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…
If you’re a mom, you know that being efficient is key to a successful outing with kids. When I had my first baby, no matter how far or how long I’d be gone, I packed that diaper bag as if I was leaving for a month. Now with two toddlers,…

I’ll admit it – I’m an Amazon addict. Anything you could need is at your fingertips and you truly can’t beat the fast shipping. As a mom to two toddlers, I’m on there multiple times a week usually ordering and scrolling more often than I’d like to admit. Over the…
Self-care is hard to come by these days. At one point I was blessed by the sleep gods – both my kids slept 7 PM – 7 AM. Unfortunately, those days have come to a pause (I’m choosing to call it a ‘pause’ in hopes that good sleep will find…
With both of my babies, postpartum was by far the most difficult stage for me. One of my absolute favorite nursing jobs was on the postpartum floor. It was generally a happy place to be considering you were in a hospital, and who doesn’t love a new baby?! While this…
One of the most frequent questions I get when I say I stay home with my kids is, “What do you do all day?” (Which… kinda rude) My favorite question is, “Don’t you get bored?” Well, this post is all about that. Trust me, I’d love to have time to…
