(our subway tile kitchen backsplash--- I've waited a long time for this!) After four collective hours on the phone with AT&T (don't ask, I can't even) and over two weeks of waiting, we finally have internet at the new house. This momentous occasion means I can get back to blogging! First of all--- thank you to everyone here and on IG that ...
Third Trimester To-Do List & Some Exciting News!
Happy Thursday! Third trimester to-do list: Wrap-up major projects at work before going on leave. Wash and organize baby clothes. Pick-up newborn stuff we still need. Move. We had talked about searching for a new home before I was even pregnant with baby #2 because our existing home’s layout wasn’t ideal for our growing family. We wanted to ...
Our Weekend + A Few Labor Day Sale Picks
It was so nice to have an extra day off with the Labor Day holiday! I definitely needed those extra 24 hours. As you've noticed, things have been quiet here on the blog. Work has been incredibly busy and I've had several very early morning starts which doesn't leave me with much energy in the evening to blog. I also mentioned this on IG, but we ...
Our Weekend…
We've had one of those weeks in our household. Where everyone is exhausted and on top of that sweet Harper caught a tummy bug that was just brutal. She started to get sick on Friday and so between her illness and my seemingly perpetual exhaustion, our Saturday involved a lot of screen time and book-reading on the couch. Thankfully little miss is ...
Favorite Hair Tools
I've talked before about my blowout routine and hair washing routine in previous posts. I'm pretty much still doing the same routine as I always have but I wanted to share some of my favorite hair tools with y'all since the right tools (and products) can make all the difference! First off are my hot tools--- I really only use a hair dryer and ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! This is totally going to turn into a "things we love" post because our weekend was full of play dates, birthday parties and naps. So, the usual. Harper loves her cat backpack from Baby Gap. It also comes in this sweet gray owl version. She looks like such a big girl in it though…which is both sweet and traumatizing. Why do they have ...
Blogging Q & A
I've been blogging for nearly 6 years now (!!!) and every once in a while I'll get an email from a lovely reader asking me questions ranging from how to start a blog to how to grow it and work with brands, etc. I'm certainly not a blogging expert (I can only speak to my own experience) and there are many blogs wildly more successful than mine, but ...
Our Weekend + Giveaway from Lou Lou & Company
Happy Sunday! This weekend was full of fun- our Saturday started off with Little Gym and then we headed across town to celebrate sweet Caroline's first birthday. As you can see, Harper was a big fan of the cake (and so was I!) Today, we met up with my in-laws for brunch at our favorite crepe spot, Sweet Paris at City Centre. Kevin and I have a ...
Sweet Summer Salad w/ Raspberry Vinaigrette
We are big fruit lovers in this family, especially in the summer time (but really, all year round since it's pretty much guaranteed toddler food). I love ordering fun salads at different restaurants we go to and I always find myself loving the salads with fruit in them the most. I'll usually make a mental note or even jot down ingredients in ...
Toddler Bath Time Favorites
Happy Monday! I haven't shared a toddler product review in quite some time so I thought it would be fun to break down the products we use during Harper's bath time/bed time routine. We've been using all of these products for a long time so I feel really confident we've found the ones that work best for Harper's skin and hair. Burt's Bees Baby Bee ...
