Back when I was still teaching, I remember being so envious of people that traveled for work. Even if it was quick weekends away. The idea of traveling and working sounded so cool- but I knew, being a teacher, that would never be a reality for me. Fast forward to starting my business, I started […]

We had the most amazing time traveling to Marco Island in Florida all of last week. Pool, beach, drinks, and not much else. Spent loads of quality time together and cashed in on tons of Vitamin D. We went last August and not a single child would touch the ocean, minus Jax. Flash forward to […]

Brace yourself. Because this one is a hard take. My biggest tip on staying productive as a Mom: WAKE UP EARLY *Cue* inspirational coffee photo. I know many of you didn’t want to hear that, but it’s the truth. Waking up at least an hour before your kids do makes all the difference. Two hours […]

With Easter coming up, I thought I’d share all the things I am tossing in the kids Easter baskets this year! It’s so easy to throw junk and candy in a basket and call it a day, but now with 4 kids, I’m really trying to lean into being more intentional. Half of what I’d […]

It’s just the nature of who we are- anything that is unfamiliar to us (another type of parenting style) creates curiosity, comparison, and judgement. […]

My short little pep-talk this week is brought to you by a quote that I recently heard. In the past two weeks, I have jumped head first into a few new ventures, all on top of raising a family, my photography business, this blog, a YouTube channel, and…. well a few exciting things to come! […]

A while back, I shared my struggles with packing lunches for the kids. Most days, it feels nearly impossible to pack anything that’s not a freaking breakfast bar and strawberries. As much as I wanted to avoid the hot meal and needing to cook/prep anything, I succumbed to it. I found myself joining the “cooking […]

The happiest of birthdays to our Phil-ip! I’m keeping this one short because I rant and rave about him all year as it is. But happy, happy birthday to our… To my partner through it all. Thank you for doing all of the mundane tasks that I do not want to do- the dishes, the […]
