A clean home is a happy home. I’m by no means a clean freak but I do prefer a clean sanitized space. Especially during the school year when kids are spreading their little germs. I’m picky about how it smells but find myself leaning towards certain products not just for scent but for sanitation as well.

We are a sweet treat fam. All the goodies during the holidays! I think that’s what makes them so special is that they usually only come around once a year. Long enough to enjoy them but not long enough to grow tired of them.

By no means is this healthy but it’s a sweet reward for eating other healthy things. Fall is the best time of year for warm cozy snacks and these hit every spot.

I am a 5 ingredient recipe kind of mom. The easier the better! We keep plenty stock of fruits and veggies and my kids naturally gravitate towards those anyways. Snacks and drinks are our weakness but they get plenty of protein and healthy foods in the fridge! I also tend to lean towards store brands if I can but these are things I’m a stickler on for name brand.

I tend to rewatch shows over and over again. I find it comforting but also wish I could rewatch it for the first time over and over again too. Knowing what is gonna happen makes it so easy to just have it on in the background since I typically don’t listen to music. Not opposed to watching new things but these are my form of therapy.

Not licensed or a professional. Just a budget friendly mom that learned over the course of a few years how to do my nails at home. YouTube and Amazon are my girls for tutorials and products.

My kids are generally easy going kids but they do have their moments. These few things help get us through our day one step at a time. From skin care to hygiene and more.

Things that I personally used for both my kids. What works for one doesn’t work for all but there are a few things that I swear by and will use again in the future.

*Always check with your doctor before trying anything new related to forms of nausea relief* Pregnancy is hard but it doesn’t have to be miserable. I found a few things that just made it that much more tolerable to get through. Especially the first 12 weeks!

These are things I used to survive motherhood weeks if not months after birth! And plan to rebuy with future pregnancies!
