Mindfulness. It's something I try to practice as much as I can in terms of using my time in an intentional way- from parenting, to self care, to scheduling/how we spend our time, meals...the list goes on. Today, I'm sharing a few favorite finds that I've been loving lately that help me practice this...and bonus: they are all from fellow Moms! On motherhood/parenting: Simple Happy Parenting. I have been following Denaye's Simple Families podcast for a while now, and love her approach on Read More
My Minimalist Hair Care Routine
This shop has been compensated by Nature Box™. #ShopNatureBox #sponsored What is “minimalist hair” anyways? For some, it may mean shaving it all off, keeping your hair super short, or just letting it do its thing. To me, it means creating a routine that makes taking care of your hair in an easy, quick, and healthy way while still looking neat and put together. In short, hair care for a minimalist is about keeping it simple. Many of us have a fair amount of beauty products stuffed Read More
Blake’s 1st Birthday: A Very Hungry Caterpillar Party
And just like that...we have a one year old! Time has seriously flown by this past year (I've heard that is what happens with baby #2!), and we have a freshly minted 1 year old boy on our hands.

We saw a caterpillar decoration for the cake and T and I instantly thought we should go with the book, The Very Hungry Read More
Backyard Fun: Our Favorite Outside Activities and Toys
With the weather finally getting to be more summer like, our backyard is in full use again, and today I wanted to share our favorite things to do and toys we use on repeat outdoors.

I am trying to give my kiddos the space for lots of unstructured, free play too. It does wonders for the kiddos to be outside in the fresh air, Read More
A Sports Themed Party for Bryce’s 4th Birthday
Still in disbelief that Bryce is 4 years old now... As I get ready to prep for Blake's 1st birthday (what?!), I realized I still wanted to share a few photos from Bryce's 4th birthday party last month! Man, time really does fly by. Anyways, we held his party at our local park district, where they did a sports theme and had the kiddos play games in the gym, do obstacle course races, sports, etc. then did birthday cake and snacks in a party room. The park district provided all the Read More

Did you know that in one year, 100 billion disposable cups go to land fills and 200+ billion plastic straws are thrown away worldwide?
