Slow Parenting Tips

Lately, my family has been trying to slow down. We had found ourselves, very easily, succumbing to the hustle and bustle of raising kids in 2024. When we started to feel run down and burnt out, we sat down and talked seriously about slowing down our lives. I’ve been very surprised at how peaceful I feel after making a few easy changes to the way we operate as a family. These are my top slow…

Reading Again - Getting Back Into Books

I remember reading so much as a child. I loved collecting books, reading new stories, and meeting new characters. As I got older, life got busier. I got married, had kids, and suddenly my world revolved around something new. However, a lot of my favorite hobbies got lost – including reading. In the past year or so, I’ve been focused on taking better care of myself so I can be the best mom I can…

Dealing with Anxiety as a Mom

Motherhood is beautiful. It’s full of love, laughter, and countless precious moments. However, it’s no secret that being a mom also comes with a LOT of challenges, and anxiety is one that I struggle with regularly. Juggling responsibilities, managing the household, and meeting the needs of our little ones can often leave us feeling overwhelmed. As an anxious person prior to motherhood, I find…

2024 Travel Wish List

The travel bug is biting yet again, so I know it’s that time again! Time to write out my dream travel wish list for the upcoming year. A travel wish list is a collection of all of the amazing places around the world that I am dying to see and experience this year.

Social Media Breaks - Why and How

Hi, I’m Filipa, and I’m a (mild) social media addict. I’ll admit it – I love social media! I love connecting with other moms through Instagram and TikTok. I love building vision boards on Pinterest, and I love finding small businesses across the internet to support. However, there are definitely times when I realize that I’m way too plugged in. I am a huge advocate of scheduled social media…

2024 Spring Outfit Inspiration

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with some of the new trends I’ve been seeing pop up on social media. It seems like we’re going to have a great fashion year with the combination of early 2000’s nostalgia and minimalist color palettes. Spring is the best time of year for fashion because you can wear your cool weather items like sweaters and knits in the evening but your warm weather shorts and…

Most Instagrammable Places in Greece

Our family recently spent time traveling through Europe together. We spent time in Greece, France, and Germany and enjoyed every minute of it! I’ll admit that I was very anxious about traveling across multiple countries with two toddlers in tow. However, it was such an incredible experience and I wouldn’t trade a moment of it. Our experience in Greece was especially wonderful. There are so many…

Screen Free Activities for Energetic Toddlers

I will be the first mum to admit that there is nothing wrong with a little tablet or TV time. We rely on screens as adults to take our mind off the hustle and bustle of our lives, so our kiddos should have that option as well. However, when you have super energetic toddlers, screen time doesn’t help relieve that urge to move, create, and explore. When you’re a mum, developing engaging activities…

Cooking with Your Toddler

I’ve never been much of a cook. If I’m being honest, I’ve always kind of dreaded the process of cooking. However, having children has really opened my mind to the possibilities of the kitchen. Seeing their interest in food and how it’s prepared and thinking about the responsibility that comes with preparing meals has really made me rethink the value of cooking in my home. Cooking with your…
