[image via the influence network & faith dwight]   Well guys, the sickness has now made its way through our house. From me to A to Nate to W, we've all gone through the first round of sniffles, congestion, throat-clearing and sleeplessness...all in one week. Here's to hoping that the weekend is a little better, right?   This weekend looks like we might finally have some respite from the summery temperatures and it might actually start to feel like fall again, so I'm ... continue reading...

Can I be honest with you guys? I read a lot of articles that are written for and shared by moms who work from home, all of which claim to explain how they do it all. Some have childcare, others don't. Some have older kids, some have infants. I read a lot of perspectives, many of which differ from the others and most of which differ from mine. But here's the bottom line: being a work-at-home mom is HARD and we're all looking for ways to get it all done! One of the hardest parts about it ... continue reading...

Am I right y'all?   We had such a great weekend you guys. Time together, beautiful brisk Fall days, sunshine, pumpkins, all of it. And then A and I both caught a yucky cold and then suddenly it all went downhill. If there's anything sadder than a sniffling, coughing, throat-clearing mom then it's a sniffling, runny-nosed, watery-eyed little baby.   Thankfully he seems to be sleeping a lot (we'll see how today goes) so I'm hoping his sweet little body is fighting the cold ... continue reading...

[via my Influence Network membership] Every night after the boys get in bed I come sit down on our couch and zone for a few minutes. Then I pick up my laptop and dig into work for the night, which usually includes some social media stuff for companies and writing my own blog, editing photos, and responding to emails.   Last night I passed out on the couch instead.   It appears that this season's allergies/cold season has overtaken me a little early, and a long weekend of a ... continue reading...

this is a sponsored post. i received Listerine® Brand products from Johnson & Johnson Consumer, Inc as part of my participation in this project, but all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. What if I told you that oral health care impacts more than just your mouth? Or what if you found out that oral health is more than your own personal physical health?   What if you found out that proper oral health really can impact every single aspect of your life? Because guess ... continue reading...

Is it the weekend yet?   Nothing makes a weekend more weekend-y than starting off with a killer brunch on Saturday morning. Mimosas, coffee, and all the other fixin's can kick off a weekend in style, but you don't have to hit up a fancy restaurant to do it right. Making this delicious frittata at home means you can have friends and family over in both comfort and style! Just surround the table with fresh fruit, yogurt, sliced bread and any other goodies you like, then wow them all ... continue reading...

WHEW. What a week y'all! Lots of goodness went down, as well as lots of scary things. No details right now, but just know that life is good and we are thankful. The end.   Also, a great week on the internet! I honestly had a hard time narrowing down just 10 great things to share with you guys, but these are some stand-outs for me. I love feeling inspired in every area of life, and these articles will do just that!   My parents are going to be in town this weekend and I'm so ... continue reading...

What is happening y'all?! I'll be honest, I can't believe how fast this month has flown by. Monday I turn 32 (!!!) years old, and then shortly it'll be October and then we'll be getting ready for Thanksgiving and then Christmas will happen and then our anniversary/Nate's birthday/Valentine's Day and then all of March is birthdays for our kiddos. And then I'll be shocked it's September 2016. I may be getting ahead of myself. But really though, this month has flown by. This past week I got ... continue reading...
