It was the happiest day of my life when I graduated college, but boy oh boy, only rivaled by watching my son finish his degree and graduate this past week.⁣ ⁣ I rarely show kids on this channel. but I asked permission to share this great photo (thank you @photography_hill)... because I am just. so. proud.⁣ ⁣ This one struggled with high school. Classes that weren't important to him just did. not. matter. But, he still got a full ride to the university and studied SO hard while he was there.⁣ ⁣ Computer science isn't an easy degree. He struggled with a lot of the classes, and trying to make the money to keep up with the tech he needed was a struggle.⁣ ⁣ He actually worked at Chipotle the entire time he was at school. They were flexible towards his schedule, even if he wasn't their biggest fan.⁣ ⁣ I'm just so crazy proud of this kid. Just wanted to say that all those tough times that you think you'll eat your young are worth it. Which is a good reminder because son #2 isn't my favorite lately.... ;)⁣ ⁣ Congrats El Presidante (that was his code name on the blog a LONG time ago because he was the student body president in 5th grade). Love you SO much!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #instamommy #dailyparenting #momblog #strongmom #thestruggleisreal #motherhoodunfiltered #momstyle #momssupportingmoms #thisismotherhood #momboss #motherlove #dailyparenting #mommyhood ...

Let's chat about a BINDER for your recipes. My favorite organizing guru (don’t worry I have a post to come about my favorite Youtube organizing channels) @alejandradottv has long recommended the Staples Better Binders. We had a “basic” binder — but the edges were coming apart. My recipe binder is well used, and well loved! The better binder is reinforced with rubber’ish type material on the corners. I can tell it will last for a while of love. It has good pockets on the front and backs and the rings are well made and open easily, I really like them! I got the two inch binder. I felt like the 3 inch would be too hard to use, and if I had that many recipes, it was time to pare down. What do you put your recipes in?

Mmmm, we're putting SO much stress on ourselves, on vacation and often summer in general. I loved this podcast with my friend Lara @overstuffedmom -- lots of good chat about the things we learned from having summers with our kids.⁣ ⁣ You can find this episode in your favorite podcast player (leave a review!) on my home page, through the link in my profile or right here: https://www.pullingcurls.com/podcast-140-summer-fun/⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #parenting⁣ #parentlife #kidlife #momsofinstagram #mummyblogger #mumblog #parenthood #instamom #moms #motherlove #mothership #motherslove #motherday #lovemom #momsofig #motherdaughterlove #mothermonster #imom #lovemomblog #motherland #mothercare #mothers #motherson #hipstamama #parentsofig #wahm ...

Did you know I have a FAVORITE Dish cloth! I have searched high and low for a great dish rag. I even took note of what people used in their own home that I liked. For a long time I used the Ikea burp cloths I had bought my now 11-year-old but as you can imagine they were getting a bit threadbare, and weren’t holding up like they used to. We were getting set to get new counters (we previous had almond Formica countertops which is a post for itself) — and I knew I wanted new dish cloths to get started on the right foot. So, I started looking at Amazon. I had previously looked at stores and found mostly terry cloth, or thick microfiber which I knew I wouldn’t love. Here are the things I wanted in a dish cloth: ➼ Easy to wring-out (my kids aren’t great at this, and if I’m being honest — when I’m in a hurry I’m not great at it either). ➼ Washed well, odors and stains wouldn’t stick around, and it handled washing well (didn’t fall apart after just a few washings) ➼ Cheap — I didn’t want to spend a ton on them ➼ Not too large. Larger dish cloths seemed even harder to wring out plus they take up room in a drawer that we just don’t need. A smaller one would suffice (but not TOO small) Obviously, I’m picky.

Creating a cleaning schedule entirely changed my life. I was a working mom who was overwhelmed by all the mundane tasks I needed to do when I was not at work. Every moment was filled with me feeling like I wasn’t getting “it all” done. I made a weekly cleaning schedule and those feelings disappeared. Thankfully. BUT, that’s because I created one that worked for ME! Here are a few of your options in creating a cleaning schedule that works for you: 📌Daily cleaning schedules — come up with a routine you do each day that helps get to those daily tasks that need doing. 📌Weekly cleaning schedules — list all the jobs you need to get done weekly and then pencil them into the days of the week. 📌Monthly/quarterly cleaning schedules — maybe you’re struggling with those less-important jobs, that only need to be done once a month or quarterly. These are often-forgotten jobs, and a lot of people start HERE as they feel like they have a handle on their regular cleaning.
