How To Get the Coastal Grandma Look in Your Home

I've always been a huge fan of the grandmillennial style, long before I had any idea what it was. Growing up, I loved my Gran's "maximalist" way of decorating. It felt so cozy and warm, in stark contrast to my mom's favorite all-white-everything. No hate! The grass is...

Life Changing Hair Products For Toddlers

Clean Toddler Hair Care Both of my babies were born with a head full of hair, but so far, Lou's hair doesn't come close to comparing in thickness and texture. Annie has always had the most beautiful, challenging head of hair. Locks like these require a lot of love,...

Walmart & Target Outdoor Deals

Last year was a big year for our backyard - we build a new deck! Combine that with the epic play set my parents gifted Annie for her second birthday and we had the opportunity to transform our backyard into a toddler's dream. A quick trip to Target and the...

My Favorite Instant Pot Chicken Recipe

It took me a while to find the sweet spot with my Instant Pot. It's kind of an intimidating device! Plus, in its infancy, there was not a whole lot of information out there about how to experiment with it, just very strict and specific recipes. Cue me getting the burn...

5 Cleaning Products That Make Mom Life Easier

I recently cleaned out the cabinet under our sink (holy cleaning product explosion). I realized that I had only opened that cabinet to get two things in MONTHS - dishwasher tabs and hydrogen peroxide. Otherwise, every other product under the sink had gone untouched...

This Amazon Hack Cut Our Toddler’s Tantrums in Half

One thing I was definitely not expecting out of toddlerhood was the fact that putting a time limit on anything - getting out the door, taking a bath, going to bed - was going to cause a major breakdown. Of course, no toddler wants to go to bed. But putting Annie down...

3 Month Old Feeding and Nap Schedule

There is no fussiness that can't be fixed by taking a baby outside or putting her in water. And for both of my kids, that has proven to be very, very true. When I was home with Annie for the first few months of her life, I was obsessed with her milestones, her...

How To Take Better iPhone Pictures of Your Kids

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnbPvTB7ZRE See the pictures in action that I printed using Framebridge here! When it comes to family photos, I swear by our family photographer, Sarah K. Photography. But if I booked her as often as I'd like to, I wouldn't take home a...

The Crazy, Fast Labor and Delivery of Baby #2

I actually had my makeup done for this baby. Quite the difference from baby #1. Everything about this pregnancy and this labor and delivery experience was night and day from my first. I guess that's why I thought I was having a boy! The only consistent thing was the...

Making The Transition from One Child to Two

Meet baby lou! How long do you think it takes to start getting used to the sound of things like, "my kids," or "my girls?" Apparently, a lot longer than three weeks. Every time those words escape my mouth, I can't believe it's our reality. We have two kids! We've only...

Clean & Decorate With Me: AB’s Tea For Two Birthday

I officially have a two year old! And even though her party wasn't everything I imagined it would be a year ago (my sister at I had dabbled with the idea of saving up for a band and making it an "adult party," don't judge) I was very relieved to have something a...

Ooey Gooey Strawberry Cake

We have had quite the year. Lots of changes, and a lot going on. But one thing has remained the same - I was craving strawberry cake. I didn't get it for my birthday, and we pretty much missed our anniversary altogether. (It was a crazy season at work.) And then we...

5 Rituals To Stop The Winter Blues

A watched pot never boils. And I should know, I boil water for tea at least once a day this time of year. If I walk away from the pot, it'll boil over in a second. If I stand and wait for the water to get hot, it takes ages. Summer is filled with activities that...

9 Things and Where I’ve Been

Having two kids is no joke. I don't think it matters if you have one or seventeen. Being a mom, or a stay at home, work from home mom in my case, is really difficult stuff. It's the most rewarding and terrifying job I've ever had, and I don't think there has been a...

20 Week Pregnancy Update and Baby #2 Name Reveal

Question #1: Are you having a boy or a girl? We are having another little girl! Tanner was right about this one. He was right about Annie, too, and told me so from the beginning. So, I probably should've trusted him on this one. Question #2: What did you think you...
