My whole life, I feel like I’ve lived in activewear. I’ve always loved to run. I’ve always been playing a sport or involved in something to keep me active. After I graduated college, I started pursuing a career as a personal trainer, which turned into being a barre and yoga instructor. So, for the better part of the last decade, I’ve worn activewear 90% of the time. And once I found Zella activewear line at Nordstrom, I knew I found a staple brand for my closet.I only tell you this to show you I have…
Every month (from here on out…), I’m going to be doing a blog post to round up my favorite items of the month! It could be anything from baby clothes, something for the home, or my favorite book.Conair Fabric Defuzzer – If you have pilling anywhere in your life, you need this little device! My couch looks brand new because of this!Photo Frames from Craig Frames – We had been looking for so many different sized frames, and this Etsy shop was everything we were looking for. SUPER affordable and great quality. You can’t beat a 20×30 frame…
Last gift guide for the season! And it was the most difficult for me…just like in real life. It’s always the men who are the most difficult to buy for, and maybe it’s because all the men in my life don’t have the love language of gifts. Even my husband said…I’d just like some alone time with you and maybe for you to do a boudoir shoot! So, if that’s your man, too, scoop up a local photographer to help you out with that and then grab a few little gifts to go…
Here are just a few fun ideas you may want to put in your own home or gift to someone else. Last year, a handful of us ladies got together for our Christmas dinner, and we had a secret Santa present like so many groups do during Christmas. Except we decided to gift a mug, a pair of fuzzy socks, and sometime else if you wanted (like chocolate), but it was only required to have the mug and fuzzy socks. It was so much fun! And everyone could use them both! So, if you’re doing something like that, maybe…
Now on to the ladies!

A little gift guide for the littles in your life…
We’ve been fighting bedtime battles ever since the girls started sleeping in the same room…about four months ago! That’s at least 120 days of arguing and picking our bedtime battles! Tell me it gets better! I know they won’t be little like this for long, but sheesh! Bedtime is wearing me out. ANYWHO! We initially traded in their twin beds for a bunk bed hoping it would help them sleep better without so much playing in their rooms. Well…it hasn’t! Even with our “set rules,” they just want to play, and then continuously come…
About a month ago, I reached out to a few of my followers and friends who said they too dealt with PPD, and asked them if they could write what it was like for them. This was written by someone I met through Instagram. Her name is Hannah, and she’s been so so sweet. When I first read what she sent me, I couldn’t stop crying, because it felt like I wrote it! She writes beautifully and explains her story so well. I was just shy of 21 when I gave birth to my first child, and…
