Are you in a makeup rut? Personally, I know I am. I tend to stick to my 5-minute no-makeup look most days of the week. I hardly ever throw on lipstick or veer very far from my standard brown eyeshadows. It’s not that I don’t love trying out new makeup – I do! I just…
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.

One of my dear friends is pregnant with her first child. She’s been a bit nervous about it all, so I’ve tried to talk to her my experience. One thing we talked about early on was the baby registry must-haves you actually need. So many parents get overwhelmed and go totally overboard on buying way…
Having drop-in child care near me when we needed it most was such a relief. Here’s the quick story on how I came to feel this way. What do you do if you’re out of town and your husband, who’s home with your young kids, text messages you that he’s become violently ill with stomach…
