Welcome Gwenevere “Winnie” Mae

It’s been a month since little Winnie has been in our arms, and I honestly don’t know how it’s already been that long! After your first child, days, months, and weeks really are a big blur. Time goes quicker than that little…

Happiness is Homemade

Isn’t it though? You can create your happiness and joy. Your circumstances may be dim, but you can choose happiness. I know it’s a lot easier said than done, but that’s what we’re trying to teach our girls…and even ourselves…

Stay at Home Spring Break

I know a lot of you guys are still in the negatives up North and out West, but that doesn’t stop spring break daydreaming. We don’t have big plans for spring break since the girls are only in preschool, but they do&nbsp…

Creative Play with Shape Mags

Who tries to set some type of schedule for your kids while they’re at home? I’ve been trying to be more intentional this past year of having some type of plan to follow on the days the big girls don’t go to…

Disney Trip 2018

DISNEY!I’ve been so lazy in writing posts over the past couple months…okay really the past nine. I don’t know what it was about being pregnant, but I had a little less motivation to work during nap time. I wanted to zone…

When Your Mom Instinct Takes Over

My heart is still racing just typing this out. My mind is flowing with the what ifs and could have beens. This post won’t have any pretty photos and possibly not even thoughts that are strung together well, but it had to come out…

Seven.

It’s been seven whole years since we said “I do.” Some days it feels like just yesterday our love story began and others it feels like you’ve always been a part of me. I know that’s super cliché, but it is what…

ammas-umma-shopping-ethically-for-a-cause

We’re such consumers in America. In a way, we’re kind of trained that way from the day we’re born, right? And I’m not saying I’m exempt. I love to buy things! I love getting a new dress or a new pair of shoes. But there have been several moments in my life that have made me stop to think about what I’m consuming and how it got to me (like literally who made it, how it was shipped, etc). In college, I learned a lot about slave labor in other countries…countries that have…

sometimes-motherhood-feels-like-sheet

Well, not the girls’ luxurious sheets from Linens and Hutch. We LOVE their duvets and sheets. I swear they make them with a little liquid velvet. The materials feel so good against your skin. And I think the girls would agree. They’ve loved playing in their beds together…having tea parties, pretend sleepovers, just rolling around and being silly, covering up and trying to scare the other one…or us! And they’ve officially slept one night in the same room together! They may have both woken up a 2:30 in the morning, and then had to be…

last-few-days-of-the-sale

It’s the final days of the sale, so I rounded up just a few faves. It starts with some non-maternity (a lot could be worn maternity as well), goes to maternity pieces, kiddo pieces, and then some baby gear. I tried to keep it simple and not too expensive. I know how quickly everything adds up. And when I’m shopping a sale, I want sale prices. There are just certain numbers I want to stay below unless it’s a really great deal, right?! So here it is. Short and sweet.Hope you find some of this…

nursing-on-the-go-good-body-good-mommy-cardigan

I know I’m gearing up for AT LEAST another year of nursing once this babe comes earth side, so it’s always nice to start preparing for that journey. I’ve written about my love for Good Mommy Good Body’s leggings that I like to run in, and this is their cardigan I briefly spoke about.Right now, I love to just wear it on a day to day basis or stuff it in my diaper bag for those cold moments in the grocery store or restaurant when you were just wishing you brought a little something to…

these-are-a-few-of-my-favorite-things-2

Life has been a blur over here. We try to stop and smell the roses as much as possible, but life is just busy! When I think that this pregnancy is already more than half way through, I seriously don’t know how it happened. I feel like I just peed on the stick yesterday. But today, I can already see the the baby’s sweet little kicks every time I look at my tummy. I told Kevin yesterday that I think this baby is going to be a big one. All he said was, “no comment. ” I tried to…

vegan-buffalo-tofu-with-moores-marinades-sauces

I think you all know I’m not a food blogger by any means. I have my food babes who I always rely on, but when I know I can create something easily, without even much of a recipe, I know I need to share what I did!My husband and I try to eat vegan as much as possible. Since becoming pregnant, that has definitely fallen to the wayside. I’ve been eating more dairy and eggs than I have in a really long time, but I’m not counting anything as “bad” or “wrong.” I’m just going…

the-girls-shared-bedroom

I’ve been talking about moving the girls’ rooms together for so long now. I’ve asked everyone questions and asked you all for pictures of what you did. Well, we’ve finally done it! We created a joint space…or whether, we’re still creating it, and they haven’t moved in together, but there are two beds and a fresh coat of white paint! We’re two steps closer.I feel so basic for wanting white, blush, gold, and natural elements everywhere, but I can’t help that it looks SO good and fresh. We partnered up with…
