This post is sponsored by Cricut. All opinions are my own. I haven’t had a Cricut machine in over 10 years! The last machine I had was the one that required cartridges! It is much different than the one I have now. After getting a teaching job I was so hoping to get Explore 3! I wanted to create bulletin board letters and vinyl decals for my kid’s water bottles for school! This machine is a dream and can do SO much!

This post is sponsored by Visit Fredericksburg. All opinions are my own. Fredericksburg is known for a few things… one of them being wine! It’s named after Prince Frederick of Prussia. The city became known as a welcoming place. The residents celebrate their German and American heritage. Fredericksburg has made several “top” lists over the years, including “Best Small Town,” “Best Small Town for Shopping,” “Most Arts Vibrant Small Communities” and “Prettiest Town in Texas,” a significant achievement bestowed by Architectural Digest in 2018. It is home to over 60 wineries and it is the hometow ..read more

I really want to travel to as many cities in Texas as possible! My kids love traveling with us and exploring new towns! Last summer we took a trip to Concan, Texas where Garner State Park is and the Frio river.. the river everyone floats! I searched hashtags on Instagram first for all things Frio River. Next I needed to find the best house that would sleep all 5 of us plus 5 other family members! A pool was a must also! I stumbled upon Casa Rio Rentals! They have a number of rentals all near the Frio River! Such a great location. The home we stayed in sleeps 26 PEOPLE! It was massive with plen ..read more

A boho birthday party round 2! Ainsley’s 7th birthday was also a boho theme with rainbows! I love this theme so much! Leighton loves face paint, bounce houses, macaroni, snow cones, coloring, and bunnies! She got it all at her party! I was so excited to be able to host her party at my sweet friend’s beautiful home in Tomball. It is gorgeous with plenty of space! The home is located in downtown Tomball and there was so much space! She actually lets photographers use her home! Some INCREDIBLE small businesses helped to make the party such a success! They’re all located in Houston too! Juliana- J ..read more

A sweet friend of mine recently turned 40 and I was thrilled to help host her FIESTA! I already knew the shops I wanted involved so I reached out right away! They played a huge role in the success of this party! We knew this fiesta had to have margaritas, tacos, queso, and a lot of bright colors! Alpacas were also a must for the birthday girl and they were already booked before anything else! The birthday girl’s sweet mom hot glued pom pom balls onto the straws and her dad cut slits on the napkins for the fringe! They were the perfect little touches! We found an amazing taco vendor who cooked ..read more

This post is sponsored by Visit Orlando. All thoughts and opinions are my own. When we were discussing where to go for Spring break 2020 we had a few options but Florida was definitely at the top of the list! We love traveling as a family and discovering new places in the US! Disney was out of the question because we are going in October. We decided on Orlando for mainly one reason. The kids are obsessed with LEGOS so we had to visit LEGOLAND. We worked with Visit Orlando and they gave us all the best restaurants and parks to go to! We flew on Frontier Airlines and the flight was smooth, tha ..read more

Last year I was able to host my 1st annual Galentines Party at the Piney Rose Floral shop and it was such an amazing night! I was so excited when my friend Jess wanted to co-host with me this year! We decided to host it at The Peach Orchard Venue and it was gorgeous! This is a new venue to The Woodlands and we had some incredible vendors make this night incredible! Honestly one of the hardest parts was finding a dress to wear. Ha! It was raining and so cold during the party but I wanted to get dressed up! I found mine at Anthropologie! It was on sale too! The Drybar at Market street did m ..read more

Jerod and I had the opportunity to visit Denver recently WITHOUT kids! Flights were so cheap so we decided to book it last minute ( weeks before our trip). Our oldest was going to be away at church camp the same weekend so it worked out perfectly and we found a sitter! Our last out of state trip was to Arkansas! Check it out! After buying our airline tickets Jerod found us a cute AirBNB in a great location right near the football stadium. He decided we would ski at Winter Park! It was my first time skiing and I was so excited! The skit resort was about an hour from our house. I am so glad we ..read more

Thank you GoNoodle for sponsoring this post. With all of the holiday and bustle our kids can sometimes become complacent with staying inside and being still with their eyes glued to a game or movie.  If they’re already spending their time inside why not provide them with the tools to be moving while inside? I have the perfect solution. What’s even better is that this program is offered at their elementary school too!  GoNoodle is a fun, movement-based, cross-platform entertainment for kids! It’s the perfect platform to get your kids focused, active, or cheer up! Ainsley loves using ..read more
