When I was a kid, we had a movie night tradition every Friday night at home. My mom would let us wander the Blockbuster aisles forever (even though ultimately all 3 of us kids picked the same movies over and over again), and we’d order pizza for dinner. It was a tradition I loved, so …

The most requested topic I receive has always been (and continues to be) day in the life posts! I try to write at least one of these each year to look back and see how much our lives have changed in such a short time! The kids are growing so fast and it always blows …
Last week I requested your tips and tricks for making motherhood and/or life generally easier on Instagram Stories. The response was incredible. In fact, I received so many amazing pieces of advice that I decided to turn this post into a Homemaker Tips series and will share the tips by categories. Whether managing your home …
Getting out the door in the morning with two pre-schoolers can be a struggle for our family. More often than we’d like, Matt and I roll out of bed and begin the mad dash to get ready the second we hear our kids stirring upstairs. And the chaos begins. Together, Matt and I tag team …
We recently received proofs from school picture day. In the past I’ve totally been suckered in to paying $100+ for just a few printed photos…plus another $50 for the CD of digital images. Not this year. Instead, I got a little clever and decided to pick out a few images from each of the three …
Growing up, my mom whipped up a wonderful, homemade meal for dinner every single night (with the exception of Friday pizza night). Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she managed to do that with 3 kids, while also chauffeuring us to multiple sports practices each night, policing all the homework, keeping the house clean …
Yesterday Thomas and Caroline started their new classes — Threes & Older Fours. The happy news…Thomas has Caroline’s old teachers who we adore and couldn’t be more excited about, and the sad news…this is the last year the kiddos will be together in daycare. How did this happen so fast?! When I grow up I …
I had a lot of questions about how I meal plan after posting my most recent grocery store receipt savings. I promise it’s super easy and doesn’t take a lot of time to do but makes a huge difference in our week. I’m not a crazy coupon cutter (anymore) I just try and shop whatever …
Here it is, friends! Today I am sharing a day in our life – the most requested topic ever. Although our routine seems a little boring, I do love reading these types of posts — because I’m nosy. And I like to know what other people do all day, what they make for dinner, what they wear, …
One of the most popular topic requests I regularly receive is “A Day In the Working Mama Life” post! I am always so curious to know what a day inside the life of other working mamas looks like — especially ones that travel. How do they prepare to go out of town? How do they …
In my last reader survey the #1 most requested topic was how I “balance it all!” I am always surprised to get this poll result/reader email request/Instagram message, etc. because I really don’t ever feel like I’m balancing anything well but am glad it looks like that from the outside! Today I thought I would …
One of the most requested topics I regularly receive from readers is how we managed two kids under two years old. It’s taken me forever to write this post because truthfully I have no idea how we did it. It was such a blur. Our first year with two kids 14 months apart was our …
