I’ve gotten into the bad habit of taking my phone with me when I go to bed. I use it as my clock and alarm clock–and I often miss out on some great sleep because I will “quickly” check Facebook, read an article or respond to a few e-mails when I should be sleeping. This…

comfort your baby with oliver + kit muslin swaddle blanket
Swaddling and more swaddling. I am finding that I am doing this a lot and so glad that I have muslin swaddles all over the place. While I am pretty sure, I have a colicky baby, I am thankful for a few tips that people have shared with me. Swaddling, swinging, and shushing. These are…

the easiest and best salsa recipe you will ever need (or want!)
I love salsa. When the fam goes out to a Mexican restaurant, I might as well not even order a meal because I always fill up on chips and salsa. Now I have found some store-bought salsas that I like a lot, but none of them ever came close to that authentic salsa that I…

sugar bowl bakery :: simple ingredients for homemade taste

THE best peanut butter + chocolate cookies made at least once a year, at christmas
I’d love to say that I’m in the kitchen every week trying out new recipes and creating memories with my little ladies. However, trying new things and the kitchen, to me, aren’t one in the same.
