Last summer I bought matching headbands for me and E, and I LOVED how well mine kept my hair out of my face. My hair is naturally curly (and frizzy in humidity). It's not the easiest type of hair to have in the summer, especially at the beach. (That's why you'll mostly see my hair up in a bun when I'm in a humid climate - there's just not much I can do with it!) Photo from this Orlando hotel post I've found some really cute hair things lately, and I'm just trying to decide what to buy and …
Diary Day: When Instagram Isn’t Much Fun Anymore
Maybe the title of this post is a little dramatic, but I'm going to be 100% honest... Instagram just isn't all that fun for me anymore. I remember when I first downloaded the app and (accidentally) posted the same photo 3 times.

This was back in 2011 or 2012, when Instagram was brand new to the scene and only …

The True Cost: Fast Fashion Documentary
I watched this documentary a while ago, but I had to rewatch it over the weekend.

When you stop and think about it, you can't buy just the fabric for that price, never mind the labor of actually making a shirt or a skirt or whatever you're buying. I am not at all suggesting that all moms should go out and …
Day Trip to Legoland Florida
LEGOLAND was a really fun part of our Florida trip. None of us had been before, and it was the perfect activity for the slightly chilly (55 degrees) day. Legoland is built for kids ages 2-12, but our 18 month old had an awesome time (and so did my husband!). We decided to do an afternoon at Legoland because my husband loved LEGO growing up. It's something he really enjoys doing with E (well, Duplo, she's not yet working with the smaller LEGO pieces). He has been to their location in Europe …
