Christmas 2015

Christmas 2015

We had the BEST Christmas. Christmas with little kids is simply the most wonderful thing ever. For the past week Hudson has been waking up in the morning asking if it was Christmas yet....he was so dang excited. Too excited to even go to sleep on Christmas Eve. My husband had to pull the old "Santa was just on the roof but had to leave because you ... Read More

Pom Pom Love

Pom Pom Love

Can you believe it? Only 4 sleeps 'til Christmas! This little girl's mind is about to be blown. She's going to have so much fun. I can tell you right now she'll probably love the wrapping paper and bows a whole lot more than any present she receives. Oh well. And yes....I take a lot of photos of this gal. But I can't help it. She's too ... Read More

Giving Back

Giving Back

This Christmas we have been looking for ways to teach our children how to give back to others. Not just at Christmas, but throughout the year. I've been talking to Hudson about children who do not have as many toys as he does, or children who do not have mommies and daddies to take care of them. He's only 3, so he really can't comprehend ... Read More

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

As part of our countdown to Christmas, Hudson and I made peppermint hot chocolate! He LOVED it....and I did too!  Was it a made-from-scratch pinterest recipe? No. It was just a store bought mix + some marshmallows + a candy cane. But in this season of our lives making everything perfect doesn't really matter. Memories were ... Read More

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
