Celebrate Mom’s With Noodles & Company

Disclaimer: This post is created in collaboration with Noodles & Company. I was provided with dinner and a gift in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. #NoodlesMO

Just yesterday my husband brought up Mother’s Day weekend and I found myself completely oblivious to the fact that it was just around the corner. That’s not uncommon for us moms, to forget about a day that is meant to celebrate us. We are so busy being mom we forget to celebrate that day! That’s why when Noodles & Company reached out to me about celebrating moms this Mother’s Day, I knew it was the perfect way to take some time to do just that!

I called a few mom friends and we were so excited to join Noodles & Co. on a Tasting Mom’s Day Style, but the weather had other plans for the big celebration. Saint Louis experience a lot of rain, therefore a lot of flooding, and some of us found ourselves stuck because the highways around us were closed. So big bummer and we had to miss out on the big event. But that didn’t stop Noodles & Co. from wanting to celebrate moms any way they could, they graciously traded out the tasting and invited us for a Mother’s Day dinner and my husband and a friend of his decided to treat their wives to a Mother’s Day Dinner at Noodles & Co.

 

Noodles & Company serves classic noodles and pasta dishes inspired by cuisines all around the world! Every dish you order is made right then with quality ingredients and fully customizable. All their ingredients are fresh and free of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives so you know that you’re getting the best when you eat there. It’s so great to know that I am getting the best when eating at Noodles & Company.

A Mom’s Night Out dinner was a great way to not have to worry about cooking and cleaning for an evening, spend some time with friends, and have a night off from being a mom (as much as that’s possible, of course). If you need a day off this Mother’s Day, Noodles & Company is offering $5 gift cards to use at a future visit for every $25 gift card purchased. A perfect way to give yourself (or the lady in your life – husbands hint hint) a night off for Mother’s Day.

To celebrate moms in an even greater way, Noodles & Company put together this gift basket with some sponsors to thank me for being a part of this. This care package features lots of goodies from Des Peres businesses including Trader Joe’s, Fannie May Candies, Great Clips, and Massage Luxe in Rock Hill. I have loved being able to partner with Noodles & Co multiple times this year and think they’re an amazing business. If you’ve never visited one, you’re missing out!

You can check them out online or follow them on Facebook and Twitter for all the good stuff. Be sure to treat yourself this Mother’s Day, because we all deserve a night off! This mom stuff isn’t easy!

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
