Thank you, U-Pack for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. Relocation is tough on everyone. Moving with kids is a particular challenge; both for you and for your children. Us grown-ups have our own hassles, but for kids, the process of moving across the country, leaving everything they’ve known, being thrown into a situation…
Now that I live in Boston, I actually have to think about fall clothing. Living in Phoenix, I didn’t break sweaters until November at the earliest. But our first week in Boston, it was only in the 60s (40s in the AM!), so let’s just say I need to hurry up and get some new…
Thank you, U-Pack for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. There are so many different things you need to plan and think about when you’re planning a move. Our cross-country move to Boston could have been very overwhelming, but I found so many great resources online to help me organize for the move….
Thank you CLIF Kid for sponsoring this post. Be sure to check out the new CLIF Kid Zbar Filled and encourage your kids to get outside and play! Do you struggle to get your kids enough outdoor play time now that school is back in session? I’m glad my kids are still in preschool, so…
Thank you, U-Pack for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. What’s better; should you hire a moving company or drive a rental truck yourself? There are so many decisions to make when you have to move your life across town or across the country. We should know – we’ve moved roughly 9 times…
There are three major sunglasses trends for fall that I’m absolutely loving. I’m already a huge fan of the cat-eye shape. I wear it all the time. There are some new trends I tried that I thought I’d hate, but actually loved! For example, I was sure I would hate a round shape on my…
This post was sponsored by Organic Doctor, but all opinions are my own. I’ll be honest with you, I never thought much about what I’ve been putting on my skin. I’ve tried natural and organic products in the past (I tested organic sunscreens once), but I didn’t realize the benefits of organic beauty products vs….
This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I received the included back to school clothes and essentials as compensation. With our big move to Boston, our kids are also starting a new school in September. With so much change happening for them, I want to prepare them as best I can for this big transition. Starting…
Major news from the Freemans – we are moving to Boston! I can hardly believe it myself. I’m still in shock about it actually. If you didn’t get the title of this story – it’s a reference to this song and leaving the Valley of the Sun. I’m going to miss our chosen city, but…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of PEOPLE®, Real Simple®, and Southern Living®. The opinions and text are all mine. Moms, I know you can relate. It is so hard to find “me time” isn’t it? I don’t know if you’re like me, but even when I do get alone time, I often…
Thank you, Hilton Hotels, Toyota, San Diego Zoo, and LEGOLAND for Collaborating with us on this story! In July, we had the chance to take our kids to southern California for a long weekend.

As a busy mom, I’m always looking for little craft projects we can do on the weekends to keep my kids entertained. Recently, we made these simple lion crafts out of paper plates. Not only did my kids have a blast, but it kept them entertained and busy for close to 30 minutes. To make…
Baby oil is a total multi-tasker. I just realized it the other day. While I was cleaning out my medicine cabinet, I noticed I had a whole bottle. Since my babies don’t need it anymore, and I haven’t used it to tan since I was an idiot in HS, I figured there must be other…
