    My Top Nontoxic Baby + Kid Products

    My children’s favorite time of the day is BATHTIME! At any mention of the word bath, they are smiling and laughing with each other, trying to strip off their clothes and jump in the tub! They play together and splash around,  I normally always oblige and clean up the water that travels out of the tub and let them play until they are nice and pruney! We don’t have a set schedule for their baths; it just happens organically every day sometimes multiple times a day at that. Whenever their bath time occurs, I know I’m in for lots of bubbles and lots of giggles! Bath time isn’t only fun…

    Why I Keep A “Mom Survival” Bag In My Car

    This post is in partner with Shop Hannah Bee’s. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Have you ever gotten in the car, left the house and heard “mom, I need ______!” and “______” is something you don’t have? It has happened to me more times than I can count. As a mom of five, there is always SOMETHING to be brought with us when we leave our house. Trying to rally 5 kids to leave the house more than likely also causes me to forget things…. which isn’t the best when you decide to leave the safe net of your own…

    How I Make Time Work For Me With My Business

    One of the biggest challenges I have faced growing in my businesses while raising kids is the amount of time I have. TIME is never on my side and is the common denominator that makes me feel flustered. In the years that I have worked while my babies are with me, time is the thing that I’ve let control me and the growth I could experience while doing both. We simply cannot do it all. It cannot all be done. It’s IMPOSSIBLE and I know I am not alone in setting unrealistic expectations on myself and then being so discouraged when it just doesn’t happen. A few days before Christmas……

    Things I’ve Learned As A Mom of Multiples

    SHOP BOTH OF OUR OUTFITS BY CLICKING HERE. The things I wish I could go back and tell myself as I was holding my first born, Nolan, as a squishy little newborn. A lot of things have changed since he was born, including the fact that I’ve had five children in the last 8 years. Being a mom and a mom of multiple children at that, has allowed me to learn more things I never knew I would, grow more than I could have ever imagined and love harder than ever before. There is never a shortage of things to do with them and I try to be present as…

    Why Our Children Do Chores + A Chore Template For Any Age

    I am often asked how a household my size flows and LOTS of questions about how it stays somewhat neat. Honestly, some days are easier than others but I’ve learned that for our family our life works best when we all work together. From a very small age, Derrek and I have included the kids in on everything we do to keep our home in working order. We found that the more the children feel empowered, the easier it is to have them doing “their part” on their level. This most certainly means, throwing perfection out of the window because let’s just face it… it’s not going to be perfect.…
