Motherhood Essentials: The OXO Tot Splash + Store Bathtub

There is nothing quite like bath time with a cute little babe. We’ve had so much fun over the years with all of our little ones, and honestly, it’s been so cool to see how far infant bathtubs have come.  When it comes to baby baths, there are two stages that have always been a little more nerve-racking for me: the newborn stage and the … Continue reading Motherhood Essentials: The OXO Tot Splash + Store Bathtub

The Real MVP: SSM Health Virtual Visits

Sick season is upon us, that I know to be very true. Our family just spent the last two weeks being cooped up at home, all sick with a ruthless little virus. It certainly wasn’t the Christmas break we had hoped for, but it brought with it some funny memories and a great opportunity to show our kids how to make the best of the … Continue reading The Real MVP: SSM Health Virtual Visits

And with little brother’s impending arrival, I kept thinking about how necessary … Continue reading Weekend Adventures with Lightbox Jewelry

Last weekend, our little family went on quite an adventure to make our own batch of homemade mixed berry jam. I’ve never actually made jam and I certainly don’t have any previous experience with canning, but my husband’s family has been doing it for generations and I was eager to give it a try. While canning may seem like a vintage pastime, I think it’s a pretty impressive hobby and … Continue reading Summer Canning with Ball® | Mixed Berry Jam Recipe

Gender Reveal

We can’t believe it! We are beyond grateful and incredibly excited to be welcoming another baby boy to the family! We thought it might be too good to be true to have another boy that could protect Parker, keeping her the one and only princess in the house, and grant Brady’s wish of having the little brother he’s been asking for, for over a year now. Thank you to our … Continue reading Gender Reveal
