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 ...
Transitioning To The Chicco MyFit LE Harness + Booster Seat
Thank you Chicco, a brand I've used and trusted for years, for sponsoring this post!Since becoming pregnant with Harper over five years ago, I’ve been very passionate about car seat safety. I’ve educated myself about the importance of things like extended rear-facing and how to ensure your child has the correct seat with a secure install, which ...
Kids, Food & Eating: Our Approach
PREFACE It’s no secret that I’ve had some issues with food. A few years ago, I saw a nutritionist to try to help break my sugar addiction (I refer to it as an addiction because I ate so much sugar in a binge-eating pattern). It might come as a surprise that I struggled with over-eating some foods, however, anyone can have food issues regardless of ...
Spring Break Fun
We’re back to a normal school week following Spring Break and I haven’t done a post like this in a while, so I thought I’d share some recent family photos from one of our Spring break adventures. Both Kevin and I had really busy work weeks, but we took Friday off to take the kids to Pleasure Pier in Galveston.We went there last year as well and ...
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 ...
A Day In My Life As a Working Mom

It’s always interesting to get a peek into other people’s lives, routines and schedules.My workday is different every ...
Our Favorite Children’s Books
I was a total bookworm as a child and I love reading to Harper and Lincoln so much. Though I'm a total audible addict now since I can listen while I commute to and from work, there's nothing better than a children's book with a great story and beautiful illlustrations.I plan to share my audible favorites soon - stay tuned! Audible has seriously ...
Holiday Gift Guide: The Toys Our Kids Play With Most
Because we're traveling for Christmas this year, we're going very low-key on gifts - and after countless playroom purging sessions, it's a tradition I'd like to continue. I've read multiple articles that actually support that having less toys is better for kids - and that the less toys they have, the more creatively they'll play with the ones they ...
Life Lately + Q & A
I got a little sad when starting to draft today's post. I used to share all of our weekend adventures and write monthly updates when Harper was a baby and I miss documenting those things sometimes. Instagram stories allow me to share our day-to-day lives and moments, so it feels repetitive to share it here on the blog. However, I thought I'd ...
