I went to bed last night at 9:30 just completely drained. Not from any physical activity but just from the constant state of fight or flight that my body feels rn. I know the majority of us are struggling. Our plates are FULL. We’re overwhelmed with school, our jobs, a pandemic that has killed 200k of our fellow citizens, mourning the loss of Black lives. It’s a freakin’ lot. I hope you know that I’m holding space for you here. I am WITH you. One thing that has helped me tremendously during this time (besides biweekly therapy which is a must) is practicing presence. It’s easy to look ahead at what will come and live in that fear but it’s better to look at right now. What’s right in front of you this second? When I do that - I see my girls giggling as playing. I see Peighon’s improving math skills and Millie’s blossoming drawing skills. I see happy kids and a happy family. That is when I feel most at peace. I can literally feel the negative energy melt away. Focusing on what is present keeps me from worrying about what’s coming next and it keeps me in a state of calm which is what I crave so much now. Wishing you all moments of peace and calm. Ps. I will get this bleached dresser on the blog one day for now the tutorial is in a highlight bubble!

I don’t feel equipped to be handing out too many

I don’t feel equipped to be handing out too many tips on homeschooling but the one I have so far is “make it fun.” One thing P was really missing from school was the school lunch desserts.
So - how can we fill that void? Popsicle Fridays!
We feel pretty nostalgic about popsicles in our family anyway. Our old neighbors in Florida (the best neighbors you could have) would meet my girls with a popsicle and a seat on their back patio almost every single day after school. We can’t have that so these fun @wholefruit dipped popsicles are the next best thing plus - I think it counts as science. Sharing our favorite dipped popsicle recipes on the blog! #ad #wholefun #wholefruit

The girls asked if we could have a game night this week to try out some new games. I was super excited until I realized I’d have to go to the store to grab said new games. Then, I realized it would be the perfect time to try out the new Walmart+ membership. Free unlimited delivery (your order must be at least $35 and other restrictions may apply) may include same day or next day delivery where applicable. I ordered our games, snacks, and treats and had them delivered to my doorstep. That’s a mom win. On the blog today I’m talking about the rad benefits of Walmart+ and how we’re using it. #ad #walmartplus #liketkit @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2X4gX

Closing up week two of homeschool and y’all, this is alright. For sure there have been some bumps but mostly we enjoy it. Throwing it back to when I had a dining room that was used as a dining room. I do miss when it was tidier but I love being together during the day!! On a scale of 1-10 how is schooling going for you? 1️⃣??? Or 🔟🥳 I’m at a solid 8 for sure. lemme know! #diningroom #serenaandlily #militaryhousinf #milspo #blackhomebloggers #diyblogger #homeblogger #coastaldecor

Idk how long it’s been since my house was this clean but homeschool starts tomorrow which tells me that it’ll be awhile before my house is ever clean again. But that is A-okay with me because I’m excited about this new adventure!! I hope that this year, my girls feel safe, they feel loved, they feel inspired and excited to learn. I hope they feel brave as we enter some uncharted waters. I hope we all can give each other so much grace. On the eve of homeschool, I mostly just hope that we enjoy being together. Wishing all of you guys the best adventure this school year whatever that looks like. 💙💙💙 #LTKhome @liketoknow.it.home Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app http://liketk.it/2Vge4 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #homeschoolmom #coastalliving #coastaldecorating #potterybarn #framebridge #coastalhome #coastalstyle #beachliving #milspouselife #milspouse #milspouseblogger

Last week we did a styling 101 with @jennakateathome and chatted all about coffee table styling. I mentioned that sometimes I think we get in our own heads and make it more difficult than necessary. So if you need some tips or encouragement check out the highlights! I saved them all under table styling! #coffeetablestyling #livingroomdecor #decoratingtips #coastalliving #coastaldecor #coastalhome #abmathome #blueandwhitedecor
