We are on our second year of taking family photos on the beach with Meshea Shaffer of Olive Gray Photography in Destin, Florida. We drive over an hour from Seaside just to shoot with her because her work is that amazing! Meshea has been a photographer for six years and her work is just stunning - she really capture families in the most ...

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 ...
Our New Tempur-Pedic LuxeAdapt Mattress
This post is in partnership with Tempur-Pedic. When I moved to Houston over ten years ago, one of the first things we purchased after moving into our first home is a new mattress. We’ve had that mattress since 2007 and for the last couple of years, we’ve both kept saying it was time for a new one, but never pulled the trigger. Kevin loathed ...
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
“A day in the life” is one of my most requested posts! I get it - I’ve seen other bloggers do these posts and I’m always so intrigued by how people schedule their days, whether they work from home, in an office or stay at home. It’s always interesting to get a peek into other people’s lives, routines and schedules. My workday is different every ...
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 ...
Transitioning Your Toddler from a Highchair to a Booster Chair
When Harper was an infant, I ordered the Boon Flair highchair (see my review here) and we used that for her entire baby/toddlerhood. Lincoln started eating solids at 7 months old and Harper was still using the Boon (without the tray) at this time because it was a great height for her to eat at our kitchen island. So, we purchased an IKEA highchair ...
