My son turned two in July and he is puppy obsessed! We choose the theme Ready Two Pawty. We wanted this to be lots of fun for all the kiddos in attendance. So we did an adopt a puppy station to serve as both the kid activity during the party and the party favor. Sharing everything we purchased and used to make the day extra special.

I'm the mom of a two year old boy. Sharing all the toys he loves for both indoor and outdoor play.

As a avid reader and self proclaimed bookworm sharing all the items I would want or would buy for a fellow book lover.

A moodboard of everything I’m fixated on this month: my emotional support coffee order, local hidden gems, products I swear by, and all the little random things that are making life as a millennial boy mama feel fun (and a little more put together). Consider this the highlight reel of my current obsessions—equal parts comfy, caffeinated, and slightly unhinged.

Fall 2025 is here and as a millennial boy mama, my wardrobe is basically a balancing act between business casual meetings and running after my baby. Think cozy cardigans (because they’re basically my emotional support clothing), work-appropriate pieces that secretly feel like pajamas, and outfits that can survive coffee spills and Goldfish crumbs. If you’re also trying to look put-together while staying comfy—welcome to the club.

I love all things food in the fall. It's the start of all the comfort foods in my opinion. Let's be clear the correct order of best fall flavors (although all are great) is Smores~Pumpkin ~Apple
