “simplify” causes me to exhale and smile. This time of year can feel extra busy, and we all need to round-up the tools and resources that will allow us to breath, enjoy it, find a new balance and rhythms, and, importantly, to free up our time for these precious moments with our little ones as they grow. My motto: less errands, more backyard yoga. Literally.
We want to be mindful. Not mind-full. Our kids show us by example just how beautiful it is to welcome and take in all the changes; we see them stretching and growing into their new classes, grades, and routines. We cheer them on, and we also celebrate getting a moment of quiet for ourselves, here and there. It’s the beautiful balance of September, before life rushes us ahead to think about the holidays.
So…how will you live this season? Can we support each other in making it calmer, and allowing you to feel confident, energized, ready to take on each day and to clear out the unnecessary, so that the really good stuff shines through?
I’m right there with you, taking it day by day. And we’ll do more of this work in depth in my LIFE DESIGN: Fulfillment in 5 course, re-opening for a brief period this fall to continue supporting our major transformations (hop on my email list at top of page to be the first to hear when it’s open)
From L-R: Healthy Kids power pack, life shake (can be added to oatmeal and alot of snack recipes, stumptown decaf coffee, and hello products kids toothpaste (natural) in blue raspberry.
What are some of your favs?
I wrote another post last fall about 4 of our favorite quick and easy breakfasts (that are nourishing and sustaining) for busy back to school mornings. Can’t wait to hear what your favorites are!
Meal planner and list (Anthro)
School lunch notes (the cutest) (Anthro)
Shopping list (Kate Spade)
Even something as simple as having my morning tea water prepped and the mug ready to go helps me wake up and feel ready to slay the day.
For 4 weeks of ridiculously yummy and healthy meal plans, email me (they come bundled with product packages and life design course too!)
When you actually get a quiet moment to yourself, enjoy it! And tag me in your photos sharing what you’re up to to during back to school (this was during a baby nap, and toddler playing quietly nearby).
I’m using #fallreset to share what I’m doing to care for, replenish and appreciate the energy boost of the #proveitchallenge kit. Treasure the moments, and we’ll know we did this phase well, even though it flies by.
This is such a special season; let’s enjoy it healthy and thriving, enjoying simple memories and finding our motherhood FLOW, not running to the doc with all the bugs that are around, or feeling frantic.
