My Pantry Refresh Using Dollar Store Bins & Cricut Labels

Home Life
Organizing always puts my mind at ease. There’s something about the crisp look of a tidy drawer or the practical use of space in a closet that just makes me feel calm and oddly satisfied. I know I’m not alone in this. What is it about home organization that just really revs things up? Crisp, clean lines and practical storage solutions are everything, especially to this busy mama. I also love to craft. Recently, my sister-in-law and I invested...

The Ultimate Diaper Bag Checklist for Baby & Toddler

Mom Life
I’m totally that girl that’s always prepared for just about anything.  This started before I had kids, but it really comes in handy now when I’m on-the-go with a toddler and a baby.  Even though being out and about is rare these days, it’s still good to stay prepared by having the diaper bag packed and ready to go with all the essentials. When we just had Lily, it was easy to pack up everything in the diaper bag,...

Mamas Need Some Time, Too

Mom Life•Self-Love
I hope everyone is doing well.  We’ve finally had a little time to catch up with family, breathe in some summer air, and stretch our legs a little… and boy, it’s been nice! And, I don’t know about you, but all of these things feed my soul and improve my mental health. They also keep my girls smiling. It’s no secret that I’ve been quiet on TYY for the past few months.  To put it simple, life just got the...

13 Ways People Are Coming Together to Spread Joy

Home Life•Self-Love
I believe, in most situations, you can find silver linings if you look for them. And lately, I’ve been finding silver linings in the way people have been coming together despite all the social distance between us. The stay home #withme movement, coupled with the widespread use of technology, have revealed how people can still support one another and spread optimism, hope, and joy. Despite all the social distancing, people are coming together in ways they haven’t ever before....

15 Activities for Kids AND Dogs to Enjoy Together

Home Life•Mom Life
If you’re anything like us, you treat your dog like another one of your children.  During these times of social distancing, and really any time you’re cooped up in the house, you’ll want a list of activities for kids and dogs to do together. I actually refer to my Penny girl as my “furst” baby.  We’ll always have that special bond, as she will always remember those solo days of endless walks, treats, and attention.  Although, she still finds...

How to Turn Panic into Positivity

Home Life•Self-Love
Over the past few days, we’ve all done a lot of thinking about our priorities.  We’ve dealt with circumstances that we’ve never even had to think about before.  We’ve rattled off questions in panic, whether out loud or to ourselves. When will life return to normal?  What am I going to do with my time?  What if I get sick and pass it on to my loved ones?  What will we do if we have to travel?  Which plans...

Easter Basket Ideas Your Toddler Will Love (that Aren’t Candy!)

Celebrate•Mom Life
Easter is just around the corner. The pastels have been unpacked, and the floral decorations are up.  Now it’s time to fill your toddler’s Easter basket with goodies. As you think about what your toddler needs, you keep coming up empty.  You have no ideas, except for the obvious… candy.  Oh, the dreaded candy.  It’s hard to avoid when Easter candy teases us from every single shelf in the store.  But with the right alternatives, it’s possible. So that...

Work-Life Balance: How You Can Actually Achieve It

Self-Love
Work-life balance is something we definitely struggle with in our house.  We run ourselves ragged trying to achieve all our goals, meet all our deadlines, and cross off the entire to-do list.  All while trying to be good parents to our sweet girls. We do a lot of this work thing, and not enough of this life thing.  Sometimes I actually think work-life balance is just a myth someone made up just so people could drive themselves even crazier...

Self-Care Sunday

Self-Love
The truth is it’s difficult to take care of yourself every single day of the week.  There’s work, events, family, responsibilities, house chores, appointments, and everything else that’s just simply life.  Often times, self-care takes a backseat to all of this. There are many nights when even washing my face before bed seems impossible.  And that’s the most basic self-care out there.  Aside from brushing your teeth, which if you forget to do that, well, let’s not even go...

10 House Chores I Try to Do Every Day

Home Life•Mom Life
I am one of those moms in denial about the house being taken over by my kids.  It’s actually laughable that I used to make comments about how “I’ll never let my kids toys be all over the house” and “I’m not going to let my kids have that much stuff.” Who did I think I was??!  Now, I laugh at the naivety of that girl. And now, I can’t imagine life without the stuff and the messes (well,...
