It's been a little quiet on the blog here lately, and for good reason- we welcomed a new family member! Blake Elliott was born one month ago (what?!), and we are all just smitten with him...especially his big brother, Bryce. We've all been getting used to being a family of four, and enjoying this exciting new chapter of our lives! That said, over the past month, I've been curating a list of some of my favorites that I thought I'd share with you...many of which are baby or mom Read More

This Mama’s Vehicle Spring Cleaning Checklist
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #EarthDayDriveAway #CollectiveBias Source Spring is finally around the corner and *hopefully* that means no more snow, ice and salt on the roads. That said, I am SO looking forward to doing a little spring cleaning on my vehicle. Maybe it's the nesting going on with baby #2, but I am eager to get the winter grime build up off my floor mats, get car wash to get the salt residue off and Read More
Combating the winter stir craziness…for dogs.
This post was sponsored by Milk-Bone as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. This winter just seems to go on and on, am I right?! January felt like it had 75 days in it, and February is shaping up to be the same with the harsh winds, snow and sub-zero wind chills. Ugh! It seems like we are all going a bit stir crazy at this point- Izzy included. It's too cold to take her for walks or play time outside most days, so we've Read More

Links and Loves
It's been a while since I've shared a Links and Loves post, so thought I'd take a little time during Bryce's nap to include a little round up of some of my favorites lately... Currently on my Christmas wish list? A super cute sweatshirt like this one (and this!), and this wide headband in bubblegum chevron. I own one in a different print and wear it for workouts at home...and when I haven't washed my hair :-) Also can't wait to get my hands on Emily Ley's new book! Shopbop is having a Read More
Life Hacks that Make Life Easier
This post was sponsored by Tai Pei and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Last week, I attended a pretty sweet blogger event hosted by the folks at Tai Pei Asian Foods in Chicago. It was so fun to be in the city (admittedly, it had been awhile!) and I had a really great time. What did we do, you may ask? Well, it was an event centered all around life hacks, which I can totally appreciate as a full-time Mama and part-time corporate gal. It was hosted by Danielle Moss, who Read More
Links & Loves
Currently wearing on repeat: my Everlane track shorts and Tapered Collection striped tank. Both are so comfy and polished looking! (Check out my recent #ootd in their solid tank here.) Plus, Tapered Collection is having their Summer Friends & Family event now through July 23rd with 20% off plus free shipping so you can stock up on your staple tanks, tees and dresses. I love mine-- they are thick (not see through), breathable, figure flattering and won't shrink or fade. (Note: If you do Read More
