This year, I’m really focusing on acts of service, kindness, and sisterhood with my Girl Scouts. I decided that for our project this week would be these Random Acts of Kindness cards. The girls put them together during our meeting, and will spend the week handing them out to friends, classmates, teachers, or anyone they […]
Christmas is such a magical time of year, isn’t it? I know I look forward to it every year! Seeing friends and family I’ve lost touch with, celebrating the season, and all the food. But, the clutter that can come with it, especially when you have kids, can be a nightmare that last for months. […]

You know how Bath and Body Works comes out with their new fall scents every year? I used to stock up on every single one. Because, hello, they smelled amazing, and I was […]
A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of getting some family photos done on the beach. It was totally last minute. In fact, I found out about 3 hours after I dyed the girls hair as part of their not-back-to-school celebration. Whoops. But, I’ve been wanting some pictures done on the beach since I […]
Looking for an easy, beginner level knitting project? These knit dishcloths are incredibly easy to work up! They’re also a sustainable and affordable replacement for sponges. I love knitting. It’s been my favorite hobby for about 4 years now, and before that, I crocheted off and on for most of my life. For years, I […]
We’re now into week 4 of our new homeschool journey! I have to say, it’s been amazing and has come way more naturally than I expected. When I look back now, it feels like we’ve always done this. It should, too, because if you think about it, we have. I taught my kids to crawl, walk, […]
