Hello and happy Friday! This week’s Friday Five is about all things motherhood and family. I’ve been working on some motherhood content to share with you – but they’re the types of posts that take a long time to write, that I read 30 times over, and feel my heart race as I hit publish. Even though I’m always nervous to publish such personal ...

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 ...
Three Ways to Express Gratitude & Spread Sunshine with Cuties
This post is sponsored by Cuties via Collectively. Thank you for supporting the brands that support my blog! When I think of Cuties, I get flooded with memories from my childhood growing up in Canada. I remember going to the grocery store every week during the holiday season and picking out a crate (or two) of Cuties to enjoy at home. They were ...
How to Get Rid of Toys Without Guilt
Our playroom was one of my favorite spaces in our home when we moved in and it still is -- we spend a lot of time there as a family. It's wonderful to have a dedicated space for play and keeps the rest of our home clutter-free. Plus, it’s huge (as large as a master bedroom) and it gets a ton of natural light. However, over the last couple of ...
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 ...
Five Things
It has been a long week. I haven't been present in this space because I've honestly felt so overwhelmed and emotional that I couldn't write. I went back to work at the office (I had been working remotely before that) and getting back into that routine, while much-needed, is very difficult when there are so many people in our city who can't go back ...
Our “At Home” Family Photo Session with Olive Shoot Photography
When Nikki of Olive Shoot Photography and I scheduled a session together, I honestly wasn't sure what to think of an at-home family photo session. I had seen her work and loved the emotion and moments captured in her photos, but we had only ever done family photos that were more staged so I was used to that format (and those sessions can be so ...
Friday Five
Hi ladies and happy Friday to you all! You know it’s funny, sometimes, when I sit down to write my Friday Five blog post, I have a list of things in advance that I plan to share and some weeks I decide as I write the post. This week is one of those random weeks where I don’t have the entire post planned prior to drafting it, and I kind of love ...
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 ...
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 ...
