- Replace Tube Toothpaste with Pearl Pop!
We have a new favorite thing! Pearl Pop helps solve a pain point we all experience - brushing your kids' teeth. It can be stressful and messy! Pearl Pop is a fun, chewy, mess-free alternative to toothpaste tubes. Made with nano-hydroxyapatite, their toothpaste pearls will turn brushing into a more fun and less messy experience. Their mission is to empower parents and kids to turn ordinary routines into something extraordinary. Check out their website linked here.
- Do a Random Act of Kindness
In the chaos of life, sometimes we forget to slow down, look around and spread more love. Today, we want to encourage you to spread love and kindness. Whether it’s sending flowers to a loved one, baking cookies for a neighbor, sending a thoughtful text or checking in on someone who has been on your mind - give it a go and we promise it’ll make the world a bit brighter :)
- Create a Sleep Routine
Swap doomscrolling for an “everything shower” and a good book for a night. Prioritizing sleep will leave you feeling more refreshed and less stressed. Here’s our favorite me-time routine.
- Everything Shower
- Skincare (Castor Oil!! Remember!)
- Plug in phone & turn on DND
- Our fave books to get lost in:
- All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker
- Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
- This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune
- A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
- The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
- The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
We could go on and on here….
- Upgrade Your Laundry Game
Our friend Katie shared a genius tip to save time on laundry—use a separate hamper for each family member to keep clothes sorted from the start! No more sorting piles on laundry day, and it’s a total time-saver. Watch Katie’s video for the full breakdown here.
- Gratitude Journaling
Start or end your day by writing down three things you’re grateful for. It’s a powerful mindset shift. I love doing this with my kids and teaching them the power of gratitude, perspective & mindset. This article is a good place to start for prompts.
- 5-Minute Workouts
Squeeze in squats, push-ups, or lunges while waiting for the kettle to boil. Small moments add up! Check out our friend Megan’s quick, no equipment, body weight leg day routine for inspo.
