Taking Care of Monkey Business

Hanging Bucket Organizer

My little 2-year-old, Owen, is the sweetest little goober in the entire world. He loves to snuggle and give kisses, and his bright smile is so cute I can hardly stand it. BUT. He’s also… a menace. The other day, Sophie and I had the following conversation: Sophie: “Mom, I’m an angel.” Me: “You sure…

Lincoln’s Birth Story!

I’ve been so so excited to share this story with you all, I can’t believe it took me so long to write it all down! Hopefully I didn’t forget too many details 🙂 The weeks leading up to his birth were a little ridiculous. I had SO many painful contractions. They would start coming every…

Why is it that the last few weeks of pregnancy move in S-L-O-W motion?! Honestly, I feel like this pregnancy has gone by really fast. The whole time, I kept thinking “wow! I’m really this far along?” Which is weird, because my other pregnancies seemed to take ages. But now that I’m in the home…

DIY Princess Costume

Sophie may look more like her dad (according to others… I still don’t see it), but she certainly shares a lot of similar qualities with her mama. Confession: I’m not the most efficient decision maker. I’m kind of known as the most indecisive person ever. So it’s no surprise that my little girl took about 2…

Bite-sized S’mores

I simply can’t think of s’mores without thinking of the oh-so-classic movie, The Sandlot. I can’t be the only one!
