Good morning, friends! With June right around the corner, I wanted to let you know of a few fun things happening around these parts. As many of you already know, I have a huge passion for safer skincare and clean personal care and cosmetics. It’s what led me to starting using Beautycounter products, and eventually partner with them as a consultant. Over the last 2 1/2 years it’s been one of the greatest joys to introduce many many of you … Read More
Traveling With Kids // Updated Edition
After our recent trip to Idaho with a baby and preschooler in tow, I think it’s time for a little updated edition of traveling with a baby and toddler. Not because I know all the things, but we have done air travel with two kids a couple times now, with another trip coming up soon. I considered our most recent trip a success because I didn’t say “I’m never doing this again!” event once on this trip. That, friends, is … Read More

I make a lot of “strange” things like this for breakfast, healthy snacks, … Read More

I’m going to do the best to recap the entire experience and process. It’s been nearly two summers since the playhouse was built and we are … Read More
Collins’s Honey-Themed First Birthday
Last weekend we celebrated Collins’s first birthday and Mother’s Day all in a two day span. It was SO fun yet bittersweet to reflect on the last year and how quickly it’s flown by. I mean, wasn’t she just a newborn in the hospital? Really, this has been THE fastest year of my life and I don’t even want to think about the fact that my baby is no longer really a baby but is quickly approaching toddlerhood. While I’m … Read More
You Make Me Better
This weekend I was talking with a friend about motherhood – the joys and challenges of adding a second child into the mix specifically – and I said something to her that sort of just tumbled out. “Motherhood makes me the best version of myself.” As I sat with those words in the days that followed, the words stuck with me. I also felt there was room for a little disclaimer, and Voxed my friend to clarify what I really … Read More
