baby vacay schedule | read for tips👇🏼

I’ve gotten some questions on our daily schedule with the babies on vacation so I wanted to share! though we’re only a few days in, we are loving how this schedule has given us so much flexibility to explore!

OUR #1 TIP: ONE GOOD CRIB NAP PER DAY!
babies especially as young as ours get tired easily - after 2-2.5 hours, they’re toast! Make sure they are able to get at least one solid crib nap a day (blackout shades, sound machine, swaddle if using, etc.).

BUSY MORNING SAMPLE SCHEDULE
7-7:30am: wake + breakfast bottle
9:30am-11:30am: in the stroller or baby carrier for exploring (hope for *some* sleep during these two hours!)
11:30am/12pm: lunchtime bottle
1:30/2pm: CRIB NAP
—depending on sleep during morning exploring, nap could come earlier if needed—
4pm: afternoon neighborhood walk - also a great time to get our groceries/dinner pickup
5pm: dinner bottle
6pm: bathtime
6:30pm: bedtime

BUSY AFTERNOON SAMPLE SCHEDULE
7-7:30am: wake + breakfast bottle
9:30am-12pm: CRIB NAP
12pm: lunchtime bottle
2/2:30pm: in the stroller or baby carrier for exploring (hope for *some* sleep during these hours!)
5pm: dinner bottle
6pm: bathtime
6:30pm: bedtime

today is our one year anniversary of our successful IUI 💕 but it took more than just a procedure to these little angels into the world: I first needed to heal.

something radical changed inside me over the course of our pregnancy journey, and I want you to know the way you think about yourself and how you treat yourself can change your entire life.

felt strongly that our daily ‘random’ affirmation was anything but - and was well worth a hard post:

“my deepest dreams and desires are not out of reach. I can feel and see them very clearly with my whole being. I am attracting and manifesting my dream life. I know it's coming & it’s inevitable!”

CORNBREAD & PEACH PANZANELLA 🍑 don’t mind me

CORNBREAD & PEACH PANZANELLA 🍑 don’t mind me still savoring stone fruit season over here! gimme allll the peaches while they’re prime. they shine in my cornbread panzanella, which is just an Italian salad with fresh veggies and stale bread or croutons.

CORNBREAD & PEACH PANZANELLA
Serves 3-4 as a side

1 box cornbread mix (check box for additional ingredients needed)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 hothouse cucumber, peeled and diced
2 peaches, diced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 8oz. container herbed/seasoned mozzarella balls, quartered (can sub plain)
Handful of arugula

—tomato balsamic vinaigrette—
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Juices from cut cherry tomatoes
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup of olive oil

1. Start by making your cornbread according to package directions. Let cool completely.
2. While cornbread bakes, slice cherry tomatoes and place them into a colander over a bowl. Sprinkle the tomatoes with kosher salt and let sit for at least 30 minutes while their juices drain into the bowl.
3. In your serving bowl, add cucumber, peaches, shallot and mozzarella balls.
4. Add tomatoes to salad and use bowl of juices for making your vinaigrette. Add vinaigrette ingredients to bowl, whisking in oil. You might want to add more oil based on your preference!
5. Cut cooled cornbread into 1” squares and place onto baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray and put under broiler for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Toss gently and repeat once more.
6. Add cornbread “croutons” to your serving bowl then top with arugula.
7. Drizzle with vinaigrette, toss gently and serve!

37 sweltering days over 100º in Dallas and counting... SOS! #ad It truly has never been more important to stay hydrated than during this crazy heat wave; water keeps every cell in our body functioning at full speed even when we're bogged down by the temps. But why not make drinking water more fun? @waterdrop makes it easy with their flavored microdrinks that add essential vitamins to every sip!

My favorite waterdrop flavors are LOVE (pomegranate, goji berry and acerola) and VIBE (physalis, rosemary & peppermint) -- not only do they taste delicious but they're sugar-free, all natural and only 5 calories.

LOVE ♥️. arguably the most influential compone

LOVE ♥️. arguably the most influential component to overall health and wellbeing. am I wrong? after all, the love you receive fuels you. the love you give connects you. the love you harness inside nourishes you. love heals and strengthens and nurtures and grows you. living healthy means living with love in your heart.

if you’re searching for romantic love, remember the quest starts within you first. you have to believe you deserve the world’s greatest love - and you do. I thank God every day for healing my heart years ago so that I may have the space within it to find Ty and the capacity to keep him.

so happy anni babe 🖤 cheers to our love and the best 8 years of my life as your wife!
