We have been LOVING planning this Disneyland themed birthday party for my daughter’s 12th birthday! She wanted to go with the Disneyland/Vintage Theme Park theme and I was SO excited about it. How fun and different! She loved picking things out for the decorations and obviously planning the menu. Girl after my own heart. She…
If you know us in real life or follow me on Instagram, you know we love going to Great Wolf Lodge! We go to the Scottsdale location as we live in Arizona, but they also have locations all over the United States! *FOR REFERNECE ON THIS POST WE HAVE ONE 11-YEAR-OLD AND ONE 8-MONTH-OLD* We…
Over the last six months we have really gotten serious about looking at the products we are using in our home and the things we are putting into and onto our bodies. It’s ABSURD how many toxins and chemicals are in our everyday lives. Truly. Just looking at the ingredient labels makes me sick. (Literally…
It’s no secret that I love to write. Over the years though, I have felt that people just weren’t interested in blogs any more. I saw bloggers talking about how blogging was dead and I just convinced myself that no one wanted to read traditional blogs anymore. That might be true, but I never set…

Alright, we are really doing this! We are homeschooling!!! *deep breaths* I will start by saying I NEVER thought I would be this mom or we would be the homeschool type of family. We LOVE our school district and our teachers and never thought we would pull our child away from that. I worked at…
We are all on the same page that COVID sucks and has ruined way too many things, right?! Okay good, now that we can all agree on that, let’s move on…. I’m a firm believer in finding silver linings in every situation and this was totally one of those things! Sweet Brinlee was set to…
Different strokes for different folks. If you’ve been my friend for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard me say that by now. Really, I say it at least once a day. But it’s SO. DARN. TRUE. You may like something that I hate, and that’s cool! You might live your life totally different than…
