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
Some news to share…
Photo by Jessica It's true! Bryce is going to be a big brother. We are thrilled and can't wait for Baby P! Some pregnancy thoughts: -My official due date is June 3rd. -Up until now (I'm about 16 weeks), I've felt not so great. The morning sickness was WAY worse this time than with Bryce. -We do plan to find out the gender-- just have to wait a few more weeks! (Bryce is convinced he is going to have a baby sister...)

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

Minimalism Style: Mama Needs Dry Shampoo and Duck Booties
This outfit has been a go-to outfit formula for me lately: leggings + cozy top + a finishing pieces like necklace or a scarf. Perfect for days at home with a toddler. Then I make simple swaps based on my day: if there are errands outside the house, I might add a vest. Or if I want to squeeze in a workout in the basement, I replace the sweater with a tank top or t-shirt and get to it, because nap time=Mama’s productivity time. And I need that quiet time some days! Speaking of other things this Read More

Now Open: Barre Code Vernon Hills + FREE Classes // #LiveByTheBarreCode
I was super excited to hear that the northern suburbs of Illinois was getting a barre studio- The Barre Code to be exact. (Read about my experience at The Barre Code in the Third Ward here) Being the barre addict that I am, I ended up connecting with the studio manager Cassie and she set up a sneak-peek private class for some friends before the studio opened. We had the music pumping and our legs were a shaking…a great workout! I love The Barre Code for the fact that it not only offers Read More
