Let's talk parenting and perfectionism for a second friends...

You would think that I would have it all figured out and that I am in fact the perfect parent. WRONG! This picture is proof of that, and let me tell you why...

You see this morning my 13 year old came out of her room wearing her favorite wide leg jeans (yeah I know), and a tucked in black polo shirt that she is required to wear for band. I took one look and said absolutely not, you aren't wearing that to school today people will make fun of you, you look like a dork.

Welp, made my daughter cry right off the bat this morning. That was fun.

As I was sitting back reflecting, I realized that in my attempt to protect her from being made fun of, I, in fact made fun of her.

You see, my daughter can take care of herself. She has the strength and the backbone necessary to stand up for herself if she needs to. For crying out loud, the girl taught herself another language in order to cuss out her bullies. But in that moment I sent the signal to my daughter that I did not trust her judgement and that she was not capable of caring for herself.

So what did I do to fix it?

I apologized in a language she requires, quality time. I picked up from school just a little bit early, said the words she needed to hear, and then I took her for her favorite treat, a lotus from Kevlar Coffee.

Does my apology take it away? No. But it at least shows her that I am capable of knowing when I have made a mistake and working on correcting that behavior. You see, we don't have to be perfect parents in order to be present parents, but we do need to be parents who are aware of the impact of our actions and have a willingness to make things right.

Okay, you guys definitely want to save this one... This easy apple berry compote was so freaking good and legit the easiest thing in the world to make, and with only 3 tbsp of added sugar for 3 full mason jars, I am going to say it's healthy-ish...

Look, I feel pretty strongly that by this point in time you realize I am one of those people that gets pi**ed when they see all the stuff they have to scroll through in order to get to a recipe, so I guess I'm going to d...

Happy Veteran's Day...

There's a portion of my life that I very rarely speak about, most people actually don't know this about me. The people that know can see it and how it impacts me in my day to day, but for the most part, people just don't...

You all know by now that I am down for a good cause... Well, with all of the unknowns surrounding putting food on the table for so many families, I am doing what I can in order to help stock the shelves at one of the local food pantries our family serves through Hunt For Hunger.

If you bring a donation that can help with stocking their shelves, I will give you $2 off your purchase, and if you know my prices you know that that is A LOT off some of my stuff. Limit of 1 credit per customer.

So I am maybe more than a little mad about this SNAP benefits not being distributed thing... If you are struggling or know someone who is, I curated a list of a few ideas to help you cut costs, and I plan on doing a few more posts very similar to this.

Hey guys...

Well we are back from vacation and we have some tips...

So the Boerner family just got back from vacation, Disney and Universal at that, but would we really be the family we are if we didn't do as many spooky things as we were able to? Well for us, that meant Halloween Horror...

Here is your sign that it is 1000% okay to pivot to meet your family's needs when on vacation and every other day as well.

You all KNOW how excited I was to spend all the time I had at Universal and Wizarding World. I mean... you have seen my Ravenclaw water cup, right?

Well this little munchkin was SUPER overstimulated, and honestly, so was I. We did what we went to do. We rode the rides we had planned (thank you early park admission) and then we just said, ya know what, it isn't worth the fight and we deserve a chance to relax on our vacation. So in the car we got, and over to the beach we went.

We still had an absolutely magical day, and now Mom and kid are both in much better moods, feeling more regulated, and confidently walking into our park days at Disney.

A pivot in plans doesn't have to be boring. You can absolutely choose to do something fun but less stimulating if need be. I promise it won't wreck your plans, and you likely will remember the detour as one of your favorite memories. At least I know we will... 😉

See you guys on Tuesday!
