Cheesy Chicken Tots & Purposeful Family Meal Time

I make an effort to have the family sit down together as often as possible each week to eat a family dinner together. I keep it simple. Super simple, haha. Usually we are eating with paper plates and the water bottles the kids have been using throughout the day. The point of this meal together isn’t to be impressive or fancy. It’s just to be together. The kids help set the table and we always use (easy to clean) placemats and have a candle. These are things I need for it to f

Valentine’s Day 2019

I’ve always been a fan of Valentine’s Day! So nice to have a fun little holiday to look forward to after the Christmas hangover + cold January days. I love the bright, happy colors and of course the candy! The kids love when they wake up to new decorations on their table. Which is maybe the cutest thing ever, seeing their reactions and excitement. 🙂 I have a vivid memory of a special Valentine’s Day when I was little. I’m not sure how old I was, but my dad woke me up before

Sweet Cooies Adventure

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

Human Jungle Gym

I feel like a punching bag most of the time. The kids are demanding things of me most of the time. Because, you know. They’re toddlers and they need help. With pretty much everything. But they don’t want help. And someone *cough*Blakely*cough* will let you know when she doesn’t want your help!! It’s this or they’re climbing all over me. I physically feel beaten a lot of the time. Is this normal?! Hmm… They aren’t hurting me on purpose. They’re just crawling on me. Climbing on

Blakely the Ballerina

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

Winter Funderland

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

Valentines Craft + Cards for Daddy

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

Playroom in our New Home

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

B Box Sippy Cups + Nap Time

I never knew how much fun it would be to try out new baby products until I was a couple years into motherhood. It’s sooo fun trying new things. All the cute designs and new ideas out there are awesome. These b box sippy cups are so cute! They have a weighted straw at the bottom of the cup, so when the kid tips the cup in any direction, the straw moves around so the kids can still get the liquid out! Genius. These are our go-to sippy cups these days. I also love the colors. My

Beau Hudson + Twinning!

If you guys haven’t heard of Beau Hudson yet, you’re missing out! I started shopping this line when Ryder was little and I have loved everything we’ve ever gotten from there. The first thing I ever got was a scarf and beanie for Ryder when he was a little babe and people literally died over it. 🙂 It’s seriously the cutest!! Ryder is wearing these shorts. They are so soft and comfy! He’s also wearing their striped shirt and hat! You guys know Ryd loves hats. Haha. I’ve been i

Family Photos with Lisa Pummel @ Rose Garden

The past couple years I have decided to get family pictures taken in the summer time because all the kids have birthdays in the summer. So it’s fun to do a little shoot each year as a family. I love seeing the difference year after year! This year Lisa recommended we shoot at this gorgeous rose garden in Littleton. I had no idea this place even existed! It was so pretty and we were lucky to get wonderful weather the night of our shoot. It’s so hard to get five people to look

Back to School with Freshly Picked

Ok, I may cry for a week straight. Ryder starts school in two weeks from today!!! He is so excited and has been to a few fun camp days they host at his preschool this summer. He loves it and walks in, no worries at all! I, on the other hand, sit back waving franticly for 6 minutes while all the teachers smile at me (but I know inside they are rolling their eyes!!) because I’m that mom. I can’t believe how quick this day has come and I am not ready to cut the cord!! But he is

Greenhouse Fun!

A few weeks ago I took the kiddies to a greenhouse and it was so much fun! The flowers were beautiful. The kids also loved riding in the wagons, collecting rocks and then… the bugs! Ryder has never really been a bug lover. He has no feelings either way when he sees bugs around. But Blakely is totally freaked out by anything that resembles a bug! Even if it’s just a picture. Ha!! Such a girly girl and I love it. 🙂 My denim tie sleeve shift dress is from Target! It really is s

Lemonade Stand Fun!

Both Ryder and Blakely have birthdays in July, so this month is always really busy for us! I’ve always been really into throwing huge custom birthday parties for the kids on their birthdays – both of their first birthday parties were huge! But I decided not too take on such a huge project this year since our house is on the market and life seems to be busier than ever. So I chose to take the easy route and throw them a joint birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese this year. And gu

Target, Old Navy, Etsy – Oh My!!

Have I mentioned that I love dressing these kids of mine?? 😉 I dread the day that Blakely won’t let me dress her. I already have to hold her down to put her hair up. And then I have to sneak in those bows when she isn’t looking. Ha! I have a deep love for Etsy shops. I love supporting small shops and always have way too many things in my cart! Who’s with me?? I love getting outfits for Blakely from Old Navy. They fit well and are soo cute. I also love the prices and sales! T

Park Days + New Toy!

A couple weekends ago, we spent the morning at the park and I surprised the kids with a new toy. They were both so excited! I got these adorable popsicles from Amazon and they carry them everywhere! I recently got the kiddies new backpacks (Ryder’s here, Blakely’s here) and they stuff them with toys and carry them everywhere around the house. It’s so cute! I also let Ryder pick his out and he thinks it’s sooooo cool. Ryder’s tee is from Ily Couture. This is one of my favorite

Summer Toddler Style

We had such a great weekend with the kiddies! Summer is ON! And I am so excited about it. But wowsa, going to the pool with two toddlers is going to be interesting this summer. Ha. The kids outfit deets are all linked below. My full outfit blog post is here. I seriously have so much fun dressing these two. It’s getting harder to dress Ryder, just because he is picky! Only wants shorts. He is obsessed with black so he wants “black shorts”, “black shirts”, and “black shoes”… et

Bubble Party + The Baby Cubby

Hey guys! I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend celebrating Memorial Day with family and friends! We had a full weekend of fun but I try to carve out some time every evening after dinner to play with bubbles. The kids love playing with bubbles! We have so much fun playing with our bubble machine, bubbles guns and sidewalk chalk. I am loving the ages of the kiddies right now. They really are so funny and their little baby/toddler conversations about gibberish just kill m

Our Big Announcement!!

Some big news over here! We are moving!! Tooth and I have made the tough decision to move our family from our current home. We are heartbroken to leave the home we’ve spent the past six years making our own, but it’s obvious that it is the best decision for our family. (We will still be in Colorado! And hopefully not far from here we currently live.) To make a long story short, we’ve felt it pressing on our hearts that we need to move for several reasons. We are so sad and it
