This post is brought to you in partnership with The Motherhood and Baby Magic. All thoughts, photos and opinions remain my own. When I was pregnant for the first time, I didn’t really know what I was doing. Pre Pinterest, pre Instagram I just did what I thought I should do when it came to baby must haves and registry items and routines to prepare for baby. I followed the guidelines on Baby’s R Us website (can’t believe it doesn’t even exist anymore- how old am I?!) and gathered all the baby things on planet earth. Joking, but it sure felt like it at the time! My husband and I lived in a little city house high on top of a steep hill above a trendy neighborhood in PGH. We ... read more
20 Great Middle Grade Reads
The following list of books includes 20 of our most recent middle grade reads. I’ve included affiliate links to each title. Some of these selections were sent to us to review and share, others were purchased on our own. As always all opinions remain my own (and Lilly’s own as she’s my quick little middle grade reader!). **** I loved rounding up my own summer reading list for you guys- so many messages and conversations happened on Instagram because of that list and a ton of you are working your way through the same books I am. It’s been fun to be able to chat about them and compare what we like and didn’t like! My middle grade book stack is also a mile long. Lilly is a MUCH ... read more
DIY Scrunchies And a No-Sew Option!
DIY Scrunchies- aka the new favorite summer activity. **** I had this one scrunchie when I was a little girl that I LOVED. It wasn’t a DIY Scrunchie (probably came from Claire’s right?!) But It was soft and silky and had the perfect comfy stretch to it. It’s on my wrist in many a childhood photo. I had scrunchies stashed in my bathroom drawers and in my many bags and backpacks. I’d put one in after swimming all day in the summer. But as most things from the 90’s tended to do, scrunchies eventually were OUT along with butterfly clips and bell bottom jeans from Delia’s and roll on glitter I had to beg my parents to let me wear. Needless to say I’ve been THRILLED ... read more
Kids Travel Backpacks
I wanted to get this post out sooner because it would’ve been so useful for summer travels but such is life these days right? - Affiliate links used. - We’ve been using these kids travel backpacks for a long time now (I think there are more pics of them in my Costa Rica with kids post) and after yet another trip with them I need to dedicate a whole blog post to why we love this particular one. Everyone knows kids backpacks can be stupid expensive for them to just get really beat up and not function like you actually need them to. This is not the case for the kids travel backpacks we use and love! For me, nothing beats functionality but the fact that these come in SO many ... read more
