First things first, which of my laptop stickers do you most identify with? #ad Second things second (and more importantly) are you trying to ACTUALLY stick to a budget this year? How many times have you made a budget but then fell through when it came to sticking with it? Today on the blog I'm sharing my secrets to FINALLY following your budget with my friends @allstate

THIS is why we stayed in New England (well this and the perfect summers, killer foliage, access to cities, ocean, mountains, and forests. Oh and don’t get me started on the food.) Tell me about you! Where do you live and what’s something you love about it? . . . #whereilive #connecticut #ctblogger #connecticutgram #ctyoutuber #ctbloggerbabes #ctphotographer #ctvisit #newengland #newenglandliving #newenglandlife #momlife #joyfulmotherhood

I’ve been doing a lot of self work this week (brought on partially by a mastermind group I sought out because I needed it.) I’ve been trying to goal set and also identify my strengths and weaknesses. Isn’t it funny how we think we know ourselves so well but yet when trying to come up with what we’re good at (or not)... it feels hard. And, whenever I voice something I think is a weakness, people often tell me they disagree 🙃🤷🏻‍♀️ So I’m trying to look hard at myself and really self evaluate. And I’ve decided one thing I want to strive to improve on this year is goal setting. I’ve never been good at BIG goal setting. I’m really great with small daily (or weekly) goals but bad at the big picture ones. I’m a detail person and I get so caught up in the steps to get there that I struggle to set the actual concrete goal. I also undersell myself so I worry about setting a goal too lofty and what will happen if I don’t meet it. . . Do you guys struggle to identify your biggest strengths or weaknesses? Tell me one below 👇🏻

Wanna know what’s weird? Posting a picture of a toilet on Instagram 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve been meaning to share our mini makeover of this space (swipe for before) Plus, I’m sharing some tips for making the most use of space in a smaller house on the blog today and I love this ceiling-height shelf we added for extra storage (aka a place to put my ever growing houseplant collection🌱).

Sure, you can use wipes for diaper changes, but every parent knows they've used it for more than that, ie: cleaning their baby's face/shirt/pants/hair, cleaning their own face/shirt/pants/hair, dusting, cleaning up spit up, removing makeup...the list goes on. 👶🏻 That's why I make sure I'm always stocked with @pampersus wipes from Sam’s Club - durable enough for tough messes, gentle enough for baby's bottom. Right now you can save $10 on any 2 packs of Pampers wipes when you stock up at your local @samsclub between now and January 26! Let me know in the comments some of the random things you've used wipes for! #PampersWipesSamsSavings #ad
