This year was more challenging than others to shop for Christmas because I feel like we got so many things for the kids over spring and summer during quarantine. Lincoln only ever asks for LEGO sets and Harper asked for more books. Seems simple enough - but it's almost harder when they don't have specific things they're really yearning for or ...

Back to School Style
This post is sponsored by Walmart. All selections and opinions are my own! Let's start this post off with a little bit of brutal honesty: our kids have worn pajamas or t-shirts and underwear all summer. I think the only time they ever wear pants/shorts is if we go on a walk in our neighborhood. Being home 99% of the time has led them to be ...
The Silver Linings
I’m a worrier by nature and have been since I can remember. A global pandemic felt like something I was always prepared for as a “worst case scenario” thinker. Despite my perceived level of mental preparedness, I truthfully never imagined that we’d be home for so long, with no end in sight. The uncertainty of it really triggers me sometimes and I ...
Lincoln’s Room in Our New Home
I finally put the finishing touches on Lincoln's room and can't wait to share the full reveal today! The only items I'm missing are a piece of art above his dresser and the bamboo woven shades that have not arrived yet. One of my favorite things about this room is how light and bright it is. I contemplated painting the walls a very light ...
More Kids Activities While Social Distancing & In Quarantine

Now that Kevin and I are both working full time from home, we need to find ways to keep our kids engaged and entertained, while also having scheduled chunks of their day devoted to the ...

If you'd like to learn more about social distancing, I'm linking some articles below (also, please don't be like these people). Social Distancing: ...
Where to Get Santa Photos in Houston
I was delighted when one of my favorite Houston photographers, Nicole Young, asked if Harper and Lincoln would be her models for the Santa photo experience she's offering! These photos are EVERYTHING. My cheeks hurt from smiling just looking at how precious they all are! We had such a great experience shooting these in-studio with Nicole - we ...
