Winter Self Care

 Happy Wednesday!! Ok, if you're like me and get a touch of the winter blues around this time of year you might resonate with today's post! I'm sharing all the self care things I like to do to keep myself sane.

1. Keep your spaces clean but cozy.

Having a clean space makes my mind feel clean too. Light some candles, pull our your fuzzy blankets, curl up with a book, turn on the lamps, whatever you do that makes things feel cozy!

2. Drink water.

Make sure you are keeping up with your water intake! When it's cold, sometimes we feel like we don't need to drink as much water, but we do! As I'm typing this, I actually need to get up and get more water!

3. Don't forget the skincare.

Our skin is likely more dry right now, and I love using a thick moisturizer to help. Also using masks, oils, rose water spray, etc. will make your skin extra happy! Plus, it's just fun.

4. Make your favorite meals and drink your favorite drinks.

When Caleb or I make something for dinner that I am especially excited about, I'm just a touch more filled with joy! Same goes for a good glass of wine, a diet Coke, a fun cocktail, etc. 

5. Get a new planner. 

It's not too late to get yourself a new planner! We will see if I keep up with it this year, but having it has made me more excited for the things to come, especially the things happening in the winter!

Ok, hopefully incorporating some of these things into your routine will help fight those winter blues! Have a great Wednesday!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
