Think About This: I Matter Too

 

I am in a place in my life where I realize that my peace is my top priority. Not money, not even happiness, but peace. Money, you can always find a way to earn. Happiness is a feeling, that comes and goes. It is also a decision. However, peace... can't be bought, borrowed, or found on under the couch. So when you have peace, guard it like your life depends on it... because it does. Self care isn't selfish, it's necessary.

Best, Jessica

Why is Navy Bean and Ham Soup a great recipe for a simple dinner idea?

As a wife and busy mom of two, sometimes the mere thought of what’s for dinner is agonizing. I am tired and all I want to do is sit myself on

the couch, kick my feet up, and chill especially on Sunday evenings. Does that sound familiar? Right! You know, life can be so busy and hectic

that you have to make sure that you take time out for self-care to check in on your physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Now, I know

you’re thinking, what in the heck does this have to do with Navy Bean Soup? EVERYTHING! 

 What happens when you need a moment to check in on yourself, to rest and relax, and your kids and family are looking at you like what’s for dinner? 

Well, in walks the best ever and tastiest recipe for navy beans: Navy Beans and Ham Soup! Maybe not walking, but you get the idea. 

It’s All About the Yo Yo Days!

 In my house, we’ve started something called YoYo Day. What’s YoYo Day? Well, it is just the most genius idea and perfect solution that every

busy mom needs to have in her self care tool kit!  There’s a very smart mom blogger, who mentioned this in one of her videos. 

 Essentially Yo-Yo Day is the day that moms choose to chill or get some other needed work done and dinner takes the back seat.

 

Since dinner is taking the back seat and everyone still has to eat, on this day everyone else will need to figure out YO dinner…  YO

dinner… and  YO dinner. Hence the name, Yo Yo Day. Now, I have to be honest, I did tweek this Yo Yo Day a bit to fit our life and home.

However, you can easily incorporate this idea into your weekly weeknight dinner planning. It has become its own staple in my house.  Yo yo

days are my absolute favorite because it allows me some extra self care time. Self care is more than a bubble bath with scented bath salts.

Cooking is self care too. So I thought, what can I cook that is filling and can last a couple of days? A recipe for navy beans for the win!
