New Year's Ready
The time between Christmas and New Year's is so awkward. All of that hard holiday work, the late nights shopping, baking and wrapping is over with and the actual holiday is gone in the blink of an eye. Time to take down the decorations and find a home for all of the new carefully thought out and wrapped toys and gifts that were torn open in ten seconds flat. While I'm not a New Year's Resolution maker I do think this is a great time to reflect on your year as a mom, as…

My Toddler is A LOT and I Wouldn't Have it Any Other Way
A little over 4 years ago God gave me my first little girl. I imagined after having a rough and tumble little boy that she would be my pink ballerina. She would be all things soft, dainty and demure you get the picture. She came bursting into the world with dark hair and bright blue eyes and I knew the second I held her that she was going to be something else. In the hospital she was voicestrous unlike her older brother. She let her needs be known and loud and clear at that. Whe…

BEST BABY CHRISTMAS GIFTS
What to get for a baby's first or second Christmas? The under 2 crowd can leave people and even parents scratching their heads since they don't quite ASK for toys yet at least not as assertively as my 4 and half year old does. As a mom of three I feel like I have some street credibility in the toy department so I've compiled some of my favorites from past years. I don't love noisy toys I mean who does but I included a few of those of course because there are some e…

How to Have a Better Night's Sleep
1. Clean your kitchen....yes, seriously. I know it seems like a given but wipe/clear your counters, empty your sink, do a quick sweep of crumb, clean tables and high chairs, set a clean slate for the next day (only to get messed again, but still!).
2. Get everything ready....I've said this before in other posts and I'll say it again...purses, jackets, lunches, hats/gloves, backpacks, baby bags...have everything ready to go and in one spot to grab and go in the morning.
3. …

Friday Five
1. Maple Pecan Coffee-Loving this new flavor from DD so much that I've even strayed from my go-to Pumpkin Spice for it a several times. I'd stick with milk or cream only as it is a bit sweet but I'm a fan!
2. Target Sweaters-I mean it's Target and we all love Target but their sweaters this year are really on point. Their new lines Knox Rose and A New Day especially. Look for sales this week, select Knox Rose sweaters were $10 off today.
3. Leaves Candle by Bath &…

AFFORDABLE FARMHOUSE FINDS
Galvanized metal, cotton, burlap, mason jars, and chalk paint oh my. We're all pretty much loving that Chip & JoJo modern farmhouse look. It's understated, inviting and simply beautiful. You can add a little glam like I like to do or keep it very authentic and rustic. Once you have a few beautiful pieces that set the tone you can really save in the extra touches. I've gathered some affordable and quick AMAZON finds and I think most of them are even prime. Woo woo…
