On the Go with Jersey Mike’s!
This post is sponsored by Jersey Mike’s but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that we are moving to DC this Summer! And, that we’ve spent the last 10 or so (very busy) days house hunting… I think we may have seen close to 30 homes! Which in case you’ve never been house hunting, or were lucky enough to find your perfect home on the first day… that is A LOT OF HOUSES.

My Go-To Summer Coffee Drink: Cold Brew Mocha Iced Coffee (Easy Recipe!)
This post is sponsored by Chameleon Cold-Brew Concentrate but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. I like coffee. Like, a lot. In all its forms, I just find it glorious. Even the smell gives me warm fuzzies! I generally love drinking it in the morning before the kids are up – with a splash of cream, a pinch of stevia and my favorite collagen. But also LOVE it anytime of day over ice! It’s the perfect refreshing drink on a hot day or if I need an extra pep in my step during a busy week.

10 Minute Makeup Routine!
Happy Monday!! Ya’ll. These past few weeks for us have been complete chaos. G is about to graduate Pre-K (cue me crying like a baby), M’s travel schedule has been has hectic as ever, we’ve been working around the clock to wrap up house projects (if you follow me on IG – you’ve seen sneak peeks of our master bathroom refresh) and we have some big news to share pretty soon! Needless to say, we are ready for a vacation. I shared a simple makeup routine over on IG a few weeks ago and many of you have been asking for the product list. So here is the list of…

Kicking bottled water and living better with Brita!
This post is sponsored by Brita, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. I’m a water snob. There, I said it. My husband already knows this to be true, but when it comes to water, I can be picky! Though we joke at home about my high standards for good water, really it can be boiled down to two simple things 1. I like clean tasting water, and 2. I like knowing that my water is free from contaminants that can potentially endanger mine and my family’s health.

10 Positive Affirmations to Tell Your Kids
The other night, I was scrolling through old pictures (I do that sometimes) and I came across a video of my oldest daughter and I from a couple of years ago. She is about two years old in it – and while to her we are simply playing a “repeat after me” game, to me, it honestly brought tears to my eyes. (scroll down for video) Just as hard as it is for us to parent these days, it’s hard for kids to grow up. Thanks to the advances of technology and social media, kids are being forced to grow up faster, they are being bombarded with things that test…

5 Simple Ways to Wish Your Out of Town Sweetie a Happy Valentines Day
Our Valentine’s tradition seems to be spending it apart… I think this is the 5th or 6th year in a row?… but who’s counting 😉 We’ve always made the most of it, and honestly it’s ok! Though Valentines Day is more of a family thing for us (i’m a total girl mom – think tutus, dance parties, heart coloring and cookie baking) but I will admit, sometimes I do get caught up in the romantic hype. Would it be nice to do something traditionally Valentines related ON Valentines day?? Sure. Who wouldn’t like that?! BUT, with M’s crazy schedule, it’s not always possible. So here are a few ways we’ve made…

10 Toxic Beauty Ingredients to Avoid
Our bodies are exposed to thousands of chemicals and toxins on a daily basis – from our household cleaning supplies and beauty products, to environmental exposures and the food we eat. While it’s impossible to avoid every single synthetic chemical, you can do your part in limiting the amount of toxins your body is exposed to by making cleaner choices when possible. Many harmful chemicals are present in our beauty and skincare products and are being absorbed into our bodies through our skin, our body’s largest organ. The sad truth? The beauty industry is highly unregulated. Especially considering the types of ingredients that are passing through their system and into…

Relaxing Routines to Promote a Restful Nights Sleep
This post is sponsored by Celestial Seasonings but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. One of my resolutions for 2019 is to get more sleep. And one of the ways i’m accomplishing this is by establishing relaxing nighttime routines. We’ve worked hard to find our “sweet spot” – the time the magic happens because we all know 5PM is basically “meltdown o’clock” in toddler land. We needed to move up our dinner time to make sure we were able to incorporate relaxing activities post-dinner.
