I don't remember the last time I read a fiction book for pleasure... |ad -- Thankfully, this Memorial Day, I had some time to read and reflect. (Thank you to all of our service members, past, present, and future. 🇺🇸) I just finished Big Swiss by Jen Beagin, which had me laughing, in tears, cringing, and eye rolling. I finished it in 2 weeks, which is pretty impressive given my current lifestyle. (Kids, dogs, illness, lack of sleep, etc.) (( @aardvarkbookclub sent me their curated selection of books; be sure to check them out. )) Read anything good lately? . . . #realmofvibes #booksinbed #bookstagram #book #books #bookworm #booklover #read #bigswiss #bookaddict #booknerd #bibliophile #reading #ilovetoread #ilovebooks #ilovereading #ilovebooks📚 #bookreview #njmom #njcreator #njinfluencer

ad | Ever wonder about your future? I’m an empath and intuitive, always trusting my gut and practicing meditation, journaling, going to church, and mindfulness. I’ve consulted with psychic mediums before, especially in times where I need clarification or clarity on lifes happenings. I had a lovely chat with Hope x3496 @psychicsource, where she answered some questions about my husband’s career, my aging dog, Bailey, and my children. She also provided me with a vivid, accurate description of my Grandma (always had a hard candy in her mouth, chubby cheeks, tall presence), who told me that she sees me struggling with life’s transitions, told me that it would all eventually be okay and that she is here with me. I miss my Grandma dearly, and she always seems to come through when I ask the psychic who is on the other side. I know it’s not for everyone, and that’s okay! Time will tell if Hope’s predictions and clarifications come to light. Her calming demeanor and straightforward attitude were greatly appreciated. Her call left me with some things to ponder, and I am really looking forward to a successful, transformational year. @psychicsource is open 24/7, so they are super flexible with your busy schedule.

ad | I LOVE being an @your_cooper member in part because of the variety; I can watch and/or listen to free educational content, hop on the once a month virtual session with my Cooper expert and other moms going through similar things, drop-in for weekly parent coaching to solve any challenge in real time, and visit @your_cooper’s IG account to learn new facts and parenting tips. I am learning so much and appreciate how Cooper cuts through the noise and gives me pertinent information in a comfortable, casual, judgment-free way. This month on @your_cooper, my husband & I have learned the following: 💙 In the Financial Literacy Assembly, I learned appropriate ways to speak to Em about earning money, and the Benji Bank principles for saving, spending, investing, and giving. 💙Play is linked to improved academic, language, and social skills, problem solving, curiosity, and math ability. I also learned about convergent and divergent toys & how to integrate both into our play time. (Our Coop group discussed everything relating to play, and I got so many great ideas to try with Em & Nick!) 💙Research shows a child may need to try a food 15 times before they like it… (macaroni and cheese mamas unite!) 💙 In the Toddler Hitting article written by Chloe Massey, it was a perfect reminder for what to do when Nicholas smacks me in the face or when Emilia uses her hands in a not-so-nice way. (Link: https://bit.ly/3O5cgip), 💙 I have also been hopping on Cooper’s weekly “Office Hours,” where I can get immediate expert parenting advice on the pretty intense questions Em has been asking me as a curious almost 5 year old. It’s a long story…but I’m learning new ways to handle these big questions and scary feelings. @your_cooper is now offering month-to-month subscriptions, so be sure to visit beta.yourcooper.com and use code REALMOFVIBES for 40% off of your membership! . . . #realmofvibes #yourcooper #cooper #cooperparenting #coopgroup #njmom #momsunite #parenting #mom #momlife #motherhood #mama #nymom #momming #parent #mothersday #parentingadvice #parentinggroup #parentingexpert #expertadvice

ad I am happy to inform you that I am partnering again with @goldfishswimschool to tell you that May is National Water Safety Month! 😨Scary fact: Drowning is the number one cause of unintentional injury-realted death in children ages one to four, taking the lives of 3 children in the United States every day 🧡 Swim lessons reduce drowning up to 88%. That's why our weekly lesson is so important to our family and learning how to swim is a non-negotiable in our home. 💙 Head to your nearest Goldfish Swim School to enroll in lessons and be sure to take the Safter Swimmer Pledge, which teaches water safety fundamentals, for a chance to win prizes, including a year of free swim lessons and a beach vacation! ➡️ Swipe to see Em get her Junior 2 ribbon and celebrate her moving up to Glider 2 and view her pledge! 🏊‍♀️ Does your summer involve swimming?

As a busy working mom of two, I have been making crockpot dishes to make dinnertime convenient for our family.    I adapted the "No Peek Shepherd's Pie" recipe from the Everyday Slow Cooker cookbook (in my Amazon store). It was a hit and so easy to make!    Ingredients:  1-2 lbs ground sausage (or beef or turkey) 🦃 1 bag of frozen peas and carrots 🥕 1 pre-packed mashed potato container 🥔 1 jar beef gravy   We served with biscuits with butter. 🥐🧈 Brown the sausage (or beef/turkey). Add to the slow cooker and mix in the frozen peas and carrots. Scoop the mashed potatoes on top, spread evenly, and add the beef gravy. Low for 4 hours.    Tips: Don't cook for more than 4 hours unless you want runnier mashed potatoes. Diced onion, garlic powder, and some Worcestershire sauce add more flavor! You can really get creative with this recipe!   Let me know when you give it a try!  .  .  .  .  .   #realmofvibes #crockpot #crockpotrecipes #workingmom #dinner #crockpotdinner #recipes #cooking #cook #setitandforgetit #dinnerisready #njmom #njinfluencer #njcreator #njblogger #30minutemeals #dinnerideas #dinnerrecipes #dinnertonight #njfood #njfoodie #foodblogger #foodreels #instafood #instahappy #kidfriendlyfood #comfortmeals
