Theatre went digital!! Rehearsals have started online for Kari's play which is awesome! She loves all things drama related and was very sad when all of this social distancing happened. It's her outlet, her thing, her group of friends away from school. So glad they got this up and running for the kiddos! Great job @ctw_toledo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉😊😊😊 What classes that your kids take outside of school have gone digital??? . . . #mom #momblog #happy #thenotsobasicmama #blogging #blogger #momblog #growth #kids #family #interracialfamily #interraciallove #daughter #theatre #acting #actress #drama #childrenstheatre #happymama #mama #momof2 #fun #socialdistancing #newnormal #quarantine

Excuse me, could someone please tell me what the f*** is happening??? Srsly. Just hoping this will be over soon. How's everyone doing with the madness?? Full disclosure I've eaten too many cookies and shopped a little more than I should have, my hands are dry af bc I've been washing them nonstop and as much food as I bought so we wouldn't have to go out, I don't want to cook and I'd rather go out😫. . . . #me #newpost #mom #momblog #blogging #blogger #momblogger #mama #lifestyleblog #fulldisclosure #honesty #interracialfamily #thenotsobasicmama #snapchat #selfie #quarantinelife

Not gonna lie, I miss the gym. I miss the treadmill, the stair climber, ab machines, multiple TV's playing nothing I intend to watch , but always do. Staying away from the gym has been hard, not only for the workout, but for the ME time. I now have to try to fit my workout in between work and homeschooling my kids. And by the time they are asleep, all I wanna do is sleep. Trying to do my at home workouts with @popsugarfitness , and about to climb my own stairs to try not to lose all this progress I made. How do you stay motivated when there's a break in your routine??? If you love the gym are you still going or staying away? . . . . #mom #gym #homegym #workouts #fitness #mama #momblog #blogging #blogger #momblog #lifestyleblog #blog #thenotsobasicmama #thismama #fitmama #gymlife #fitlife #homeworkout #fit #stayfit #bodypositivity #love #selflove #mamamuscles #mommymoves #me

Yep. We went outdoors yesterday, we had to take the rail off of Kohlton's crib (will post more on this catastrophe later🤦🏾‍♀️) and buy him new bedding while we search for a new bed. So yea we went out, got some vitamin D☀️☀️☀️ and had a little fun amongst this craziness. I ain't mad at it either😊😎 How was everyone's weekend?? . . . . #sun #outdoors #family #interracialfamily #love #blog #lifestyleblog #blogger #momblog #thenotsobasicmama #interracialfamily #interraciallove #love #bwwm #familytime #video #loveisblind

Since our kitchen is almost complete, I'm wondering which project I want to tackle next! I'm in a love/hate relationship with home redo projects. (I won't say Reno bc I feel like that's so aggressive and I'm not really tearing anything down, I'm just making what I have much prettier 😉) Happy Tuesday!!! . . . #mom #momblog #blogger #blog #bloglife #momlife #mama #me #homerenovation #Homeowner #kitchen #picoftheday #makeup #selfie #love #like #thinking #selfieoftheday

We did lunch today!! Had lunch at a school with my girl and it was the best! I feel like I've been going through some sort of metamorphosis...like for real, things are the most different than ever in my life right now...I have a 10 yr old trying to find herself, and a toddler trying to FIND anything he can and turn it upside down 😂😩😊 But today was great, the shift in my routine and seeing this girl interact with friends and still wanting me around lets me know that I'm at least doing one thing right😊 #mama #meandmygirl #motherdaughter #mommyblog #momblog #thismama #mom #momnymoves #mamablog #lunch #me #thenotsobasicmama #love #heart #smiles #blog #lifestyleblog #Longbob #haircut #2020 #newpost #happywednesday #ihaventpostedinforever

One of my very favorite photos from our holiday card shoot...having a daughter is one of the most special relationships I'll ever have, this 10th year has been very different but I try to do my best to make sure she knows I'm here for it all, good or bad, big or small. That's what mama's are for😊♥️♥️ . . . #motherdaughter #mommy #mom #holidays #christmas #meandmygirl #mama #momblog #lifestyleblog #love #like #instagood #blog #blogger #thenotsobasicmama
