My husband and I just returned from our babymoon; our little getaway in preparation for baby three’s arrival. It was splendid!

When it comes to Christmas activities, our family likes to alternate between out and about activities and cozy at home things like movies and board games. At 3 and 5 years old, my little ones are strong into their board game love. They can listen to directions and love playing “teams” with their favorite aunt …
This year, I’m skipping Martha Stewart and HGTV when it comes to my holiday decor and turning to the real gals in my life for inspiration! These mamas are JUST LIKE YOU AND ME — they are juggling school schedules, secret Santa shopping, normal meal prep, Christmas programs and so much more on top of …
