We love kicking off the holidays with festive pajamas, and that starts with Halloween. I love seasonal and themed pajamas, and already ordered fall and Halloween pajamas for the girls. We have a little more than a week left of summer but some of these prints are starting to sell …

When I look back at my three years of motherhood, it’s sort of shocking to think about the fact that I’ve spent a year-and-a-half of that time navigating a pandemic with an immunocompromised toddler and the last year, caring for a new baby. Today, I’m going to share what we …

I shared our basement before and after two years ago and today, want to share some updates I made over the last year. This was such a fun space to create for my girls and in an effort to make the space one we could all enjoy, I ordered some …

In preparation for at-home preschool and another winter at home, I wanted to wanted to make the girls’ art table a little more fun. It’s now a place that inspires creativity and learning. A fun and functional craft area is just what the playroom needed. I was shopping around for …

My 3-year-old loves play food. From treats to farmer’s market finds (but it’s mostly about the treats), these are her most-played-with toys. She bakes, plays grocery store, and fills her little baskets with toys, carrying them around the house. Here are the best (and cutest) play food sets for toddlers …

When you have a baby, there’s so much to do. From prepping the nursery to stocking up on essentials, and of course, the cute, tiny outfits, it’s hard to resist the urge to buy (and register for) everything.  Babies are tiny, and they need less than you think they do.

My baby turned three a few weeks ago and I realized I’d want to have this post to look back on. To know Margot is to love her. She’s kind, funny, sweet, loving, empathetic, inquisitive, smart, silly, grateful and very strong-willed. She is a bit opinionated (ha) and honest, just …

A few days ago, I mentioned that I was working on a blog post about becoming a mom in my mid-late 30s. The questions started coming in – someone mentioned that thirty-five wasn’t “late” and for the record, I agree – so I decided to say something in stories. Then …

I shared Kate’s birth story one year ago and an eight month update last spring, so it’s time for another update on our Kate now that she’s one! Kate turned one on June 27 and she’s not 13 months yet so I made it. Since very few people (read: no …

I became a mom at thirty-five and again at thirty-seven. It didn’t feel late at the time, but science and doctors told me everything I needed (or didn’t need) to hear. On one hand, we look at data and on another, we consider our careers, relationships, and what we can …

This week marks the start of the final 365 days of treatment. In July 2022, Margot will ring the bell (I cry just thinking about it), take her last dose of her daily chemo (pill), and her port will be removed. The protocol is long and sometimes feels never-ending – …

Some people love sleep. My toddler is not one of those people. She would rather stay up, play, and learn – her brain is truly incredible. “Can we play? Is it raining? Is it nighttime? Do you got a robe on? Is your hair dry? Can we go downstairs just …

  When you become a parent, slowly but surely, the toys begin to take over your home. During a pandemic or long, cold winter, you might even find yourself making a few too many purchases to try to keep things fun while you hibernate. Pikler climbers, bounce houses (why yes …

Our girl is three! She has been talking about having a Moana birthday for months, so I transformed our house into Motunui on her special day. One of the best parts of being a mom is making your child’s dreams come true, and it felt so special to make some …

Whenever I post photos that were taken with my mirrorless camera, I get asked what kind of camera I use. Two years later, you can now visit my blog, search “digital camera” or “mirrorless camera” and this post will show up. You’re welcome and also, sorry it took me over …

My daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia less than two months before her second birthday. We spent half the first month inpatient and over the next eight months spent a lot of time at clinic. During those first few weeks, we were in survival mode and had no idea what we …

Now that I am (just about) one year into being a mom of two, I finally feel like I’m in a place where I can talk about the transition from one to two kids. This has been one of my most requested blog posts but I wanted to be able …

Margot turns three in July, so over the last few weeks, I started looking at some gift ideas. She loves playing pretend – play food is probably her favorite thing right now. The thing I was most excited about is something I’ve wanted to buy her since she was born, …

Motherhood was going to be different for me. I’d weave my kids into my work, life, and travels, and would just continue my life with a baby in tow. And I wouldn’t be one of those moms who always worried or felt guilty when I wasn’t with my baby. My …

After a successful transition into a toddler bed and with Margot’s third birthday around the corner, the time felt right to make the transition to a big girl bed. I won’t be making too many changes, but we’ll say farewell to her crib, daybed, and glider, making some space for …

This is Margot’s first summer in a 3T, so we’re basically starting from scratch with her summer wardrobe. In the past, I’ve just purchased things that were cute but had zero plan for when or how these pieces would be worn. There were too many outfits she only wore once …
