This post is sponsored by Carter’s; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. Now that we’re officially in November, I’m not afraid to say it — BRING.ON.CHRISTMAS.

Given my blog name, you all have to know I was THRILLED when I heard about the PBS show Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood…The play on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was purposeful for my blog — I love everything that man stood for, and was beyond excited to hear his legacy was going to live on in Daniel Tiger.

The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. – Ellen Johnson Sirleaf There’s quite a few films that come to mind when it comes to being inspired by true stories: Seabiscuit, Patch Adams, The Blind Side…The list could go on and on. Why? Because real life is interesting. It’s […]
I attended a sneak preview of this movie. All opinions expressed belong to me. I can’t quite peg the first time I saw Pete’s Dragon as a kid, but I was certainly young. In fact, I think it was a pirated copy straight from our VCR. Anyway, I remember enjoying it seeing that little red-haired […]

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming… That jingle has been in my head for 13 years, so I was just a tad bit excited when I saw that Finding Dory would be swimming into my brain this summer. I had the opportunity to attend a sneak peek the other night with […]

I have an ongoing partnership with Meijer and am compensated for posts. All opinions and content belong to me. Oh exercise. Some days I truly hate you. Thing is, I know I need you. However, my daily schedule with three little ones plus working from home make my options to go to a gym pretty limited. […]
Today I was able to attend the unveiling of LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Michigan’s first MINILAND LEGO® brick model — the GMRENCEN. The event took place at the North American International Auto Show {NAIAS}, and it was sweet! I have a soft spot in my heart for the RenCen after my husband and I both worked there for […]
One of the most exciting things for me as a blogger is getting emails from amazing companies like Disney with the inside scoop that’s coming up. I wanted to share this list in advance because if you’re anything like me, you’ve already asked Google when a few of these flicks will be coming out. Here’s […]
I’ve been reflecting a lot on changes I want to see happen in my home in 2016. Truth is, I am far from perfect and parenting has shown me that in SO many ways. A friend recently told me she felt she held back on her children’s earlier years, striving for perfection, and missed out on […]

If you’re a fan, the latest release, The Good Dinosaur, is sure to impress with its emotional plot line and visually stunning scenery. But is it good for […]

I officially have had 8 kid birthday parties under my belt. We’re hitting that phase where I’m not sure I’ll be hosting a ton more of larger parties, and I have to say — I am a bit relieved. It’s not that I don’t love planning a party, because I do, but I hate stressing […]
I’m excited to announce I have a guest post on the awesome Meijer Style blog! I love dressing up each year, but don’t always have time to put together an intricate costume, so I’m sharing a DIY scarecrow I created with items exclusively found at Meijer. I have a few parties and events for Halloween, so […]

Please note many of these sell out, so if there is something you want to attend, I’d highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. Pick Your Pumpkin Hayrides at Kensington […]
Every day I get a little twitchy-eyed watching my young children “craft.” I put that term loosely because sometimes I think they use it to take advantage of my weakness, which is self-expression. With that said, who am I to judge what is art when it doesn’t belong to me?! I am passionate about being […]
This post is part of an ongoing partnership with Absopure. All opinions expressed are my own. It’s what makes all parents go crazy — meal times with children, or as I like to call it — feeding time at the zoo. Sometimes I cringe thinking of my kid’s eating habits…Scoops of peanut butter, eating 4 clementines […]
