When I shared some videos on Instastories & Snapchat recently of some outings with the kids, I got so many direct messages asking about our new stroller--- the Chicco BravoFor2. Now, before we get into this review, this post is in partnership with Chicco, but as always, this is my full and honest review of this stroller and how it works for us ...

Harper & Lincoln Update
Well, this post is LONG overdue. I thought it would be fun to share updates about both Harper and Lincoln in one post because I want to be more thoughtful about sharing these regularly. Harper is four months away from her fourth birthday and watching her imagination grow has been among my favorite things. When she plays with her toys she makes ...
Thank You + 2017 Reader Survey
I say this all the time, but I can't believe I've been blogging for 7 years (!!!) In those 7 years, many of you who were there from the start watched as our lives as newlyweds, homeowners and then, parents, unfolded. Your support and the connection I've had with so many of you over the years has been incredible and I'm so thankful for the ...
Lincoln’s Nursery Reveal! Gender Neutral Safari Nursery
View the full "In the Nursery" feature & my interview at ProjectNursery.com! When we moved into our (now not so new) home, I was about 8 months pregnant and finishing the nursery fell to the bottom of my priority list as we unpacked and settled in. I knew Lincoln would sleep in our room for the first few months anyway, so I put off finishing ...
Lately…
First of all--- thank you so much to all who have reached out saying you miss family life/weekend posts. I've been focusing so much on sharing outfits lately because for the last two years I kept getting feedback that people wanted more style and beauty posts, which was the original basis of my blog. I'm hoping I can find more balance in 2017 and ...

This is the second small shop feature in this series and I'm excited to bring you more as this series continues. As I've said before, introducing my readers to small businesses I love and ...
Lincoln Grey- One Year Update!
We can’t quite believe that our sweet Lincoln Grey is ONE! It went by in a flash and it's still hard to believe my baby is growing into a toddler. You may have noticed I haven’t shared many monthly updates about Lincoln. The honest truth is that the first year of his life was incredibly challenging and amid the joy of watching him learn, grow ...
Leak-Proof Diapers with Luvs
This post is sponsored by Luvs. All thoughts and opinions are my own! Without a doubt, one of the greatest baby milstones is when they start to sleep through the night (can I can an Amen?!) But with that comes really heavy diapers and sometimes, leaks. Luvs contacted me recently to test out their new Luvs Ultra Leakguards with NightLock Plus™. ...
Our Weekend…
Wow! Thank you for all of your wonderful comments on my Instagram post this weekend! Our family photos were what you'd expect for a family with a toddler and baby...kind of a shitshow...but would they really be family photos otherwise? I don't know one family that has a perfect family photo-taking experience, so it looks like we're on the right ...
