You have kids. They have stuff. A LOT of stuff. They live in it, sleep in it, ride in it and play with it. Plastic stuff, wooden stuff, stuff to keep them safe, stuff to keep them fed. It can all be very overwhelming for a new parent. Once we finally do our research and [...]

Oscar only has another week of school left, which means we will be looking to fill our days with lots of fun summer activities! I have a few ideas up my sleeve, but one thing I look forward to is enjoying the outdoors as much as we can. One of our favorite places to play [...]

I recently had the chance to try out the new Tide Coldwater laundry detergent courtesy of SheSpeaks.com. I tend to wash most of my clothes in cold water, with the exception of our whites so I was curious to see if Tide could get the job done. I have to say that Tide continues its [...]

To me, Thanksgiving is a season of reflection. Yes, I love the holiday fun and traditions that we are creating as a family, but something about all that reflecting always makes me realize how infinitely blessed I am to have a home that I love and a husband with a job who can provide for [...]
