Hey beautiful! It’s me, Myra.
Striving to strike a balance between being my own person and mom-life. Wheew!
If you ask me if I am a sweet or savory person I would flat out say savory. Salt & vinegar, Thai tom kah, anything with green chilies, cheese, BACON… and you’ve got me. Yet… I always have sweets on my mind or in the oven. Funny.
My most productive time of day is only a small span of about two hours every afternoon when Mr. Interruption takes his nap. In this brief moment of clarity I forget all the loads of laundry, emails, and errands. Ahhh! After a quick project I get to enjoy a *hot* cup of coffee and share with you!
I love belly laughs with my babies, sneaking out to the garden for alone time, the 5 minutes the house is clean, uninterrupted showers, body scrubs, crafts, any chance I get to kick my feet up and actually read something… and I’d eat all day if you let me.
Here on this blog you’ll find all the things that keep me going in hopes they can help you out too.
–Here’s what I’ve got for you mama-
Real mom recipes
I get it. The pantry isn’t always stocked. Life happens and so do substitutions. That doesn’t mean dinner cant be delicious! The last thing we need is to be stressed out over exact ingredients which is why I share alternatives, seasonal items and suggestions wherever I can.
Maybe your family hates peas. Allergies? Maybe you’re a vegetarian or trying to avoid carbs… its all good.
The whole point here is to relax and enjoy life… every delicious, homemade bite!
Easy gardening
I say “easy” because while the thrill of picking dinner excites me to no end, I don’t have all day to do it. A weekend project here or a quick project there that can provide me with long lasting results… yes please!
Gardening is just an extension of my love for food. Even just a pot of herbs to garnish a meal is a nutritious victory. Dial that up by picking your own fresh greens or having a tomato plant… It just explodes from there. Possibilities are endless.
Gardening is also an extension for my love of the outdoors. Who doesn’t love fresh air? Surround yourself with lush greenery, fresh food or gorgeous flowers. If that doesn’t melt away stress I don’t know what will.
Fun DIYs
I am all for a great DIY! Kids involved or not, if it’s something crafty I’m in. Holiday crafts, science experiments, home decor… I love it all. Making soaps, whipped body butters, body scrubs and bath bombs might be my favorite because us moms could use a “spa day” everyday!
#momlife hacks
If I find something so amazing that I would tell one of my girlfriends I feel you need to know too! From meal planning strategies to save time, money and mental stress to homeschool systems that work. Cleaning and organizing tips to essential self care.
Cheers to you and all that you do mama! You do so much for everyone else, let’s keep motherhood magical too.
XO Myra
