one mama's truth, sprinkled with giggles
The Thanksgiving season is a beautiful time to reflect on all the things we appreciate: friends and family, our homes, our careers.... But you know what we usually forget about? Ourselves! This Thanksgiving, I encourage you to reflect on just how wonderful YOU are and to take some time to celebrate yourself! 1. Sip on [...]
November is one of my favorite months of the year because it's a time to stop and reflect on what you're grateful for. And science tells us that gratitude is the key to happiness! Don't believe me? Check out these articles: Psychology Today: "How Gratitude Leads to a Happier Life"The Guardian: "Is Gratitude the Secret [...]
Does anyone else find yourself scrambling to throw outfits together the night before family photos... Every. Single. Time? After a couple of years of regret, I'm finally getting more proactive this year and planning outfits well ahead of time. For this year's holiday photos, I went with a blue and green theme and found some [...]
Holiday Pjs are selling out FAST this year! Maybe people are extra excited about the holidays, or maybe they realize that shipping is taking FOREVER right now. Whatever the reason, family matching pjs are flying off the shelves, so you need to act fast if you want them! In fact, instead of writing this post, [...]
Alden and I had a little outing to The Bunny Hive last week to try one of their newest classes, Art Hour! I won't lie, when my friends share the cute art projects their toddlers bring home from school, I'm always a smidge jealous. The former teacher in me misses coming up with little crafts [...]

I still cannot believe that our little firecracker is ONE (and has been for over a month now)! I keep thinking about how just a year ago, Alden was such a tiny, helpless little potato, and- in the blink of an eye- he's grown into our speedy, curious, opinionated, giggly little boy. He's the cutest, [...]
Oh CRAP! Father's Day is on Sunday! Does anyone else feel completely unprepared for the holiday? With our anniversary a couple weeks ago and planning for Alden's birthday at the end of the month, Father's Day really creeped up on me. I'm just starting to get my sh*t together, but I think I've come up [...]
Cheers, y’all. We made it through another week at home. John and I spent most of this week eating strawberries until our bellies hurt and chasing after our little monkey baby, who loves to clamber up anything he can. Alden's most recent obsession is to climb from the couch or the chair to the top [...]
