Life as a working mother during the quarantine era has been challenging. When I start my day and feel flustered, overwhelmed, and not sure what to do, I typically know I'm burnt out. I want to share some tools I’ve been using in my life to help manage this pandemic burnout in the hope it might help you too!
Happy Friday loves! For this HOTW, I wanted to share a couple of my fav mindfulness tools to use with kids brought to us by the beautiful, Ashley Graber. She was on this week’s IGNTD podcast and had so many amazing advice for parents wanting to instill mindfulness in their home. Read on for more!
Happy Earth Day, Philosophie Tribe! One of the best ways to ensure that our earth stays beautiful is by teaching our babies to love and care for it as much as we do. Here are 5 ways that I share my passion for Mother Nature with Kai and Leo and hope to pass it on to them!
Instead of creating a “healthy diet” for your kids based on limitations and rules, show them how to eat from a place of LOVE: love for themselves, their communities, and their larger world—not to mention love for ridiculously yummy superfoods! I guided Kai and Leo to fall head over heels for healing, nourishing dishes, drinks, + treats, and YOU can do the same with your kids!
I love Valentine’s Day week, as I see it as an opportunity to not only appreciate romantic love with my hubby, but also celebrate EVERY type of love in my life—love for my kiddies, love for my whole tribe of family and friends, + self-love. I began our ♥WEEK OF LOVE♥ with sweet little gestures for the kiddies to remind them of how special they are + what they mean to me. Read on for a sprinkling of inspiration on how you can do the same for your loves + add some ♥♥♥s to your week!
It’s no secret that kiddies ♥ summer. Who can blame them? The warm-weathered season ushers in DAYS OF RECESS, sandcastles, watermelon juice, splashing in the pool, and more time hanging with their mama + papa! Transitioning back into school therefore takes a little effort, especially for kids who don’t naturally gravitate towards classroom learning. To help your kids embrace learning + make the most of their school year, check out these tried-and-true tips!
A new study on the effects of exercise on children’s development was recently released and the results indicate that regular physical activity not only helps our kids develop strong, healthy bodies, but also help them develop more powerful brains as well!
While giving the kids an iPad or setting them in front of the TV may seem like the easiest way to keep them entertained, there are so many simple, inexpensive activities that you and children can do together that don't involve a screen. As a mother committed to my children's growth and development, I do my best to find activities for them that are creative, educational, and physically-engaging and here's just a few of my favorites.
