Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! My children are now 6 and 4 and though I've gotten a ton of questions about the topic, I've never dedicated a full post to potty training - until now! Potty training has so many ups and downs and each child is so different - but the biggest lesson I learned throughout the process is that ...

How To Get Rid of Your Child’s Pacifier
How to get rid of a pacifier has been a highly-requested post, so after this same method worked for both of my children, I feel confident enough to recommend it. 2.5 years old felt like the right age for both kids to start talking about getting rid of “paci.” Both Harper and Lincoln used pacis from the time they were born (they both loved the MAM ...
Our Playroom Reveal!
When we were house-hunting while I was pregnant with Lincoln, one thing that really sold us on our current home is that we’d have a dedicated play space. When we toured the model, we couldn’t believe how large the game room/play room/bonus room was. Though it has slanted ceilings since it’s technically a finished attic, it has a ton of natural ...
One of My Favorite Online Shops + A Giveaway
This post is sponsored by Jane, a website I’ve been shopping on for several years. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. When I became a first-time mom and was nursing and pumping around-the-clock, in between ordering diapers on Amazon, scrolling through social media and reading news articles and blogs, I was also partaking in a little ...
Festive Casual Outfits for Toddler Girls
Ever since I had children, I think I have way more fun shopping for them than I do for myself -- especially when it comes to festive holiday outfits! I picked up the cutest sparkle peplum tunic for Harper at Nordstrom recently -- it also comes in sparkly red and ivory. Harper said this tunic reminded her of Elsa, so I basically felt like mom of ...
How to Make Surprise Eggs for Your Kids + What to Order
I was blown away by the amount of direct messages on Instagram about the surprise eggs Kevin put together for Christmas this year. Kevin has always been a really thoughtful gift-giver and the kids are going to freak when they see these! I can't wait to see their faces on Christmas morning when they realize they have their own surprise eggs to ...
Favorite Fall Styles for Kids + A Family Day at the Farm
Every fall, we visit Old MacDonald's Farm in Humble to visit the pumpkin patch, feed the animals and go on pony rides. This was Lincoln's first year to go as a walking, talking toddler, so it was extra fun for all of us! We were thrilled to finally (no really, FINALLY) get some cooler weather in Houston last week so I was able to dress the kids in ...
Disney World…Again!
Guess what?! We’re going to Disney World again…and this time, it will be all four of us and we can't wait! I realized that I never really blogged our last Walt Disney World trip other than sharing a few photos, so I thought it would be fun to reflect back on it and share some highlights as we look forward to this next trip. I have to say the ...

Chicco BravoFor2 Stroller Review (The Stroller You’ve All Been Asking About) + A Trip to the Zoo
When I shared some videos on Instastories & Snapchat recently of some outings with the kids, I got so many direct messages asking about our new stroller--- the Chicco BravoFor2. Now, before we get into this review, this post is in partnership with Chicco, but as always, this is my full and honest review of this stroller and how it works for us ...
