It has been a minute!
As I shared in this post, I’m realizing more and more that there are truly only 24 hours in a day. I was, and am recently, struggling trying to maintain my side hustle, get the kids mentally and phsycsially ready for school, all while being full time cook, entertainer and the glue that holds it all together. If you aren’t following @CatandNat on IG, and you are a mom, you are missing out! They put it perfectly: the moms have been the emotional trampoline for the entire family during this quarantine and we need a break! {now, I say this lightly, since it is not lost on my how truly fortunate I have been during all of this. But currently, yes, I am spread a little thin and a little emotionally exhausted. High hopes for once school starts and there is a new new normal and I can slide into a mentally healthy routine.}
It does seem weird, and I can’t believe that I am currently about to type this, but {fingers crossed!!!}…
It Seems As If the Kids Are Going Back to School!!!!
While, yes, I look forward to them getting out and socializing with their peers, I am excited for them! Whatever the new new normal looks like, I am BEYOND grateful that they are the ages they are. They aren’t missing life events. Yes, Kindergarten is a life event, but my husband and I say it all the time, that we are so thankful they aren’t in college or the last years of high school.
This week has been everything school related: kindergarten beach playdate, kindergarten family Covid testing, teacher conferences and some last days at the pool. While I can not believe it is September, I also can’t believe that quarantine is semi over, and the the kids are back in school…Here is the Friday Five:
Friday Five
- $15 WHITE SUNGLASSES – Nonstop questions and comments on my white $15 sunglasses from this IG post! Such a fun Amazon find from a couple of summers ago. The white screams summer, but I do love the red, and the gradient on the navy lenses will have all your friends asking where you got your designer shades.
- BLM FACE MASK – If you missed it, I had the most insane racially and anti Semitic experience last week. I haven’t decided if I want to share on here, but am in the stages of a million different draft versions. Short and long of it, someone rode a bike by me yelling “Hail Hitler!” This turned into a pro Trump, anti Black Lives Matter discussion with those around me that left me shaken to the core. Therefore, I just ordered these Black Lives Matter face masks and these one, so that everyone and anyone around me will know where I stand. While this won’t stop racism, it will let people know where I stand all the time.
- KIDS FACE MASKS – all this back to school stuff had me panicking about the kids masks. Just ordered more of the ones linked, and can’t recommend these iron on name tags enough.
- MICRO NEEDLING – recently, I purchased this. As I get on in my 30s, I’m attempting to take better care of my skin to put off the inevitable plastic surgery as loooooong as possible. This is the cheaper version that I already have. Doing the micro needling with this toner has helped my mask induced chin pimples.
- PELOTON PLAYLSIT – if I do say so myself, my Peloton playlist is bomb! {follow me on Spotify: username is huntzbg. This is a combination of my nickname from my dad and that fact that I had a yellow bug in high school with this on the license plate.} I finally, finally, figured out to create a playlist from liked songs during rides. Super easy: when a song comes on during a class {can’t be a live class} that you like, press the heart icon. Then sign into your music streaming service, from the bike. And, viola! You will have your very own Peloton playlist in your Spotify. I can’t stop listening to mine. Patting myself on the back during dance parties or outdoor runs, I have to remind myself I just took said compilation of songs from someone else’s playlist. But hey, whatever gets you dancing or running!
