One of my favorite days is coming up in two weeks - Mother's Day! I love celebrating all of the awesome mama's in my life, even if it's just with an appreciative text. Mom's are just the freaking best. 🙂 While gift giving on Mother's Day is certainly not necessary, it is so nice to …
As you likely know by now, our youngest daughter has Spina Bifida. We do a substantial amount of weekly therapy and in January we had the opportunity to attend our first intensive therapy session at Napa Denver. Intensive therapy is different than weekly therapy because you attend every day for several hours each day for …
Easter is super early this year (April 9), so I am coming at you now with Easter basket ideas for girls, boys, and toddlers. A month out from Easter is the perfect time to fill those baskets. As the years go on and the budget continues to tighten as prices go up, I have realized …

My family is so busy. I realize that's kind of crazy to say given how young my kids still are and the fact that we haven't even scratched the surface of after school activities and play dates yet. Even still, with all of the doctor's appointments, therapy, birthday parties, school schedules, and everything else we …

Is it just me or are there a million and one activities around Halloween these days? Trick or treat streets, parades, parties, etc. means an event every weekend in October for us. However, the Fall time also brings many germs and many colds. Sometimes you just have to cancel the plans and have a cozy …
After deciding to stay at home with my kiddos last year, I have slowly been trying to find my style again. My workwear no longer cut it, my comfy clothes felt too drab, and I had to face the fact that jeans were not going to work when I am spending the majority of the …
After publishing my post on Spina Bifida awareness month, I couldn't shake the feeling that something about it just wasn't quite right.
