    Confession: I don’t often make salads because, w Confession: I don’t often make salads because, well, the best ones usually involve more chopping than I care to put into a side dish. This salad though, it’s delicious and deceivingly low-maintenance thanks to canned chickpeas, pre-cooked quinoa, and this creamy 5-ingredient feta dressing that will blow your tastebuds away. Not to mention you can prep all the components the day before, mix it the morning of, and enjoy leftovers for lunch later in the week. 🥙🙌🏻⠀ Serve it up for the Fourth and see why it’s one of our faves! 🎇🇺🇸⠀ ⠀ Search for Best Mediterranean Quinoa Salad on the blog 👆🏻or message me for the link! ⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #minimalistmeals #simplefamilymeals #kidfriendly #chickpearecipe #dinner #pasta #healthyrecipe #mediterraneanrecipe #healthydinnerrecipe #saladrecipe #healthylunch #fourthofjulyfood #parsley #quinoarecipe #eeeeeats #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #goodeats #mealprep #mealplanning #easyrecipes #healthyfood #foodprep
    Me before 2020: It feels better to do stuff than t Me before 2020: It feels better to do stuff than to have stuff. Buy less. Live more. Get rid of all the stuff! 💃⠀ ⠀ Me now: When you can't go out and do stuff, having stuff to do is nice, and necessary. 🧸 🎸🎨🎲🧩⠀ ⠀ If you're like us, you've probably accumulated some extra stuff the last few months: toys, books, art supplies, house plants, exercise equipment, yoga pants, bicycles, baking tools... ⠀ ⠀ You likely also have bags and boxes of items to donate, but no where to drop them with many charitable organizations still closed or overwhelmed by a backlog of donations.⠀ ⠀ If you're like us, your house is more cluttered than you'd like it to be and decluttering feels harder now than ever before. ⠀ ⠀ You know what though? This is the reality of the season we're in, and when you can't go out and do stuff, having stuff to do at home is really nice. In this season of life we feel lucky to have more than we need. ⠀ ⠀ Wherever you are on your simplifying journey, this is just a little reminder give yourself some grace this season. Declutter what you can, when you can, 10 minutes at a time. Reach out to local shelters and organizations who might be in need of your donations. Welcome things into your home as needed to keep yourself sane and little ones busy. We’ll have plenty of time on the other side to minimize. 💕 ••• #modernminimalism #lessismore #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #toddlermama #mamahood #minimalistmama #minimal #simplify #declutter #decluttering #declutteryourhome #decluttertips #clutterfreewithkids #clutterfreeliving
    Let's talk laundry systems! Here's a sneak peek at Let's talk laundry systems! Here's a sneak peek at ours. 👆🏻 ⠀ These two baskets live on top of our washer and are my secret to keeping laundry manageable. 🧺 ⠀ When a basket gets full, a load goes in! And because it's only one load, it's quick to fold and put away within a day. ⠀ Our laundry routine usually flows one of two ways:⠀ • Morning: Wash • Afternoon: Dry • Evening: Fold & put away during the kids' bath or family tv time OR • Evening #1: Wash (start it after the kids get in the bath) • Before Bed: Dry • Morning: Transfer clothes back to the basket to fold/put away later • Evening #2: Fold & put away during the kids' bath or family tv time ⠀ Is your laundry setup working for you? If not, hide your hampers and try this two basket method for a week. It might just simplify your laundry life. ••• #laundrysystem #laundryday #laundryroomdecor #laundryroom #seventhgeneration #laundrytime #simplifyingparenting #simplifyinglaundry #laundryhack #simplifyyourhome #simplifymotherhood #ikeahack @seventhgeneration @ikeausa @thecontainerstore

    Listening. Learning. Supporting. Changing. Until y Listening. Learning. Supporting. Changing. Until yesterday I did not see myself as part of the problem. I have black friends, and brown friends, pink and white friends. In college I mentored black youth in the heart of Boston; today I follow and support women-owned businesses of every color. Until yesterday I would not have considered myself racist — but two chapters into @ibramxk "How to Be An Antiracist" and I now understand how racist neutrality is a mask for racism. Not being racist is not enough. ⠀ ⠀ Pausing this week to make space for the voices that need to be heard, and time for myself to listen, learn, support, and grow. Grateful for the opportunity to do better, be better, and be part of the change. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿⠀ ⠀ 📷 Beautiful illustration by @caropeony
