Thank you to Guiding Stars for sponsoring this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. Well hello 2022! I think Taylor Swift’s song “22” will be perpetually playing in my head all year long. Anyone else? Now that we’re in 2022, it’s time for our family to get our nutrition back in check. I know, I know, everyone does this every year. But for real, after all of the Christmas cookies and a trip to Disney where we indulged in all of the Mickey shaped treats, we seriously need to get it together.  When we plan out the week ahead, we always plan our meals to make going to t ..read more

Thank you to Guiding Stars for sponsoring this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. Wow, how are we only just over a week away from Christmas?! This year has really flown by and I can’t believe we’re already in the midst of the holiday hustle. But if you’re like me, I’m already feeling over all of the overindulgent holiday treats. Not to mention, I feel like everywhere we go my kids are being sugared up to no end.  So, for a little break from the heavy and sugary treats, I decided to whip up a nutritious but festive treat that the kids will love (and the adults too ..read more

However, while I have only just learned about them in the last few months, they have actually been around since 2006. They strive to make nutrition as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Thank you to The Container Store for sponsoring this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. If you remember from my Instagram stories a few weeks ago, I went to a special Influencer preview of The Container Store that just opened at Short Pump Town Center on March 20th. Having never been in one of their stores before, to say the store was incredible is an understatement. They literally had everything I could ever dream of for getting organized! I very quickly understood the hype…and know I will be back on a very regular basis. Our main storage issue with the kids is with ..read more

Instax Camera We got an Instax for Liam over the summer and it was a huge hit! It’s basically an old school polaroid camera. He’s still honing in on his photography skills but it’s fun to see things from his perspective! This is a great bundle too that comes with some accessories in addition to the camera! Pogo Jumper Fair warning – this has a squeaker in it. However, it is great for “getting wiggles out” and burning some toddler energy! This is another item the kids got for their birthdays and love! Sharper Image Remote Control Monster Truck Liam got one of these for his birthday and loves it ..read more
