I'm back! Boy, I did not plan or expect to step back from blogging for so long. So much has been going on in our life here, as well as in the world, and honestly, I just haven't been able to find the time/mental space to blog!

You've likely heard this before, but my husband and I … [Read more...]
Simple Toddler & Baby Easter Baskets
It's hard to believe we're getting close to Easter already! I think everyone's timelines (and calendars) feel a bit off lately, due to the coronavirus and the unique situation of being at home almost all the time.

DIY St. Patrick’s Day Sensory Bottle
This is our second sensory bottle post! Sophie and I have really gotten into sensory activities lately. It all started when I picked the date to officially begin potty training.

'Tis the season again! I have such fun doing little crafts like these with my kids for the holidays. I'm not generally a very crafty person, but a DIY handprint or footprint craft always seems feasible enough!
