We’ve all spent a lot of time in my living room over the past year and, if you’re anything like me, you’re starting to look at the spaces in your home feeling like it’s time to switch things up. I didn’t want to spend…
Before we moved into our home this past fall, I was hellbent on turning the one area of my downstairs into a breakfast nook. I envisioned my kids eating meals there and doing homework — a true hub for us all to reconvene around.…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. I still vividly remember walking through the craft store in Ohio more than 10 years ago ogling the Cricut on the shelf (and all…
I hate to admit it, but Fox had never really slept in his bed until recently. I’d tried just about everything from Dockatot shifting, “big boy” bed with his original crib mattress, new bedding, new stuffed animals, a fancy nightlight, and more. Getting myself…
