Holy cow, how is this little guy already TWO?! I had so much fun planning his birthday party this year and since he has such a love for all things cowboy, yee-haw and horses, coming up with a theme was a no brainer! I absolutely love doing this type of stuff, I have my entire life, but I also know it can be overwhelming, so I tried to be specific with details below if you wanted to recreate any portion on his party/theme. I will say, planning, having a toddler, getting ready for a move and being pregnant just about did a number on me, ha! I think I am good with the events for a little while. Where We...

Ladies, we all can agree that 2020 has been a tough year for moms. Just when you felt that you were turning a corner, with your kiddos getting more independent, a pregnancy behind you, or even just the mild satisfaction that your kids were settling into the school year and a solid routine, the Coronavirus hit. Quarantines, homeschooling, and loved ones who were at risk of contracting the virus, or even worse. It’s been a tragic time for the world and a challenging time for moms at home with their kids. Many have been straddling their jobs with cooking, cleaning, and making sure their kids were staying focused online. No more dashes to the gym, walks or runs outside, coffee...
Hypothetical situation. Let’s say a woman lands her absolute dream job. It’s the job description she wants, the salary she wants, the hours she wants, the location she wants. Great boss, great benefits, great perks. She’s happy and fulfilled at her workplace and feels very lucky and grateful to have this job. She will still have a bad day now and then. She will more than likely encounter tasks she has to complete that she doesn’t enjoy. She may have to work late some days, she may have a co-worker that she doesn’t get along with, she may have a stressful deadline. Even though this is her DREAM job, it won’t always be perfect. I imagine that this girl would...
I consider myself to be a pretty organized, minimal-ish person, but there is one big area that has always presented a challenge: kid’s clothes! The first year of life is especially full of clothes since there are so many sizes (newborn, 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 months) and you need a new wardrobe for each size. It slows down a little after that but you’re still changing sizes and seasons and needing clothing in each stage. I don’t try to achieve capsule wardrobes or limit a closet to a certain number of items, but even for someone trying to keep wardrobes small – it’s a lot of clothing! To give you an idea of how much clothing we use at each...
