We are heading on a long road trip to Maine and I thought I’d update this old post with toddler friendly activities for the car. While I’m all for using the iPad to watch movies and shows on long road trips I definietly don’t want Piper glued to a screen for 15 hours. Many of […]

TGIF Mamas!! We had so much fun visiting Santa yesterday :) The girls tree dresses are still in stock in some sizes and they got so many compliments on them as we walked through the mall! December is flying by and I’m determined to find some down time this weekend to get our Christmas cards […]
