    Little Monster First Birthday Party

    You guys…it’s official. We have a ONE YEAR OLD (ok technically he’s already 14 months, but it’s been busy over here!). I honestly cannot believe it! The past year has absolutely flown by. High Chair // “One” Banner I admittedly started thinking about and planning for his first birthday party several months in advance (I was just so excited!). Initially I had a few themes I was deciding between, but when I started seeing monster themed parties pop up on Pinterest, it was an easy decision. I loved the colorful decorations and the cute little monsters scattered throughout. Luckily Blake loved it too and then everything quickly came together! Cake Stand…

    Top Amazon Purchases from 2018

    How to Crush Your Goals This Year

    If we are being honest here…I LOVE New Year’s Resolutions. I look forward to the fresh start every year and am a sucker for making a list and buying a new planner. There’s something about a blank slate and the excitement of implementing changes and trying to hit all your goals that gets me revved up – you know, “new year, new me” and all that jazz 🙂 One of my blogger friends, Bonnie, created a #momblogchallenge this year and the first month’s topic is on goals for the year and self care…what a great opportunity for me to take a step back and evaluate what I want 2019 to…

    Top Blog Posts of 2018

    Hi all! I still can’t believe it’s officially 2019…last year FLEW by. I always love the beginning of the new year – it’s a fresh start and gets me in a mood to goal set, clean out everything in my house, and work on little things in my life to contribute to an overall happier and healthier mindset! I took a lot of time off from the blog at the end of the year and while it was nice to get a little break/reset, I am excited to get back on here and publish some new posts! I put a little poll up on Instastories the other night to get…
