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…
Whether you’re looking for a Starbucks drink that’s suitable for children, or you are personally avoiding caffeine, I’ve put together a list of everything I could find on the menu that is caffeine free. DO NOT ORDER THE REFRESHERS! Many people assume that they are not caffeinated but they have a lot of caffeine. I just wanted to get that…
As someone who really appreciates anything adorable, I love how far baby products have come! Not only are they functional but they are now cute as well. I have noticed that teething toys are often times the most adorable shapes and colors! Most of my reviews take the aesthetic of products into consideration because in all honesty, it’s something that…
The day finally came. A day I have been dreading for quite some time. I knew it would happen soon, especially now that Brayden is in school and has a few friends. Brady was invited to his first birthday party outside of the family! I hesitated on attending but it was his best school friend’s party. I kind of had…
