*This is a sponsored blog; while the views expressed here were genuinely mind, consideration was paid to me by Macerich to review this product. My husband and I always joke that we’re the worst every year getting our kids to see Santa. While we love watching them interact with Santa (some years they cry but now they always smile), we…
(disclosure: prAna provided me with products to sample these products to provide my honest thoughts). About a year ago, I wrote a post called “Should I have a 3rd Child?” It felt cathartic to write, it helped me really get my feeling out and also hear some feedback from readers! (Which by the way had better advice then my own family did!…
I’ve never been the girl that knew exactly how many children they wanted. I knew I wanted at least 2, because really, (sorry only children) kids love playing with other kids and siblings are the bomb. I couldn’t imagine not having my siblings in my life. So I new I wanted two, I just wasn’t sure if 2 was it…
For the past three years, I’ve absolutely loathed the date of April 10th. It was the day, 3 years ago, that I lost my dad. Too young, too soon, and too tragically. I’ve been a fairly private person when it comes to my blog and my family. I share stories of our vacations and adventures, but never our hardships. We’re all…
Disclosure: Thank you to Evite for kindly sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% honest & completely my own. Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It’s the beginning of spring, the beginning a season spent outdoors with family and friends. It’s a celebration of faith and hope renewed. As a kid, it was my favorite holiday right behind Christmas…
You know the drill. Your children or you have been invited to yet another birthday party for a child. The parents (usually just the mom) have been planning it for weeks, spending a ton of money, Pinterest’ing until their hearts content and planning every detail for this exciting day. They’re stressed, a little excited, and secretly can’t wait for the…
Before children, we spent our winter weekends in the Colorado mountains snowboarding until our powder loving hearts were content. We took breaks when we felt like it, spent hours doing run after run and loved every moment of it. Fast forward to many years and multiple children later, we are still trying to find that balance between spending enough time…
I know I know, I’ve been MIA, but everyone needs a vacation…including bloggers. 🙂 We spent the past two weeks SO incredibly busy – I’m still exhausted from the craziness. First we spent 3 days in beautiful Steamboat Springs, Colorado, to snowboard!! It was one of our best trips to Steamboat – they had 24 inches of snow in 24…
Last weekend we had a magical Colorado holiday weekend. Friday we spent the night at Disney on Ice presents Frozen. Downtown Denver was hopping! With the parade of lights going on, holiday parties and events all over town, the city was buzzing. Saturday we attended a tea birthday party and Sunday we took our four year old to her first…
Happy Fall! I seriously LOVE the fall. The weather is awesome, the colors are beautiful and I get to wear all my boots that have been collecting dust in my closet since the winter. It’s a rite of passage every fall to visit a local pumpkin patch or corn maze. If you’re not doing this with your family you should…
