I’m Wishing – A Snow White Parody

Well, with Elsa being such a hit, I decided to use this extra time at home as a creative outlet for my inner Disney Princess.

b1b0208e-90df-4806-b8a9-b16cb0aaaef2That’s right, I made ANOTHER video.

This time, the ORIGINAL of the Disney Princesses, Snow White, was the star of the show.

After creating this video, I realized just how underrated Snow White is when compared to all the other princesses.

Listen, Snow White has to sing SO MUCH HIGHER than any other princesses…this girl deserves some real applause, those notes are NOT easy to hit.

Stay At Home – A Frozen Parody

Laying in bed on night, my mind could not shut itself off enough for me to fall asleep… this is when I came up with the idea of parodying a Disney Princess song into #Coronavirus videos. 

Obviously, starting with Elsa was the best idea. Luckily for me, turning “Let it go” into “Stay at home” came naturally.

The next morning I got to work coming up with the lyrics and videos shots I would need to make this little PSA video.

Full make-up, a wig and costume, and an iphone of takes later — this little gem was created.

#SelfLove2020

IMG_0465Everyone has a New Years resolution, but let’s be real…most of those resolutions fizzle out come February and we are left beating ourselves up about it until the next year rolls around.

In 2019, my resolution was the prioritize myself more; Take time for myself, work out, brunch with friends… things I had been putting to the side since I became a mom.

In 2020, I wanted to continue on from my resolution prior… this year, my resolution is to love myself again.

Yup, SELF LOVE. That is what I want to accomplish this year.

I have started this year with continuing the prioritization of myself – working out, spending time with friends and over-all doing things that make me happy.

The majority of what I don’t love about myself comes from my mom-bod. This body grew and birthed and fed two beautiful baby girls. It deserves a lot more respect and love than I have been giving it.

So, you bet I am going to buy those shorts and love these thighs. And I will buy the form fitting dress that accentuates all my curves, and love every roll and curve I have.

Why? Well, because…

I AM BEAUTIFUL.

I AM VALUED.

I AM WORTH IT.

And because I should be damn proud of all the changes this body has made and how much work this body has put in, especially in the last 4 years.

So, here’s to #SelfLove2020. Time to start loving ALL of yourself, not just bits and pieces.

My first Momcation!

img_0718My bag is packed. Outfits picked out. Hair washed and straightened. Diapers and snacks stocked up.

Tomorrow is the day, I am flying to NYC for the weekend to visit my sister — BY MYSELF!

No kids. No husband. Only me, Jordan, enjoying a weekend of being more than just a mom.

My sister is a crazy organizer (love you!) and has the entire weekend planned out by the hour in a nice, neat, color coded, excel itinerary.

We are site seeing, eating tons of delicious food, seeing FROZEN ON BROADWAY, and of course…drinking!

Don’t get me wrong — I will miss being away from my girls. This will be my first weekend away since…well..becoming a mom. And I have never been THIS far away from them. So, yes, I will miss them and it will be hard. But this mama NEEDS a little time to herself. 

*As seen in this picture of the conversation I had with my sister this morning*

As I mentioned in my last post, I am really working on self-love this year. And while I have focused more on my physical well-being, mentally I am still in tired-mom-brain-all-the-time mode.

If you are a mom, you understand. Mom guilt is a real thing and it creeps in any time you try to do something for yourself. Planning a weekend away and leaving the kids at home with your husband?

SO MUCH MOM GUILT.

But there comes a time when every mom needs to tell the guilt to get over itself and do something FOR YOU!

So, this trip will be about just having a good time, making memories with my sister and the two of us taking on NYC.

Goodbye mom guilt, HELLO New York City! 😉
