If you’d ask me at 30 if I’d ever get botox, I would have said a resounding NO. Why would I want to put a toxin in my face? I like my face. The older I get, the more I realize I should never say never. I personally think women (and men) should be comfortable talking about their choice whether… View Post

I’m on a healthy snack kick and I also want to find ways to get my kids to try new foods. That’s why I decided to try making these honey roasted chickpeas.

I received this curved hem animal print dress from Shein. All opinions are my own. Do you remember when I told you I didn’t like animal print? Well, I have recently learned those thoughts were way off. I mean, I do still think animal prints can sometimes look dated, cheesy, and even a little trashy. Yep, I said it. But… View Post
This post is sponsored by Carvana. All opinions are my own. Car shopping. Do you love it or hate it? It’s something I’ve done so infrequently, that I personally didn’t even know where to begin. We’ve been a one-car household for the last decade. At first, it was for financial reasons, and then it became more of a good habit…. View Post

Today is my kids’ first day of school so I’m already thinking about fun and simple afterschool snacks I can serve them. I’m not sure about your family, but we tend to get stuck in a snacking rut – the little fish shaped crackers or an apple sauce packet. I tend to lose most of my creativity by the afterschool… View Post
Shein gifted me this dress in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Since I knew I was traveling to Puerto Vallarta, I also knew I wanted to bring a white dress with me. I had a feeling white would look amazing against all the tropical colors, so I went on a search for white dresses under… View Post

Last week, I wrote about our time in the Twin Cities. We spent half of our trip at my sister’s house there. Then, we spent the next week at my parents’ house in Green Bay, WI, which is also my hometown. It was the first time I was home in 4 years and it was my first time bringing both… View Post
I’m headed to Puerto Vallarta this week, so I’ve been searching for easy breezy summer clothes. These floral cropped pants fit the bill perfectly. You’ll probably see them all over my Instagram this week. When I first saw these floral cropped pants, I wasn’t even going to try them on. The print seemed so loud and I didn’t think the… View Post
