Strawberry Cream Coconut Cups

June 4, 2019 by elkeliving

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Do you know the “current mood” posts? Lately, my almost teenager has been snatching up my phone to make current mood selfie pictures with Instagram filters. Yes, she has to use my phone for that. Can you believe it…… she doesn’t have a phone, or an Instagram account, or snapchat, and she’s surviving just fine. Crazy, I know!  buttercups

My current mood has been, well, a little strained,  a bit negative, and overtasked. I don’t feel like this all through the day, but here and there. Having a big family, I struggle with stopping to smell the roses. As busy moms we cook, we clean, change diapers, walk the dog, work jobs, run a taxi service for our kids, clean again, landscape and garden, run errands, oh and did I mention clean?

Some of us work more outside the home, some stay home. Some have help from family and friends, some don’t. Even though there are similarities and differences, we all learn to multitask, and put on a smile even in the times that it’s hard.

Strawberry Cream Coconut Cups

Even if we don’t get the vacations and the time off I’m sure we deserve, we need to learn to stop and find joy in the small things. I’m trying to learn to let that load of laundry set while I spend 15 minutes in the sun, or spend the morning at my favorite store instead of mopping the floors, or organizing a closet.

Strawberry Cream Coconut Cups

It’s a hard thing for me, and maybe it is for you too. Stress and anxiety are overtaking a lot of people. We need to stop and smell the roses…. treat ourselves.  Take the time to make yourself a treat- hey, it could be these Strawberry Cream Coconut Cups! Lock yourself in the bathroom and hide from the kids and eat away!  It may not be a vacation to a far off island, but its making time for you in your world.

Don’t forget to drink water and get some sun. You’re basically a houseplant with more complicated emotions.
