Hi Friends! Can you even believe that my little Hollace is TWO?! I had such a hard time last night accepting that I no longer have a baby under my roof. He is officially a “big boy,” but let’s be real, he is always going to be the baby in our family. 🙂 With him being the youngest, the gifts we got him are very much focused on toys that both he AND our bigger kids will enjoy. Knowing we … Read More
What I’ve Bought on Amazon Lately…
I always love to take a real life peek into what people share when they share what they have actually purchased on Amazon lately. Here is my list! Flowing Amazon Dress I’m not typically a shopper on Amazon for clothes but I got sucked in with this dress. It’s feminine, floral, flowing and such an easy dress to wear. Fits true to size. Rainbow Climbing RopeWe are trying to refresh the swing set that we inherited with the house when … Read More
Our Family Wall Organization System
I am (ahem) not the most organized person in all areas of my life. I’m what I would like to call “selectively organized” where I can be organized in one area but struggle with organization in other areas. Usually paperwork and things related to the home/kids/school/etc. tend to struggle. As we have moved back into the upstairs of our home after our renovation is that it’s MUCH easier to stay organized if you put a good system in place to … Read More
Shows We’ve Loved + Shows You’ve Recommended
I put a call out to social media asking for recommendations on shows that you all have loved and would recommend. While Joe and I don’t watch a lot of television, we do really enjoy winding down at the end of the day with an episode of a good show we both enjoy. The only problem? My capacity for taking in anything too dark/evil/heavy has severely diminished in the last few years. Some of the shows I’ve even had the … Read More
Home Renovation :: Kitchen Mood Board
We are well into our home renovation now (yay!) and I am so excited about seeing it all come together. You can view our Master Bathroom Inspiration Board and Kids Bath Inspiration Boards for previous posts on our renovation. And now we are moving on to the kitchen! Since we are using the existing cabinets, I felt a bit limited in terms of what colors I could do with the cabinets. We opted for a creamy white to add brightness … Read More
Winter Skincare Guide
The weather has been SO cold in my neck of the woods (and in most parts of the country, honestly!) which means I’ve been switching up my skincare a bit in order to compensate. My skin is naturally dry and cold winter weather doesn’t help. Here is my current winter skincare line-up and how I’m incorporating each product into my routine. Note: I know it might seem like a lot of products/steps but the layering it really where the magic … Read More
My Supplement/Wellness Routine in 2024
SUPPLEMENT LINE UPPure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate There are so many different kinds of magnesium it can be really overwhelming to know where to start. Magnesium Glycinate helps with sleep, anxiety, athletic performance and cardiovascular health. Seed Daily Synbiotic Hands down my favorite supplement addition in 2023. This has helped both my digestion and gut health (no more bloated belly or stomach pain) but also helped normalize and regulate my periods which had been very heavy after having my last two … Read More

Gift Guide 2023 // 1-2 year olds
I’m chuckling a little about this gift guide because with three older siblings Hollace plays less with toys and more with whatever his siblings are doing/playing with and mainly walks around the house just causing trouble and bothering his siblings but when he does sit down to play with toys, these are some of the most loved items we have or items that are high on my wish list! Paw Patrol Lookout TowerWe have an older version of this tower … Read More
Gift Guides 2023 :: Little (3-5 year old) Boys
Moving on to gift ideas for little boys but honestly many of these ideas would work for kids older than that as well! Truett is such an imaginative kid that he oftentimes finds things to “play” with that are just in his imagination or uses things around the house to make his own fun, but these are some of the more toy-based ideas that he loves or that I’m buying him this year. Number Locks and Letter Locks Truett has … Read More
