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…[Valentine Edition]
Oh hey hey hey! Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours! Let's get this week's wrap- up started! O N E I cannot wait for our new rug to come in. It's been on backorder and will ship this week. I'm still having major trouble with this space in terms of the overall "final look." It's such a tricky space with how open it is and how limited the ...
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Toddler Girls
I will admit that I'm totally one of "those moms" when it comes to holidays. I like to do the decor, themed gifts, crafts, the whole shebang. I had intended to make Valentines with Harper for her class but the 4 month sleep regression and teething have hit us hard...combined with us all being sick, work and everything in between, I caved and ...
Weekend Wrap-Up
If I could use one word to describe the past week, it's "tired." I caught a sinus infection (it's going around at work) and Kevin was out of town the entire week for a conference (thankfully my mother-in-law stayed with us to help out) and I was just barely making it through each day. We are going through a bit of the four month sleep regression ...
Gap 40% Off Sale Picks
We're halfway through the week and Gap & Old Navy are having some great sales right now so I picked up some cute items for the kids! A lot of these dresses are more spring-esque, but I pair them with leggings and sweaters when it's cooler out...and we still have days where temps are in the 70's here in Houston! Use code DENIM for 40% off if ...
Milk Protein Allergy in Babies: Dairy-Free Diet for Breastfeeding
Our sweet Lincoln was two weeks old when he was diagnosed with a milk protein allergy. I was surprised at the time, but looking back, I knew something was "off" just by how his skin looked. I was scrolling through my phone deleting old photos over the weekend and I came upon the ones I took of his skin in those early days and it just broke my ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! I think I'll go ahead and just label the past week as "let's pretend it never happened." I have never been more ready for a Monday. Y'all probably don't remember this (because why would you?) but I struggled a lot with plugged ducts when I was pumping for Harper and this time around has been no different as I still have an ...
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 ...
Lincoln Grey: Three Months Old
Baby Lincoln is three months old! And oh what a month it has been. After months of struggling with his dairy allergy, we finally seem to have made immense progress. About a week after publishing his two-month update, we had some of our most difficult and draining weeks with him. He was so unhappy, his diapers were terrible and some days I didn't ...
Our Weekend…
Back to Work I went back to work Monday and my first week went well! Mostly it was nice getting back into a routine since my maternity leave consisted of way too many days in PJs, a topknot and copious amounts of HGTV (like, to the point where I want to move to Waco and have Chip and Joanna Gaines renovate a house for us or be Joanna's ...
