Truth be told, I’ve got a thing for redheaded babies. That precious bright head of hair and ivory skin, forget about it. And as they get older, they tend to develop the sweetest little freckles, which I have always sort of coveted. I think I’ve only ever done one birth announcement for a baby that was a…
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’m guessing if you’ve got an elementary-aged boy in your home you know ALL about NINJAGO. And you probably also know that there is LEGO NINJAGO movie coming out September 22nd. A movie which, if I’m being honest, I have no problems going to see with my five year old. I took him to see…
Man, has it been HOT this month in Colorado. Whenever it’s blazing hot, I can only bring myself to wear dresses and skirts – because, you know, airflow. Poor men don’t know what they’re missing. (I crack myself up, by the way) Anyway, I thought I would pull together some of my Instagram pics to…
With school on the rise, it’s got me thinking about homework again (collective “ugh”). Truthfully, this isn’t something that we are all that used to in my house. My oldest is in the second grade and up until this point has had very little homework. So we don’t really have a “homework station” or area…
I don’t know about you, but summer is not my best time as a parent. Want to watch TV? Ok! Want to watch a movie and eat popcorn? Ok! Want to play on the computer for 2 hours? Ok! Granted, I’m being slightly facetious and don’t just let my kids veg out on electronics all…
Back to school we go! Most kids will be starting school up again in the next few weeks (can you believe it?) and it’s time to ready ourselves – and simultaneously shout “hooray!”… Between trips, camps and sports, this summer seemed to fly by. I can’t believe I will have a preschooler, kindergartener and 2nd…
Finding the perfect gift for a baby girl or her soon-to-be modern mama can sometimes be a chore. I tend to want to give something meaningful, adorable, and non-disposable (sure, diapers are great as an add-on, but not the entire gift!). I love all the options available today that just weren’t there when I had…
Yesterday I launched a new product in my shop that I’ve been working on for a while, and I’m calling it “Letters to Grandma & Grandpa.” Have you got grandparents near or far who love updates from your family and kids (or a parent deployed, or godparents who feel out of the loop, or aunts/uncles…
We’ve already had quite a few adventures this summer, partly because my kids were done with school in mid-May – but we also just happened to plan a lot of summer activities for the first full month of summer. After a quick visit to our house from Grammy & Papa (who live in California), we all…
