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.

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

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 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

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

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

I’m genuinely starting to wonder if we’re going to get any snow in these parts?! I am really looking forward to it because it helps it feel like winter/holiday season. All the holidays have slipped through my fingers this year (we’ve been a little bit busy) but I am so looking forward to our first Christmas in our new home. The kids are also starting to get the Santa thing and that is so adorable and loads of fun! We still need to take the kids to visit Santa this year and I

Ok. I legit can’t handle these kids and all their cuteness. This phase of life is so hard. Having two toddlers is a roller coaster. Some days are smooth with little to no tantrums and things run smoothly. But honestly, most days aren’t. One or both are whining or screaming. Or they’re fighting. Lots of “bummers” (aka time outs). I feel like a referee most days. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Don’t get me wrong, I reallllly appreciate date night and the little time I do

A couple weeks ago we went to the cutest little berry farm! I’ve always looked forward to doing activities like this with the kids. The both loved it!! When we got there, we rode over to the back of the berry farm to pick the strawberries. Ryder loved the tractor that pulled us and it was a beautiful day. Early fall here is tricky because it can go from chilly to HOT quick. So I was dripping sweat in my denim and long sleeve top! Haha. This berry farm is in Brighton and I hig

Most days I am dressed super casual. Mommin’ aint easy! And I feel so restricted with my kiddies when I’m not dressed for the occasion. So I’m usually in leggings (or very stretchy denim), some sort of flip flop or flats and an easy, simple tee. This outfit here is very plain (no patterns or colors) but I really like mixing patterns and colors. I’m not big into “matching”. As I write this I am wearing purple pants, white and black striped shirt, cream sweater, teal converse a

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

These kids of mine are the light of my life! Every time we do a little mini shoot and I get pictures back, I get alllll the heart eyes! 🙂 I will link our outfits below. You can also see my outfit post here. The other day my husband and I were talking about traits we hope our kids get from us and all the great qualities we saw from our own parents. This conversation quickly led to the traits we hope our kids don’t get from us. Ha! Every parent has that thought, right?! The fi

I’m sure it comes as no shock that this is what I look like most days. With two toddlers, I am constantly covered in food!!! Seriously, so much food. This comfy sweater from Target is a must-have. I have two of them and love them so much. These are also my go-to leggings (I have four pairs!). This tote is a favorite of mine. It’s so big and can hold everything I need. My love for totes is real, guys. And this one is my favorite. It reversible and comes in another pattern. Thi
