Back to school season is in full swing here, and that means our kids are going to be coming into contact with a lot more germs! Adding a few vitamins and supplements to our children’s morning routine can help give their immune system a boost to help them fight off harmful germs while they’re away. In our home, we like to include a few natural products that will help keep them from getting sick! Here are my favorite immune-boosting products…

Wizard of Oz Costumes for Little Girls
August 14, 2019
Halloween is right around the corner and it had me reminiscing about some of the fun ways we dressed up last year. Not only did we do our family costume (which was a blast to create) but the girls dressed up several times before Halloween for different parties and events. These Wizard of Oz costumes had to be one of our favorites. We were running late to a halloween party one night and I had not prepared at all so…

Its back to school time so I am gearing up for the new school year. As much as I love hands on activities I still love to have a few learning websites in my back pocket to supplement our learning.

A self care guide for the overwhelmed mom
August 7, 2019
Self care is such a hot word right now. I scroll my IG feed full of hopes that a bubble bath and a girls night will fix all your problems. Here is the thing, I love those things too but those things aren’t going to help you get out of the hamster wheel of doing more, being more and striving for more.

It is DONE! IT IS FINALLY DONE. This might be the longest pantry renovation known to man and I am so excited to say it is finally finished. Whew! It wasn’t that this pantry makeover was difficult, actually it was super easy, but I searched far and wide to find the perfect farmhouse items to make it exactly how I wanted. I am proud to say it was worth the wait. If you have a cluttered pantry, full of ugly…
I just recently took on a project I had been dreaming about for years, renovating my pantry. Not only did I want to rip out the ugly wire shelves, I wanted to create a space that was beautiful and functional for my family. I feel like I did just that, well with a little bit of help. I had my friend Lex with Coastal Luxe Design not only help me design the space but show me how to keep in…
Creating a Family Recycling Center
June 26, 2019
I recently had the opportunity to visit Single Stream Recyclers in Sarasota, thanks to the Carton Council, for a tour of the incredible facility. As a “recycling novice” I was so intrigued to learn all the things. I was especially excited to see the newest recycling robot that can now sort cartons. Not only did Single Stream Recyclers have one robot but they had six, which makes them one of the most innovative facilities in the world. I came home…

It’s summer, so that means family road trips. This year we have a few trips planned and I have been gearing up for too many hours in the car with 3 kids under 6.

Here are some of my road trip must haves for kids and what we always bring in the car with us to help keep the kiddos happy. Snack…
