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 …
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 …
I love gifting, especially to those that work so hard in our lives - teachers and therapists! This year I grabbed some fun things that I knew they could use, along with a gift card all from Target. I then bought shrink wrap bags from Amazon, which gave my gift a professional, finished look. I …
This one goes out to the husbands, the brothers, and the Dads. The sisters, the friends, and the Moms. These are things we already have and love or things I am eyeing for my own wish list/gifts to give! **My links are affiliate links. If you love something I've shared, I would be so grateful …
My first set of gift guides are here! I love to shop early so these are all things I've been eyeing, or already purchased, for my kids' Christmas gifts this year. My gift guides are mainly focused around my three, but they do include some items for the opposite gender or just outside their age …
Do you like packing lunches or is it a huge pain in your day? Last year, school lunch was free so I only packed lunch for Ella 2-3 times a week. This year, school lunch is no longer free and Cole is eating lunch at school so I am now packing lunch 4-5 times a …
Around October (sometimes sooner) I like to start thinking about Christmas gifts and start to plan outfits. I do this on the earlier side so that I can space out the purchases. I like to start by going through their closets to see what can be used from the prior year. Unfortunately, my kids generally …
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 …
With only a week and half until Easter, I figured it was now or never to share this month's holiday books with you! There are so many cute and great religious Easter books out there. Here are a few of our favorites that we get excited to read every year. **Click on the image below …
Easter is about a month out which means it's time for all of the Easter bunnies out there to get to work. I have my picks rounded up for girls (5-7ish), boys (2-5ish), and babies (1-3ish). When I put together Easter baskets, I follow a general formula - a swimsuit, a cup, something for the …
My love for holidays runs DEEP. This Valentine's Day will certainly be different for me, as I expect to be somewhere in the middle of a C-section recovery, a NICU stay, and newborn life. BUT, that's not going to stop me from celebrating and making it special for the big kids even in the smallest …
As with everything else, Fourth of July is going to look quite different this year. Minimal bbq-ing and no fireworks makes my celebration heart sad. If you guys haven’t noticed yet, I love making holidays special for my kids and the best way I know how to do that is through treats and crafts. 😆 …
