I have the most amazing memories of playing outside for hours with my sisters and our neighbors, especially in the summer months. So whenever my kids ask to play outside, I try to say yes - no matter what we're doing. Getting kids to play outdoors can be fun and beneficial for them, too. I can totally see the difference in my kids' energy when they spend more time outdoors. They sleep better, they're happier... it's just great for all of us. That said, you don't have to stock your backyard …
Resort Review: Marriott Sand Key in Clearwater Beach, FL
We recently vacationed in the Clearwater Beach, Florida area and today I’m sharing my honest thoughts on where we stayed: Marriott Sand Key. We must have looked for WEEKS for a place that was family-friendly, fairly Covid safe, and on the beach with a pool. It also needed to be within the US because our youngest didn’t yet have a passport. I didn’t really want to be in a super crowded hotel, nor did I want to be in an Airbnb in a place we didn’t know at all. We ended up booking at the …
Cozy $39 Lounge Set
I bought this 2 piece loungewear set so I’d have something easy to throw on while we were on vacation, and it did not disappoint! The fabric is light enough to wear in 80 degrees (we were in Florida), but it’s cozy enough that it’s the perfect set for hanging around the house. It’s the best throw-on-and-go outfit. (It actually would be amazing for new moms, too, who want to wear pjs all day but not look like they’re in pjs all day.) I actually almost returned it because it didn’t feel …
Our 5 Favorite Baby Washes
There are SO many baby wash products that it's really hard to choose what's best. Even when you narrow the list down to sulfate-free, fragrance-free products, there are still way too many! I've been trying out some new baby washes and thought it might be helpful to share our favorites so far. My entire life I've dealt with sensitive skin, so I'm always a little nervous about trying new products. If you were blessed with non-sensitive skin, you probably don't worry about a rash every time you …
Dudley Stephens Fleece
I must have tried on 10 different Dudleys before I finally bought one. Though I love the look of them, I wasn't completely sold on the price tag, especially for something I wasn't sure I would love. I get hot really easily and kind of hate to be hot! And I couldn't decide between the hip-length version or the tunic-length version. BUT. Then they came out with a mid-length called Greenpoint, and they had a really great sale, so I dove in! Right now! There’s a big sale- on sale for $79 but use …
