We tend to talk TOO MUCH! We over explain. You have to go to bed because we have a busy day tomorrow. You have to go to school. If you don’t go to school you’ll miss too much school work, you’ll get behind. What do you want your child to do? What...

Gardening makes my heart full. This watering can Gardening makes my heart full. This watering can from @welldotca is therapeutic. Seriously, it really is. The perfect amount of water comes out at a perfect pace. It's so calming. Now I have my outdoor garden, veggies and grass that I'm attending to each morning. It's part of my routine. It's my peace in the morning and forces me to start the day early in silence. What did you do today to find your peace? It's the little things that count. #selfcareeveryday #selflovefirst #selfcarematters #calmyourmind #calmingvibes #relaxation #relaxation #gardeninglife

Let them try. Build life skills. Show them how to Let them try. Build life skills. Show them how to do it. Do it together. Watch them do it. Then they do it on their own. This is my how my 13 year old son is taking leftovers and making himself a new meal. It all started with making his own sandwiches. Now he cooks his own meals, helps with meal prep. He loves watching videos to help him improve his craft. This passion for cooking pushed into overdrive when Erica from @chefericaguidi came into our home a few years ago to teach our family a cooking lesson. Swipe right to see more of his dishes I've captured. Isaac makes the BEST pancakes! His sister is his biggest fan. So what if they make a mess. So what if they do it wrong. It's the effort that counts. What is the message they get when we step in and fix. You can't do it. That's not good enough. You're a disappointment. Don't have faith in you. You may not realize that is the message you are sending. So change the script today. Do you enjoy cooking? Do your kids help? What have you made lately? Tell me about it! #momlifebalance #parenting #parentingtips #Hamiltonmoms #Hamiltonmom #bossmom #momlifeunfiltered #momlifebalance #momofateenager #momthemanager #parentingateen #teenparenting #momofateenager #Ilovemyteen #resilience #buildinglifeskills #positiveparenting #resilient #positiveparentingskills #parentingcoach #parentingcoaching

Or just answer the Coffee vs tea question 😂 . . . Coffee is a hug in a mug for me. Everyday it's part of my morning ritual. Water, coffee, gratitude journal, sit outside and water the plants. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which do you prefer? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coffee or tea?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you sit and enjoy your hot drink or do you lose your mug several with all the chaos? Only to reheat it for the THIRD time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I challenge you to take 10 mins to enjoy your coffee or tea at least one time this week. Smell the aroma, feel the warmth flow down your throat, taste the smooth flavour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Breathe in and out, in and out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You got this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You deserve this small ritual that will start your day on the right foot.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #selfcareeveryday #metime #selfcare #selfcaretips #selfcarematters #rituals #morningroutine #healthylifestyle #healthyhabits #selfcareroutine
