Some of the most frequently asked questions I get in my Instagram inbox are about family friendly recommendations when you vacation to Southwest Florida! So I thought I’d start a series called “Family Friendly Recs” where I’ll share posts about places our family visits around here (and other places we travel to)! We live in …
When I had our first baby, the newborn phase ROCKED my world. I had no idea how a tiny six pound baby who slept most of the day had the ability to turn me into someone who literally could not complete one single task all day long! Amongst the sleep deprivation, changing dirty diapers every …
Up until recently, the voices in my head were constantly telling me that I wasn’t quite doing things good enough. That as hard as I tried, I just didn’t have what it took to be a successful wife or mom. This is why. In the stay-at-home mom world, there’s quite a bit of emphasis on organization, …
When I was in college you know what I hated? When I had to take an 8:00am class. That was SOOOOO early! Oh man, if only I could time travel back to that life and tell my pre-mom self to stop pouting and thank the good Lord above for the UNINTERRUPTED sleep I was getting. Four kids later, life looks …

We weren’t planning on a move this year, but with houses in our neighborhood selling quickly and a desire to be a little closer to family, we thought it would be a good opportunity …
This morning I did some pajama shopping for my kids while my mom watched them. While I was perusing the store by myself I had time to notice moms around me who had their kids with them. I watched as a mom held her baby in one arm while she paged through racks of clothes …
My husband’s been working crazy hours lately. He’s often out the door before the kids wake up in the morning and doesn’t get home until after they’re in bed. And then there are other nights he’s out of town altogether. I’m so proud of him and thankful for how hard he works to support our …
I have four kids under three. At this point in my life, I have PLENTY of real life chaos going on inside the four walls of my home and everywhere we venture out to. Every day there are several instances when I look around and simply have to laugh at the predicaments I find myself in. …
