Shopping for the ladies in your life should be fun— so I want to share some of my favorite ideas for your BFF, your MIL, your sister, mom, grandma, coworker or any other woman who elevates and adds value to your life. Sure, I’m not a huuuuge shopper— but when it comes to the holidays, […]

It’s that time of year! Let’s celebrate our loved ones this holiday season with gifts given from the heart with intention & love. No surprises here, I’m not a big shopper— but when it comes to the holidays, I always aim to get my family & friends things that they’ll genuinely love and use for […]

Finding fun, useful & one-of-a-kind gifts for my sweet fam is one of my FAVORITE parts of the holiday season! Even though I’m not a big shopper— when it comes to the holidays, I always aim to get my family & friends things that they’ll genuinely love and use for years. And that often requires […]

Anybody else just feel READY for the sparkles and joy and celebration the holidays bring this year? IDK what it is… maybe my kids’ ages, or maybe the fact that the world seems collectively more excited for the holiday season to start (hello, Christmas trees going up everywhere in early Nov.) which to me just […]

My inbox has been blowing up this week with requests for healthier swaps for Halloween treats.

With sales on sales kicking off and the holidays around the corner, there’s a lot of STUFF coming at us these days. Whew, ‘tis the season, right? While I don’t want to add to any consumer noise orrr overwhelm (ever), I always get questions in my inbox & DMs about: my favorite beauty supplies, wellness […]

Something about the changing of seasons always makes me want to give my closet a refresh… a full-blown dig-through, clean-out overhaul where I edit down the pieces I haven’t touched and know I probably won’t wear again. And then I take note: What pieces/staples am I missing? What is worn down and could use replacing? […]

I’m all about (healthy) short-cuts in the kitchen— and crockpots and instantpots are the best of the best. Throw a bunch of ingredients in in the morning, turn it on, forget about it as you go about your day and then dinner’s magically ready by the end of the day? Or even better with a […]

It’s been a year since Noah started his little pre-preschool program, and since then, I’ve been having so much fun packing his lunches.
