The things you do as mom matter
The things you do as a mom matter. All of it. The things you think don’t matter, the things you hate to do, and the things you love to do. The Lego building and block stacking and pretending to eat (and love) the strawberry chocolate milkshake they just pretended to make for you. Silly faces…

Everyday Life
There’s not a type of illness I hate more than the stomach flu. I will take a cold, sinus infection or even strep throat over the flu. We’ve had the dreaded tummy bug go through our house pretty much the whole month of January. Poor Riley’s had it three times this month and the words…

The food was all themed around fire fighters, there were…

Pipe Cleaner Pokes
I made this busy activity for Riley for our road trip vacation to Las Vegas. We were going to be on the road for 9+ hours and though we were breaking it up into 2 days and making stops along the way, I knew I needed something to keep both boys busy (other than 9…

Crock Pot Freezer Cooking {Round 3}
The freezer has been empty for a while. I had used up most of the meals during the first trimester of this pregnancy and honestly didn’t have enough energy or motivation to do a big meal prep day to restock the freezer. I’ve been feeling much better now that I’m in my second trimester. I…
