I was putting away keepsakes for the kids this week, and I came across the "Big Sis" denim jacket I made for my daughter. (You can see it in the post from when we were taking pictures to announce that we were expecting our baby boy here!) I had looked all over for what I wanted but couldn't find it anywhere. So I did what I normally do... I decided to try to make it myself. Sometimes this goes really well and other times... well, not so well. I LOVE how it came out. And now she has the cutest …

The Cutest Halloween Pajamas at All Price Points
One of my favorite kids' pajama brands is releasing their Halloween jammies this week, so I thought I'd go see what other stores have available and round up the cutest pairs! I included a majority of prints that you can get in sizes newborn to adult, so that the whole family can match. Last Christmas I got my kids matching reindeer pajamas, and I love the pictures from that morning. Even though my baby boy only wore them a couple of times before he grew out of them (I misjudged on the …

My Honest KiwiCo Review (Koala Crate)
I’ve been targeted with ads for both KiwiCo and Lovevery for a while, but I wasn’t sure it really was for us. But then we got our first KiwiCo box, and now we are hooked! My soon-to-be 4 year old gets the Koala Crate, which is geared toward 2-4 year olds. Here's my honest (unpaid/unsponsored) review of the activities we've been getting through this service. Let's start here... What is KiwiCo? KiwiCo is a subscription box that comes monthly. It's usually 2-3 projects that are appropriate for …
Where to Buy Cute Baby Boy Clothes (0-24 Months)
I've never loved an overuse of slogans or cartoons on kids' clothes. Sure, I let my daughter pick out what she likes, but I'm not going to go overboard for my baby boy with "Daddy's handsome son" on everything he wears. I went to the store in the wintertime to find cute matching pjs for my kids (a girl and a boy), and literally nothing was gender neutral enough: It was either hot pink ballerinas and purple butterflies OR dark green dinosaurs and red race cars, with nothing in between. I just …
Family beach vacation + what to pack
Last summer we took our first beach vacation as a family of four- with a not-quite-3 year old and a newborn in tow! We spent a few days on Cape Cod with family, with full days on the beach. I have never been one to spend tons of time in the sun (hi, pale skin). The baby wasn't even two months old, so I was a little nervous about the trip, but it went so well. I was so happy that I decided last minute to buy this beach pop up baby dome infant tent, because it came in handy. I wasn't sure where …
