We LOVE a children’s museum! We finally checked

We LOVE a children’s museum! We finally checked @childrensmuseum Indy off our bucket list over the weekend. It was truly everything we needed - our first little day trip since Derrek’s surgery. He did sooo great on the drive and all the walking!

We had so much fun we are already planning to head back next week for another visit to kick off summer!!

Have you been to the Indy @childrensmuseum ?! What was your favorite part? The boys ditched me and I did the Barbie exhibit myself. It was so much fun - my inner child was LIVING!

Odie & I went to @milkandbeans_ for the first time

Odie & I went to @milkandbeans_ for the first time last week. Definitely one of those “why haven’t we done this sooner?” things! A play café is absolutely genius! It’s right over in Crescent Springs - about 15/20 minutes from me!

I didn’t have too long to stay - but in the hour we were there I got more work done than expected!!

Odie had an absolute blast! I can’t wait to bring him back to play while I get some work done - this is going to be a game changer for this freelance - work from home - blending mama 🙌🏻

☕️ iced vanilla latte

I’ve been very much feeling off my groove lately

I’ve been very much feeling off my groove lately. I’m not going to lie - the past month or so has been a lot. It’s easy to feel lost or behind when you’re living in that opposite state of “thriving” - - - but that’s not the case. You are redirecting. You are learning. You are preparing. When talking to my mom about my recent struggles she said, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Although in the moment this made me roll my eyes & I don’t recommend telling anyone this advice while they are in the thick of it - now that I am coming to the other side - I really do feel so much stronger - physically and mentally. I’m very excited see this strength push me even further.

If you’re in the thick of it right now - I won’t necessarily say “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” - but I am here to remind you to give yourself grace. Take it each day at a time. You’re learning. You’re preparing.

Raise your hand if you had no idea you had to get

Raise your hand if you had no idea you had to get air ducts cleaned! [ a d ] Raise your hand if you’re not even quite sure what an air duct is! Yeah - - - honestly adulting is hard & comes with a lot of maintenance. I can’t keep track! Luckily you only need your ducts cleaned about every 6 years! Derrek and I have owned our house for about 9 years now and had not had our ducts cleaned before. No one really talks about that? Right? Well here I am to tell you - I am so glad we did it!

Last month, @teasdalefenton came out and did a full air duct cleaning service. I anticipated some crazy clean up since we had never had them cleaned. I was right. I got to see all the dust and grime sucked up in the vacuum - and let me tell ya - I am glad it’s gone! Surprisingly our vents weren’t too bad - but we realized we had only one air return tied in & it was working overtime.

Having hardwood floors I swear I have to sweep and vacuum everyday with so many dust bunnies hiding in corners. Since we got our ducts cleaned I am noticing a significant decrease in dust! Not to mention the other benefits like improved efficiency of our air conditioning + improved indoor air quality.

Swipe to see some before and afters of our vent + a funny conversation I had with an IG friend. @teasdalefenton offers an incredible list of cleaning and restoration needs. Call 513-796-3638 to schedule your service today!!!
