We are getting to the point in our summer vacation where some days seem to drag on…and I begin hearing, “I’m bored”. Ugh, really? I can’t stand hearing those words as I look around the house at the chores that could be done, the to-do list that could be conquered, the laundry that could be…

an adorable, fun and comfortable dress for under under $40, from chadwick’s of boston
With summer in full swing, I find my husband and I always looking towards the next date night. I don’t know if it’s because the weeks are so crazy, or if it’s because the kids are home 24/7, (keep in mind both my husband and I work from home), or if it’s just because we…
what we are watching this summer in our downtime, for big kids and little kids, from disney
I’d love to say we are in a GREAT routine this summer. That when we wake up every morning we have a game plan. Oh….that would be wonderful!! Instead, we have been flying, week by week, figuring out what we are going to do the day before it happens. Kids love that, but I’m sort…

the perfect summer shirt for mom from matilda jane :: on serious sale!
I have a serious love for the brand Matilda Jane. I don’t know what it is. Maybe the fun patterns, the mixing of colors, the comments we get every time we wear it. I don’t know, but I am constantly purchasing it for myself and my girls. One of their most recent releases, again, had…

games to beat summer boredom, from blue orange games
It’s been one week out of school and I’m seeing all across social media how kids are already talking about how they are bored…and parents are frustrated that their kids can’t figure out something to do. So, with that in mind, I wanted to share with you all some fun games you can pick up quite…
the organizing technique that’s saving my sanity
We just moved. It’s insanity over here, seriously. Ok, we didn’t JUST move, but we moved about 3 weeks ago. So, close enough. With moving comes the purging…or the non-purging of some areas. You see, I wanted to get things all organized BEFORE the move, but I ran out of time. I had to get quite…

With summer upon us across the country, I’m finding my mind keeps going towards WHAT I’m going to do with the little ladies when they’re home. I am not one that believes I need to entertain my kids all hours of the day. I love having them use their God-given little brains to figure it…
