If you’re anything like me, you don’t love wearing a swimsuit. Not only does a suit seem to highlight everything I’d rather hide, but it feels so utilitarian–great for swimming only. But my kids like to jump in the pool, play at the park and kick a soccer ball around. Or they like to…
It’s that time of year, time to starting thinking about the big ‘ol closet transition. I dread that time of year, well, twice a year, because I do my closet as well as my four girls’ closets! I love it, but I HATE it. Ha! With that in mind though, do you want to know…
I love when I can’t put down a good book I am reading, and I hope that I can help my children learn to love reading too! So much can be learned through readingbooks,and that love for learning can start when kids are little. We read to our kids every night before bed, and I…

One of a kind clothing is the perfect way to make your little ones look adorable. We get so many compliments on the unique clothing my girls wear. This outfit, I am about to share with you, is just the cutest. It’s where romper meets shopkins! If your little one loves shopkins this will be…

When you live right outside of Beer City (a.k.a Grand Rapids, MI) you tend to develop an appreciation of all the great microbreweries in the area. It is not unusual for my husband to randomly bring me home a growler of my favorite local brews and quite a few of these local establishments also bottle…
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…
We are now in the ‘dog-days’ of Summer, you guys. Which always seemed like a funny term to me — Dog Days of Summer — because as blasted hot as it’s been these past few days, not even our dogs want to do anything! Which means we’re doing a whole lotta nothin’ during those peak…
Before you know it, fall will be approaching us and boy am I ready. This summer has been wonderful but I am more of a 60s to 70s kind of girl and this 90 degree weather is for the birds. To prepare for fall weather, I wanted to share an adorable company I just love. …
