There is no doubt that we love flowers, crafting and color around our home. I usually grab a fresh bunch of markdown flowers on our weekly shopping trip, we are always creating something around here and colors are just inevitable with kids and cheeriness. We also like up-cycling quite a lot too. If I can…
I’ve shared with you recently how much I love having a clean home and how important it is to us. With two little ones and two dogs cleaning is a regular job around here and I want to do it as efficiently as possible. One thing I do a lot is vacuum. Between snacks and…
We love coloring here in our house. We have more coloring books than I probably even know of. We have countless Crayola crayons, colored pencils and markers like you wouldn’t believe and I’ve got a little one with a creative spirit just like her mama. It didn’t come as a surprise to me that adult…
Happy Monday, sweet friends! Life has been busy, slightly hectic but we are blessed as always. We’ve had gorgeous Spring weather around here..minus the random 7″ of snow that was dumped on us last weekend. In typical Colorado fashion though, it quit snowing by Sunday afternoon and it was all melted by Tuesday. Gosh I…
Happy Earth Day, friends! I don’t know about you but the older I’ve gotten the more conscious about the Earth I have become in effort to make it a great place for the generations to come. I cared a bit less when I was younger about things like conserving energy and recycling materials. The older I got though…
I was thinking the other afternoon about all of the pregnant women I know, or know of, and coincidentally I was about to get get ready for the Free Everyday Luxuries Set I’m sharing with you this week. I had a “lightbulb moment” about a unique gift idea that is a bit out of the norm…
I’m an extremely simple girl. I don’t go shopping often, I don’t have a lengthy “wishlist” of items for birthdays or holidays. A good description would be “low maintenance”. I am a fan of little things though. They are the little pick me ups, the little details that I find brighten my mood a little…
I like a clean house and so does Ryan. We like having cleared counters and floors clutter free. There is just something about those things that make us feel a bit extra pride in our home. Then we had kids and let’s be real – we love those things still and we fiercely love our…
I love including my kids in the kitchen with me. I’m in the kitchen at least three times a day and having them alongside me does take a bit more patience but I love how much they enjoy being there and learning alongside me. I started both of my children out young in the kitchen…
I feel like this week has flown by – how is it Thursday? Better question – how is already the middle of April? I know I cannot be alone on this. We’ve been enjoying the Spring weather with our windows wide open every day and we built our garden last weekend and this weekend we…
I love including my kids in the kitchen with me. I’m in the kitchen at least three times a day and having them along side me does take a bit more patience but I love how much they enjoy being there and learning alongside me. I started both of my children out young in the…
In March Ryan and I celebrated 10 years since our first date. Oh how different life is now ten years later. We’re older and we’re wiser and we’ve learned some tough lessons throughout the years. We’ve got a house, two cats, two dogs and two babies. We also have a lot more love and history than…
We were completely overjoyed with the fact we were having another baby, we joyfully anticipated B’s arrival. Two children was a dream of ours that we thought was out of reach after we tried so hard the first time around. We had gotten used to the idea of just being a family of three, then…
When the calendar switched over the April last Friday it felt like a great big exhale. March was a rough one filled with lots of things tossed our way all at once. A was sick one week, we had bit of a dog scrap that landed us unexpectedly at the vet. Then my grandma was diagnosed…
Over the past few months I’ve had the opportunity to try out all three of the Vintage Honey Teething Necklace styles. So today I wanted to share all the details with our experience with each necklace type before our discount code runs out at the end of this month. I was a brand rep on…
Have you ever been convinced you just plain won’t like something? You haven’t tried it but surely, you won’t be a fan. I have a few times and then I saddle up to try it and my first bite I’m not quite sure I’m convinced but then wham. Next thing I know, I’m craving them….
As soon as Christmas has come and gone the next holiday that really gets into my heart is Easter. Sure, there is Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day sprinkled in between that I like to make fun for the kids too, but Easter is the next big one. The one full of extra fun, tradition and…
Spring is officially here, but after weeks of Spring weather snow is definitely in our forecast this week so Mother Nature is certainly on the fritz right now here in Colorado. We’ve been spoiled with the Spring weather when it should have been snowing regularly and now I’m wishing we would have just gotten the…
Four years ago today we learned we were going to be parents. I walked out of the bathroom with that pregnancy test after getting ready to head to work on that Saturday morning. The day we had literally been waiting years for had come. I remember her first sonogram, her first kick and the day…
We are suckers for delicious home cooked meals. We are constantly exploring new flavors and creating new recipes. With Ryan’s culinary history we have a very diverse list of meals that we create every week and enjoy the process. Some are quick and some are longer and drawn out but the truth is – we…
