Tips for a Stress Free Morning for Moms is sponsored by The Hillshire Brands Company!
I don’t know about you, but mornings can get super stressful – especially if you’re a mom. Being responsible for yourself and (in my case) three little ones can seem daunting. Preparing 5 breakfasts, packing lunches, getting everyone dressed and out the door on time can be tough. Here are some of the things I do to have a stress free morning!

Every year I get so excited to review my analytics and see what your favorite posts, products, etc. were for the entire year. Sometimes it is surprising, but not always. This year, I WAS surprised to see the post that barely beat my 18 books round-up. That is normally my #1 post for the year, but this year, the Chili Recipe won! Here are my top 5 posts for the year…

Well, I’ve officially joined the thirty club! I honestly was feeling a lot of dread a couple of years ago knowing that I was so close to 30 but feeling more like 18. Can anyone else relate? It’s like I woke up one day fully expecting to still be in college, but somehow ended up married with three kids. haha I honestly could not feel more blessed and as I woke up this morning, all I felt was gratitude. Grateful for my family’s health, my husband, my babies, good friends, and a wonderful extended family. Grateful for our jobs that are too fun to feel like work. Just grateful. I wanted to stop and thank you guys, too. Y’all have no idea how much you mean to me. I love this community. Interacting with y’all through DMs and emails is literally what I look forward to most every day (other than spending time with my kids, of course). I will answer some of your questions from IG at the bottom of this post, so be sure to read to the end!
Amazon Prime Day 2018 has officially begun! I know most of you are already sick of the NSALE and most of you can not shop it yet, so I’m taking a break today (although I am sharing deals on my Facebook page and IG) on the blog to share my favorite Amazon Prime Day picks! Let’s jump into it!

I am all about working hard during the week and treating myself and my family on the weekends. We love to go get ice cream or go to the pool or splashed or something really fun at the end of every week. It’s like a treat for working so hard or for the kids being extra sweet during the week. We all look forward to it. This summer, it has been challenging for me to keep the kids busy enough so that they aren’t bored while also working. It is something I have been struggling with the last few weeks, so it has meant working a lot of late nights and on the weekends again. I think it is so important to treat yourself often. Keeping life fun and exciting is preferred to just working your life away, right? So, I am working to treat myself and my kids to lots of breaks and fun activities.
I’m going to do my Five on Friday posts a little differently. Instead of sharing 5 things I’m loving, I’m going to share 5 things in different categories that YOU guys want to see, so send me any and all question or categories you would like to see featured in my Friday Posts! It can be anything from books to fashion, to what I’m buying that month or kids favorites. Today, I’ll be sharing 5 sales and 5 new things that I’m loving!

Since the start of summer, I have had to completely makeover my morning routine. It’s no longer about getting the kids to school and it’s more about getting some work done before we go play! I have had to implement new strategies into my morning in order to be productive and get things done, but also for my own mental health. Moms need a little time to wake up and get their day started just like everyone else, but we usually don’t have that much grace handed to us. Here is what I’m doing to have productive mornings.
