A little backstory: I'm from California. When I decided to move to Michigan for graduate school my mom told me not to meet a guy, get married, and end up living in Michigan. And oops, that's exactly what I did. Thankfully, my mom moved to Michigan about a year before I had Hudson. I'm an only child and couldn't live without her close. And I'm lucky ... Read More

I’ve gotten her routine down to a science…which ... Read More

Where did summer go? I swear it just started....and now we are already getting ready for back to school!  Hudson is going to a "young fives" program 4 mornings a week in the fall and it's mostly excited. We decided not to send him to kindergarten this year. Kids in our district need to be 5 by September 1st in order to start kindergarten, and ... Read More

This post is brought to you by one of my favorite strong mom must haves for even the biggest messes: Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags! Being a mother means that the lessons never stop. I’m either giving them or learning them constantly. First I learned how to care for a fussy baby in the middle of the night and now I’ve learned that I have to ask ... Read More

This post is sponsored by Disney Junior. It’s no secret we love a cute hair bow in our house! Sadie has begun requesting a “pretty bow” to wear in her hair every day….and it is my favorite! When she requested a bow just like her favorite Minnie Mouse from Mickey and the Roadster Racers, I couldn’t resist! Thankfully, making a bow is pretty easy, ... Read More
