A Crunchy Mom’s Guide to Kid’s Bath Time
I know you’re probably thinking, “bath time is easy, I don’t need anyone explaining it to me.” BUT I want to share a few things that I’ve learned since becoming a mom so that you can create a healthy space for yourself and your littles. We all take baths, well at least I hope we do! It’s apart of my family’s daily routine and something I never thought twice about as a new mom. I ran the bathwater, put my baby in the bath, washed and then dried with a towel. That’s how most bath times go, right? But have you ever looked a little deeper into it? The first…

An Update On The Girls And An Adorable, Quick Hair How-To.
As the girls get older, I catch myself remembering some of the things I use to say. Things like: “They will always match,” “they will always wear bows in their hair,” “I’ll never bribe them to do things that they need to do,” etc. It really does make me giggle. As a first time parent, I really was a know it all and man, these last 7 years have taught me so much. Mostly that I didn’t know anything and I am constantly learning new lessons every day. It makes me give them and myself all the grace because we are all learning and growing together. I have had some…

Back to School: Lunch Prep
BACK TO SCHOOL IS HERE! Some of us have already started but some of us are not starting until next week. Either way, it’s here and I don’t know about you but I am super excited and so are my littles. Our children are attending a new school here and every day they ask if today is “the” day they go to their new school. I don’t buy my children new backpacks every year, I’ve found that a high quality one will last them a few years. They do get a new lunchbox every year. I read this article last year about how dirty lunchboxes get and of course after…

Mommin’ Made Easy with the Baby Delight Playpen + G I V E A W A Y
This post is in partner with Baby Delight. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. As a mom of four, I am often told: “Man, I just don’t know how you do it with all those kids.” It’s something that makes me smile and also makes me shake my head at the same time. I don’t claim to be that “perfect mom” who has her whole life together. Most days are struggle bus central but the real truth about navigating motherhood is that every day is different, it’s not always easy and its never perfect. I have four children at four very…

Car Seat Safety and What Brands We Love and Trust
After #momlife-ing hard for the last seven years, I can say that one of the topics I’ve learned the most about is car seats. What brands aren’t great and what brands are. Where to place them in a vehicle and even the chest clip levels. I can easily say that this is a topic that brings out my mama bear and I always want to advocate for our children in this area. So many people (including myself) have gone wrong in this area and I want to share things that I’ve learned along the way to make it easier. When Nolan was born I was really uneducated about car seats…
