#ad #ad The Holidays are approaching, and what better way to celebrate than bringing some Christmas movies out of the vault and enjoying a delicious platter of RITZ cracker concoctions. Now we must know, do you watch Holiday movies all through the year or are those specifically reserved for the Holidays?? #RITZ #RITZCanada #TasteOfWelcome
Where’d all the time go?🫶🏻 I remember when she was a baby, someone told me to not anticipate the “terrible twos / threenager” stage and just enjoy the phases. It was great advice. I can genuinely say I’ve loved every single developmental stage .. we obviously have tough times, but it’s so fun to watch them learn and grow. I try to think of hard moments as emotional/ exhausted moments instead of temper tantrums, and argumentative/ defiant moments as them learning to stand their ground as a human and an opportunity for me to teach them how to do it respectfully. Been a lot of trial and error and I’m still learning, but mannnn it’s been fun too.
When we were in Costa Rica this past January, I saw a friend sitting at a table with a group of others. They invited me over for a glass of wine, and said they were doing their Rose & Thorn of the day. One by one everyone went around the circle and said theirs - this is the first time I had ever heard of this, and I thought it was so great. I loved hearing about the highs and lows of everyone’s day and immediately felt like I connected with some of the ladies I’d never met. We’ve since added this little game to our dinner chat and let me tell you, it’s been a game changer. The girls get excited to sit with us and tell us about their day and it doesn’t feel like we’re dragging it out of them. I just love it so much - I’m sure many of you have heard of this / already do it but in case you haven’t, this is for you 🫶🏻
I’m hesitant to even call this a hack because it’s the most basic, obvious thing 😂 Obviously she has seen us spit out foam, and when I’ve brushed her teeth for her there’s been foam… but for some reason, when I drew attention to the fact that she’s MAKING the foam by brushing. Game changer! #momhack
Go Swavekkkk, it’s yo birthday 🎈 We love you soooo much! This is probably our 3rd year of the Dollarama gift tradition. It’s been so fun to see what the girls pick out each year. No lady bug helmets this time 😂
