I've never really been a big fan of Halloween, but since having kids, I've tried to buck up and enjoy the holiday for what it is - a time to have a little fun. I guess the one thing that's always rubbed me the wrong way was all the ghouls, ghosts and goblins. Skeletons, spiders, and blood-sucking vampires... I mean, I just can't. But, it doesn't have to be all about the scary, even if you aren't ...
A SURF INSPIRED PLAY-HOUSE FOR BOYS
With Christmas right around the corner, an outdoor playhouse would make the perfect gift for any toddler in your life. When I think of playhouses, I fondly remember a good portion of my childhood - playing "house" and renovating like a miniature HGTV flipper in the making. When we decided the boys needed one of their own, we searched high and low for a playhouse that would fit the vibe of our ...
5 WAYS TO COZY UP YOUR HOME FOR FALL
We may not be feeling Fall yet in South Carolina thanks to the 90 degree weather we're still getting, but it's starting to feel more like October in our home! The minute I saw Trader Joe's full of pumpkins I started to fill our house with them, so it only seemed appropriate to share 5 ways that we are cozying up our home for Fall. Because with the start of the holidays, hopefully comes cooler ...
A STYLISH FAMILY-FRIENDLY LIVING ROOM
Let me tell you one thing about having kids that they didn't tell you. They - will - ruin - everything. It's just Murphy's Law of being a parent. Everything you once kept nice, will now be turned upside down, on it's head, with peanut butter handprints the size of a toddler plastered all over it like a preschool Mother's Day project. I've since learned to let some things go when it comes to my ...
RAISING HEALTHY, HAPPY KIDS
Thank you to Healthy Times for sponsoring today's post! All thoughts and opinions are my own. There's nothing more important to me, as a mother, than to want to raise healthy and happy kids. Isn't that our main goal in life just as parents? Naturally, I've been simplifying the items in our home to be from companies that offer non-toxic, organic alternatives to things like beauty + cleaning ...
TALKING SLEEP WITH 3 KIDS
This post may contain affiliate links. One of things I've been asked a lot since bringing Cason home is "are you getting any sleep?" I guess most people just figure that life with a newborn means zombie status. By all means, I'm not enjoying the 8-10hrs that I've been used to, but that's to be expected. I am, however, getting decent 4-5 hour stretches at night which I'm very thankful for. Sleep ...
HIGH CHAIR CONFESSIONS
First of all, I can't believe my baby is just 2 months shy of starting solids. Can someone please PINCH ME?! It seems high chairs have been on my mind a lot lately and it only makes sense since there's so many things to consider when purchasing one. I know, I've been through 4 alone just between Aden and Hudson. When we registered as first time parents with Aden, my only concern was finding one ...
UNBOXING: DANI NATURALS {BODY + HOME} REVIEW
I've always been a huge advocate of all-natural home products, but more recently I've slowly started to pay more attention to the ingredients in everything, including what I put on my face and body. My brother was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma last September, which put me as the only single person in my immediate family that has not fallen victim to Cancer. I should be lucky, right? Or, as I ...
