FASTer Way with Juliana Gaines

If we decorate for it, it will come right?

I definitely had more productive things I could have done, but this made me happy 😅 can’t wait for the cooler weather to follow! I see stealing my husband’s sweatshirts for a fall/winter baby bump in my future.

Keeping it on the real real ✌🏽

Sometimes we’re just living on ice cream and a prayer.

When you have a strong foundation of health, stressful seasons are just a blip of time. You know what foods will make you feel best and support you, but maybe you want to indulge in a random ice cream or a bag of chips. You can get back to your foundation after taking a little break and fuel yourself through the chaos.

When it all feels too heavy, ice cream and Jesus go a long way. A solid village can also carry you through 🫶🏽

Happy Monday 🫶🏽

Focusing on steps in September?

It can feel really hard to get walking when you’re busy doing a bunch of small tasks to keep up with your kids all day. Including them in my steps has been a game changer!

And it doesn’t just have to be a walk in the neighborhood! There are so many fun kid places where you can walk! The zoo, museums, botanical gardens. If you need steps but also need the kids out of the house, see if any of these options work for you!

Where else would you go to get steps with your kids?

Hate when I have to be a strong, independent woman and catch a baby lizard while my husband is at work.

My sister is for sure judging me if she sees me be a spaz about this. But this is a huge improvement from my reaction from the lizard I had to catch last year.

We first saw this lizard about two weeks ago but when my husband was going to attempt catching him, my son accidentally scared him behind the washer and dryer. There was one other close catch the day before this, but again, my son interrupted the trapping process. I was surprised to find the lizard again so soon, but this time my son would not be able to foil my plan.

When I discovered him this time, I was on a time crunch because I had banana bread muffins in the oven with 8 minute timer. The time pressure probably helped me get the job done sooner 😅 And I did it in exactly 8 minutes because the timer went off right when I went outside 😂

No lizards were harmed in the making of this reel 🦎
