My first gift guide is my very own wish list and it looks a little different than years prior. Much fewer clothes, much more home decor. I suppose it all makes sense now that I work at home! It’s funny because as I look over this list, it reminds me of myself during my first year of college 15 years ago. Those were the days. … Continue reading My Christmas Wish List
There’s nothing cuter than little ones in matching pajamas, especially around the holidays. But when it comes holiday pajamas, I’ve learned that you have to buy them well in advance. I waited a little too long last year and missed out on snagging a matching set for Charlie. So while we’re cutting it close this year, there are still several adorable sets available online that … Continue reading Kids Halloween Pajamas
It’s the first official day of fall (hallelujah) and I’m celebrating with Bath & Body Works! I love everything about this time of year, especially the scents that fill our home. Pumpkin spice, warm apple cider, sweet cinnamon, pecan pie… they’re all so delicious. They make me want to throw on an oversized flannel shirt, curl up next to a foggy window and sip a … Continue reading Bath & Body Works Fall Scents
As a family, we’re doing our part to reduce single-use plastics. My kids are the future and I want them to experience a happy, healthy planet. The only way that’s possible is if we all make small changes. Because at the rate we’re going, we’ll have more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. Isn’t that a scary thought? The good news is, with … Continue reading Reducing Single-Use Plastics with Brita
Riff Raff’s Halloween collection just dropped and it’s very spooktacular! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for and celebrate with the kids. Pumpkin patches. Hay rides. Matching pajamas. Silly family costumes. Watching It’s a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Carving pumpkins. Roasting pumpkin seeds. Buying Halloween candy as soon as it comes out and then accidentally easting it all before October 31. It’s … Continue reading Riff Raff’s Halloween 2019 Collection
With school parties, trick-or-treating and all of the fun snacks in between, Halloween is a full-on sugar rush for my kids. Because of this, I always try to be mindful with their meals throughout the day. This carrot and orange smoothie is a favorite of mine and something I like to keep in my back pocket whenever the kids need a little extra vitamin C … Continue reading Yummy Carrot & Orange Smoothies
This post is sponsored by Keurig and The Original Donut Shop. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Staying positive isn’t always easy, especially in challenging or stressful situations. But the great thing about positivity is that it’s 100% in your own control. While you obviously cannot control everything that happens in your life, you can absolutely control how you react to each and every … Continue reading How to Stay Positive: 4 Smart Habits That Will Change Your Life
I’m always looking for creative ways to make learning fun for my kids. Now that Brady is in school, he loves doing activities like this when he gets home. It reinforces what he’s learning in the day and boosts his self-esteem by showing me how much he knows. And with Parker starting Pre-K in less than a year, I want to be sure I’m using … Continue reading Learning Our ABCs with Cookies

The days are long and the weather is hot. Summer is here and there’s no better time to get lost in a good book, whether you’re at the beach or curled up on your couch while the kids are napping.
