Going to the grocery store is one of my favorite errands, especially when it means going to Trader Joe’s. Anyone else obsessed with that store? I get most of our fresh produce from Whole Foods or the Farmer’s Market because it’s a little fresher, but Trader Joe’s has such good staples, not to mention their ‘Trader Joe’s Only” products. After doing my InstaLive over the weekend I got some requests for a Trader Joe’s haul. I thought I’d share some of my favorite products that we get there in case you’re looking for new ones to try!

10 Things To Do To Turn Around a Bad Day
September 12, 2017
Some days you’re just in a funk and you can’t figure out what’s causing it, or find a way to get out of it. Over the weekend I had one of those days. I was frustrated and annoyed for no good reason. Usually, when I have bad days I can kind of mope around and be on my own. Matthew knows to stay far away from me! But when you have a baby, you desperately want to snap out of your bad mood so that it doesn’t affect them. The last thing I want is for Augustine to pick up on anything negative from me, get stressed out, or feel nervous and afraid. So before I let my bad mood get to me, I went through my list of things that usually cheer me up. Luckily a few of them worked! If any of you are struggling to snap out of a bad mood, hopefully this post will help cheer you up!
Giving Up On Perfectionism
September 7, 2017
Getting a little reflective today and talking about perfectionism. Perfectionism has the worst connotation, doesn’t it? It means to refuse any standard other than perfect. While I don’t try to be perfect, I do try to do a million and one things as well as I can. I think we all set standards for ourselves on what we want to do and what we want to accomplish. And that’s not a bad thing. Having goals and standards helps define us. But, if you’re like me, you can be a little too hard on yourself. It’s true that we can be our own worst critics. Over the past 12 months, I’ve realized there is so much out of my control. {Hm I wonder who taught me that?!}. While I can want to do everything as best as I can, I need to lower the bar just a little bit and be ok with that.
