Today we're tackling some sideline hurdles.  Today’s convo may feel a little uncomfortable, and make you really start to ask some important questions, and that’s exactly what it’s intended to do.  I’ve found that the more uncomfortable I get with something, the more likely I am to do something about it and start making changes that will truly help to make a difference.

We’re fresh into the month of February, the 1st Tuesday of the month to be exact, and we’re welcoming in Sports Mom Wellness month here at Sideline Society; and this is gonna be our 1st official Real Talk Tuesday.

Let's dig in and get real with our wellness and self-care in today's episode.

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher and Google Play.

Many of the bonds we make are on a field, a court, or track somewhere. ▪︎ For you it might be a pool or a rink. No matter the location there are teammates, coaches, team parents, opponents, even between brothers. ▪︎ And some people wonder why we choose to spend so much time on sports. ▪︎ Here's to a memorable season full of hardwork and RESPECT FOR ALL.
Can somebody please tell me where the time has gone?! How is it that one day your cringing at the thought that you have to wait two more years before you get your license so you can drive to the mall with your friends and what seems like the next your baby sister is twenty-one and driving your baby boy to the mall to hang out? It really makes you think about the things that we allow to fill our time, and how that time is being taken away from the moments and the people that really matter. That's what being a sports mom does for me, and that's why it's my mission to help other moms do the same. Are you living for your mission? #lifestooshort
I swear Eli is the most chill little kid on the sideline... give him his little chair, an umbrella to keep the sun off of him, one @hotwheelsofficial, maybe two, don't forget a nice chilled beverage and he's good to go, until halftime that is! Lol . How do you keep your little ones happy on the sideline??! . . . . #littlebrother #sidelinelife #sidelinesociety #boymomlife #boymomsrock #littlehands #throwbackthursday #throwback #lastseason #curlyboy #curlyhairdontcare #boymom #sportsmom #sportsmomlife #youthsport #instaboy #mamasboy
Gimme all the pics. Don't you just LOVE finding old pictures that you forgot you had and the instant you see it it takes you right back to that moment! Here's @alvarado_express84 and I at the movie theaters BEFORE kids! Whoa, I know!! Haha Who am I kidding, I was knocked up with Ju in the pic, you just can't see the bump! Lol 🤣🤰🏾 Grateful for this #waybackwednesday flashback.. Has anyone figured out how to slow down time yet? This is getting a little scary!
Reposted from @jennakutcher... Cause YES... YES TO TRE WHOLE THING... ❤ "Sorry to interrupt your endless scrolling, but if you're reading this: I hope you feel your enough-ness today. No really, I do! I sat today trying to script pretty things, funny things, witty things but there I say wondering, "What do I need to hear today?" I need to hear that I am enough, just as I am. • I need to be reminded that the imperfect is meaningful. That I am pretty enough, successful enough, talented enough, creative enough, skinny enough, kind enough, given enough, loved enough, encouraged enough... Today, I think we just need to take a step back and bask in it all. • We are enough, we have enough, and we can bless others in our enough-ness, no matter that what looks like for us. When we come from a place of "enough" we suddenly give other's permission to do the same, to simply show up. • Tag three friends today who you want to shout from the rooftops that they are enough! Or just raise your hand if you needed this, too! Interrupt someone's day today with some encouragement, pay it forward! • 🙋🏾‍♀️🙌🏾 . . . . #Iamenough #quotestoliveby #quotes #igquote #wordsofwisdom #jennakutcherquote #mommyblogger #mommyblogging #igdaily #payitforward #supportyourfriends #raiseyourhand #showup #motherhoodinspired #motherhood #momblogger #thankyouforbeingafriend #youarebeautiful #youareenough #youareenoughmovement #loveyourself #bekind #bekindtoyourself #momlife #momentslikethese
We didn't get the outcome we were expecting from the game... 😥 London and the squad showed up, but it just wasn't our day. Love my babies, they played with a ton of heart and didn't go down without a fight. 💜💚 Win or lose our weekend sports travel trips are always a blessing. Love spending time with the boys and stopping by the beach for a bit to play in the sand. 🏖 And yet another reason why I love days that start with the letter "S"! . . . . #sportstravel #sidelinelife #sidelinesociety #youthsport #momlife #momblogger #motherhood #motherhoodinspired #beachfun #boymomlife #boymomforlife #boymom #travelsports #pme #cantwaitforsummer #vabeach #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrocks #boymomsrock #bloggerlife #blogger #lifestyleblogger #familytime #sportsmomlife #momentsofmine #momentslikethese
