What to Wear This Week
Getting dressed everyday while juggling kids’ schedules, deciding what to have for dinner, and 18 loads of laundry is a lot. Comfort is key, and sometimes the right outfit can shift your whole day. We’re bringing the Pinterest board to you with comfy & easy outfits that still look chic. Here are 5 simple outfit combos to spark some joy in your closet this week. This outfit is a perfect mix of wear-now and later—add the polo for warmth over your shoulders if you need it, or a scarf around your waist for a trendy moment.
We just completed our first full week back at school. What a time! On that same note, we also said “see you again one day” to a beautiful woman (my best friend, Jane’s, mom). It was a very both / and week for sure over here. This week was emotional in every way and we’re all feeling the need to rest and recharge this weekend. I hope today’s Sunday Scroll finds you curled up somewhere comfortable with a cup of your favorite nearby. Enjoy. I’ve gotten a few skincare related questions lately, so I wanted to re-share my simplified skincare routine! Everything I use, all in one place.
Every Sunday at 7:00AM EST, HealthyMom Club paid subscribers receive two lunchbox ideas plus recipes and product links—in addition to our monthly family meal plans, exclusive awesome guest articles, and more! My toddler LOVED these lunches this week!!! Pizza bagels & taquitos—such fun (but secretly healthy) meals.
Parenting teenagers is a season of learning to loosen our grip without letting go of our responsibility. As they grow, we have to decide which burdens to carry for them, which lessons to let them learn, and when stepping in would help—or hinder—the adults they are becoming. There are some things I simply refuse to do for my teenagers—even when doing them would make life easier in the moment. Because I’m not raising teenagers. I’m raising future adults. My goal is NOT to keep them comfortable, popular, or dependent on me.
“It is OKAY to do things for kids that they can do for themselves." - Sarah Rosensweet When I saw one more reel from a parenting expert saying, “What are you doing for your child that they can do for themselves?” as she talked about her youngest resisting spreading the jam on the sandwich they were making for their school lunch saying, “I can’t!”- I knew I had to write about it.
