We are just weeks, maybe even days, away from baby boy’s arrival! Our checklist is dwindling and hospital bags are packed. We’ve been trying to narrow down the last essentials in preparation for the baby’s imminent arrival. Meanwhile, his big brother Fox has been…
I learned a lot about baby brands the first time around. We were lucky enough to receive a lot of hand-me-downs from family, but we also put a ton of our own money into trial and error deciding what products we actually needed, which…
I am not a morning person. I never have been and I probably never will be. I’m sleepy and sometimes grumpy because, without fail, my best ideas and creative bursts come late at night, keeping me up late and without rest. Not being a…
I’ve given myself a lot of grace this pregnancy including naps on-demand, not picking up the house when my body just didn’t want to seem to let me, and eating whatever I want (so long as it was baby-safe). I figured that my body…
I don’t know about your family’s schedule, but Saturdays are just as chaotic as the work week. It isn’t until we hit Sunday that I truly feel like I can hit pause and fall off the radar for awhile. For most of our relationship…
I’m doing something a bit different today than I usually do and I’ll be sharing some personal details of pregnancy #2! I entertained the idea of doing a weekly or monthly series outlining all the changes I’m going through, but my pregnancy with Fox…
Let me be up front about this post: there’s nothing extraordinary about it. You will not find magic, secret items to bring with you to the hospital when the day finally comes for you to give birth. The reason behind that? I don’t believe…
If your holiday season was anything like mine, it was pretty wild. We had out of town guests, hosted Christmas Eve dinner, and battled the crazy Buffalo snow while celebrating our butts off! Holiday parties and downtime from school means that we fell into…
Just a few more months and we’ll be a family of four! The truth is that there’s no scientific way to make everything go completely smooth with the addition of a new baby to the household, but there are some things in my control…
It’s been about 15 years since I first started giving gifts just from me for the holidays. It feels like it gets harder each year to find the perfect gift that hasn’t already been given in past years. The one thing that I can…
Now that I’m living nearby to loved ones again, I’m making it my mission to track down and make all the yummy family recipes. One of my favorite dishes my grandmother makes is homemade chicken soup with dumplings, and it’s the perfect time of…
This post is sponsored by Sam’s Club but all thoughts and opinions are my own. I guess it’s about time that we talk about pregnancy #2, yeah? Let’s do it! I took a lot longer (two times as long as my first baby) to…
We did it. Tyler and I have been wanting to do an escape room for 4 years and we finally made it a date night reality. We visited Locked Up Escape Games here in Buffalo where we escaped a serial killer (with only 1:30…
Thank you Maxi-Cosi for sponsoring this post. Keep your little adventurers comfy, safe & stylish with the Maxi-Cosi Magellan 5-in-1 car seat! Without any exaggeration, my husband and I get at least two comments a week from strangers telling us to sign Fox up…
All summer long it seemed like our family was spread out throughout the house avoiding touching anyone or anything — this may sound personal, but I swear it was just because of the lack of air conditioner! Now that the temperatures are significantly dropping…
