Living in Florida, refreshing drinks are always a good idea. We basically have 2 seasons here - mild summer and extra hot summer, so we are always in the mood for an iced drink. The kids (and me) absolutely love watermelon. I can't buy it enough. It's the perfect snack for hot weather. So we made a mommy and me mocktail featuring our favorite fruit - watermelon. These also make great party drinks, they are super easy to make and you can add in your favorite liquor. I prefer mine with te[...]
Alright, first complete solo episode, and I’m excited! Thank you so much for all of the support on my last mini episode on coming back. I am so excited for what this space has to bring after so much time off. A lot has happened since I stopped doing the podcast - Our world went through a global pandemic, I had a baby, Kennedy Soleil. She is exactly what I didn’t know I needed, and she completes our family. But let me tell you that going from 2 to 3 kids completely rocked our wo[...]
I got my boobs done in April 2021. If you missed the why, and want to learn more about that, skip here first. I feel like this part is important to mention. I didn't do a ton of research. I didn't feel that I needed to know everything. I just need to know enough to ease my mind. I didn't find myself down a rabbit hole of botched plastic surgery stories, or looking up what could go wrong. I didn't want to. I knew that I was taking a risk by having an elective surgery. I wanted to know wh[...]
Some of the items in this post were sent as gifts by the company. It is important to note that all opinions are completely my own. Listed in alphabetical order. When Paisley was born I feel like I have been out of the newborn game for a while. Dylan was just 5 years old when I had P, but there were so many new, amazing products that have come out, while others are being recalled (I'm looking at you rock n' play). When Paisley was just 9 months old, I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby[...]
This stay with hosted, however all opinions are my own. We are officially a family of 5, which made traveling for spring break a little harder. Going from 2 kids to 3 really is a game changer! Oh... and 2 under 2 isn't exactly a walk in the park. But we still want to do fun things with Dylan, you know, get the feel like we are on a vacation while it actually being a staycation. Whether we are doing staycations or traveling for a vacation, we try to stay places where we have everything w[...]
**this was a paid collaboration with Mom Squad, but all views and opions are completely my own. Dressing the bump... you guys, the struggle is real here! As our bodies are growing, changing, and just completely doing their own thing, it can be hard to feel comfortable in our own skin. This is my 3rd pregnancy, and even though I know more of what to expect, I still struggle with my body image. I still struggle to find clothes that fit, aren't see through, are comfortable, and can wear du[...]
**Thank you Gaylord Palms Resort for hosting us this weekend. Please note that all opinions and experiences are my own. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably followed along with our family's weekend staycation at Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee. With everything going on in Florida, I was a little nervous about how this was going to work, but was so excited to relax somewhere that wasn't home. Let's be real, we all needed a change of scenery. When we arrived I was pleasan[...]
*this post contains affiliate links Alright, Mother's Day is right around the corner - May 10th! And while we won't be able to spend the day at the spa getting pampered, we will be able to spend it with our kids and make our husbands cook, clean, do laundry, and change all the dirty diapers. Today's the day that Dad answers the 1,000 "Mom, mama, mommy, MOM!". And even though we wouldn't change any of this for the world, and love our sweet babes - we deserve something nice too. Hannah &am[...]
With everything going on in the world right now I was really looking for a project that the entire family could participate in . Remember, our kids range from 13 to 1. So, finding something everyone can enjoy can be challenging to say the least. I'm not sure if I chose this as one of our homeschooling projects because I'm a good mom who wants to teach her son real life lessons, or if I'm lazy and wanted someone else to plan my garden. Either way, it's really working out in my favor.[...]
The number one advice we would give to any married couple is, don't stop dating. It's import to reconnect with your partner as often as you can. With things as crazy as they are right now, it's even more important to take some time to just be together. We get it. On a normal day it's hard to find the time to go on dates. With kids, work, sports we lose track of ourselves and our relationships. It's exhausting and after a long day of being home with the kids, I don't always want to[...]
We know this is a crazy time for everyone. All of the uncertainty, all of the panic, all of the chaos. But right now, our kids need us more than ever. They need us to be their rock during this time. They need for everything to stay as normal, and see that you are not panicked. So in a world of chaos, lets help each other and make sure our babies are protected. With the help of you, we have compiled a list of resources, and ideas of things to do with your kids (Even if they're doing it in th[...]
Alright, we know that becoming a parent is a wonderful thing. We're told that we will have this unconditional love that we've never felt while at the same time, being the hardest thing you've ever done. Where all of that is true, there is a ton of other shit in the middle that people tend to leave out. Things we had no idea were going to happen, things that we were not prepared for. In order to get real and raw into motherhood, we are laying out all the things we wished people had told us, so m[...]
