Our first born, our only girl, our true delight. She is seven today. It kind-of kills me inside a little bit. Doesn’t seven sound old to you? I remember when I fist became a mom and hearing of other parents who had seven-year-olds and thinking, “that’s an old kid!” And now we have one. This […]

I have nothing but fond memories of going to Disneyland as a child, and even as a teenager. As I think most might agree, there is just something SO magical about that place that just leaves everyone with a perma-smile. And an empty wallet. 🙂 We are taking our two oldest for the first time […]
This past Sunday was one of my favorite Easters to date. We kept it low-key, played our brains out, ate a wonderful meal, enjoyed the company of family and felt all the magic that comes with Easter while also trying to remember the true reason we celebrate.

A mom friend recently confided in me about her struggles in becoming a new mom. We talked about how the time for herself has diminished and how the constant care for her new baby is exhausting. And then she went on to comment, “I have no idea how you do it with three.” And right […]
Have you ever looked at someone from the outside and thought about how it seems they’ve got it all? I’ve caught myself doing that on occasion. Pondering thoughts about how their children appear to be angels. How their marriages look flawless. How their upbringing must have been unforgettable. How they must eat healthy, home-cooked meals nightly. […]
My sweet friends gifted me a Nordstrom gift card for my birthday, and I thought it was about time I put it to good use! So while the Nordstrom sale is going on, I have done a lot of perusing on their site and thought I would share with you some of my favorites. Boyfriend […]
During Christmas, I was on the hunt for headphones for our kiddos. We had purchased some from Target a few months earlier, but they just didn’t last, and one of our kiddos couldn’t get them to stay on his head. So, I was on the hunt and googling around trying to find some our kiddos […]
