Hello SPRING! Kansas is the first place we’ve lived where we’ve truly experienced all four seasons, each for a good length of time! The winters are brutal (that wind!) and the summers sometimes feel like a hairdryer, but I’ve really loved the spring and fall the last 2.5-3 years we’ve lived here. Excited to start getting outdoors on the regular… Keep Reading
Balancing Working from Home While Being a Stay-At-Home Mom
I originally titled this post “Tips for Working from Home”, and then I thought… I don’t have any magic tips for working from home. In fact, I kind of stink at it most of the time. 🙂 I get emails a lot asking about how I balance blogging while also parenting my two kids, and I always try to be upfront that it’s… Keep Reading
The Saturday Sit-Down #10: The Girl Who Loved to Write
There are a handful of blogs that I type in directly to visit almost every day, and Chelsea’s is one of them. I found her blog randomly two or three years ago, and I was captivated by what a great writer she is. I’ve told her a million times that I hope to see her write a book one day!… Keep Reading
What Would You Do Differently?
I had the most interesting conversation with a loved one months ago that I’ve given a lot of thought to ever since; I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic! We were casually talking all things parenting, and she mentioned that her only regret from raising her children was that she yelled too much at times. Her children have been adults for… Keep Reading
Slice of Life: March 16th, 2017
What a week! We’ve been busy around here! Hadley would say that the last few days have gone down as three of her favorite ever – she had her first real sleepover with friends. 🙂 One of my girlfriends went into labor on Monday, so I met her family at the hospital, scooped up her two daughters, and brought them… Keep Reading
March Gift Guide: 15 Gifts Under $40
Hellooooo! How was your weekend? Saturday was snowy and gray, so we used the indoor time to knock out FRG work and other various volunteer or event-related tasks while the girls napped, wreaked havoc in their playroom, or watched Netflix. Definitely not my most favorite way to spend a Saturday, but it felt good to put a million checkmarks in… Keep Reading

Slice of Life + the End of a Wild Journey: March 9th, 2017
I didn’t think I had much to share in this “Slice of Life” since we haven’t been up to anything too exciting, but then I started grabbing pictures from my phone and realized that I have all kinds of things to blab about. 🙂 After hemming and hawing for literally two years over whether or not we should get rid… Keep Reading
