I’ve been trying to make working out a priority. It’s been tough the past few years with little ones, but I’m starting to feel like the kids are old enough to let me have twenty minutes to squeeze it in! Sometimes I’ll take them on walks through the neighborhood or we all workout together in the basement as a family – that’s proven to be quite fun! The kids love it. We blast music and the kids have little mini “weights” and they think it’s the best. Which motivates me even mo

A couple weeks ago I took the kids to get ice cream at the cutest little shoppe in Denver! I was so excited to get in the spirit of spring (little did I know we still had more snow coming our way! Gah!). These little cuties of mine were so excited for our ice cream adventure. I’ve wanted to stop by this shoppe for a long time! Blakely’s sandals are the cutest. I had them for her last summer and she wore them all the time, so I got them again! Ryder’s sweater is so cool! He lo

Ryder and his hat obsession. I love it! He’s always been a big fan of hats and has a pretty good collection going! He has always worn them very low, to the point that Tooth and I are like, can he see??? Haha. Silly dude. We keep getting little glimpses of spring and then more snow comes! Gah. Over it. So spring style has been a bit more layered this year. And sweaters are welcome! Blakely’s sweater is the cutest! We got it at Zara when we were in Arizona and I love it. I’m so

Ok. This Colorado weather is killing me. It’s on and off with the hot and the cold (and snow!). Spring! Come to me! So basically it was chilly and windy when we took these pics. The kids weren’t having it. And I’m a baby in the cold.. but we did our best! Ha. Dressing these kiddies of mine sure is fun. I will link everything below! You can see my outfit details here.

The kids playroom is slowly coming together! We finally added a little artwork to the room and I’m loving how it’s coming together! 🙂 These adorable prints are from Snoogs and Wilde. I love them so much. It was hard for me to decide because I wanted everything from the shop. Haha. Typical. 😉 The other side of the playroom has another book shelf (book shelves are from Ikea) and Ryder’s tool bench — but it’s still a mess! We’ve still got some organizing to do. It never ends.

Holy smokes. These kids. #hearteyes Just when we get a tiny taste of spring in the weather, we get some surprise snow last night. Huge flakes while we were grilling burgers for dinner. It is so pretty, but spriiiiiiing, come to me. I love easy tops like this that I can dress up or down. This kinda top is my jam. And this top is $15 and comes in tons of colors!! I want five more. Fuuurr real. And these earrings are such a fun pop. They are super light weight and don’t irritate

It’s been chilly here and we’re kind of over it. Ready for spring blooms and warmer weather. I am ready to tuck away my Uggs in exchange for my flip flops! These cute kids are my life! Their little outfits are darling and a lot is on sale. It was really chilly when we took these pics so I wasn’t expecting a great turn out, but they are adorable! The kids were in the silliest moods and I love those moments. (You know, opposed to the moments when they’re both having melt downs

These kids are too dang cute. I feel like they have the cutest wardrobes, but most the time they are in mismatched pjs, messy hair and covered in marker, food or dirt? Ha. Toddler life is tough, guys. So I love taking the time every now and then to get them dressed and ready. I also hate that I feel like I need a “special” occasion for them to look put together and I kind of save their best outfits for an important occasion that never seems to happen anyway. Tell me I’m not t

We are still working on little details throughout the house. I actually just met with a contractor yesterday to do a few projects around the house and we can’t wait to get those started!! 🙂 So much fun. In Blakely’s room we added this custom script wood name from Modern Birch Co and I loooove it! It is the prettiest little detail in her room and brought everything together. Modern Birch Co is the cutest Etsy shop I discovered on Instagram and I knew I needed this piece the s

These two are funnier than ever lately. They look out for each other and run around the house playing and laughing. Their little conversations crack me up!! I know I always say that, but seriously! It’s obvious they love each other and are partners in crime. They’re getting so big lately and it kinda breaks my heart. I love watching them grow and learn, but it also pains me that it’s all happening so fast. I swear Blakely was just born. And now here she is walking, talking, s

This girl wakes up every morning and the first thing she demands is a tutu or a “pretty dress”. I kinda love it. 😉 She changes 4 times a day and it always carrying around her dance bag (aka her “pink dance purse”). So cute! We got this frill strap leotard from Flo Dancewear and omg. Is it not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen??? She also has several pairs of tights that she loves. I try to keep her from wearing tights every day because I’m overly paranoid about her spilling

We woke up this morning to a little snow! Nothing major, but we’ve had such a dry winter this year, I was excited to see the snow falling when I woke up. These kids are too cute and love making footprints in the snow. 🙂 They seriously think it’s the most fun! I live for easy sweaters like this. So simple and I can throw this on and still look put together. You know, compared to the days I just can’t. And I wear my husbands XXL hoodie around. My exact sweater is sold out – da

Palm trees. They call my name! If I am in the presence of palm trees, I’m a happy camper! (Unless I’m actually camping. Then chances are, I’m not happy.) One of my best friends moved her little family to AZ about a year ago and I am still in denial about it. My friend Heather and I (who I now live two doors down from – is this real life?!?!) were devastated when Britt told us they were moving. But we’ve done our best to visit frequently and it’s been a lot of fun! Heather tex

I haven’t done a craft with the kids in ages. So I decided the kids and I would do a little craft and make some Valentines Day cards for daddy! Crayons, Markers, Stickers – oh my! I’m always surprised how focused and quiet the kids get when I have them sit down and color. I love watching their sweet little faces so focused! Daddy came home from work to surprise cards from the kids and he loved it as much as the kids. Ryd and Blake were so proud of their cards. 🙂 Doing crafts

Here are a few pics from our playroom. It’s currently in the middle of a makeover and I can’t wait to share the updates! But I’ve gotten a lot of questions about pieces in here, so everything is linked below! This room is supposed to be the formal office on the main floor. But since we were loosing our big playroom/open space we had in our previous home, we decided to create a fun space for the kiddies here. And they looooove it. I actually really prefer this to the previous

I’ve mentioned before how much I love decorating the kiddies table for all the holidays. They wake up to the table decorated and love it! It’s a special treat because I always have this set up in the am, so they get to have cupcakes for breakfast. These moments melt me because they get soo excited and say thank you mommy in their little voices. Killssss me. Can I just start by saying these little cake toppers from Top It Off Party are the cutest things ever?? I can’t wait to

This sweet girl. She jut kills me. When we moved into our new house, she started referring to her room as the “pink room”. Haha. I love her. She had the same rug and bedding, but suddenly noticed it was pink and loves it! When she gets really sleepy she comes to me rubbing her eyes and in the cutest whiny/tired voice says mommy I want to go sweep in my pink bed. And it melts me. In her previous room we had two huge built-in bookshelves that Tim made. So we actually really kep

In our master bedroom, there is a lot of work to be done! But like I mentioned in Ryder’s bedroom blog post (here), I am trying to see the beauty in the current situation and find joy. Even in the chaos. And believe me, it’s chaos!! We are still surrounded by boxes and unpacked junk everywhere. Oh, and two little toddles running around making messes and a dog that barks at every freaking sound on planet Earth. But, here we are. Living our lives. Trying to be present. So inste

Ok. I’m sorry in advance for the picture overload. I legit can’t help myself when it comes to these kiddies! I recently wanted to get some pics of the kids in their new rooms. Just documenting this time in our life. Our home is far from being finished (or even unpacked from the previous house!) but I’m trying to be present and find the beauty and joy in the process of all the madness! The kids rooms are probably the most “put together” rooms of the entire house. I really want

Ok. These pics. I can hardly handle all the cuteness. Honestly. I love doing little shoots like this with the kiddies. They are so much fun and the pictures are always my favorite. I got the entire family matching Christmas pjs this year. I’ve never done this before and I’m so happy I did it this year. I wanted to do this shoot with all five of us, but due to lots of sickness and other chaos going on, it just didn’t work out. So we had to shoot on a day while TJ was at school
