Growing up, I loved to read – I would spend hours in my room reading Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley Twins novels…and R.L. Stine – anyone else?! I was a huge bookworm and found so much joy in reading. I read less and less as I got older, eventually not reading at all when I became a mom. Life was busy with family, kids, work and my blog. I ...
Where to Get Santa Photos in Houston
I was delighted when one of my favorite Houston photographers, Nicole Young, asked if Harper and Lincoln would be her models for the Santa photo experience she's offering! These photos are EVERYTHING. My cheeks hurt from smiling just looking at how precious they all are! We had such a great experience shooting these in-studio with Nicole - we ...
Why I Started Using Retinol Again
Thank you, Olay, for sponsoring this post! When I was in my 20’s, I was sitting in the chair at my dermatologist’s office for a routine skin check and started asking some questions about anti-aging products. I still remember the conversation today: my dermatologist told me that retinol was the only ingredient with tons of science backing its ...
Amazon Sweater Haul
I recently ordered several sweaters on amazon and it's FINALLY cold enough to wear them (in fact, this year's Halloween temp in Houston is supposed to be one of the lowest ever on record!) I shared these sweaters on stories over the weekend but wanted to post them on the blog as well as a reference since stories disappear after 24 ...
All About Potty Training + The Products You Need
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! My children are now 6 and 4 and though I've gotten a ton of questions about the topic, I've never dedicated a full post to potty training - until now! Potty training has so many ups and downs and each child is so different - but the biggest lesson I learned throughout the process is that ...
Amazon Coat Edit
I want, more than anything, for it to be jacket weather on a regular basis here in Houston, but alas, it seems like we won't get cooler temps until November. Having said that, I know a lot of y'all live in parts of the country and outside of the US where it's gloriously cool. Color me jealous! Today's post breaks down some amazon coat finds I ...
Ballard Designs Kerra Sideboard Review
One of the most asked about items in our home is the Kerra Sideboard we purchased from Ballard Designs. I got it during one of their 30% off sales and it’s truly one of my favorite pieces of furniture. I love its bamboo detailing on the cabinet fronts and the unique design on the legs – it also holds a ton on the inside, which is particularly ...
The Jeans + Black Tops You’ll Love for Fall
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! Have you ever found something so good, you text your friends about it? That's how I felt when I put on these $26 jeans from Walmart (yes, $26!!!) I texted a friend, told another mom friend about them while we watched our kids at gymnastics...in other words, these jeans have been mention-worthy! If ...
Lincoln’s Paw Patrol Fourth Birthday Party
Lincoln turned 4 last week and we celebrated with a Paw Patrol party at WonderWild! Many of y'all asked me to source the items from the party so I put together this post to share where I purchased all of the party decor. He was so so excited about his party and just his birthday in general this year. He also finally got the Paw Patrol lookout ...
Friday Five
Happy Friday! There are so many things I haven’t updated y’all on here so I thought today’s Friday Five would include some life updates that I’ve talked a little bit about on IG stories. Chiropractor I had never gone to a chiropractor in my life – in fact, growing up, I was very much taught that chiropractors were not good for your health, ...
