When it comes to food, I’m definitely a creature of habit. Once I find a meal, I’ll happily eat it several times a week without growing tired of it. I’ve been obsessed with this Greek inspired lunch bowl made almost entirely with Trader Joe’s products. Like most millennial women, I…
The Fourth of July used to look a little different before kids. We typically spend this holiday with my husband’s family up in Lake Geneva, and it has honestly become one of my favorite traditions. The days were once filled with boating, late nights, plenty of food and perhaps too…
Just because you became a mom doesn’t mean the things that were important to you before aren’t important anymore. A clean house, strong friendships, hobbies, fitness, career paths are things that don’t suddenly disappear the day you have children. What can change is the way you approach these things. Even…

Valentine’s Day – you either love it or you hate it. Personally, my husband and I are not big Valentine’s people. However, now that we have kids, it seems to have found its magic again! The best part is, you don’t have to go all out or spend a ton…
