Winter can be dreadful as a parent. My kids love playing outside, and it’s just not always possible with three kiddos, especially when it’s close to mealtime and layers of clothing are needed to go out. Like most parents, our worst time of day is the hours between 4-6 p.m. when I am preparing dinner and the […]

I could shout it from the rooftops: Being a third time mom rocks. It’s amazing how adding a baby to the mix can make you feel much more fulfilled despite absolute chaos happening daily. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking on this, and believe I know why: 1. Having three means one kid always has […]

In fact, most of their Christmas gifts are craft supplies. Bonus since our little projects tend to keep them messy busy while […]
RE-PIN HERE! It’s getting to be that time of year…We’re all starting to get antsy for some sunshine. While a vacation to California or Florida sounds wonderful, it isn’t always logistically feasible to travel that far with children, nor is it affordable. My solution is to plan a mini weekend giveaway that’s a bit less […]

I posted on my Facebook last week how I had the opportunity to visit Milford for the village’s Big Reveal of holiday-inspired storefronts.

The other night, my 4-year-old {Kinley} and I had the opportunity to have a mom-daughter date night to see Disney’s newest flick, Big Hero 6. I wasn’t sure what to think prior to the movie. I had thought the previews made it look cute, but I didn’t know if it would capture our attention. Well, […]
