🚨 Confession: I think working in social media and blogging for seven years has contributed to bouts of perfectionism in my life. My head is filled with what I should be doing to be successful. ⠀
⠀
Plan ahead, edit the photo this way, get in the photo, post at this time and use this many hashtags. Don’t use this filter, but make sure you use this tool. Only post about your niche. While these tips are valuable and do help growth, life happens and I get sidetracked.⠀
⠀
When I can’t keep up with these strategies, I get down on myself and simply shut down instead of posting content. I think these rules have stunted my creativity. I used to write long blog posts with vulnerable thoughts that resonated with people. Then, life and business got serious. Bills had to be paid and thankfully opportunities were plentiful. Parenting two young kids and running two businesses leaves little time for me to feel inspired to do big things! I’m in a weird season right now where I need to find my creativity again and stop getting stressed over things that are simply silly or out of my control. ⠀
⠀
I’m sure posting this selfie is not part of a strategy, but I’m smiling and at the bus stop in my new jacket with my kids. It’s a simple moment in my life where I simply was being and not stressing out. ⠀
⠀
What do you do to get inspired, creative or motivated when you feel like you are on auto pilot? ⠀

Fall picture day! Why is he growing up so fast?! In other news I survived shopping for our Fall family outfits happening soon! I found outfits for everyone except myself. Go figure! I will admit that shopping for coordinating looks stresses me out. If I struck it rich I would pay someone to shop and pack for me! Do you love clothes shopping for fall photos? #falloutfits #preschoollife #fallishere #fall #familyfallphotos #momlife

#ad Happy 80th Anniversary Batman! My son is loving his new #Imaginext Transforming Batmobile by @FisherPrice. Everyone in my family is obsessed with it! We are learning how to share, but it is hard to give up the remote control. With it, the kids can transform the Batmobile to battle mode, drive it to do 360-degree spins and more! Long Live the Bat and providing family fun for many years to come! Do you think your kids (or husband) would flip out over this? #Imaginext #Batman80 #LongLiveTheBat

Who or what are you going NUTS over right now? (ad)⠀
⠀
For me, I am going nuts over cooler weather, family time and showering my friends with these punny @yommssnacks pecan treats.⠀
⠀
There are so many benefits to eating pecans:⠀
⠀
✨ high levels of antioxidants and fiber.
✨ helps cholesterol, blood pressure and inflammation. ⠀
✨ they taste amazing! ⠀
⠀
Right now they are available at Brookeshire’s Grocery! Great BOGO offer happening now until 10/15. ⠀

🎃 Temperatures in Texas fall to 52. Busts out all the fall sweaters, jackets and pumpkins. If only it wasn’t going to be in the 90s again by Friday! ⠀
⠀
Meanwhile, head to ModernMomLife.com to see how we transformed this pumpkin into one of our favorite Toy Story 4 friends! I also have a Toy Story 4 car bingo game available for download! ⠀
