Are you a fan of plaid coats? I love them, but I wasn’t sure I really wanted to get one because they are so very specific. They are bold and pretty loud. I decided that it would be worth it if I found one that was affordable and versatile. That’s why I wanted to share with you some of the… View Post
What do you do with leftover mashed potatoes? Most of the time, we just eat them as-is. Until I saw a recipe for leftover mashed potatoes soup, I never even considered another use for leftover mashed potatoes. So why haven’t I? Honestly, I guess I thought the holiday leftovers were good enough that I didn’t need to do anything to… View Post
You know when you’ve been somewhere so many times, but it feels like the first time? That’s how I felt on my most recent trip to New York. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been in the city, but this was the first time I was there while the leaves were changing. I can’t even tell you how… View Post
I received this colorblock jacket in exchange for promotion. All opinions are my own. I have a problem. I am obsessed with coats and jackets. Right now, my entire wardrobe consists of coats, jackets, jeans, and Ts. Its starting to feel like rut. But then I add a new jacket, like this colorblock jacket, and all my old jeans and… View Post
This post is sponsored by Saborea Uno Hoy®. All opinions are my own. I’m back with another pumpkin spice recipe! I just can’t help myself. It is my favorite time (and flavor) of the year. I’m extra excited about this avocado pumpkin spice cake recipe because – duh – it has fresh avocados! Why would I want to put avocados in… View Post
I recently partnered with Hasbro on a sponsored Instagram post, so they sent me two Simba toys for my kids. Simba is an interactive, robot-style animal that is so much fun to play with. He instantly became like a family pet for us. They were so generous to send us two Simba toys, that I wanted to give one of… View Post
How do you feel about faux fur? Honestly, this cropped faux fur jacket is the first one I’ve ever owned. I did get a faux fur animal print jacket last year, but I hardly ever wore it, so I donated it. Then, I saw this black faux fur coat with blue stripes on the sleeves, and thought I’d give them… View Post
I received discounted lodging at Beaches Resort in exchange for promotion. All opinions are my own. Last year, I went to Beaches Resort by myself to attend the Social Media on the Sand Conference. The minute I got there, I regretted not bringing my kids with me. Beaches Resorts are kid-friendly for so many reasons. The entire resort is made… View Post
I received discounted lodging to stay at Beaches Turks and Caicos. All opinions are my own. Most of the time, I can pack in 30 minutes or less and I usually nail it. I almost always wear just about everything in my bag, except maybe an extra pair of undies or shoes that I brought ‘just in case’. I’ve traveled… View Post
I received a discounted stay at Beaches Resort in exchange for promotion. All opinions are my own. If you’ve been following my social media or the other 100+ mommy bloggers, you know that we just wrapped up the Social Media on the Sand 2019 conference. So what is social media on the sand? And who are these Beaches Moms? Started… View Post
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #CollectiveBias #PlayingWithPlaymobil “Mom, what activity are we doing today?”, my son asked, with genuine interest. What I wanted to say was, figure it out. Instead, I started to think that maybe its time I figure out how to encourage unstructured play in my… View Post
For the longest time, I was adamant that I wouldn’t get lash extensions. I just didn’t really see the point. My lashes are pretty long naturally, and I also use a lash growth product that works very well. Then, I saw my friend Ramona wearing them on our trip to Puerto Vallarta, and I loved how they looked even when… View Post
Do you like floral prints? I definitely do on dresses, but I wasn’t sure about floral prints on other things. When I saw this floral print bomber jacket, I thought it was unique and fun. I’m pretty obsessed with jackets so I don’t mind a statement piece like this that I can throw on every now and then. I’m a… View Post
This post is sponsored by Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board. All opinions are my own. I can’t believe it’s already been two months since Ieft Puerto Vallarta. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a lot of different place around the world, but very few of them have stuck with me like Puerto Vallarta has. There was something so magical about… View Post
This post about casual style for fall is sponsored by SAS Shoes. All opinions are my own. What are your go-to casual style for fall? Mine is bascially the same in the fall and winter since it never gets too cold in SoCal. You will see me most days (since I work from home) and weekend rocking some combination of… View Post
