Seasonal pop tarts are one of my favorite treats to make – not only do the girls love them but they are nostalgic and delicious for me, too! I’ve tried many recipes over the years (you can see my Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts & Valentine’s Day Pop tarts) and have learned a few tricks to […]

Now that Flora’s attention span is getting a little bit longer for sensory activities I’ve been having fun coming up with a few different things to do with her every week. She had fun with this ball drop – and so did Piper! I think it’s one that she’ll come to enjoy more as she […]

Flora officially is starting to look more like a toddler than a baby and it kind of breaks my heart!! This age is so fun yet also SO exhausting. Since Flora started walking (!!!) she’s into any and everything and we constantly have to have an eye on her. We are also in major need […]

Looking for a really cute Valentine’s Day treat for teachers or babysitters, or a girlfriend? I wanted to share what we are doing this year – I’m picking up Starbucks gift cards and sticking them inside these cute pink cups. The only downfall with these pink disposable coffee cups (from Amazon) is that you have […]

Pesto Salmon + Veggies: This is back in my weekly rotation. I like to use the vegan pesto from Trader Joe’s and I picked up some new frozen carrot coins they had that looked good. I’m trying to eat leafy greens with every meal so I’ll probably make a salad, too!  And with the rest […]

Sensory bins are great for both babies and toddlers (Piper has been engaged with EVERY sensory activity I’ve created so far for Flora). This sensory rice activity is so easy and Flora (13 months) really LOVED it. I was nervous about the clean up – but putting down a towel, playing on tile or wood […]

Happy Friday….. hope your week was better than mine! Excited to catch up on some sleep and house stuff this long weekend and maybe get some snow :)  I’m so saddened to hear that Gymboree is closing. We worked with them in the fall as they revamped their site and designs an I got all […]

  Ready for more shopping? I love getting my girls little Valentine’s Day treats – usually a new book, sweet and then something else. Here are some fun kids Valentine’s ideas!  Navy & Red Pjs Cuddle & Kind Doll  Heart Clutching Toy LOVE Book (we have this cutie) Conversation Heart Bib Unicorn Bathing Suit Wooden […]

Valentine’s Day is just two weeks away — here are a few of the things on my personal wish list (hint, hint Austin)!

Like most bloggers my life looks pretty picture perfect on Instagram (haha) but we all know that’s far from the case. I thought I’d start incorporating my weekly mom fails in my Friday posts because I know you can all relate. I’d love to hear yours, too! Find of the week — I’m always on […]

I have such a sweet tooth and always like to have baked goods lingering in our cabinet shelves to grab in the morning to eat with my coffee (before my green smoothie, of course!). I made these super easy vanilla baked donuts a few weeks back and we ate them pretty quickly as they don’t […]

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner… which means it’s an excuse to drink festive cocktails with your girlfriends or lover. I hope you enjoy these easy, colorful concoctions I came up with. The heart ice cubes are my favorite and would be so fun for a kids mocktail, too! Cheers to the weekend!  Maraschino […]
