Scooby was one of my favorite shows growing up, now it’s my daughters! I love watching all the old movies and shows together with her. These are some that we have on repeat.

Some of our favorites and some of our wishes for our backyard. The backyard is a place for our kids to learn about nature, weather, pretend play, sensory play, and learn to move their bodies. Here’s a list of things that help make the backyard fun and inviting for big and small (and furry)!

Going to the beach with a baby was rather intimidating. I didn’t know what we would need. So I packed everything and anything and didn’t use half of it. This is a list of stuff we used or found useful.

My second born had some medical issues and had appointments nearly every day for the first three months of his life. We were constantly on the move. These are some staples that made it possible to keep my sanity.

I grew up loving the magic of Harry Potter. I want my children to grow up with as much magic in their life as I had. So I’m doing a Harry Potter Nursery for our youngest. This is a list of different ideas I’ve come across and loved! Once it’s done I’ll share a picture of his little broom closet of a room. (We live in an old house so the rooms are quite small, he has his own room it’s not actually a broom closet!)

When my son was diagnosed with a cow milk protein intolerance at three months old, I had a huge and fast dietary change. I started to have to read all the labels of everything. From chips, to cookies, to pancakes, even bread crumbs. These are some of my new staples in my house. Some that will stay well beyond when we can have dairy again.

Disney cruise line quickly became my favorite vacation. Great food, Broadway entertainment, family fun, tropical paradises, Disney magic..all around amazing. I grew up taking a cruise once every few years. We took one for our honeymoon as just adults then most recently when I was pregnant with our second child. So I am a seasoned cruiser and think I have our list down pact. I love to make lists for myself so here is my packing list for when we go on a Disney Cruise!

Working opposite shifts, my husband is stuck to do bedtime alone with the two kids. One kid is three and our other is seven months old. So it is no easy feat on your own. This is what we use and helps him get through tubby time with laughter and smiles rather than a fight.

This is a list of shows and movies that I can and do rewatch over and over. I enjoy the nostalgia of rewatching them. Sometimes the show brings me back to the feelings I was feeling when I first watched the show. It just brings me comfort when sometimes I feel like my life is changing to fast.

I enjoy a good fantasy, romance, and dark romance so be careful to check for any triggers before reading. 😈

I have a 6’ by 6’ closet of a “full bathroom” therefor I must optimize every bit of space to help keep it organized and easily cleaned. These are some of the things we use to keep the house going.
