what a typical day's schedule looks like for RIO + SOL, my 4 month old twinnies 👶🏻👶🏻⁣
⁣
7:45/8am: wakeup, diaper change⁣
8-8:15am: nursing session 1 ⁣
8:15-9am: playtime⁣
9-11:30am: nap 1 (always the longest, most reliable nap)⁣
11:30-11:45am: diaper change, nursing session 2⁣
11:45-1pm: playtime, sometimes I also put them in a bouncy chair and they watch me make lunch⁣
1-2:30/3pm: nap 2 this nap sometimes is a 2-hour nap, but usually only 90 minutes⁣
3-3:45pm: nursing session 3⁣
3:45-4:30pm: excursion! usually this is when I go for a cup of coffee or run some errands and take them out (if it's not too frigid 🥶)⁣
4:30-5/5:15pm: nap 3 (always a cat nap, no longer than 1 hour, but usually just 30-45 minutes) ⁣
5:15-5:30pm: nursing session 4 ⁣
5:30-6:30pm: playtime, Lu comes home at 6:30, dinnertime with the kids, it's the craziest part of the day when everyone is home ⁣🤪
6:30-7:15pm: bathtime, massage, sleep sacks, nursing session 5, BED.⁣
⁣
I'd say 90% of the time lately, this is what our days look like! 🙏🏼 I wish it was warmer out so we could get out more, but their wake windows are really only 70-90 minutes still, so it's tough to do anything other than a quick errand anyway (although if I really need to get out, I'll let them take a nap in the stroller!) ⁣💤

VEGAN ONE POT CREAMY PASTA with AIR FRYER VEGGIES, you saw me make it on stories and now it's officially on the blog and ready for you to make over and over again! 👏🏼🤩

the sauce is creamy thanks to coconut milk and broth and made tasty with dried Italian herbs, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, and lemon juice! 🍋

you can switch this one up by swapping in different vegetables depending on the season (I went with a wintery mix obvi!) change the pasta shapes too - a macaroni or farfalle would be nice!

and while, yes, you can roast the veggies, the air fryer is so easy, much quicker, and gives just the slightest bit of crisp! grab the recipe and all the yummy details on the blog (link in profile, always!) 👆🏼 ...

it’s hard getting all 4 kids (and 2 adults! 😂) out the door, especially when it’s cold and there’s a lot of bundling to do, but it’s always worth it. 🥶

living in a city, you don’t see many families with more than 2 kids (because after that, they smartly move to the burbs 😂) so being out with all 4 of our kids always brings plenty of stares, dropped jaws, and comments like “wow, you have your hands full!” 🙄 we certainly do, and I wouldn’t change it for anything. 👶🏻👶🏻👧🏻👦🏻 we weren’t sure we wanted to go for a third, and now I can confidently say that I can’t imagine less than 4 kids 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m so grateful.

and fun fact: when Lu and I first started dating, I told him I wanted 5 kids and he wasn’t scared off 😅😅 he wanted a big family too, so I guess we manifested this zoo 🐘🐅🦓🐆🦒🦍 happy sunday! ...

okay, we're almost one full month into 2022 and if you set an intention of cooking more healthy meals at home and you're running out of ideas or just simply already burnt out (I've been there!), I'm here to save your day with these AIR FRYER SALMON TZATZIKI BOWLS with LEMONY KALE and @seedsofchange! #SeedsofChangePartner

sounds kinda fancy, but with a couple convenience items like @seedsofchange, you can have a nutritious, filling, and flavorful meal in literally 20 minutes.

I love @seedsofchange's rice pouches, because they're organic, come in a variety of flavors so they inspire me to cook differently, and they're a social mission-driven company, planting seeds through school growing programs around the country!

we LOVE the Quinoa & Brown Rice with Garlic pouch- it has a great texture from the blend of rice and quinoa and just enough garlic and seasoning to make it more exciting than just some steamed rice.

Air Fryer Tzatziki Salmon Bowls with Lemony Kale
Serves: 4

Ingredients
4 salmon pieces (3oz each)
salt and pepper
4 cups finely chopped curly kale
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup pitted and sliced Kalamata olives
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup sliced cucumbers
2 @seedsofchange Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic pouches
tzatziki, to serve (about ½ cup)

Directions
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Spritz the air fryer basket with cooking spray and add the salmon. Cook for 12 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your preference.

Meanwhile, prepare the bowls. Place the kale into a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and massage with your hands for 1-2 minutes until wilted and softened, then add lemon juice and salt and pepper. Divide the kale, quinoa, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta, and cucumbers evenly among 4 bowls.

Once the salmon is done, prepare the @seedsofchange rice per package instructions (90 seconds in the microwave.) Divide the rice among the bowls and top each prepared bowl with the finished salmon and a couple tablespoons each with tzatziki. Serve. #BeASeedofChange ...
