Home School

Whether you're completely dreading it or can't wait, the new school year is just around the corner! I have several friends who are teachers, and I was noticing that they all...

Friendship Day

I know that every time we turn around it's a new "national ______ day!" holiday...but there's one that I think is worth a little extra effort! August 6th is apparently...

Summer Reading

Sun Screens

By this point in the summer, I'm getting tired of applying sun screen for every pool, splash pad, and sprinkler adventure! Fortunately, these super cute rash guards protect the little...

Up, Up, and Away

I remember when the movie "Up" first came out: the hilarious characters, the amazing colors, the heartwarming love story, and above all, the idea that "adventure is out there!" And...

Starry Night

Our youngest, Livia, is currently in a teeny-tiny little nursery. She doesn't need anything bigger right now, but I do want it to look like a cozy little girl's room,...

Mother's Day Ideas

This feels kind of funny to write since a lot of you are mamas yourselves, but feel free to pass it along to your husbands or big kids who might want...

Easter Table

Last year I collected some of my favorite ways to decorate Easter eggs - and they're still my favorite! So this year I'm thinking about the rest of the table,...

Cooking with Kiddos

I realized something today, as I made muffins with my three-year-old: cooking with her used to drive me crazy, but now we both actually like it! So I tried to...

Chalkboard Wall

I love, love chalkboard walls! They're the answer to blank space, constant entertainment for the little ones, and with chalk markers, you don't even have to worry about the dusty mess that...

Diaper Bag Obession

Ok, I think it's safe to say I'm totally obsessed with my Lily Jade Diaper Bag. This is on my run not walk list for sure. It's chic, big enough...
