Snaps from the chaos of last week 📸😮‍💨 Snaps from the chaos of last week 📸😮‍💨

Last week completely drained me. First, Ryheem was in the hospital. Then I got sick. And the wildest part? I also hit 10K followers.

I always imagined that moment would feel like fireworks…But instead, I was crying in the hospital parking lot. It was literally the happiest and hardest week of my life!!

I didn’t have the energy to cook or clean. I barely got out of my bed. I had found myself in a funk that I tried really hard to escape by baking, shopping, cleaning, even playing in my daughter’s hair. But most days, the only reason I left the house was because the boys had football practice.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy — I’m sharing it because it’s real. It’s so easy to assume someone has it all together. But the truth is: I crave community just like you do.

I love showing up and sharing my world here, but it means more than you know when I feel seen, too.

And while I’m still not fully out of it, I’m grateful. Grateful that the days don’t feel as dark. That God is a healer and a promise-keeper. And that even when I’m falling apart, something beautiful can bloom.

After three long days in the hospital, he’s finally home, resting and recovering.

Thank you all so much for your prayers, messages, phone calls, and well wishes. We felt every bit of it, and we needed it more than you’ll ever know. 🫶🏽

I don’t know exactly when it happened. When the chaos became bearable. When the joy stopped getting buried under my never ending to-do list. But here we are. Laughing. Letting go. Actually having fun. 

It’s not the easy season. But it’s definitely the good one. The fun one. And I’m learning to enjoy it while I’m in it. 

For every mama in the thick of it, I’m right there with you, but I’m here to tell you, YOU WILL WIN ❤️💦 #momlife #girlmom #boymom #motherhood #momof5 #familylife

Easy Shrimp And Veggie Stir-fry Dinner Idea

Note: The following content may contain affiliate links. See our full disclosure here.

Want to know the secret to getting dinner on the table fast? Shortcut ingredients!

I‘m currently in a season of mom life where I’m willing to save any time I can.

Making meals with shortcut ingredients, which is basically pre-packaged food, is such a huge convenience!

It’s literally the difference between spending hours and minutes in the kitchen. The minutes I save, I can use on something else that matters more to me.

So if you’re a passionate home chef, shortcut dinner ideas may not be for you, and that’s okay! 

Today’s dinner idea is for all the busy moms who, like me, need to get dinner done fast. 

This shrimp stir-fry meal comes together in 15 minutes and it’s healthy too! #momwin

Just Two Ingredients 

You’ll need a frozen bag of small, peeled, tail-off shrimp, and a large family-size bag of frozen Asian stir-fry. 

At the time of writing this, the shrimp was $6.22, and the stir-fry was only $5.98 at Walmart!!! 

With the rising cost of groceries since the pandemic, I’m not mad about this cheap dinner idea at all. 

How to Make Shrimp Stir-Fry

I first thawed the shrimp in a large mixing bowl full of cold water per instructions on the back of the bag. 

While that was thawing, I started working on the stir-fry and followed those instructions to the tee. 

You simply heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet and add half the bag of frozen vegetables to the pan. Cover with lid and let it simmer for about 12 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. 

While the vegetables simmer, begin cooking the shrimp. 

I melted about three tablespoons of butter in a small skillet before adding the shrimp. 

Season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay to taste and allow to cook for about five minutes. 

By now, it’s time to add your sauce packet that came inside the bag of vegetables to your stir-fry, then follow the remaining instructions located on the back of the bag. 

Once your veggies and shrimp are done, it’s time to mix the two together. The buttery shrimp flavor compliments the stir-fry sauce so well and tastes as if you slaved over the stove for hours!!!

I always serve this with Minute White Rice. It’s my go-to when I need to whip up a simple side dish quickly.

I hope your family enjoys this quick Shrimp Stir-fry meal as much as we do! There’s a reason I’ve kept this dinner rotating on our menu — it’s super cheap, easy, delicious, and healthy!

5 kids. 2 parents. What were we thinking? 😂🐺 5 kids. 2 parents. What were we thinking? 😂🐺💦

We spent the 4th of July weekend this year at @greatwolflodge — and it was a lot. A lot of noise. A lot of walking. A lot of snacks. A lot of towels. A lot of joy.

We had 5 kids running in 5 directions. There were moments I wanted to cry — and moments I laughed until I couldn’t breathe.

I didn’t get the perfect picture. But I got something better: presence.

Somewhere between the water slides and the late-night pizza, I caught myself watching them. Really watching them. And it hit me: they won’t be this little for long 🥺

The 4th of July means freedom. And this weekend gave me mine — not from responsibility, but from distraction. From comparison. From rushing through what matters most.

We left tired. Hair wet, suitcases messy, hearts full. I won’t remember everything from this trip. But I’ll remember how it felt. And that’s enough.

You can read all about our weekend at Great Wolf Lodge with 5 kids, including how much we spent (and saved!) over on the blog today! www.DanielleSkeaton.com 🔗 LINK IN BIO
