During my first pregnancy I didn’t know if I was having a boy or girl. I loved the surprise, but it did make some pre-planning a bit difficult. My husband and I set up a gender neutral nursery and purchased a red stroller and a gray patterned car seat. I found some of my favorite …
Every few months our family road trips to visit my in-laws a state away. My oldest is almost three so I can’t always bank on a long nap as our car ride entertainment and thus, have begun collecting the best (and simplest) ideas to make our road trips more enjoyable for everyone. Take a peek …
Parades, BBQs and fireworks are usually the highlights of our family’s 4th of July celebration, but this year I’ve made it a point to chat with my soon-to-be preschooler about the US flag. The beautiful red, white and blue that she’s seeing everywhere these days has sparked her interest, so, why not? An early history …
With strawberries in full swing, we’ve been whipping up quite a few very berry treats, one of which is these delicious strawberry cream muffins from my mama’s recipe arsenal. This is our third year munching on these muffins with fresh strawberries and I couldn’t wait to snack on a batch this summer. I was lucky …

Am I the only mom who is tired of eating PB&J and mac ‘n cheese alongside the kids at lunchtime? Oh, good! I figured I wasn’t alone! Instead of prepping a second “mom” lunch every day of the week when I’m short on time (which is usually why I end up with a bowl of …
Nothing warms my heart more than receiving a birth announcement in the mail. It’s better than Christmas cards and party invitations by far — it represents a new life! That is definitely worth celebrating! I have a special little box I tuck announcements away in and I’ve framed each of my children’s announcements. It’s so …
Like most toddlers my girl goes on favorite foods kicks where she’ll request one thing, and only one thing, every single meal. Her longest standing request is applesauce. But not just any applesauce, homemade applesauce. That’s right, rarely can I convince her to gobble down the store bought version. Girl’s got preferences! Luckily, it’s not …
I’m always curious what other mamas consider their on-the-go necessities. Am I the only one? Hope not! Because today I’m giving you a little peek inside my mom bag … Yeah, yeah. It kind of looks like a toddler/baby explosion. That’s what it feels like too. But really, there is a reason behind everything. With …
