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,…
These sure aren’t the prettiest Valentines Day cards but Brady had so much fun making them. They are also really simple and quick to make for those of us parents who wait until the last minute to make Valentines Day cards for classmates. Supplies Paper Scissors Tape Markers/ crayons Suckers Steps Fold the paper in half. Draw a half butterfly…
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…
I’m admitting it, I’m one of those basic white chicks who act like loving coffee is a personality trait! But let’s be real, I don’t have a personality so let me pretend coffee is. Haha but in all seriousness, I’m obsessed with coffee, (in case you couldn’t tell by my blog name). It just makes me happy! A hot breakfast…
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…
In my opinion, babies are pretty easy to shop for! The younger they are the less personal interests they have haha! It’s such a fun time to buy things that YOU like and dress your baby the way you want to. I always tell people, the first year is about what the parent likes. We get to pick the first…
I don’t know about you but I am not a mushy lovey-dovey person. I love my husband a ton, but I’m just not a super romantic person. As a teenager, I was always bummed if I didn’t have a boyfriend for Valentines Day. As an adult, I no longer see Valentines Day as a romantic holiday. To me, it is…
