Let’s talk toys. [ a d ] I recently cleaned out

Let’s talk toys. [ a d ] I recently cleaned out all of Odie’s baby toys & lots of stuff the big boys no longer play with - or still sat unopened from last Christmas 🥲 It sat in my trunk for a few days of course & then I brought it into @onceuponachildhydepark to turn those toys into cash 🧸 = 💵

It felt great to make room for all the new toys Odie got for his birthday - oh and Christmas around the corner! Speaking of Christmas - @onceuponachildhydepark is not only a great place to sell your toys and clothes - but the perfect place to shop this holiday season! They have a huge selection of gently loved toys in the back of the store! I love knowing our toys get a second life to make some new kiddos happy while saving those toys from the landfills!

The temps have dropped so you already know - I mad

The temps have dropped so you already know - I made my favorite homemade turkey chili. I take my moms recipe and tweak it depending on what we have at home. Have you made chili yet?

I made dinner early tonight because it’s my @fit4mom_centralcincinnati body boost workout night! I’m over half way into the body well program and I can’t tell you guys how much better I feel from day 1. I’m a little off track with planning after Odie’s birthday and a weekend away - but I am giving myself grace to jump back in to the swing of putting my self care up there as a top priority!

Swipe to see Odie’s chili face as he shared my bowl of chili with me. PS - I will be making corn bread with my @bydash pumpkin waffle maker all fall. Way too cute and 1000x quicker than baking!

Here’s the hallway with the new door color 🌊

Here’s the hallway with the new door color 🌊 the vibes are immaculate! I am so happy with the way it all turned out.

I’m playing around with some rug layering! The giraffe rug is from @kaleenrugs (the @hilary_farr Forever Fauna Collection)! I originally thought of it for Odie’s play area - but absolutely love it here in the entryway! I think the pop of yellow is so fun with the door color! Not to mention - we just loooove giraffes in this house. You can find it on @overstock (link in bio)

It's a celebration, Odie had his first piece of pizza! You already know it was @larosaspizzeria & he loved every bite. We had a little backyard pizza party to celebrate my birthday a few weeks ago & it was so much fun! The boys helped me set up the backyard & before we were even finished our pizza was delivered - so quick and so convenient!

LaRosa's always brings the value! With the Coupons & Deals, MyLaRosa's Rewards Program or a Buddy Card - the savings is real! I love knowing we can enjoy our delicious favorites without breaking the bank.

So who's hungry? What are you ordering tonight?

Sitting here looking back on photos in my phone. I remember this day & it feels like it was just yesterday! So much has changed in that short amount of time - the living room looks so different & Odie has much more hair! What hasn’t changed is his love for snuggling up in his favorite Cozee Fluffy @deltachildren chair!

This was the day of Odie’s 9 month check up where we found out he has a heart murmur. It’s been weighing on my heart as we anticipate his 12 month check & learn more about what’s going on. I received so many DMs that helped me feel better about how common it really is & ends up going away on it’s own! The anxiety I had during pregnancy over taking epilepsy medicine early in pregnancy just resurfaced with the news of his heart murmur & it’s been hard to not wonder if it’s my fault or even related.
Can’t wait to see the doctor tomorrow and hopefully get a little more peace of mind ♥️♥️
