Cotton Ball Easter Bunny
This project is by far one of the cutest things I've ever seen for Easter. I saw a version of it a few years ago when Oliver was a few months old and I wanted to do a little something for AJ and the grandparents to celebrate Oliver's first Easter! With the kids being a [...]
Baskets on a Budget
When looking around for some fun things to add to the kids Easter Baskets, I was blown away by how quickly it all added up! I figured since they grow out of things so quickly and tend to play pretty rough and dirty, I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on basket [...]

Our Adventures in Potty Training…
Congratulations! You’ve officially hit the most enjoyable time in toddlerhood! Kidding not kidding. This is one of the things I was absolutely dreading as a parent.
