Last year my daughter insisted on being Dora for Halloween. I happily obliged, knowing it would be an easy costume to put together. And then I realized I could make Lincoln a Boots costume and all would be right with the world. Let’s not talk about the fact that when I put Mia in her…
We’re all guilty of it. Myself included. Yes, I admit to stealing looks directly off the mannequin. Or in this case, directly from a model. While browsing Old Navy’s website during a back-to-school shopping sesh for my Preschooler, I came across this look in their “Outfits We Love” section. And I thought 2 things: Wow,…

It feels like summer just began. Is it really possible that it’s almost over?
Mia doesn’t return to preschool until after Labor Day, which makes summer feel a little longer for our family since many kids started heading back as early as mid-August. We are soaking up these last couple of weeks of summer sun and time with all three kids at home.

Full disclosure statement Fall is coming… I’m not too jazzed about that, quite frankly. Even though it’s been extremely hot this summer in Colorado, I am loving it; I guess it’s the California girl in…
I think it’s a cruel joke that society expects us to deliver birth announcements when we’ve just had a baby. As if I don’t have enough to do? Why not throw a party at my house, too and invite the neighborhood!?
*Heavy sigh* Here we go again. The evil potty training monster rears its ugly head. We are deep in the throes of potty training with our second child. He is only 2 years, 2 months, but I wanted to give it a go. We potty trained Mia first at 18 months, then took a break…
I love dressing my kids almost as much as I love dressing myself. Raise your hand if you often forego purchasing clothes for yourself so your kid can have some new skinny jeans and an old man cardigan… oh, just me?
Dressing my daughter for school always presents a bit of problem for me; I want her to look cute, but I also know that a white dress and tights is in no way practical. She will inevitably fall and dirty her knees while on the playground, get marker on her sweater sleeve and have a mystery mark on the seat of her jeans. So while I send her out looking like the perfect little lady, she returns home with frizzy hair, a sweaty forehead and one less sock.
Nothing beats the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven. Am I right? I rarely make homemade bread, but since trying to eat healthier and running across a recipe for whole wheat bread in the crockpot (which I thought sounded intriguing), I decided to give it a try. The bread tasted good, but was…
You might remember a while back when I shared some stylish ways to babyproof your house and, more specifically, your stair railings. That’s what led me to create a railing guard from poster-sized sheets of plexiglass that I purchased at Hobby Lobby for $6 each, some frosted glass spray and some clear zip ties.
Whilst shopping at Forever21 one week postpartum, I came across these rayon patterned pants. Normally I would never buy or wear anything so loud (prints kind of scare me), but these had an elastic waistband and totally fit the bill of what I was looking for: something that would fit me until my belly and…
