*this post contains affiliate links I have been loving our summer spent at the pool, the lake, and the splash pad. We’ve been keeping near water to beat this heat. Our excursions sometimes take us out of the house for a few hours while other times we are gone all day. It’s important to have

I’m always looking for fun crafts and activities for my toddler and preschooler. Pinterest is usually my go-to resource and although I’ve found alot of cute ideas there, I’ve also encountered many “fails”. You know- the articles and videos that make it look super simple but you find out pretty quickly once you get started
We’ve made our summer bucket list and we are excited to started crossing things off. First up for today: the zoo! We have passes so we usually try to go as much as possible during the season. My personal summer bucket list: this blog! And as far as the items on the list: I can’t
It’s finally April which means (hopefully) warmer weather, spring flowers, and Easter! I have the best memories of Easter fun with my family growing up. We’d hunt for eggs and search for our Easter baskets (my mom always hid our baskets somewhere in the house). I have a lot of special childhood memories of Easter

One of my favorite times of the year is here and I’m so excited! The holidays are so special to me because I still feel the excitement I had as a child, and now I get to experience it through my girls’ eyes. While Christmas is by no means all about the presents, I do
Now that I have three girls, I’m on the lookout more than ever for a good sale. The younger two will always get the best of hand-me-downs from their older sister(s). I see this as a positive, but we’ll see how they like it. For Hadley, I need good quality, long-lasting clothes that will withstand
This summer, I’ve been reading No-Drama Discipline by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. & Tina Payne Bryson, PH.D. It only took me over two months to read the book (which is less than 300 pages) but you know, #momlife. The length of the time it took me to read from cover to cover wasn’t because the
Hadley turned 4 today! I can’t believe my firstborn has been here for four years already. When they say time flies, they aren’t kidding. The past four years have been filled with magical adventures, endless laughter, lots of tears, and more love than I could’ve ever dreamed possible. To say Hadley is (one of) the
