Ah, the weather is warming up, the sun is peeking out, the birds are chirping—spring is here! YAY! Or not, if you suffer from springtime allergies. While some of us are thrilled to throw open the windows and let in all that fresh air, others of us are doing everything we can to avoid those …

Okay, this isn’t a recall of any kind (at least not yet!) but just a heads up to check your kitchen utensils! Our resident kid chef, Sawyer, discovered something very gross when he was making cookies this past weekend and he wants everyone to be aware of it. As he was washing our silicone measuring …
Many of you know that we just moved into a new house a few months ago and you’ve been patiently waiting for a house tour. The full house tour is coming (in a matter of weeks!) but today we wanted to give you a sneak peek into one of the main rooms. Yep, we are …
Not that it’s been particularly cool where I live so far, but it’s about to get even hotter now that we’re heading into the dog days of summer. We’re also easing towards back-to-school time and fall activity practices are starting up (hello there, two-a-days—we see you!). With the warmer weather and the time our kids …
Father’s Day is coming up on June 17th and if you need a cute and simple idea on how to spoil the dad in your life, here it is! Daddy’s Stache! Make a card and draw a mustache on it. Since my art skills are subpar at best, I just pulled up a picture from …
Yep, it’s time for another parody! This time it is based on a true story with what happens to my teenage daughter when she can’t find her phone. We’d like to think this is EVERYONE when they can’t find their phone but teenage girls take everything to the next level, amIright?!? This parody was so …
I’ve put off this post for a while but today is the day. You may have wondered in the past month or so if something is wrong with my youngest boy because his hairstyle is drastically different. Since I haven’t mentioned it until now, many people have been deeply concerned that there is something terribly …

Yep, Evite free invitations will be everywhere for all the holiday parties, cookie exchanges, Thanksgiving get-togethers, Hanukkah events and more that you will be planning or invited to. I’ve been using Evite free invitations …
I love thunderstorms. Wild, dark, rainy storms with loud cracks of thunder and bright flashes of lightening. I love thunderstorms like I love Disney villains. Clearly, I have a dark side. Unfortunately, my daughter hates thunderstorms almost as much our dogs. At least she doesn’t frantically bark at them, I suppose. But while I’m in …
I was recently asked for advice on choosing toys for a toddler when there is also an infant in the house. Interestingly, I wasn’t able to find much information on the topic via The Great Google. So either everyone is wondering about this in silence, or lots of parents prove that joke that folks get …
At my daughter’s most recent visit to the dentist, the hygienist informed her that she has a loose tooth. The kid was thrilled and she became immediately convinced her tooth would be coming out any minute. The hygienist apologized to me and explained that the tooth was barely loose and it would be a couple …
I’m going to go out on a limb here, people – vacation with [small] kids is hardly a vacation. Our family rents a beach house each year, which is something my husband grew up doing. It is so. much. work. In essence, you drag nearly everything you own from your house to someone else’s house …
