It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The season for overindulging and spending way too much time and money on gifts that we don’t really need. Don’t get me wrong, I do love a great, thoughtful gift. I also enjoy filling up my cart at Target or Amazon as much as the next person. …
When I was pregnant with Theo, my first, I joined an online forum for new moms. One of the most frequent conversations was how we were going to survive life with a newborn. There was a baby sleep book thrown around that had an insane amount of controversy: On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant …
Most children are very apprehensive about change, which is understandable. They’ve lived most of their short lives a certain way and when things change, it seems as if their entire world has been thrown upside down. While fear of transition in children is normal, it also can be frustrating in the midst of things because things must get …
When you have twins, most everything you experience with them will be double, both the good and bad. Double the kisses, snuggles, photo ops, first steps, first smiles… it’s truly amazing.

I haven’t met many people who don’t love Fall. There is something about the crisp leaves, the scents of pumpkin spice and apple everything, and the colors of changing leaves that we just love. One of my favorite things to do is decorate my house for fall. This year, we are moving, and so I’m …
YOU GUYS. If you’ve never gotten a house ready to be put on the market, let me tell you… it is a LOT of work. It pretty much meant that we did all of the minor repairs that we’ve been putting off since we became pregnant with twins (hint: that was over 2 years ago!). …
Before I dive right in with my news, there has to be some background information. My husband and I met back in 2010 (we were itty bitty babies!) when we were both living in Florida. I was living in Miami and attending graduate school at the University of Miami (it’s all about the |_|!) and …
Fall is rapidly approaching! This fall craft for kids is easy enough for older toddlers or preschoolers to do and it is SO FUN. Painting fall trees is a great way to teach your children about the leaves changing colors and other things that occur during the autumn months. *Post contains affiliate links. When I …
