As someone who works in healthcare, albeit not in a patient care role, I feel it's my duty to reinforce just how critical social distancing is in order to flatten the curve/trajectory of COVID-19. If you'd like to learn more about social distancing, I'm linking some articles below (also, please don't be like these people).Social Distancing: ...

DIY Painted Wavy Bowls
I came upon some plastic gold wavy bowls on amazon a few months ago and they immediately reminded me of the shape of my beloved Susan Gordon Pottery wavy bowls (I have and LOVE this one).I didn't love the gold look, so I purchased some spray paint to see if I could make them look the way I wanted them to. The shape and sizes were ...

How To Make DIY Sensory Kits for Kids
A few weeks ago, our kids got some awesome sensory kits as a favor at a friend's birthday party - and our kids quickly grew obsessed with them! They're quite pricey, so I wanted to try a DIY version at home so I could add whatever I liked based on the theme I wanted for each child. Our kids seriously play with these for an hour or longer. They ...

He has come such a long way--- he’s no longer in pain from his tummy issues, is eating a ton of foods and is stronger than ever and cruising all over the place and climbing stairs! ...
Our Weekend…
Oh hey! It's 9 p.m. as I write this and both kids are (finally) asleep. Harper doesn't do naps on weekends often anymore and then she passes out on the living room floor before bedtime and wakes up and hour or so later in a mood that any parent of a nearly "threenager" can probably imagine. Harper and I spent some mommy/daughter time together on ...
Our Weekend…
Our weekend was fun! Saturday Harper had Little Gym and we had friends over for a playdate. Sunday we put up curtains in Harper's room and Candice came over and we went and had our nails done which was much-needed as I hadn't had a pedicure since before Christmas (insert alarmed-face emoji here). Here's what else we're up to...O N E We are in ...
