I’ve raved about my Nespresso machine for years (and still love it!) but there’s a new love in our lives and it’s our Breville Bambino Plus Espresso machine (also on amazon, where we purchased ours, here). We purchased it before we moved into our new home last November and it’s our weekend latte go-to. (floating shelf sources ...

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 ...

Four Quick + Easy Ways to Pamper Yourself at Home
As a mom, there are never enough hours in the day. Between my children, full-time job and this blog, time to relax and decompress can be hard to come by. Most of the time, when I have a free moment, I use that time to do things around the house, work on content, or run errands, instead of doing something relaxing for myself. The busy holiday ...
The Best Beauty Gifts for Your Bestie
It's safe to say that throughout our nearly 10-year friendship, Candice and I have often gone the pampering route when we buy gifts for one another. Whether it's a favorite perfume, spa services or cosmetic splurges, we've always enjoyed treating one another to beauty-related gifts. I know it seems early to be thinking about holiday gifting (after ...
My Morning Beauty Routine + Beauty Tips for Working Moms
I get asked all the time how I "do it all" and, spoiler alert, I definitely don't! I don't always stay on top of everything that needs to get done and my endless to-do list, but something I think I've perfected as much as I can is my morning getting-ready-for-work routine. I always opt to look polished for the office, but my beauty routine has to ...
