Every year, it seems like a take on a new everyday mom style. Last year, it was cropped skinny pants and a blouse. This fall, I’m rocking some version of cuffed cords, booties and I always top it with a wool moto jacket. Why You Should Try a Wool Moto Jacket I found this wool moto…
What do you get those people in your life who are impossible to shop for? Gift subscription boxes might the answer. For me, subscription boxes make the perfect gift for several reasons. 1. It’s Fun to Get Mail Even though our world is so tech-driven right now, I think a lot of people long for the…

I racked my brain to think of another recipe that could use the ingredients.I wanted to avoid the oh-so-obvious gingerbread men. Also, I…

I generally don’t endorse buying items that aren’t versatile, but I fully support buying one special party dress per year that you can wear to a holiday…
Are you having trouble finding the perfect Christmas gift for your husband, boyfriend, father or grandpa? It seems like every year I feel stumped. For my dad, I almost always get him a wool hat (it’s cold where he lives) or a sweatshirt from the university I work at currently. It gets pretty dull. My…
That Time I Had to go to South Africa For Work I never imagined I’d visit South Africa. It just never crossed my mind. Visiting South Africa felt surreal before I got there and pretty much the entire time I was there. I’m not sure why I couldn’t quite grasp that my life and career…
I love to bake. It is so therapeutic and a really great stress-reliever. The holidays can be so stressful and finding gifts for everyone can feel like such a challenge.

For Thanksgiving, we bravely decided to take our two toddlers on a California road trip. We hadn’t seen most of my husband’s family in over two years since we moved to Arizona. We figured it was time to make the trek so our kids could meet their extended family. They had yet to meet their aunts and…

I’ve made a lot of cookie recipes for the blog over the years, so it would a bit tough to think about a cookie I’ve never made to prep for the holidays. These almond thumbprint cookies fill two categories. I’ve never made any type of thumbprint cookie before, and I’ve never used almond flour in…
