In this weeks Love List I’m sharing a parenting win, a new movie I really enjoyed, shoes that are a big win in my book and much more, let’s dive in.
- Mindful moments. Ben was having a tough evening, he was whining and arguing and crying and nothing was going his way (according to him), I took him aside and said lets try to sort through your emotions. He has a breathing ball, this thing that goes in and out, so we practiced breathing in and out and then read The Color Monster which is a story about sorting out emotions. As we read the book we talked about examples of each of the different emtions. At the end, he said he felt better, and then went and told Nick he wanted to do this every night before bed, even if he was in the ‘green zone’ (green is ‘calm’ emotions) it was so so cute and felt like a big parenting win. We’ve done it a few nights now and he really seems to like it, he calls it his ‘mindful moments with mom’.
- We saw The Idea of You(Prime) and absolutely loved it. It’s definitely a hot/steamy movie. I read the book last year and liked it, but I gotta say, this is the first time I’ve ever really liked the movie adaptation better than the book! Nick commented that the music in the movie was good too.
- I feel like I’ve been seeing this snackle box everywhere, so I finally just got one to see what the hype is all about
- Bobbi Brown long wear eye liner. I’ve been using it for a week now and absolutely love how it goes on and how it looks. Black was becoming a little too dark for my everyday look, but the brown is lovely!
- The Nisolo everyday mules, omg, so comfy and cute, I love them!! And they haven’t needed any wearing in, just put them on and go!
- One of my favorite authors, Carley Fortune, released a brand new book yesterday: This Summer Will Be Different and I can’t wait to dive in, of course I preordered it!!
