A Stylish Easter : The Best Modern + Boho Easter Decor on Amazon
Does anyone else find it ridiculously tricky to hunt down Easter décor that doesn’t scream "preschool classroom"? If you've been around here for a bit, you know I'm all about decking the halls for holidays, but Easter has always been a tough nut to crack. Well, not anymore! After hours of scouring Amazon, I've unearthed some seriously fun (and dare I say, more grown-up) decorations. So, if you're ready to bid farewell to Valentine's Day and embrace the vibes of Easter and spring, I've got you covered!
New Year : A 52-Week (Quick!) Decluttering Challenge
In the spirit of creating more physical (and mental) space to enjoy life, I’ve created a 52-week decluttering challenge! You know that feeling when everything (ok most things - ha!) in your home are in their place? No searching for the car keys in the morning rush, no stumbling over toys on the way to the bathroom at night, no obstacles between you and your clothes in the closet? Ahhhh.
Christmas Traditions : White Elephant Gift Exchange
Need to liven up your holiday gathering? It’s not too late to turn it into a White Elephant gift exchange! A White Elephant exchange is sure to liven up your event: Imagine the room filled with giggles, belly laughs, and maybe even a few snorts. The sheer unpredictability of who ends up with what creates an atmosphere of joy and amusement! It's the perfect activity for family gatherings, office parties, or a festive get-together with friends. It breaks the ice, creates bonds, and gives everyone a shared experience to reminisce about later.
Celebrating Tiny Warriors : A Reflection on World Prematurity Day
As you can imagine, World Prematurity Day is dear to our hearts. It’s a time to celebrate Alex, to be extra thankful, and to support other parents who are going through their own journey. I know it can be hard to relate to this experience if you’ve never been through it. And because we’re here to celebrate life’s moments - no matter how imperfect they are - I’d love to share my thoughts on navigating this emotional experience.
Squad ghouls : A Case for Family Costumes
One of my favorite Halloween traditions is choosing family costumes. The excitement of brainstorming ideas and bringing them to life was slightly easier before Alex had a say, but I love that he has a (strong) opinion now! If you want to do family costumes this Halloween but don’t know where to start, just know it doesn’t have to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive!
