I've certainly picked up tips and tricks along the way to help keep the household running like a well-oiled machine. Today, I'm sharing 5 things I do as part of my nightly routine to make my days run easier. I've found that getting these things done makes for a Read More
On Working and Motherhood: My Full Life
Happy Thursday! In case you missed it yesterday, my friend Katie of Live Half Full interviewed me for her "My Full Life" series, which features working mothers and how they find balance, share struggles and routines and lots more. In the interview, I share about my journey towards minimalism and finding family balance while working in corporate America. I've really enjoyed reading the weekly feature and was thrilled to be included among this great tribe of women. Thanks, Katie! Head on Read More
WOW Summit: Empowering Moms to Raise Happy and Healthy Families {Giveaway!}
In October, I will be attending my first (yes, first!) blogger conference. I love that it was fairly close, a good size for a first-time conference, and the fact that it was for like-minded mothers that want to raise happy and healthy families. And I'm all about learning how to grow my blog, network with other bloggers and brands and discover new healthy products. Sounds like a couple of well spent days to me! The WOW Summit is a powerful, two-day event, filled with inspiration and education 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 and Loves from the Week
I started training for my 4th half marathon a couple weeks ago…first few long runs have been on the treadmill till the temps are somewhat tolerable. That said, anyone have a good series on Netflix they’d recommend? Speaking of, geeking out over these impressive journal designs runners have come up with. The cutest app for documenting your kiddos. (Wish there was an Android version- does anyone know of a similar one?) Tweets that sum up your life with 3 year olds. Hilarious. How to Read More
On My Reading List {Motherhood + Career Edition}
If I were aimlessly wandering my local Barnes & N0ble (or let's be real- browsing Amazon's Kindle library), I'd find myself in the motherhood and parenting sections. I've been particularly interested in articles, podcasts and books about finding balance among career and motherhood. It's interesting how our society and culture approaches it, and I'm in the midst of figuring it all out myself, no doubt. But clearly, I'm not alone- there are TONS of resources on these topics. Here's a Read More
Links & Loves (June)
Soaking up summertime over here.... Well hello there! I feel like it's been a bit since I've done a post...and it's kinda true. After a work trip and just enjoying summer and all that comes with it, the blog has taken a bit of a back seat. But not to fear! I've got a few posts in the works, like a super amazing collaboration on a girls getaway in Milwaukee, some recent toddler-focused Pinterest recreations and of course some outfits, along with June's clothing budget recap- phew! But Read More
