Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! Harper and Lincoln are 2-and-a-half years apart in age and at almost 4 and 6, they’re really getting into playing together lately and enjoying the same toys. I noticed that their favorite toys seem to be ones where they build, create, explore and get creative – and I thought about how these toys are ...

Transitioning Your Toddler from a Highchair to a Booster Chair
When Harper was an infant, I ordered the Boon Flair highchair (see my review here) and we used that for her entire baby/toddlerhood. Lincoln started eating solids at 7 months old and Harper was still using the Boon (without the tray) at this time because it was a great height for her to eat at our kitchen island. So, we purchased an IKEA highchair ...
Favorite Summer Outfits for Toddlers
Today I’m sharing more of my favorite kids clothes for summer from Nordstrom (see my first post here) – from everyday clothing they can wear for play to some dresses that can work for special occasions and the playground alike. On Harper: birkenstock sandals | tucker + tate peplum tee | floral sunglasses (sold out, other options here) | tea ...
The Cutest Summer Styles for Kids
There's nothing I love more than shopping for kids clothes. Harper and Lincoln's closets are an endless source of happiness for me because I love buying them adorable outfits that are also super comfy and can withstand Houston's heat. I also want to make sure the clothes last through constant washing and drying. Many of you probably shop ...
Lincoln Grey at 20 Months
It’s been way too long since I shared an update about our sweet boy who is now an active, always-on-the-go toddler. He's just a few days out from being 20 months old and I can't quite believe he will be two this fall. Lincoln is busy, active and (sometimes) destructive -- all of my fellow boy moms tell me it’s par for the course (and that dumping ...

Lately…
We had such an awesome family weekend! We celebrated Harper's birthday on Friday and mine today! I love having our birthdays so close together. Harper's birthday party is planned for next weekend since we didn't want to have it during Memorial Day weekend when a lot of families are out of town. I can't wait to see how her "donut party" comes ...
Happy Third Birthday, Harper Reese!
Harper Reese, You’re THREE today! How in the world did you grow up so fast? I am so proud of the little girl you’ve become. Every day, I’m in awe of how smart and funny you are. Your little mind is so amazing--- you constantly surprise us with your silly expressions, your ability to tell stories and your beautiful heart. This year, you became a ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! I'm feeling a little under the weather and I'm trying to drink lots of hot tea and taking Tylenol for my sinus pain. I feel like I got sick pretty quickly after returning to work the last time around, so, par for the course. I guess it's time to dig out my Neti-pot, huh? Things I loved this weekend... A happy mail day I love ...
Our Weekend + Halloween!
I guess having a newborn makes you exhausted enough to sleep through even the most intense storms, because Friday night I squeezed in every bit of shut-eye I could between feedings, all while a massive storm passed through our city. Our street flooded twice Saturday, but thankfully both times the water receded. It was all the way up to nearly the ...
