My pandemic project has been my hair, which after 3 pregnancies fell into a state somewhere between straight and wavy—awkward for a low maintenance gal like me. So I set out to adapt the Curly Girl Method to a simple routine with minimal products and it’s been fun! Follow the link in bio for the blog to see the materials I found useful and the daily routine that activates these messy waves that I am totally digging these days. 
@drcassidy joins me on the Sage Family Podcast today where we talk about using social media with intention. One of the ways you can do that is by only following people who add value for you in this season.

Because whether we’re talking about parenting or money or social media, you always want to be watering what you want to grow. It’s such a simple and lovely visual for a powerful truth that I live by. 
New Sage Family podcast episode out with @unschoolingmom2mom with A’s to your unschooling Q’s, including: •how to get your partner on board with unschooling •what to do if your child says they want to go to school •how to respond if all your kid wants to do is stare at a screen That’s right, we’re talkin’ technology, so I’m sharing a picture of the under-sofa rolling drawer we made to contain all the video game paraphernalia 🎮. 
Raising Good Humans by @mindfulmamamentor invites mindfulness into the parenting conversation, which is a significant and integral component of gentle parenting that is often overlooked. She shares personal examples from her own journey and practical methods from experts in the field to make mindfulness accessible to all of us. Hunter joined me on the Sage Family podcast for a quality content packed episode that you do not want to miss! “Let’s be real: in our interactions with our kids, we’re usually trying to manipulate them—to make them do something. We need to change our way of thinking, from changing the other to expressing our own unmet needs.” 
From the Sage Money course: Write down one money mistake you’ve made. Now rewrite it with ownership, fact, empathy, lesson, and action. For example: “I failed to save for retirement and lost years of compound interest like a broke moron.” Becomes: “I chose (ownership) not to contribute to retirement beyond the match for the first 10 years of adulthood (fact) because I was so focused on the present season of nurturing my babies (empathy). From this experience I have learned to expand my field of vision farther into the future (lesson). I will now increase my retirement contributions to at least 15% (action). Repeat as needed anytime you feel the pain of shame or regret in parenting, homeschooling, or any other area of life.
