My friend Rosalyn doesn’t know I’m writing about this today, but she did something for Jamie and me almost two years ago that I’ll always remember. We moved to Arizona in March of 2014 when Hadley was four months old, and shortly after our move I found myself struggling in every sense of the word. I missed my family (who… Keep Reading
9 Winter Coats from Nordstrom Under $100
My winter coat situation goes like this every single year: I realize in October that I need a new winter coat, I look at the hefty, full price tags, and decide that I can get by with my older coats until spring when I’ll find one on a discount during the end-of-season sales.

He gave me one of these nuggets a couple of years ago that… Keep Reading

I first made homemade Valentine’s cards with Hadley when she was 2.5 months old, and we decided to continue spreading a little February love again last year to our families…. Keep Reading

Good morning and happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend and maybe enjoyed a bit of snow! We got about five inches last Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and my little snow bunny has thoroughly enjoyed frolicking in it the last few days.
