Hi! A week ago we got back from our trip to Disney, but it already feels like months ago! While our trip is fresh in mind, wanted to share some of my best travel tips. The girls have been flying since they were babies and after an extended break (hello 2020!) were glad to be back to it! Shop the entire post here!

We are a little less than a month away from Valentine’s Day and I’m already thinking about the class parties for my girls. Our school has a requirement that only non food items can be brought in which makes things a bit tricky! Here are a couple ideas!
Continue reading “Valentine Ideas”Whether you have kids or not everyone’s busy. Mornings are pretty chaotic around here and the minutes I have to make myself look presentable always seem to get shortened. I’ve gotten my make up routine down to 5 minutes and here’s how.
Holidays at daycare are tricky, it’s either a nut-free food option or non food items. The past few years I’ve gone with non food items but since most Moms shop at the same stores, the girls received multiples of the same thing. This year I planned ahead and hopped on Pinterest for ideas. That’s how I found these super cute love bugs! These are adapted from the many different variations I’ve found and I thought I would create a step by step on how to make them since I couldn’t find one!

I have a set working schedule and need to be in the office at the same time everyday but having to be anywhere at a certain time and factoring in children can be challenging. Most mornings it’s just me and the girls due to my husband’s work schedule, which adds another layer of complexity. Here are a few tips on what I’ve found works to get to daycare/work in the morning, but these can easily be applied to any situation where you have to be somewhere on time.

I think part of the reason was like most, we are constantly running out of space and places to store things so in an effort to keep the house organized I feel like everything has to have home. We don’t have a bookcase which then led the books to being stored in an organizational unit, and forgotten about.
I have been hunting for a book display or shelving for the girls for awhile. Unfortunately everything I have found has either been very expensive or to be honest, cheap looking. I knew I didn’t want to invest in a piece, the girls rooms will change, that’s a given, so I started looking for basic pieces I could fancy up, because let’s face it I’m a little extra. 🙂 That’s how I found this Ikea book display for $20 and with a little love and about $10 extra turned them into useable works of art, or at least that’s what I think!

We all know there’s no handbook on being a mom, but sometimes I wish there was. Having my first child was very overwhelming and I constantly felt like I was failing. Trying to navigate through picking the best products, establishing routine and going back to work were tough transitions and I felt like I didn’t have the knowledge others had to get through it. Then I found a mom group on social media.
