Working Update: I have my three weeks of being back at work and Brooke being at daycare under my belt. I have to say, wow that was exhausting. I haven’t woken up this early in consecutive days since high school. But, we are starting to get into a little routine and I am thankful for that. I love routines. I would say that Brooke adjusted really well. She didn’t seem to be phased at all by the transition. Me however, have taken it hard a few days. Sometimes she is just so adorable in the mornings, smiling and playing, it makes it so hard to leave her. I practically count down the hours until I can pick her up some days. Overall, these past few weeks have gone really well though and I am feeling super blessed.

 

Sidenote: I absolutely love this dress! It is slightly more than I like to spend on a dress, so I am currently on the hunt for a similar one, but I might have to cave in or keep admiring it from afar.

    First, that dress is super cute!! I need to add some more dresses to my wardrobe. Second, I’m so glad your first few weeks of work have gone so smoothly! I worked as an infant/toddler teacher for a few years and those first few weeks away from mom and dad are usually so challenging. I’m glad she’s made the transition without too many problems! 🙂

      I know, I really like the dress but it is a bit more expensive than I would like. And thank you, we are hoping it stays smooth!

@bot__us is a GPS Tracker with 2 way voice messaging.  My kids are at that age where they’re all over the place and always with friends, but we aren’t quite ready to get them phones yet.📱

With #BoTTalk,  we can easily communicate with them (screen free!!!) and know their location at all times. 

You can set the app to notify you when kids arrive or leave a certain location. And then, it has a feature to silence it during school hours or whenever you set it. 

💙It just gives me so much peace of mind and the kids LOVE it! Plus, it’s a really great price point and the monthly subscription is really affordable ($4.99/mo for GPS only or $6.99 for GPS + voice messaging) ✨ Now available on @Amazon

  • 3 Ingredient Chili Recipe 🧡 Craving this now that it’s November! Chili is one of my favorite cozy meals, it’s perfect for cooler weather! 

It’s a 1:1:1 recipe, so you can double it, triple it or more! It’s very budget friendly and feeds a group well.🍂

INGREDIENTS
1 pound of ground beef
1 can of light red kidney beans
1 can of Rotel chili fixins

Stir and leave in crockpot until warm. ( on low for 6 hrs, high for 4 hrs) Double, triple or more the recipe depending on your crowd. 

Pair with cornbread or corn chips, I also like to sprinkle shredded cheese on top. So yummy!
