We recently sold our house and moved in with my in-laws (read more about that here). Fortunately, my in-laws have the extra space for our little family to move in for a few weeks while we look for our forever home. And even better, they have been a huge help with helping us get the [...]

Toys We Love: Toddler Scavenger Hunt Cards
While looking for some fun games to add to the kid's Easter Baskets this year, I stumbled upon this set of Toddler Scavenger Hunt Cards. I figured why not throw them in the basket and worst case scenario the kids forget about them and they live happily ever after in the bottom of the stroller. [...]
Poolside Outfits I’m Loving
With the warm weather taking over this week, we spent the majority of our afternoons floating around the pool and exploring the backyard. The kids love the pool. All they need is some sunscreen, hats, some floaties, and they're good to go! I, on the other hand, need something that has comfort, support, and coverage [...]
Earth Day Sensory Bin
Happy Earth Day! We decided to put together a fun sensory bin to celebrate Earth Day today. It was probably one of the easiest sensory bins so far! The kids and I spent some time outside earlier and did some exploring in their grandparents backyard. They have one of the most beautiful yards I've ever [...]

Under the Sea Sensory Bin
For some reason our kids LOVE whales. Whenever we see any body of water they immediately start searching for whales and Oliver is convinced there is one living in the river where we live. So to play off their love of whales I decided to put together an "Under the Sea" themed sensory bin! Here's [...]
One Dress, Five Ways
I had so much fun rounding up my favorite maternity looks from March, I figured why not grab one of my favorite dresses and breakdown the few ways I wear it the most! This dress was a random purchase that ended up becoming one of my favorite pieces both during and after pregnancy. Every woman [...]
A Shared Room for Siblings
I loved being able to have the kids share a bedroom. Not only was it easier on me to keep them together in one space and their toys in a separate room, but they loved being able to fall asleep together every night and being able to hear their little conversations was absolutely adorable. For [...]
