Happy Wednesday! Is this week going by super fast for anyone else or is it just me? I feel like it should still be Monday. But, that’s life as a mom, right? You blink and it’s been three years. It has been raining here the last couple of days and we are definitely looking forward to some sunshine this weekend (I hope!). Until then, I wanted to share these three truths with you…

Every new year, I start seeing resolutions fill up my news feeds. I see people starting new jobs, new diets, new exercise plans – all with the sole purpose of overcoming something or improving themselves in some way. Goals are great! Bettering your self is wonderful! What’s even better is seeing people achieving their goals a few months later. Each stage of life has many stresses and I have seen so many people going through a hard time or putting a lot of pressure on themselves to do it all. It messes with a lot of people. It messes with me sometimes when my expectations become the expectations I think others have for me. When I start trying to please everyone else is when I lose focus and become very stresses.

I have been extremely busy the last few months. It is just part of being a mom, I suppose. My son has kept me going non-stop between birthdays, doctor appointments, play dates, etc. Because we stay so busy and on the go, I love to plan ahead for everything – including dinner. I am all about saving time on mundane things like cooking. We have been eating at home a LOT more and have been able to save a lot of money that way. Sometimes, I don’t feel like cooking lunch and dinner. It gets tiring. That’s why I love simple meals that taste great leftover! I like to overestimate when I cook so that we will have plenty left over for lunch the next day! Here are a few easy dinner ideas that taste great left over:
Tacos: We love taco night in our house! I especially like to keep the fiesta going though lunch the next day by buying plenty of beans, tortillas, lettuce, Avocados from Mexico, etc. It is so easy to warm up the left over beans and pull out the other ingredients from the fridge to make a delicious taco. Bonus points: my son loves them! I love buying the hard and soft taco kit from Old El Paso because it comes with taco seasoning as well as the shells! They are delicious and the perfect amount for our family.

This post is sponsored by Huggies wipes but all opinions are my own.
Confession: I have used baby wipes for years. Probably since I was a baby myself. I’m not sure that they were ever not in our home. Why? Because Kids Outgrow Diapers, Not Messes.* There are so many uses for wipes. Here are just a few that I currently use them for:
-My babies (obviously)
-Spilled tea and coffee
-Clean up dog messes
-Wipe my face after a workout
-Clean off the Car Seats
-Clean off the changing pad in the nursery
-Wipe of surfaces in our home
-Clean off the table
-Clean the highchair
–Cleaning peanut butter hands
–Playdate clean-ups
–Hand wipes on hiking trips
-Clean my Yoga mat
-Clean off grocery carts
‘-Clean pacifiers and baby toys
There are really so many more uses for them. I could go on forever on the ways I’ve used them over the years. I’m excited that Huggies has come out with new Triple Clean Layers wipes that are so efficient in cleaning whatever messes I face every day. And let me just tell you, there are a lot of them.
I recently purchased the Huggies Clutch n Clean for my diaper bag and I have absolutely loved it! It is so convenient…and cute. Because that is what really matters, right?
What are some crazy ways you have used wipes?
