Things That Matter to Them as a Mama 🤍🌮✨ The older I get, the more I realize it’s not the “perfect” things our kids will remember…it’s the routines, rituals, and traditions we create along the way. The banners made at the kitchen table. The grocery runs together. The tiny hands helping cook dinner. The music playing while everyone decorates. The way mama made an ordinary school night feel like a celebration anyway. Tonight we hosted Cinco de Mayo with friends, and just like every holiday around here, the kids made the banner themselves 🎉 I cooked before gymnastics 🤸 so when we got home, dinner was warm, ready, and waiting thanks to my favorite 3-tray crockpot setup 🙌🏼 …Which honestly made the whole night feel easier, calmer, and way more present. Less time stressing in the kitchen = more time making memories. And one day? They’ll remember that mama always fiesta-ed with them on Cinco de Mayo 🌮💃🏼✨ School night or not. motherhood kids mom singlemom hack LTKstorytime
