    • Getting in the Halloween spirit over here! These bats are a fun new addition to our decor this season — which really only consists of a few pumpkins and cute black wire cat on our doorstep. Don't tell the hubs, but I love the bats so much I'm considering leaving them up year-round. What do you think? 🦇😉 ⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #minimalistdecor #Halloweendecor #halloween2019 #batdecor #fireplacedecor #modernfireplace @urbanmillworks #mountainmodern
    • Earlier this week I went for a run, and for the first five minutes, I cried.⠀ ⠀ This week has been tough. We've had two sick toddlers, five straight days of fevers, and several not-so restful nights. By Thursday morning, I was on edge. All I wanted was to get dressed and have a hot cup of coffee before anyone needed me. I was hopeful the kids would be healthy enough to get out of the house for a few hours so I could get a little work done, but Inès woke up at 5:30, still with a low-grade fever, just wanting to be held. Noah sensed my fuse was short and fought me on pretty much everything. 🤯😭⠀ ⠀ These days and weeks are hard, but always a good reminder that being these munchkins' mama is my first and most important job. I know one day I'll look back and miss being needed so intensely — so, for now, I'm gonna put away my to-do list, pour another cup of coffee, and love these babies back to feeling better. ⠀ ⠀ Sending strength and get well wishes to all of my other overtired, baby-wearing, booger-wiping parents out there! 😘❤️⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodinspired #thisismotherhood #momentsinmotherhood #motherhoodmoments #motherhoodintheraw #mamalife #toddlermomlife #parentlife #parentinglife #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #minimalistmama #mamaminimalist
    • Homes aren't meant to be perfect; they're meant to be lived in. Our house is spacious — and yes, it gets messy! But even with two toddlers, the mess rarely feels overwhelming. In simplifying our home, we now have fewer toys to pick up at the end of the day, fewer books to put back on shelves, and fewer things to dust around. Who doesn't wanna do less of that? 🤷⠀ ⠀ Yes, having a home that's easily tidied feels incredible. But the real payoff is the time and energy reclaimed that you can then put towards the people and activities that fill you up.⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #mamahood #minimalistmama #minimalismjourney #simplify #lifesimplified #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodinspired
    • Do we all have our fall treat pants on yet?👖Who am I kidding. I wear mine year round. 😜 ⠀ Really though, you can keep your regular pants on because this No Added Sugar Pumpkin Banana Bread is made with 💯real food ingredients and no refined sugars. We're talking bananas, pumpkin puree, white whole wheat flour, and a generous amount of pumpkin spice.⠀ ⠀ Here's the ingredient list so you can grab whatever else you need on your way home from work today. Full recipe is on the blog! ☝🏻 ⠀ • 1 cup pure pumpkin purée⠀ • 2 cups mashed overripe bananas (from about 6–7 medium, very overripe bananas)⠀ • 2 eggs⠀ • 1/4 cup avocado oil⠀ • 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend⠀ • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder⠀ • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda ⠀ • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract⠀ • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt⠀ • 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour⠀ • 1/2 cup mix-ins such as chopped walnuts, pecans, raisins, chocolate chips 👈🏻 kinda negates the "no added sugar" thing but I highly recommend 🍫😋⠀ •••⠀ #pumpkin #pumpkinbread #noaddedsugar #healthypumpkinrecipe #pumpkinrecipe #pumpkinspice #bananabread #fallbaking #healthyrecipeshare #cleaneating #eatclean #realfood #eatrealfood #modernminimalism #freezerfriendly #healthytreat #healthysnack #kidfriendly #dairyfree
    • Too many toys = too many browser tabs open. Loved this sentiment from @simplifyingtheeveryday. 💕⠀ ⠀ You know that feeling of overwhelm when you have 90 different tabs open and don’t even know what you’re looking for? ⠀ ⠀ That’s how our kids feel in the presence of too many toys. They have the same inability to focus. The same stress of not knowing what to do next, or what it is they’re even looking for. They jump from toy to toy just like we tab back and forth between pages. ⠀ ⠀ I recently started paying a lot more attention to the browser tabs I have open and it’s done wonders for my productivity and ability to focus.⠀ ⠀ Like adults, kids need to be able to focus on their “work.” These drawers are only half full but still I see indecisiveness and a high bounce rate between toys so I’m planning to pare them down again in the coming weeks 🤫 and then write a post about how we declutter toys! 🙌🏻⠀ ⠀ Lets help our little ones find joy and focus in play by simplifying their “tabs.” ⠀ •••⠀ #declutter #decluttering #declutteryourhome #decluttertips #clutterfreewithkids #clutter #modernminimalism #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #toddlers #mamahood #minimalistmama #minimal #simplify
    • Ok friends, hit me with your favorite apple recipes! We took the kids on an apple picking adventure last weekend and these two managed to pick 34 pounds of Honey Crisp in 34 minutes flat. 😳 I'm still debating whether it was worth the 5 hours of driving and shared room situation 😱 BUT we're excited about all of the yummy caramel, crumble, and pie possibilities. 🍎😋 If you have a favorite apple recipes, send them our way! 🙏🏻 ••• #modernminimalism #applerecipes #applepicking2019
