Motherhood can be tough: it can feel like you’re doing too much and not enough at the same time ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But if one thing’s for sure: I hope I never forget what it feels like when all three kids are cuddled up around me and it’s snowing outside (even if they’re just using me as a chair while trying to watch tv #momlife ) ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cozy motherhood moment from the holidays to the max ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m just taking a moment to pause and enjoy the craziness before the “back to work/break’s over” starts tomorrow ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This year my “word of the year” is Simplify- so I’m all about the simple things- moments/tasks/organization/whatever, and I have a feeling I’m going to have to remind myself of my word A LOT. I’d love to know- do you have a word of the year?! ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This weeks’ Catching Up With The Kelnhofers is live ?? https://sweetphi.com/catching-up-with-the-kelnhofers-73/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #motherhood #reallife #familyphotos #familyof5 #twins #milwaukeemom #boygirltwins #twinmom #twinmomlife #twinsofinstagram #twinstagram #twinmama #lifewithtwins #twinsandatoddler #boymom #girlmom #sweetphiblog #coffeetalk #coffeedate #mommyblogger #momblogger #milwaukeeblogger #twinstyle #workingmom #lifestyleblogger #workingmomlife #holidays #wordoftheyear

Post-It freezer organization method - great way to keep track of what's in your freezer, and also super flexible for meal planning! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bonus - gets the family involved in meal planning (I let Ben pick a meal and then move the Post-It). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ?Supplies: Grab some Post-It Notes (<- I love the colorful ones, but any sticky notes will do) and a pen/marker ?Take Inventory: Write everything in your freezer on its own Post-It (example: “ground turkey, 1 lb” or “freezer chicken enchilada casserole, 4 servings”) ?Meal Plan/Use: As you use the ingredient/eat the meal, simply remove the post it note. You can move post it notes up to a meal planner if that helps (this is dry erase calendar we use). ?Flexibility: If you don’t end up making the meal or using the freezer ingredient from your meal plan, simply move the post it note back down to the 'holding area' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you do any freezer organization or meal planning? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Clickable link in profile ?? https://sweetphi.com/post-it-freezer-organization-method/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #freezermeals #freezercooking #organization #makeahead #mealplanning #sweetphiblog #recipedeveloper #mealplanningideas #mealplan #familymealplanning #freezerorganization #onepotmeals #milwaukeemom #mealprep #mealpreprecipe #makeaheadmeals #mealprepideas #organizationtip #postits #mealprepsunday #postitnotes

Last year we lost a combined 130 pounds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I lost 50, and my husband lost 80. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Weight is such an individual thing. Weight is just a number, and no matter what your number, you are amazing and beautiful and worthy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel like I'm just at the beginning of my health journey, which happens to come with a lower number. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last year, I set a health goal. I had never set a health/weight related goal before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My clothes were starting to get a little tight and I found myself not liking the way I was looking in pictures. I would look and think it didn't 'look like me.' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did my husband set a health related goal? Nope! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But, enter ? and only eating what your wife cooks and some anxiety (<- you never know what is going on with someone bts), and a million other small things, and he started losing weight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not going to lie, there are times it's hard when your partner is losing weight seemingly easily without doing (literally) anything and you're trying. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Of course there were tears on my part, but when you are on the same page with your partner, it's easier than going it alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My husbands whole body shape has changed. You can completely tell just by looking at him. I am so proud of him!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I thought you couldn't tell a difference with me. Maybe it's because I literally bought the same style/color/brand of pants...just 4 sizes smaller lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have always disliked before/after photos. I don't want to look back at old photos when I happened to be a different size and associate those memories with negative thoughts. But on the same note, these photos show transformation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To say it’s slow ? is an understatement, but I feel like we're just getting started. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to read more ??
