Moving hacks: #ad This month marked the one year anniversary of our move from Arizona to South Carolina.
▫️
I’ve heard from a lot of you lately that you are moving this Summer. Here are a few tips that made our life easier.
▫️
1. Buy rolls of different colored duct tape and label boxes for each room in a different color.
▫️
2. Get painting/new carpet and any other disruptive home repairs out of the way BEFORE you move in. When you’re new in town (or even if you’re not) @homeadvisor —especially their app— is super handy for finding reputable professionals that they screen for you.
▫️
3. Meet the neighbors before you pick a house to buy. Seriously, go knock on the door! We met the next door neighbors and found out the scoop on the neighborhood when we were house hunting. We love our little neighborhood.
▫️
4. Set up and unpack the kiddos rooms first. It’s tempting to do the kitchen or living room, but trust me—having kiddos rooms set up really helps the transition.
▫️
5. Keep tools, tape, scissors, important remotes, etc all in one box and watch this box like a hawk. It’s the first thing you’ll want to open and keep in a central place since you’ll likely need everything in it while you’re unpacking.
▫️
And most of all, go with the flow! It can be stressful and exciting and filled a plethora of emotions. Set your home up as quick as you can so the process isn’t dragged out.

Managing Anxiety. #ad It has been just over 6 months now since I found myself finally sitting in a doctor's office getting help for crippling anxiety.

I've learned A LOT about myself over the past 6 months and have been keeping a list of tools that have really helped me. Sure I still have some days where my anxiety is crazy high or I'm feeling blah, but the vast majority of days I've been feeling pretty good.

Here are some things that have helped. ▫️Taking things off of my plate. This meant saying good-bye (or no) to some things I really enjoyed (podcast!).
▫️Organizing my life. I had lists on papers everywhere around the house. Using a bullet journal has really helped me in this area.
▫️Managing my stress. Before I was pregnant taking @physicianschoice Ashwagandha was helpful when I was feeling stressed
▫️Yoga. Game changer to help settle my mind.
▫️Deleting social media apps from my phone every weekend. Do it!
▫️Pushing myself to get outside no matter what the weather was like.
▫️Taking Vitamin D (my vitamin D was SUPER low).
▫️Getting help from my doctor. Hands down the biggest difference maker. Just hearing someone acknowledge what I was dealing with and knowing I had a prescription to take when needed.

What I've learned about anxiety and depression is that there is really no one size fits all solution. It's a combo of different tools and different lifestyle changes that really get down to the core of what is most important in your life. There will be up days and down days, but sharing what you are feeling with someone else always seems to lift a little of the weight off of your shoulders.

If you're struggling, I see you. You are not alone.

Baby names are on my mind this week. My husband and I just downloaded the app BabyName. Have you tried it?

It’s like tinder for baby names. Swipe right if you like a name, swipe left if you don’t. Then it gives you a list of matches between you and your partner. We actually had ONE match!

I posted a ton of baby names and my current list of favs on stories. Loved reading your replies on favs from the list. Shocked that Cora had a TON of votes.

We still have a long ways to go on the baby names. First we need to decide if we are going to find out the sex. But it has me excited for this little babe thinking about names!

Try that BabyName app with your partner tonight and lmk you many matches you end up with!

Baby books: did you keep one?

I didn’t with Brody (sorry B!), but I managed to with Isla and I love flipping through it. I was being all sentimental today and had fun reading back about my pregnancy with her.

The only way I’ve successfully kept up with Isla’s is because I went with a baby book that was ridiculously easy to fill out. It told me exactly what to fill in. For example “to announce you would be joining the family we...” It told me where to put a picture “photo of pregnant mommy” or “4x6 horizontal photo of friends and family”. It came in a sturdy box where I kept the same pen and little special mementos from her first year—welcome baby cards, 1st birthday sign, etc etc.

And it’s beautiful so that motivated me to keep going. I already get teary eyed looking back at it—I can’t imagine how i’ll feel 18 years from now.

Thanks @emilyley and @simplified for designing the perfect baby book.

I can’t wait to start on the next one for baby #3!

Tell me about how you keep track of your little one’s memories and milestones!
