Okay guys. Here it is. My first gift guide of the season. I'm not going to go too crazy this year. If you saw my Instagram stories the other day, then you already know that I'm sticking to what I know for this season. What I mean by that is that for kid's gift guides I will only be sharing things that my own kids want, would like, or already own and love. I have actually even ... Read More
The Final Bumpdate | 38 Weeks, 7 Days
{diaper bag c/o Fawn Design | maternity dress} You've probably noticed that things have been a little quiet around here lately. As I near the end of this pregnancy, I've really been trying to take the time to take it all in.

How I Keep My Floors Clean with Three Kids at Home
So, here’s the thing… I’m not really a huge fan of carpeting. I have always had a deep affection for the look and feel of hardwood floors, so when we finally found the perfect house this past summer, I knew that one of the first things that I wanted to do was remove the carpet in our new home, and install new flooring. Thankfully, my husband was on board. It was ... Read More
2018: New Year, Fresh Start
{hat c/o | Maternity/Babywearing Coat} I'm a couple of days late, but I thought it was time to hit publish on a post that recapped 2017, and shared my outlook for 2018 and all that it will (hopefully) hold. I always have a hard time letting go of the holiday season, and have been known to let it linger for as long as humanly possible, but this year, I'm really looking forward ... Read More

Raising a Glass to Motherhood | #LoveoftheJourney
Things have been a little crazy around here this past month, so as you can imagine, I'm looking more than forward to celebrating National Chardonnay Day on May 25th.

A Week of Meals with HelloFresh | A Review
You can find a subscription box for pretty much anything and everything these days, so why wouldn't there be one that delivers all of the ingredients you need to make a fresh meal as well? I've been feeling rather uninspired lately when it comes to meal planning, so when HelloFresh reached out to me about reviewing their meal delivery service, I couldn't say yes fast ... Read More
Our New Favorite Diapers | Parasol Co
Can we talk about diapers for a minute? In the 4+ years since I began having babies, I have used the same brand. I never gave very much thought to it really. There are a couple of (very) well-known brands that have been around forever, and when my first child came along I just kind of went with one of them. The same went for baby wipes. You know what they say, "if it ... Read More
Six Reasons I’m Over Trying to Be a “do-it-all” Mom
{if you ever need a reminder: free printable} Once upon a time, long before I actually had children, I envisioned myself as a "do-it-all" mom. You know the type... she cooks Pinterest-worthy dinners, puts on real clothes every day, and exercises regularly. She keeps a spotless house, somehow manages to work from home, and still keeps up on all of her hobbies and her ... Read More

Having the ability to hand pick your very own "wish list" full of amazing items, for your impending bundle of joy, can be a ton of fun, but it can also feel extremely ... Read More
