Sometimes your lack of consistency isn’t because of lack of discipline.

In my book, Everyday MAGIC, I talk about how you can only do so many things in a day because you’re a person not a machine.

Also, consistency looks different for all of us depending on what season we’re in. If you have a newborn, consistency shouldn’t be a priority. Sleep should.

Yes, sometimes lack of discipline is why we lack consistency.

Other times it’s lack of:

- rest
- support
- bandwidth
- time

May we all be mindful and keep consistency in perspective and make room for it based on the current season in our lives.

When I was 13, I used to go to the skating every Friday night. It was the very first time, my very strict parents let me go out without supervision and gave me a 9:30p curfew. It was a very big deal and certainly a core memory of mine.

Since middle school though, I had never skated. Last year, we took the kids but Christian was too little to skate so I sat with him while Chris skated with the girls.

So when Caliana started asking to go again last month, we promised her we would take them. I won’t lie - I wasn’t looking forward to skating. I knew I’d have to pretty much learn all over again while helping the kids and it low key overwhelmed me. I was sure it would’ve left me depleted.

Y’all - I was so WRONG. Being back at the skating rink was a joy. It was fun to see my younger kids learn how to skate and watch my oldest become noticeably better. I absolutely was a beginner skater out there - but that was refreshing. Learning how to do something at square one simply just because was enlightening. It allowed me not to take myself so seriously and simply be present in the moment.

And so in a moment where I took my kids skating so they could simply have fun, I let my guard down, had fun being a beginner and felt like a kid again.

The absolute best.

Charcuterie is a crowd pleaser. Especially when cheese and fruit are involved.

I had guests visit from out of town today for a few hours and this is the board I made for them to prevent them from becoming hangry.

Highly recommend.

Last year, I started writing my kids handwritten love notes a couple times a month in personalized notebooks.

It’s true what they say - the days are long and the years are short. It’s hard to believe that my oldest will be an adult in the next decade. My hope is that I mother and lead them in a way that always makes them feel seen, safe, heard, loved & important. For good measure, I pray these notes remind them of sweet childhood memories & the love I had for them in every one of them.
