Tuesday Top 10: Things I’m Loving!

I haven't gotten a Tuesday Top 10 in a while, I simply haven't felt inspired! The summer doesn't beckon many new products, but the season change has brought forward some awesome inspiration to pass along to you guys! So, let's get into it! 1) Connoisseur Kids: I heard about this book on a podcast, and the author made it so wonderful, I knew I had to have one. I'll be honest, I usually check books out from the library before…

The Strategy I’m Putting In Place To Cancel Witching Hour!

I talked on this in stories, but since those expire after 24 hours I wanted to dive into this on the blog. BECAUSE YA'LL WERE HERE FOR IT. I was so relieved it wasn't just me. Last year, I had one son in kindergarten and one son in afternoon preschool. I'd be so excited to grab them from school, only to find them tired and emotional and hungry and all the emotions. It's HARD at that age, they have to…

Tips For Going Back To School With A Young Family

Disclaimer: I'm not a professional, I'm writing this from the perspective of a mom/wife whose husband got his masters while we had two little kids. I've been meaning to sit down and pen my best thoughts on returning to school with young kids for over a year now.  So, here I am, finally doing just that.  So, most of you know my husband left his job as a Civil Engineer Corps Officer in the Navy to get an MBA back…

Star Wars Fun At Disney World! (and at home!!)

Disclosure:  We were invited to Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, and were given a heavily discounted rate to fully experience all Disney has to offer!  All opinions expressed are my own. My boys are five and three, and over the last few months they have become just absolutely Star Wars obsessed!  My husband is a big Star Wars fan, so it's been really cool to watch them bond over their favorite characters.  My husband looks so proud when he hears our…

The “Advice” I’d Give New Parents.

I feel every morning while I'm sipping my coffee and scrolling through my social media feeds I see, at minimum, one article for new parents written from the perspective of someone further along on their parenting journey.  The advice is genuinely well intended, but often the author has been out of the "trenches" for several years.  Honestly, I love these pieces of wisdom. I've always been a big fan of having mentors!   So, today, I wanted to offer my two…

Can You Afford A Family Vacation This Year?

I did not grow up going on family vacations.  A family vacation for us was eating inside of the restaurant as opposed to only picking up our 39 cents Wednesday burgers through the drive thru.  My husband grew up with frugal parents who opted to travel more.  We knew that regular travel would be something of priority in our family's culture, and we are always looking for creative ways to make it happen.  Like everything else in our lives, we…
