Answering some of the questions I get asked most frequently about Flora’s food allergies AND kicking off a weekly series where I will be talking about food allergies over on @TheMamaNotes Instagram account!! This post is just an overview of how we got here :) I’m not a doctor OR expert!!! How did you know […]

I’m so excited to share my next travel guide! If you’re not familiar with how my travel guides work around here — I typically am only able to jet away for 24-72 hours since I have 2 young children. I try to pack as much as I possibly can into that time period and share […]

In the past few years we’ve started buying a lot of our PJs on Amazon. They are affordable and hold up well which is nice for growing babies! Here are a few favorite kids PJs from Amazon and new styles that I found when working on this post. Polka Dots: Can’t go wrong with this […]

It’s been entirely too long since I did one of my weekly recaps. I really struggle with consistency here and it’s something I am trying to hold myself accountable for and work on this year! I really love putting these posts together because it’s an excuse to read blogs for an hour :) Here are […]

It’s hard to believe it’s already May and we are almost halfway through 2019. It’s finally warm here and summer feels so close! Here are few things on my radar right now. 1.Manuka Oil: I swear this oil is helping the acne I’ve been persistently getting on my cheek for the last 6 months. I […]

Mandy and I are excited to announce the Modern Moms May Book Club pick, The Gift Of The Happy Mother!!! It’s perfect for Mother’s Day and I can’t wait to dive in! “Would you rather have a perfect mom, or a happy one?” This is the question that Rebecca Eanes couldn’t get out of her head. […]

Mama: CarolanBaby: CullenSize: 7 lbs 6 oz, 21″Location: Georgia   I fully believe my exercise regime helped me prepare for the worst pain I’ve ever experienced and mentally achieve one of the hardest physical feats a human can naturally face (I’ve run three marathons and you gotta have some major grit to get through them).  […]

The BIG Sephora Insider sale has started!!! If you’re into skincare and makeup then you probably already know the sad fact that it does not go on sale. So this is an amazing chance to stock up on products that you usually can never get for a discount. It’s a little confusing – so here’s […]

I just posted a video showing how I do my every day, simple makeup routine. I really never have longer than 15-20 minutes to completely get ready and my hair and skincare routine take more time – so I try to keep my makeup quick! You can watch the video HERE. Here’s all the products […]

We’ve accumulated quite a few outdoor toys in the past few months and today I thought I’d share our favorites that the girls are loving. Be sure to check out our summer activities post for fun ideas! *This post has been updated to include favorites from The Mama Notes Community!  Water Table Piper’s water table […]

Snack boxes!! I’ve seen this idea on Pinterest for years, and last summer before our 12+ hour journey to Maine I bought one to fill for Piper but ultimately decided she was still a little young (just having turned 3). But on our 6 hour trip down South last week I knew Piper was ready […]

I made these cute little DIY busy bags for the girls before our spring & summer travel kicked off. I plan on rotating what’s inside them but always keeping them in our diaper bag or my purse when we are on-the-go. I’ve found the key with busy bags is to keep the items inside FRESH! […]
