When we moved into our home 3 years ago, one of the first things we did was build a mudroom bench by the front door. With a family of 5 and seasonal weather, we knew we needed a place for shoes, hats, jackets, gloves, scarves and backpacks. I hacked some IKEA benches and created the…
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…
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some posts and several stories where I share my outfit of the day (#ootd). I began sharing photos of what I was wearing at the start of 2018 for a few different reasons – but the most important one was as a challenge to myself.…

What a whirlwind of a year! This last week I have loved scrolling Facebook and seeing everyone reflect on their year; the good and bad, the ups and downs. Do you know how each of them ended? With a positive outlook on what was learned despite the challenges and a feeling of excitement for what’s…

It’s hard to believe that we have lived in our house for 2 1/2 years. As it usually goes, some days it feels like we just moved in and others it feels like we’ve been here forever. We have done quite a bit to our house over the years, including some new windows and some electrical…
