“She was an adventurer at heart; but oh how she loved drinking this tea from this mug in this chair. Oh how she loved to be home.”That quote explains me to a T. Adventure was my middle name before children, and then I saw how hard it is to just pick up and leave the world behind while I went to explore more of the world, so it’s easier to just stay and play at home. And these two little girls of ours are exactly the same. They love to go explore, find new playgrounds, travel to different…
Toddler and children’s footwear seems to be huge these days. Trendy, comfortable, and functional is huge when it comes to our kiddos, because we want them to learn how to walk properly ,but we also want them to be cute. And there’s just something about teeny tiny footwear that’s oh so cute! We’ve been lucky enough to work with Gracious May since Hallen was little. And now her Gracious May boots are being passed down to Hazel. Hallen learned to walk in her brown fringe moccs from them, so they hold a special place in my…
This past weekend was a special one. I’m sure a lot of you saw on my Instastories that it was our anniversary. Anniversaries sure look a lot different with kids, don’t they? We were lucky enough to have some friends watch our girls for a few hours so we could just go to a dinner without trying to wrangle our kids up and have a normal conversation. We went to Bahn Thai for dinner and then Vine for a drink and dessert. Thai is our food. We always try to find some fun Thai restaurant. I inevitably get…
If you remember some of my New Year goals, one of them was to swap out old products for safer versions. I’ve teamed up with Kroma to do just that! I’ve been using their cell cases for the past couple weeks, and love them. When they first talked with me about an opportunity to collaborate with them, I knew I could check something off my list to change for the new year. And let’s be honest, ladies, who isn’t motivated to check things off. I love a little checklist! And on that “make safer” checklist…
I’m not sure when the last time you went on a little getaway just to do nothing, have no agenda, except to be silly with your friends and lounge in your pjs all weekend long. It had been a while since Kevin and I had done that with our friends! After becoming parents, it takes so much to plan activities with other parents. You have to take into account overnight childcare (with people you trust), your level of comfort of being away from your kids, weekends that work out with all of you, if you can stand your friends…
It comes to no surprise that I love mommy and me pieces. I never thought I’d be the mom that wanted to match her kids ( I remember hatinggggg that as a child), but here I am, 29 years young, wanting to do a little matching with my girls. Nothing over the top or too frou frou (although they might think it is when they hit puberty). Just some subtle prints or pieces here and there. You’ll often see us wearing our favorite pom hats this winter from Melina’s Bowtique. They are SO darn cute. Even if you…
I’ve decided that every Tuesday, I want to start showing you some of my favorite baby and tot brands. That’s kind of how this whole blog/insta page started out, so I figured mayyybbbeee someone out there still wants to know where I’m getting most of the girls clothes. There are so many handmade shops out there these days, but it’s hard to know how to look for them if they aren’t on Etsy. Even if they ARE on Etsy, it’s hard to find them!One of the first shops we ever worked with…
One of my goals this year was to create a simplified life, starting with our home. I want an organized, easy to clean, and just simpler living home. So, this means cleaning out every nook and cranny. Luckily, one of my best friends was doing the same thing and even started sharing Emily Ley’s every day tasks with us for a simplified life. But, I knew that I needed to get all my rooms together as well as her little daily tasks. This weekend, we definitely tried to take it easy since everyone was flu free and we had…
