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 ...
Holiday Home Decor Favorites
Decorating our home for the holidays brings me so much joy. I look forward to it and seem to put it up earlier as the years go on so we can enjoy it for a longer period of time. December is such a hectic month, I'm always glad to have it up early. I added pink ribbon to our tree this year to switch things up - but If I'm being honest, I miss our ...

They’re both so easy to use and don’t ruin your walls or wood trim. The ...

There are so many incredible Cyber Monday sales - I'm going to link my Black Friday blog posts here and here so you can see my favorite picks from each retailer and what I actually purchased.

What I Actually Bought on Black Friday
Hello friends! I'm writing to you from my new MacBook Air (Kevin finally convinced me to get a new one after six years) - this was definitely a holiday splurge but it's nice to have the upgraded features, more storage space and an incredible Retina display. It also has the Touch ID like the iPhone does, which is awesome. My old MacBook Air is being ...
Black Friday 2018 Shopping Guide
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family - I hope it's safe, happy and full of love + gratitude! A ton of retailers are starting their Black Friday sales early, so later tonight when you're in turkey-induced, lay-on-the-couch relaxed mode, if you'd like to get an early start on shopping (items are already selling out or on backorder), come on ...
