One of the reasons we purchased our current home in addition to its other features was because it has a covered patio and an 1100 sq. ft. backyard. Though our plans to put a pool in didn't come to fruition, we still wanted to create a space our family could enjoy. We have a lot of friends and acquaintances with artificial turf installed in their ...

How to Make the Most Spectacular Art Nook for Your Kids
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! My kids are obsessed with art. They love to create - from drawing and coloring to building things out of boxes - they have a new project every weekend. I was super crafty as a child and teen (and still consider myself crafty, but without the time to pursue all I want to make!) so it brings me so much ...
Everything We Got Our Kids For Christmas
This year was more challenging than others to shop for Christmas because I feel like we got so many things for the kids over spring and summer during quarantine. Lincoln only ever asks for LEGO sets and Harper asked for more books. Seems simple enough - but it's almost harder when they don't have specific things they're really yearning for or ...

Back to School Style
This post is sponsored by Walmart. All selections and opinions are my own! Let's start this post off with a little bit of brutal honesty: our kids have worn pajamas or t-shirts and underwear all summer. I think the only time they ever wear pants/shorts is if we go on a walk in our neighborhood. Being home 99% of the time has led them to be ...
The Silver Linings
I’m a worrier by nature and have been since I can remember. A global pandemic felt like something I was always prepared for as a “worst case scenario” thinker. Despite my perceived level of mental preparedness, I truthfully never imagined that we’d be home for so long, with no end in sight. The uncertainty of it really triggers me sometimes and I ...
Lincoln’s Room in Our New Home
I finally put the finishing touches on Lincoln's room and can't wait to share the full reveal today! The only items I'm missing are a piece of art above his dresser and the bamboo woven shades that have not arrived yet. One of my favorite things about this room is how light and bright it is. I contemplated painting the walls a very light ...
How to Stay (Somewhat) Sane While Social Distancing + Working from Home
Social distancing is absolutely the right thing to do - but that doesn't mean it's easy. I'm an extrovert and thrive on interacting with others and routine, so being home 24/7 is challenging in some ways. However, we're trying to make the best of it. This post is geared towards parents who work full-time outside of the home and are now faced with ...
