One thing I am loving about summer is the fact that there is no morning rush. As a mom, getting myself and three kids ready and out the door by 7:40 is close to my personal version of hell… I am avid believer in showering each morning; particularly before I see anyone other than my…
Outfit of the day posts are still going strong over on Instagram Stories! If you don’t already, follow me @themombot. Weather in Colorado has been slowly, but steadily warming up and I am loving the sunshine! Colorado sun is blazing hot, so even if it’s only 50 degrees outside, standing in the sun will make…
I have no idea. End of post. Ok, kidding. While I am not confident that I can claim “this is 100% how you get your toddler to stay in bed,” I do have experience on the topic and some advice to lend; because my 3 year old has drug me through the trenches on this…

I am so excited to share my latest project and the newest addition to my Nuts & Bolts Paper Co. line! For a while now, I’ve been working on a School Years Memory Book that would be the perfect keepsake for both parents and kids. Because I (like many moms, I’m sure) am always wondering…
