When we booked our trip to club med in Cancun, I went solely off of a recommendation of a friend who loves travel and took her family of 4 there twice. I sent a link to my husband to book it and really didn’t look too much into it until a few weeks before we left to let my girls see where we were heading. Once I started looking around, I realized there wasn’t a ton of info online about Club Med Cancun. A few videos here and there but nothing really explaining too much in detail. Now that we’re home from our trip, I wanted to pass along all of the details we experienced from our spring break 20 ..read more

It has been almost a year since we whitewashed our original 1990’s red oak floors. I learned so much during the process. There are definitely a few things we would do differently and I have a TON of tips to give. So read through and hopefully this helps you on your journey of refinishing your floors so hopefully you don’t have the same problems that we now do in the end. I took these quickly before we started moving furniture out. This is the first that you want to ask about; does the flooring company move the furniture or do you?

All items used with links are at the bottom of this post. Updating my 6 year old’s room is long overdue. We’ve been deep into a whole house renovation which actually didn’t start as such but has been slugging along for 6 months since June. My daughter’s room has been a dumping ground for all 3 girls’ things when we were painting and installing carpet knowing that she needed a room refresh eventually. We’ve gone from one (chaotic) project to another so quickly that I haven’t had time to circle back and complete, well, anything. This week though, while we’re seeing most of the in-home things be ..read more

Every time I see someone use a chemical sunscreen I cringe. After the recent recalls of major brands like Neutrogena, Banana Boat, Aveeno, and Coppertone due to high levels of benzine, a known cancer-causing chemical, I’m glad that I made the switch to a mineral sunscreen years ago.

But now there are some truly e ..read more
