    Giveaways :: Day 10 :: Hello There Design

    We are giving away 2 pieces of art today. One of which I have helped collaborate on, and I'm excited about its debute here today.


    hellotheredesign.png

    I've joined forces with Chloe Marty of Hello There Design to create this sweet poster {above on the left}. We've created this particular design as a little reminder to all of us parents {or anybody for that matter}, to 

    • LOVE our children with kindness. 
    • Be calm and gentle, even when times are hard. 
    • Give hugs and kisses when we really just want to give time outs. 
    • Apologize when we are wrong. 
    • Show children how to be calm, gentle and kind by being those things.

    I can say from experience that being a mom is harder than any job we will ever have. It requires more patience than our teenage years combined. We worry, we stress and we have moments of complete chaos that require us to stay calm and be leaders. 

    Even when we want to fold under pressure or give up and QUIT. We can't. Even when we want to cry and crawl in a closet and just lock the door. 

    WE CAN'T. 

    There is no other job like being a mother - full of often impossible tasks. 

    But, we are committed to this parenting thing because of LOVE. 

    I will never forget a wonderful yoga class I took a few months ago. The final words of the hour stuck with me: "may the rest of your day be peaceful and calm!" I left thinking YEAH RIGHT! Because after any workout I go home to 2 wild boys and the last thing I am is calm.

    But I decided it was time for me to try and be calm. Instead of my usual go-go, hurry hurry, rush rush, scream yell, bribe, coerce  etc. I chose to be extra sweet, give lots of hugs, be playful, happy, smiling, and gentle with a calm voice and peaceful attitude. Even when the S**!t hit the fan, I still kept my composure. Even when I was being screamed at while talking on important phone calls, I remained sweet. 

    My youngest is a little love bug. And whenever he does things he's not supposed to do or is throwing a tantrum I tend to get upset. He always cries even more after that and says "be happy mom. I just want you to be happy!"

    And then my heart melts. We hug it out and we say sorry. And then I realize that all my kids {all kids} really want is for their parents to be in good moods, to listen to them, play with them and give lots of hugs and kisses.

    Things are so much better at my house when I am peaceful. When I stick to it, ask things nicely, say please, thank you, sorry.and all with a smile, I notice the respect I give cames right back. 

    When I treat my littles ones the way I like to be treated, I notice they are MUCH kinder, calmer, happy, peaceful, spirited and can concentrate better. They act less tired, mischievous, crabby and cranky. 

    It doesn't happen overnight. And it doesn't happen everyday or as often as I'd like. But the best part about kids is they forgive. So quickly. Most of the time I do lose my cool and I do yell and I do feel like a total failure {that's part of being a parent and our life lessons}. But when I dig deep and remember my youngest sons cry for my happiness or I look at that artwork on the wall - I am reminded to start over and find that patience, that calmness - it's in there.

    We will be selling them as well on her etsy shop if you want to give one as a gift or frame one of your own. You can purchase one at any time.

    And then, shown above, is Chloe's REMEMBER THE DAY art. This poster captures a special moment in your life through a piece of artwork. Here is how Chloe describes it:

    Your wedding day. Your daughter's birth. The day your son took his first steps, said his first word, started kindergarten. The most important moments of your life deserve to be remembered in a special way. I create unique artwork that's worthy of your most treasured memories. My *REMEMBER the day* artwork commemorates your occasions by combining colors and type of important dates and words, all on a gallery-wrapped canvas or fine art print background. Hang it in your living room, your child's room, your office - anywhere you can see it and smile. 

    My love of design, and specifically typography led me to create my *REMEMBER the days* as a way to remember special events. I love creating these pieces for my customers; each one is unique and special telling a one-of-a-kind story about a day to be remembered.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
