Sofia was adamant about having a desk in her room so that she could complete her homework in there where it’s nice and quiet. I was inspired by The Pink Dream as she has this same desk and chair for her daughter. It couldn’t have been anymore perfect for Sofia’s room and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. The chair matches her wall paper that I’ve been procrastinating over a year to put up (don’t judge me). Below I’m sharing pictures and links to all the supplies. Hopefully you got a chance to check out my reel of how I organized her desk top and drawer. Click here to browse + shop the ..read more

New Year’s Eve Crafts with ,Ring Pop Thank you ,Ring Pop for sponsoring this post. With the New Year approaching I thought it would be fun to share some fun crafts my family and I made with Ring Pop! For New Year’s Eve, we like to keep it low-key at home with just our immediate family. This year I wanted to craft something that was fun and practical for all. We made some unique stem rings so we could identify our drink glasses and also made some whimsical Ring Pop wands! I get such nostalgia with ,Ring Pop because I have such fond memories of enjoying them as a kid and remembering all the fun ..read more

Hi friends! It's that time of year where I scour the world wide web for holiday pajamas! If you're like me then you love a good deal. I loathe the idea of paying full price for anything so if it's on sale then I am loving it! I sifted through so many sites to find the best deals for you guys. I linked everything and added some pictures so you can get a better look. I found quite a few between $15-$20. I at times don't mind spending a little more since I know Olivia gets all of Sofia's hand me downs. I also (depending on the brand) go a size up so we can have them for the following year (as lo ..read more

Dogs need gifts too! Our miniature golden doodle, Zeke will be 3 on October 28th so what better reason is there than that to make him a little goodie basket?? Also, before we get into the goodie basket guide, I wanted to point out this adorable picture that a very talented designer made for Zeke's birthday last year. Check her out on instagram here. I found some amazing things at 5 Below, HomeGoods, Target, and Amazon. That "Z" is made out of glitter card stock that I cut using my Cricut Maker. I linked my favorite items here and here. Stay tuned for pictures of Zeke with his new sweater on ..read more

You guys!! I cannot believe my baby is 5. She's no longer a baby (so cliché, I know). To be honest we kept her birthday super simple. We were going to have a party for her with close friends and family but decided against it (long story but it was for the best). On her actual birthday she brought donuts to school for her friends and they had a small celebration there for her. When she got home I made sure I had her favorite meal ready (she requested spaghetti with meatballs + caesar salad). I decorated the table with Unicorn everything (simple stuff from Target). After dinner we cut cake and o ..read more

Hi Friends! One thing I really love doing with my kids is... you guessed it; shopping! Sofia is now actually at the age where she grabs her iPad, opens her gap or zara app and adds things she likes to her cart. I love to give her the freedom to look and choose what she wants (within reason). Sofia has a lot of clothes and quite frankly, so does Olivia. Olivia gets all of Sofia's hand me downs, but before you start feeling bad for Olivia..let me assure you that all of the clothes she gets look brand new. The trick to that is quite simple.. I don't put any of the girls' clothing in the dryer. I ..read more

One thing for sure at our home is that our kids love eating pasta (the adults do too). That's why I came up with this fun and easy recipe - especially for those busy school nights. Before I make any recipe, I head to Safeway to make sure I'm prepared with all the ingredients. I was so pleased to find all three of the Vero Gusto® Sauces by Barilla® in stock for this recipe. We chose Vero Gusto® Sauces by Barilla® because of their delicious homemade taste from being slow cooked and simmered in Parma, Italy with the finest regional ingredients and without any added flavors or sugar (shhh, don't ..read more

Yes, that time of year has returned and I am not complaining! The temps have dropped (for now) in Maryland and I am not complaining which really makes it feel like Fall out! What better way to bring in the chili + spooky weather better than pajamas? Lets discuss these adorable ones I got for the girls! I love that these pajamas are super versatile and work all year round but still compliment spooky season just fine too! This brand is definitely one of my favorites for my girls! Here is another pair of that I absolutely adore for pajama season: Below is a round up of some of my absolute favor ..read more

I invited my best friend over for a very long and overdue dinner. Her favorite meal on earth is spaghetti with meatballs + a side of caesar salad! My serve ware situation needed some updating so I took advantage of some SWEESE dishes! I love that they are made of lead-free ceramic and also that they are microwave and oven safe (dishwasher too). Not to mention they are aesthetically pleasing in every way and are pure quality! I made homemade croutons for the salad and used the the the 22oz SWEESE bowls which are the perfect size for a salad or soup! They came in a set of 6 and the pastel colo ..read more

I know you feel me when I say this but have you ever gone into the grocery store and found yourself aimlessly walking around grabbing things trying to think of what to make for dinner the next couple of days? In my case it's online ordering from Whole Foods on Prime or getting some essentials from Wegman's on my Instacart app ( major time savers and worth every penny of the membership)! Last week I decided that instead of ordering a bunch of random stuff to somehow make meals with that I would plan out a weekly menu and order accordingly. This my friends has been a game changer for me. I found ..read more
