This past year was more than I could've ever imagined. We unexpectedly lost my Dad in June, welcomed the most perfect baby boy in September, and spent the majority of the year just trying to navigate the emotional rollercoaster that is grief all while trying to survive with 4 under 5.

I Made This One Change to My Morning & It Helped Make Me a Calmer Mom
I feel like every morning has been the epitome of chaos lately. It's been kids screaming, dogs barking, babies crying, and of course cold coffee.

With Emmie's third birthday coming up in a few days (I know, CRAZY), I decided it would be fun to round up some of our favorite ideas for birthday gifts for three year olds. Some of these are gifts we've received and loved, others are ones that we've given to friends over the past few [...]

My Two Cents on Being Induced for Baby #3
It’s Official: We’re on Baby Watch! We had my 36 week appointment earlier this week and got to see Baby Girl via ultrasound for the last time before delivery. She’s estimated at 6 pounds and has some very long legs (might take after her Mama on that front). She’s officially “dropped” and head-down so she’s [...]
