Silence. Finally. I tip-toe around hot wheels, bits of plastic and various articles of clothing. It appears that everyone strips down and loses an article of clothing in every room. I look at the dishes stacked in the sink, sheet pan full of burnt food bits from a many uses, and so many crumbs from the toast we had at dinner. I’m never doing toast again. Way too many crumbs. I had a list of things to accomplish now that it’s 9pm and no one is awake to bother me. It will last about an hour before the baby stirs and looks for me to put him back to sleep. I can’t find my list, so I just sit down and stare. I’m staring off into space because my brain is fried from the constant discipline and monitoring. I have a extremely smart, defiant child that pushes the envelope. I’m…
Decorating for the holiday season is one of my favorite things ever! We are just moving into our new home, with lots of remodeling that needs to happen, so my decor ambitions will be put on hold for a bit. Until then, here are some beautiful decoration ideas to inspire you for your home this year. I walk you through the living room and mantle, to the entryway, and back to the table design to bring all the feels of Thanksgiving to your home this year. LIVING ROOM AND MANTLE: I can not find the original source for this photo! It was uploaded on Pinterest, and here is the pin with no link to a site. I love the pumpkin theme with the logs in the metal pot. Super clever, and beautiful at the same time! I found this on Pinterest, but it’s a photo from Brittany York on Instagram.…
Thank you Tom’s of Maine for sponsoring this post! Before I was a mom of three boys and surrounded by all things testosterone, I was a makeup artist. I loved doing makeup, playing with product and helping customers feel their best.

A look that amplifies your beauty, rather than making you look like someone you aren’t. I’ve found a great, natural routine that allows my skin to breathe, makes my smile brighter than ever with Tom’s of Maine Luminous White Toothpaste, and is quick and easy.

Lets face it, just being a mom is exhausting. Being a present, engaged and enthusiastic mom is something more than exhausting. It can put you in a mental daze of pure brain overload. Combine that with sleepless nights from sick kids, sleep training, or the black hole of social media, and its a recipe for our bodies to short circuit. You can still be a good mom, even when life throws you to the wind and leaves you with black bags under your eyes and hair slicked back with baby powder. These ways involve no television or electronics. Just pure, tired, creativity. Story of my life. The baby lost his shoe, and no one is looking. Here’s 7 Ways to Be A Legit Mom When You’re Tired AF 1.
