Going from 0 kids to 1 was a BIG transition. Not only was there suddenly a tiny person in our house who needed care 24/7, but it totally changed my identity when I became someone's "Mommy." And now that we're adding a second tiny person to our family, I have a few recurring worries. How will my first born deal with being a big sister? We have been talking about the baby for a while - since I started to show - so E knows what is coming. Or at least when you ask her, she will tell you that …
Isle of Paradise Tanning Drops Review
Any time there’s an easy way to get a glow, I’m in. My go-to sunless tanner for years was a lotion that built as you put it on, even though it made me slightly orange. When I was in high school it was pretty much the only thing on the market! I'm SO glad that sunless tanners have come a long way since then.

5 Easy Things to Change: How I’m Going to Do Better
So... wow, this week has been ground-breaking and eye opening in so many ways. It has taken me a few days to really process what's been going on. I think part of it was having to shift out of the mindset of focusing on the coronavirus, which has occupied so much time and energy lately. This week, though, I realized that I had not grasped the difference between not being racist and being actively anti-racist. (In case you haven't heard about that yet, it's the very important difference between …
The Summer T-Shirt Dress
I'm always on the hunt for easy wardrobe pieces that can be dressed up or as casual as you want. And - obviously - they have to be comfortable! I picked up these two t-shirt dresses recently, and they've been in heavy rotation already. I love a good t-shirt dress (or tank dress!) with a denim jacket for cooler nights and white sneakers (these are my favorite white sneaks) for daytime. Both of these dresses are affordable/budget buys - one is $15 and the other just $20! They also both come in …
