We have hosted a Friendsgiving get together a few times. It is always a great time sitting around the dinner table enjoying a delicious meal. Generally it is a week or two before Thanksgiving, so it is a good chance to sit and relax before we dive into the holidays. This year is (quite a […]
Matching Family Pajamas for the Holidays
Last year, I started making a list of all the traditions I wanted to start from Emmett’s first Christmas. It included things such as visiting Santa, pictures with the tree, and of course matching family pajamas. Since we are now only a couple months away from Christmas, I started hunting down family pajamas for this […]
Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Head Wreath
Have you visited the Disney Parks during the fall? We have been there in the fall a couple times, and it is always fun to check out the great fall décor along Main Street and throughout the parks. Since we won’t be visiting this fall, I have the next best thing – a Mickey Mouse […]
Emma Pet Robot Vacuum by trifo
I was provided with an Emma Pet Robot Vacuum from trifo to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own. I remember the first time we installed new hard floors in our home. We had been living with 4 furry animals and carpet for a couple years and decided that white carpet and our lifestyle […]
Indoor Toys that Get the Wiggles Out
As summer starts to ease into fall, I’ve been thinking about how we’re going to entertain a busy toddler throughout the winter when we can’t take him out and about. Brad and I have been talking about different toys we can set up in the garage to give Emmett a space to burn some energy […]
Things to Consider When Car Shopping
Brad and I have talked on and off for the past couple years about replacing our Honda Pilot. The Pilot was the first car we bought together after we got married, but at over 15 years old it was beginning to show it’s age. I had always assumed that we would simply replace the Pilot […]
15+ Pouches to Carry Your Face Mask
As the past few months have progressed, it has become more obvious that face masks are going to be part of our lives for quite a while. This adds one more thing to remember to grab as you head out the door. I figure it probably isn’t the best plan to simply throw a mask […]
How to Sublimate Kitchen Towels
This past fall when I decided that I wanted to sublimate all the things, one of the items that I was most excited about was kitchen towels. I had made some funny kitchen tea towels in the past using heat transfer vinyl, but sublimation was a great way to really branch out into some more […]
Disneyland Inspired Birthday Party
I started planning Emmett’s birthday party back in February when I decided that it was going to be Disneyland themed. At one point, I had even thought about making little themed “ride” areas in the backyard. As we headed into quarantine, I was hoping that we’d be back to “normal” before his birthday, but the […]
1st Birthday Gifts for Many Years of Fun
I can’t believe that Emmett has already enjoyed his first birthday! Other than the month of March, it seems like yesterday that we were heading down to Portland to meet him. As we approached Emmett’s first birthday, I started thinking about a first birthday gift. In theory, he doesn’t really need anything and I contemplated […]
