I’ve been doing A LOT of thinking lately about parenthood and this crazy time in our children’s lives of tweens + teens… if I am being blatantly honest, it’s absolutely exhausting = I remember how hard this time was when I was growing up. And I feel like kids have it SO MUCH HARDER these […]

Summer’s here, and while our schedule is anything but slow—hello, travel plans and nonstop dance craziness—I’ve found that having a simple routine at home helps keep everyone on the same page because if you live with me, there is no time to be a couch potato. With two tween girls in the mix, I’ve gone […]

So… a few months ago my baby turned 13 and now this fireball is about to turn 12?? Do you ever look around and ask yourself “how did we get here so fast”? Yes I do that ALL the time these days! This will make you laugh… because of how the calendar falls this year, […]

Ohhhh a little Friday happy headed your way. It’s been FOREVER since I’ve gotten the chance to chat all things home decor + design and I have MISSED it so much… after all Jeff and I always love a project! I’ve been hinting about some new renovations we decided to tackle at the house this […]

Hard to believe this baby of mine [and yes she is still my baby] will be turning the big 1-3 in a little less than a month, and no, if you find me hiding in a corner… I am not OK, and yes, tears will absolutely be shed come March 17th. How is my little […]

I don’t know if you’re like me, but when it comes to gifting for your kids, it is TOUGH!! One because I feel like they don’t truly need anything and now that they are getting older the gifts are getting way more expensive… but goodness, I still get giddy come Christmas morning to see them […]

I love to write to my girls… whether it’s little notes in their backpacks or sending them quotes to start their day off right—it’s always been something I’ve tried to be intentional about. To let them know they are on my mind, to tell them good luck for an upcoming quiz, or if they need […]

The one you’ve been waiting for… the big reveal! I know I have made you wait long enough, but I assure you it’s WELL worth it = the transformation that nearly took two years, but the end result is even more fabulous than we first envisioned… Carson’s tween boudoir in all its colorful glory! Inspired […]

It’s that time of year again… all things back to school!!! I know, didn’t we just start summer a few weeks ago??? As the new school year approaches, having the right essentials can make all the difference = plus there is nothing I love more than some good school supply shopping = a new backpack […]

In the summertime, there are far less rules in our house… less days the girls have to make their bed, less days they need to eat balanced meals and let’s be honest, I might get a little crazy and venture off the normal straight and narrow, too. Afterall, I only get 18 summers with my […]
