I have a picky toddler. THERE. I said it. #ad
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
His diet isn’t something to brag about. At this point, I’m feeding him anything he will eat just to get by. Honestly, it concerns me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, to make sure my toddler gets all those healthy nutrients, I’m giving him @ElseNutrition Complete Nutrition Drink for Toddlers. I’m really excited about this drink because it is LOADED with vitamins & nutrients that will help my boy grow big & strong. Plus, it’s all-natural and approved by pediatricians & nutritionists.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best part? He actually LIKES it. I call that an all-around parenting WIN!

So, I dyed my own hair for the first time in many years… (ad)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To say my hair needed a refresher is an understatement. I actually didn’t realize how bad my hair was until I took these before/after photos (swipe to see the before).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I honestly cannot believe I did this all by myself! I set up an account with @eSalon with all of my needs/wants in a good hair color. They matched me with a specialist who used my before photos and requests to customize a color just for me (swipe to see package I received)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The process was much simpler than I expected and the results speak for themselves. I’m so pleased with the results that I will certainly be using eSalon whenever I can’t visit an actual stylist. Thanks @babbleboxxofficial for introducing me to this great service! I finally feel confident again – which is a big deal considering I just had a baby.

“Who needs superheroes when you have a brother?” 🌟
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My toddler loves his baby brother dearly. How do I know? Aside from the obvious, he asks his brother to cuddle him every day. Before now, mama was the ONLY one he would say “cuddle me” to. I’m such a proud mommy to see my 2 year old give his little brother so much affection.

Thank you @kossinacreative for this beautiful photo. 💙 #siblingsquad #unfilteredmotherhood #brotherlylove

AD: School is back in session and it's time to recognize the teachers who are heading back into the classroom.

Using fun craft blanks, my favorite @officialcricut supplies, and my Cricut Joy – I made personalized back to school teacher gifts: tissue boxes for the classroom and face masks for teachers!
