Stop serving champagne with dark chocolate. The ch Stop serving champagne with dark chocolate. The chocolate overpowers it. Dry champagne loves less-sweet foods; save sweeter wines for sweeter desserts. Don’t panic if strawberries look sad. They’re out of season. Poached pears or a citrus dessert are sexier and seasonal. Use butter unapologetically. It’s Valentine’s Day. This is not the moment for restraint. Warm plates = instant restaurant energy.
Five minutes in a low oven makes everything feel elevated. Buy and cook your own steak. Great steaks only need liberal salt and pepper. Prep earlier than you think you need to. You deserve to enjoy the night too. Salt + fat are champagne’s best friends. Think butter, cheese, crispy things, and anything lightly fried. Dessert doesn’t need baking. Whipped mascarpone + citrus + honey = low effort, high payoff. Cook one thing really well. A perfectly executed dish is sexier than a chaotic three-course meal. If you’re stressed, simplify the menu.

Many moms (including myself), have cut back on alc Many moms (including myself), have cut back on alcohol and reach for “plant gummies” instead-especially to unwind, sleep or take the edge off anxiety. I ended up finding out the darker side of them about 8 months ago and decided they were definitely not helping me like I thought they were… Here’s what many don’t realize:
🍃plant gummies (and alcohol too) has a biphasic effect on the nervous system. 
A small amount can feel calming at first…but regular or higher use can increase anxiety, irritability and sleep disruption over time. 🧠It also affects your brain long term and can put you at higher risk for a cardiac event. @doc_amen has alot of info on his page about this✨ This made regular use a hard no for me. Why?
• 🍃 plant gummies stimulate the amygdala (the brain’s fear center)
• It can blunt your body’s natural stress regulation
• It may fragment sleep, raising next-day cortisol
• When it wears off, anxiety can rebound harder So instead of calming the nervous system, it can quietly keep it stuck in a stressed loop. It just means your body might be asking for true regulation, not numbing. This doesn’t mean gummies are “bad” or that you did anything wrong. Will I still take a gummy for a fun mom’s weekend away? Sure. But repeated use is not for me. Have you heard about the long term effects of 🍃 gummies? What do you lean toward to relax?
Feeding kids doesn’t have to feel like a daily bat Feeding kids doesn’t have to feel like a daily battle🤍 In our home, we eat the same meals. I consistently offer new foods alongside 2–3 safe foods my son already trusts. We talk about how food helps our brains and bodies, we prioritize protein for blood sugar support and sweets are never off-limits (they just aren’t the focus). If your child doesn’t eat everything, you’re not failing.
You’re building safety, trust and consistency around food. Progress doesn’t always look like clean plates.
Sometimes it looks like repeated exposure, calm energy and showing up again tomorrow. Have you tried any of these tips before? 🍽️
Here’s the science: 
Young children don’t yet have Here’s the science: 
Young children don’t yet have a fully developed prefrontal cortex- the part of the brain responsible for impulse control, emotional regulation and reasoning. That development happens over decades, not years. Like we are talking not developed until 25😂 So when your child is melting down, they’re not being difficult or “disrespectful”. They’re dysregulated. And when we stay regulated as parents, their nervous system borrows ours. That’s co-regulation: the foundation of conscious parenting. This reminder helps me pause, soften and respond calmly instead of react. And none of us are perfect, so that’s what apologies are for🫶🏻 Save this for the hard moments🤍 Inspired by @biglittlefeelings 💖
