Making plans with ourselves!

One of my favorite things to do with my daughter is a Netflix and chill binger. There's nothing better than matching footie pajamas, hot chocolate, and a string of good to not-so-good girly movies. Snuggling under a huge blanket with a fire roaring sounds like a good time. What else would a good mama do? I am sad that fall has come and gone so quickly, but I say bring on the chill because I need some snuggle time with my baby girl!

I love Reese

I love to feel inspired. I love to feel empowered. I am proud to be a woman and I try to help my daughter feel it everyday. I am working on making her world a happy, safe place where she feels free to be whoever and whatever she pleases.

Some days I hesitate to go to work, but I know I am showing my daughter how to be a strong leader and financial contributor to her family. She needs to know budgeting, struggle, time management, etc. I want her to learn that from watching me go to work everyday and still make IT work.

I am aware that she hears me mock myself and make negative comments about my weight or my appearance on a bad day and I work to try to be positive for her sake. I try to remind myself that she doesn't need me to be thin, pretty, or perfect. She wants me to be me.

I recently stumbled upon this show on Netflix. Granted, I bounced around on episodes, but the message was clear. Reese Witherspoon contacted and interviewed women strong in their fields who empowered other women and inspired her. Each episode had the, "Ohhh, Aaah" factor. 

I loved it. I felt strong. I felt confident. I felt inspired. THIS is what I want for my daughter. I tried to get her to watch an episode, but she's only 8 so she just wasn't feeling it quite yet! To anyone with a daughter, watch an episode. You will love it!

Irony

My baby girl is sick. She slept in late, napped early and laid around in between with a ton of construction paper, markers and washi tape. Oh, the little things that can make a kid happy. Since I had the day off I decided to check out Netflix. If you haven't watched Working Moms yet, you must! So, the irony of me being a working mom and taking the day off with my sick kid then watching a show called Working Moms... you get it :) The first 5 minutes are filled with nudity and F bombs. Be advised if you don't like that kind of humor. Me, on the otherhand, I was dying of laughter. It was hilarious! Huge props to Netflix for getting working moms who nurse their babies correctly. Those were dark days, folks! Rough. Watch the show. You will thank me! And fingers crossed my baby girl feels better by tomorrow.
