Best Outdoor Toys For Kids Under 5

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 …

Apparently having a dark room helps anyone sleep better because there are fewer distractions for your brain to have to compute.

Affordable Coastal Home Decor Updates

Affordable Coastal Home Decor Updates

Coastal is by far my favorite home style. Anything blue and white, sign me up! Extra points if there's a touch of beige or natural wood in there. (Think Cape Cod or Nantucket summers meets your living room.) I was searching (again) for a media console and found some really beautiful coastal home decor in the process. I created an image for my LTK but just had to share here, too. Some of this decor is modern farmhouse and some is coastal farmhouse. Regardless, everything is beautiful and …

23 Simple Cleaning Hacks Your Mom Never Told You

I love a good hack. If it saves me 15 minutes (especially if it's for a chore I hate), I'm in. I asked around for the best cleaning tips, and I'm sharing 23 easy cleaning hacks that you might not have heard yet. The number 1 answer was "hire a cleaning crew" but since a lot of people aren't looking for that sort of advice, what I'm sharing in the 23 answers below are EASY hacks with stuff you probably already have at home. Also I 100% forget to clean things like my garbage disposal, so BRB while …
