• a serious instagram vs. reality moment right here! I imagine the instagram-Lindsay in the first photo has just gotten through all of her emails, put up a new blog post, folded the laundry, prepped dinner, and is enjoying a perfectly frothed matcha latte in a clean, quiet living room while Noah takes a long nap. She looks calm, organized, and productive... I like her, LOL!

But let me tell ya, that’s not the reality... toys are everywhere (swipe 👉🏼), and let’s be honest, clean laundry has been sitting in a wrinkly pile for days, my matcha latte is always cold by the time I get Noah down for a nap, most email responses start with “I’m sorry for the delay”, and dinnertime is a frenzy of wolfing down our meals while trying to keep Noah from throwing his everywhere. It feels like a particularly challenging stage these days (apparently Noah’s in @thewonderweeks leap 10) but through the exhaustion, I’m just trying to remind myself that it’s ok. Let myself stop and take a deep breath and know that not everything will get crossed of the list, but I’m still here doing the best that I can. That everything with Noah is a phase, and to hang on to the sweet moments, even if most of the day felt like a struggle. That when he takes out his frustration on me, it’s because I’m his safe space where he’s most comfortable letting out all of his emotions (you guys reminded me of that in my DMs, thank you!). These days are a serious juggle, and I wanted to share this for anyone else who is feeling it too. We’ve got this, even if “this” isn’t anywhere close to the instagram version of ourselves! 😉💛

  • Are you team thin mints or samoas? Honestly don’t make me choose, I can’t do it! But when it comes to a copycat homemade version, these Paleo Thin Mints are seriously the best! Swipe through to check out how to make them.

A few tips:
🍫Use a small cookie scoop so they’re all the same size.
🍫Once the cookies come out of the oven, press them nice and flat with your spatula… put the “thin” in thin mints!
🍫Wait until they’re totally cool before dipping.
🍫Store in the fridge or freezer because who doesn’t love a cold thin mint!? Enjoy!
