Gift giving is one of my favorite thing to do. It always has been, but since having children, and seeing their excitement and belief in the magic of Santa and the Easter Bunny, I can’t help but love it that much more. I adore picking up fun, special things to put in my kids baskets. [...]

Last night was J-man’s school musical [...]

After joining the MapMyFitness challenge I have been a lot more consistent with my workouts and when I do workout I feel amazing afterward. Have you joined yet? If you haven’t [...]
I would love to see a world where every baby is born healthy and into a home that can nurture and care for them in a way that keeps them healthy and thriving. I know this is wishful thinking, and that to think this could truly happen definitely doesn’t seem realistic, but the thought is [...]
Recently it occurred to me that I actually need to start thinking about what we need to do and get for our summer vacation. Going away as a family of 8 for an entire week to the lake 6 hours away takes a lot of planning. Sure, there’s a lot of things that have to [...]
