VEGETARIAN ZUCCHINI & QUINOA LASAGNA, a fan favorite 👏🏼😍 the zucchini cooks to just al dente for a real lasagna-like texture and the quinoa gives this vegetarian dish a burst of protein and texture. I love making this during the summertime with fresh zucchinis and basil, but it’s amazing year round ☀️ grab the recipe up on the blog!

roma and luca LOVE to play with my makeup. 💄 pretty much, they just tickle their cheeks with my brushes 🧒🏼👧🏻
whenever my toddlers ask to wear my makeup, I immediately say, "no, you don't need makeup!" but it always makes me think: what message am I sending? that I "need" makeup? sometimes, I'll say, "makeup is for mommies' skin, your skin is too sensitive, you could get an ouchie! when you're older, you can wear it." but that's also kinda.... scary! 🤔
I haven't ever really thought of how I want to position makeup to my kids, and I'm curious.... how do you explain makeup when your little ones ask? I'd love to hear!
the crib to bed and the nap to quiet time transitions all happened within a month or so of each other for us and today on the blog, I’m sharing all about how we got through them smoothly-ish 🤪 also, as just a general thought, all of these baby and toddler transitions tend to be “easier” than we hype them up to be. I think the anxiety of the unknown makes them scarier than they are! anyway, you can check the post out on the blog today for all the details! it’s a quick but to-the-point post ✌🏼
and not to contradict myself 🙈, but I need all the tips for putting toddlers together in the same room, which I’m going to have to do soon, so we can start preparing the twins’ nursery (we’re planning on moving Luca into Roma’s room and using Luca’s room for the twins, because it’s larger.) moms/dads who have done it - what’s the secret?! 🤔

a month or so ago, I was so tired of falling asleep on the couch with Lu, half watching a show, half scrolling our phones. 🙄 the next day, someone told me that @danwhitemagic was offering an online version of his show and I signed us right up! and tonight is the night 🎟 we made cocktails (a mocktail for me, of course - grapefruit and lime fizz) and ordered in after the kids went down. show starts in an hour and I’m so excited, I even picked out something cute to wear earlier today 💓 which dress should I wear? 1 or 2?!
I’ll let you all know how it goes over on stories. honestly, I’m just happy to not be couch potato-ing it for a night! happy friday!
