You’ve Been Ditched. Ding Dong Ditched.

9.02.2014

Ding Dong Ditch // Free Printable // Hostess Ding Dong TreatsWe’ve all been there. Ditched. At least once or twice (or too many times to count). Trust me, someday the right one will come along and sweep you off your feet! Or just buy you dinner. If you’re lucky maybe he’ll throw in dessert. You get the point.

Until then, just hope that when you’re ditched it’s a little more friendly. As in Ding Dong Ditched. Remember when you were an innocent little (bratty) child? Remember when you ding dong ditched the elderly neighbor lady who probably exerted her daily allowance of energy to open the door, only to find that there was no one there? What a brat you were.

Me, I was so much nicer than that. It probably had something to do with not being invited to play with all the cool kids who actually ding dong ditched people, but who’s story is this?

In tribute to my uncoolness youth, I have to prove to myself that I CAN be cool. What’s cooler than ding dong ditching as an adult? DING DONG ditching. Get it? With real Ding Dongs! (Am I the only person laughing out loud at the words Ding Dongs?)Ding Dong Ditch // Free Printable // Hostess Ding Dong TreatsI’m just going to throw together a quick little treat, and politely drop it off at my neighbors front door. You know, the ones that don’t use a walker to get around, who won’t be too put out by a knock on the door. The ones who are not diabetic, so they’ll be able to enjoy this ditch. I’ll just print out the free Ding Dong Ditch Printable, hole punch a few holes, and use curling ribbon to secure it to the Ding Dongs. I wouldn’t want those Ding Dongs to go anywhere would I?!Ding Dong Ditch // Free Printable // Hostess Ding Dong Treats

Do you ever just look at your spouse and think, I Do you ever just look at your spouse and think, I really nailed it? 

Why yes, I do. 🤣🤣🤣

One of my favorite things we get to give our girls One of my favorite things we get to give our girls is perspective. To see new places. To meet different people. To experience cultures outside of their own.

Not so they grow up thinking one place is “better” than another — but so they grow up curious, grateful, and grounded. And the more of the world we see, the more thankful I become for home, for the freedoms we have, and for the life we get to build together. 

Flag tees from @sweet_peas_and_sweeties - they’re selling fast so grab yours before they’re gone!
I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I’m here to tell you this: you do not need a whole new wardrobe for vacation.

Social media makes it feel like every trip requires new outfits, a new summer closet, a new date-night dress…but honestly? It doesn’t.

I’m willing to bet you already have plenty of great options hanging in your closet. And instead of spending a bunch of money on clothes you’ll probably only wear once, maybe it’s enough to just wear what you already love.
One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍
When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.
Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so mu Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so much fun. But I think we have enough of these oyster shells at this point. 🤣

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
It’s just a little walk… It’s just a little walk…
