We just celebrated Brady’s 6th birthday last week and decided to give him a “big kid” bed he’s been wanting. We have rapidly outgrown our townhome since having Catalina so we needed to free up some space in the kids’ room. His previous bed took up so much room and made the area feel cluttered and small. We designated a…
Who doesn’t love Freshly Picked soft sole moccasins?! I always thought they were adorable and couldn’t wait to put a pair on Catalina. But I honestly could not get myself to spend $60+ on a pair of shoes that she would grow out of quickly. I did some searching and found a ton of Freshly Picked dupes on Amazon! Babe…
One of my favorite things about North Carolina is how supportive everyone is of local businesses. Growing up in West Virginia I saw small businesses come and go within one month! People in my town did not support the people in their communities trying to build up new restaurants and stores. One of my former co-workers started a business with…
One of my favorite things about blogging is all of the fun experiences it has provided for me and my family! Last summer we were invited to a Durham Bulls baseball game and participated in breaking a world record. I also got to go on a blogger trip to Fayetteville North Carolina, (in a legit party bus)! The list could…
Brayden just started preschool this last fall and I am so glad that we chose the school that we did! He was so mad when I decided not to homeschool him, (mamma was not cut out for that)! He pouted about it for days. But after just one week at his school, he loved it! He loves his teachers, classmates,…
I often hear so many stories about mothers getting discouraged when it comes to breastfeeding. There are also numerous articles talking about how difficult it is. As if there aren’t enough articles telling pregnant women and mothers to be afraid and unconfident. While breastfeeding isn’t exactly as Ali Wong described her expectations, “I thought it was supposed to be this…
As an adult, it drives me crazy to have mismatching dishes! I like for all of my glasses to match, (Joel and I fight about him wanting to save every jar to drink out of). I also like for all of my plates and bowls to be the same color and shape. Kids dishes on the other hand are so…
This past weekend, Joel and I took the kids out for a fun day in Raleigh North Carolina. We had a fun (and loud) family breakfast at ihop, or as Brayden calls it, “ihock“. I decided to make a short family vlog out of it! We went to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science in downtown Raleigh, then had…
At almost 26 years old, I finally decided to start being a real adult. Joel and I looked at our monthly spending habits and were shocked! We couldn’t believe how much money we were spending on food, (and Starbucks). We were spending $200+ on groceries every week, while also eating out. Our Starbucks consumption was also a daily habit. With…
I may or may not have lost my mind when I came across these downloadable Downton Abbey Valentines Day cards… First of all, who doesn’t love Downton Abbey?! Second, I can’t believe these downloads are free! I had to share these Valentine cards designed by Jenny from Yenniper. Not only do they look great, but she killed it with her…
