#ad | Who is ready for back to school?! In partnership with @OrientalTrading I threw a Back To School Party for my daughter and her friends in celebration of returning to the classroom! I found everything I needed and more on their website, and all the guests had an awesome time. #OrientalTrading is a one-stop party shop for all of my party essentials at the best prices. I have adored their Happy Day Classroom collection for some time now, and could perfectly piece together latex balloons on their site to match the color scheme for the balloon wall. The positive affirmation posters, pencils, pencil cases, and bulletin board accessories were exactly what I wanted as a theme for the party. These are perfect to use in the classroom to create a welcoming first day for students too!

I set the snack table with all the necessities and cute apple decor. For activities, Oriental Trading sent over super fun DIY necklaces themed for the first day of school and the kids LOVED them. They also had these interactive placemats where each guest could fill out information about their new school year, add personal anecdotes, and draw pictures! The Back To School Party was a great success thanks to Oriental Trading and all of their perfect party supplies.

When planning your next soiree, shop their site and use code YAY22 for free shipping! Now, head to my stories to get an even closer look at the party supplies, and links to shop their site! #otcbacktoschool

✨Mermaids need coffee too🧜🏼‍♀️☕️🙌🏼

The irony of my body needing more coffee right now is laughable because after a week at the beach in 100 degree weather and high humidity, I should be drinking my weight X 30 in water 😂

But hey, I am actually dropping by to say, good morning, you’re beautiful, you’re loved, and you have soo much to give 🤍🙌🏼 I look at my un-smooth skin and my extra weight where I carried my daughters and I do often get down on myself or wonder if it will ever be “tight” again.

But then I think, I know I am beautiful, I love my body for what it’s given me in this life, I’m going to continue to make healthy decisions and love it everyday no matter what lines, bumps, or battle scars might show🤍

Leave a ❤️ if you’re with me.

Have a great week🙏🏼☀️

One of the simplest ways to add a touch of luxury to the bathroom makeover was partnering with @mirrormate to update the vanity mirror! Their custom frames are SO easy to assemble and put the finishing touch on our beachy bathroom.

I went with the Cherokee Montauk Sand Frame because I love the lightly colored exposed wood. Our plain vanity mirror is long gone now, and we love walking into our polished bathroom. It’s so easy to order from #MirrorMate and they even have an option to send samples if you’re just not sure what color to go with! Head over to their site and check them out if you’re looking to upgrade your mirror and tell them I sent you! 😉

Who else is happy high waisted style is sticking around? I don’t foresee it going anywhere this year and I’m living for staple bottoms like this skirt.
For a curvy girl, high waisted bottoms can be such a flattering addition to your wardrobe. This maxi skirt has been in my closet for years, and is such a primary piece in the spring and summer, and it is still available online! I just add as new cute crop top with some fun accessories to make the look my own and it’s a dreamy boho resort style look!

So many of you said this needed a permanent place in my feed instead of stories and I agree. This is our Monday reminder to always think of yourself as a girl on a fire. Go out and tackle this week, do something new, break your routine and do something fun and spontaneous. Achieve a goal you’ve been trying to reach for weeks. You can do it. We believe in you!!

What makes you happiest? What makes your family happiest? A best practice for my own self care, physically and mentally, as well as my kids, is to separate ourselves from our daily norm and go on adventures.

Get outside.
Go Play.
Unplug
Breathe

Doing those 4 simple things at least once or twice a week for me, has made a huge difference in my motivation, productivity, and overall happiness. My daughters love outside playtime just as much as I do, and it’s a sure fire way to stop meltdowns when we’ve been inside too long!

AD: Unpopular opinion: You SHOULD be prepared for anything! As a busy mom who works from home, having everything I need to comfortably get through the day is a number 1 priority. With @foodlion always having my back, I confidently step into their stores knowing they will have everything on my list. Sunday is my favorite day to keep the kitchen flowing with delicious meals like, biscuits and gravy for breakfast, and a family grill out in the evening. I make sure my family has every source of nourishment throughout the day and I find it all at my local #foodlion ! My husband jokes that my primary love language is food, but secretly we know it's not actually a joke😆

#WFRPartner ✨ How many mamas out there practice regular self care? It’s hard, I know trust me. Life is crazy, time flies, and next thing you know you’re exhausted and overran. Self care and wellness can look different for every mom, but one thing is for sure, every mom deserves to be cared for. We recently had an unforgettable experience with @Wanderlustfamilyretreats in Catskills, NY and I have covered it all today on the blog for you!

https://thebohodiaries.com/wanderlust-family-retreats-a-complete-self-care-experience/

If there is one thing in this world I will never regret it is spending time with my girls. This complete self care experience allowed me to get reconnected with myself while also spending time with my daughters on a trip of togetherness. @wanderlustfamilyretreats is now open for booking in 2023 so head to the blog to read more, and get on their waiting list for the upcoming retreats!!

Babez, beaches🌊, and bubbles🫧☀️Three things that makes my heart go 💓

I don’t care what anyone says, this is #hotmomsummer and I’m showing up everyday for it. To all you ladies hiding under your cover ups because you just don’t feel confident enough to reveal your “mom bod” this summer, I challenge you to push any thoughts of what you believe others will think of you, out of your mind. Just FORGET those thoughts and live your life girl! Look at us out there. I got some jiggle, some bumps, and stretch marks, but I won’t let that stop me from getting that two piece on, flipping my hair like I’m on Blue Crush, and playing with my girls on the beach all summer. Come on mama, you can do this!🙏🏼 You look amazing, your kids think you are the queen of the world, and you control your happiness! Don’t ever forget it! I’m always rooting for you!!

What are some of your limiting thoughts that keep you from busting out your bathing suit?

Anywhere outside is my happy place. ☀️ I want my kids to appreciate and enjoy it, and choose it over everything else.
This summer we are spending the majority of our time safely outdoors, learning more about nature and gaining inspiration from what is around us. These clips were taken at @gathergreene during our trip with @wanderlustfamilyretreats and I cannot wait to share our full experience on the blog this week. Spending time with your kids in nature is the essence of living life and I intend to live it to its fullest.

We all have those times where we realize on day 3 we’ve been wearing the same clothes and feeling a like we’ve hit a little rut.. Whether it’s not feeling confident in our bodies, not completing tasks or goals we set for ourselves, or just feeling plain lazy but wanting to break free.
• Remember WHY you set these goals to achieve. Rec enter your focus around that or add to it.
• Push through the mental block you’re experiencing. For me this is forcing myself to get up off the couch to clean that closet or pushing myself to run a mile in the morning to have more energy. Sometimes you just have to turn your thoughts off, even for a couple of minutes and, to quote Ana, do the next right thing☺️
• I will always seek God when I am feeling lost or unmotivated. He gave me light to share with the world just as He gave you yours💡. He loves you no matter what and seeking Him will always guide you through the lost times.

2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” (‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬‬:‭2‬ ESV)

Now let’s go out and CRUSH this new week!! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼

#sponsored | Warmer weather means we are outside at least 60% of the day. Making my patio as comfortable as possible is my highest priority during the spring and summer seasons, so in partnership with @InvitationHomes I am here to give you three tips on how to make your outdoor space more cozy to live in. These are all ways I personally spruce up my outdoor living and hope to inspire you to #LiveFreer in your backyard as well.
—————
•1. Cozy up chairs and seating area with comfy, colorful pillows!
•2. Set the mood (and rid the pests) with a stylish bug repellent candle centerpiece.
•3. Live greenery is perfect for adding a touch of color, as well as life to your space, and this time of year they love it outside in the warm sunlight.
—————
With #InvitationHomes you get top-quality homes managed and maintained by top-level professionals.
Invitation Homes offers nearly 80,000 beautifully updated homes for lease in desirable neighborhoods all across the nation – with close proximity to jobs and good schools. Living in a home brings joy and opportunity to make your space your own, through my favorite DIYs, or cozying up a patio, nothing feels better than enjoying a space that is all your own. Having a large backyard and plenty of space, it is easy to make your Invitation Home patio look like you.

For me, I aim to bring my interior design style outside, and you can too! Head to their website to learn more about #thatleaselife with @InvitationHomes today!

#ad @RCCola These warm sunny days have me enjoying every second of being outside. I have recently added RC® Cola Berries & Cream from @DollarGeneral to my bag for my outings, and it's a retro girls dream! I love throwing on my favorite bell bottom jeans, crop top, and flower power sunglasses to enjoy a summer afternoon of roller skating. The 70s vintage font on the RC® Cola Berries & Cream, and delicious flavor perfectly complete the retro girl vibes, and you will see me roller skating with these all summer long!
☀️☀️☀️
I found them on a recent shopping trip at my local @DollarGeneral, where I go to grab all of my outdoor activity must-haves, like snacks, drinks, blankets, coolers, etc. This limited time flavor, Berries & Cream, is SO refreshing and quenches the cravings of sweet and fruity flavors at the same time! I will be keeping these cold at home all summer so they're ready for any warm weather outdoor adventure. @RCCola in Berries & Cream is available only at DG so shop now!
