I realized this week that I haven’t shared a lot of new beauty finds recently – so it’s time to remedy that! I’m sent a ton of PR packages by various cosmetics and beauty/skin cafe brands (which I’m so appreciative for), but relatively few make it onto the blog as favorites. I often use a product for weeks or months before ever mentioning it – I ...
Our New Tempur-Pedic LuxeAdapt Mattress
This post is in partnership with Tempur-Pedic. When I moved to Houston over ten years ago, one of the first things we purchased after moving into our first home is a new mattress. We’ve had that mattress since 2007 and for the last couple of years, we’ve both kept saying it was time for a new one, but never pulled the trigger. Kevin loathed ...

O N E Old Navy is having an amazing sale right now – 40% off for cardholders. I took advantage and ordered myself some new pixie pants in blush, white, chambray dot and yellow with daisies. These are the BEST work pants (see my review here) and I wear them daily. They fit TTS (I wear a 4 regular) and I prefer the full-length ones over the ankle ...
Pelvic Floor Issues & Diastasis Recti + How to Get Help
I have long wanted to share a post about pelvic floor health – especially since it’s an issue most of us deal with after pregnancy and child birth. It’s also a subject few talk about – many women feel embarrassed or don’t know where to go for help/don't realize their symptoms aren't normal. Because I work in healthcare (in a non-patient care ...
Kids & Screen Time: Our Approach
I’ve seen so many of my fellow bloggers address kids and screen time lately and I’ve been asked about it a lot in my Instagram DMs. So, I thought it would be a good time to share my thoughts on the topic! As a preface to this post, I think all families can and should do what works for their children and family life, and this is just our ...
THE Leopard Pillow is Back in Stock
The leopard pillow of our dreams is finally back in stock! These can cost $100 + PER PILLOW on etsy or other retailers, but they’re $39.99 right now and will sell out fast! These are larger and have a gorgeous black velvet piping, too! Such a score – I have three – two on our couch and one in our room on the glider chair. ...

If Your Feet Stink…
You know what? Feet are sweaty/smelly. Well, mine are, and I know from talking with my friends and co-workers that we're all on the struggle bus with this. Switching to wearing Rothy's flats was a game-changer since they're made of recycled plastic and can be washed and come out looking and smelling like new (yes, really!) but they still got ...

O N E If you haven’t already watched Schitt’s Creek, I recommend you start bingeing it immediately (it's on Netflix). It has been one of my favorite shows in recent memory - it’s nice to watch something funny, since I feel like most shows nowadays are dramas or intense (or just awful reality TV). Watch it and thank me later. And for those of ...
