Even though I am not a teenage girl, I hung on every word of The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It’s one of those books that was written for young adults, but is loved by a much larger audience (at the time I am writing this, it has been on the NY Times Best …
Today I am sharing with you some amazing ideas that I have total mom envy over. I love family traditions. I mean love. Growing up, we had so many traditions that made our birthdays and holidays so much more fun. I knew that once I had children, creating traditions would be important (and exciting!) I …
Last week I gave a little sneak peek on Instagram for today’s post. We celebrated Carl’s half-birthday (yes, my husband and I am crazy and celebrate every little thing). Since Carl’s birthday falls so close to Christmas, I told my husband that I wanted to celebrate his half-birthday as a tradition. No toys or parties, just a …
As I searched for an idea for a handmade Father’s Day gift, i kept coming across etched mason jars. Honestly, it seemed super intimidating. But, I decided what was the worst that could happen? My my surprise, it was so simple. I couldn’t believe how easy it was! Back when I did this project, I …

I know there are so many coupon books out there already, but I thought you could use more! Last year, I created this coupon book for my husband. Since it was his first Father’s Day, I went all out with custom cutesy gifts from Carl and Cosby. At the time, I wasn’t blogging so I …
Today You’ve probably noticed, my posts and interactions have been low the past 2 weeks. For the first week, my husband and I were away on an Alaskan cruise (noticed I didn’t mention Carl – I bawled cried just a little at the airport). And then this week, I have been trying to get our …
My toddler muffin recipe is a go-to when I am trying to get fruits and vegetables into my picky kid.

I tried out multiple toddler muffin recipes and eventually mixed them all together …
