If you're anything like me, you leave the stocking stuffers to the end of your shopping. (To be honest, I'm shopping for much more than just stocking stuffers today! I thought I was on top of everything but clearly was not. Whoops!) I scoured Amazon for the best stocking stuffers that you can buy with Prime and still get before Christmas. (And if you don't already have Amazon Prime, you can get that here for a free 30-day trial.) I also hunted down which stores have in-store pickup (so you …
Morning Coffee + A Giveaway
I recently told you about our morning routine, but somehow I left out an integral part of every morning: COFFEE. Some mornings require a bit more coffee than others. (Usually because I stay up wayyy too late reading a new book, when I should really be in bed sleeping!) But one thing is for sure: Every morning includes at least one cup of coffee. I'm partial to iced when I'm out and about, but at home I like a nice hot cup of coffee. (Bonus points if I can enjoy said hot cup of coffee without …

How I’ll Decide on My Next Car
Today's post is sponsored by Kelley Blue Book. All opinions, as always, are my own. When I bought my SUV 4 years ago this month, I kind of knew what I wanted for a car. There was still a LOT I needed to figure out. Like, for starters, how many dogs can I fit in the back? (JK, but kind of not.) ^ 2 doodles (my nephews!) fit comfortably in the back of this mid-size SUV! My beloved Jetta had been totaled by someone rear-ending me on my way to work (another story for another time), and so I …
What I’ve Learned from Eleanor (So Far!)
It has been 14.5 months since I became "Mama" to Eleanor. I feel like this little one taught me a lot even before she was born, when I spent time reading all of the pregnancy books. (Here's a fun fact: Reading every book can't prepare you for motherhood realities.) I didn't expect motherhood to be a constant learning experience, but as she grows and changes, I feel like I'm learning more and more, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Take risks. Whether she's climbing on an ottoman …
Our Christmas Cards
Now that the last of the Christmas cards are in the mail, I can share both sides of our Christmas card this year! I posted a sneak peek on Instagram a few weeks ago. We took these photos when we went to Nantucket this fall. I just LOVE them. Over the summer we tried to get a family photo when we went to Cape Cod one of the weeks, but Sprout just would not cooperate. (To be fair, we were on a beach and he was LOVING running in and out of the ocean. He had zero plans to sit still for a …
