DIY Dinosaur Sensory Bin

TODDLER
This is a pretty straightforward project but I thought I’d share pictures and links for inspiration. I’m a sucker for a project/toy that will entertain my kids for minutes on end while also stimulating their creativity. Since they are so into dinosaurs these days, I thought I’d craft my own backyard kit. I’ve purchased many sensory kits before but the issue I’ve found (for us personally) is that my kids still like to put stuff in their mouths (even...

Italian Chopped Salad

RECIPES
One of my goals for the new year was to craft even more salads. If there is one thing that I make in the kitchen that is a great balance of taste and nutrition, it’s a salad! I haven’t had an Italian chop in so long and I thought I’d try to make a delicious one at home. I added avocado for the extra creaminess! Ingredients: Romaine Lettuce Sliced cherry tomatoes Pearl mozzarella Sliced genoa salami Sliced olives Diced...

Little Black Holiday Dress

Holiday Outfits•OUTFITS
This Holiday Season has been the perfect balance of cozy at home and festive activities. We’ve seen a few Santas and light shows, had pajama parties and baked cookies, and are really soaking up all the exciting energy that is unfolding around us. It’s been a magical season and I’m loving it so much. I think when it comes to holiday style, many would say they are either team sequins or velvet (team sequins here!!), but I think no...

Christmas Snack Board

Holiday Recipes•RECIPES
Making festive boards with yummy treats makes snacking just a little bit more fun, don’t you agree? I love baking as much as the next person but the sugar highs in our house have been over the top lately and I we are in need of a break! So I thought I’d try and come up with a healthy afternoon treat for my kiddos that’s festive but made with mostly fruit and vegetables! The bell pepper looks orange in...

Sequins for the Holidays

Holiday Outfits
Greetings from a chilly Austin! It’s finally feeling cool and crisp around here and I’m so excited for all the soups and cozy movies as we make our way towards Thanksgiving and the holiday season beyond. My only goal this week is to have no kids home sick from school. Small victories, right? Actually I’d call that one a huge victory! Wish us luck. I’ve been really leaning into all the sparkle this year. It’s only November and I’ve...

Savoring the Special Moments

Family•LESSONS AND TIPS
Whenever I hear the reference “the thick of it”, it’s mostly referring to parents with young children. I’ll hear, “wow you have 3 kids under 5? Yeah you’re in the thick of it”…and now I kind of get it. It’s having these little dependent beings around at all times and feeling like you sometimes don’t have any control. Whether it’s the emotions or sickness or just total chaos, there are times when it feels it’s hard to come up...
