I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Ella’s dollhouse that she received for her 3rd birthday so I thought I’d share the information! We bought this dollhouse! I loved the inside and how it was made, it felt so much sturdier than the plastic dollhouses you see everywhere. However, I’m not a huge green fan and so I decided we needed to made one small change…the doors! After a little work (thanks, Judd!), it made a drastic difference and Ella and I are obsessed with her ...

A Letter to My Babies on Their 3rd Birthday
Every year I email Camden and Ella a letter on their birthday (plus other random ones throughout the year).

Dear Camden and Ella, Happy 3rdBirthday!! Every year we celebrate the greatest gifts that I’ve ever been given, you! It’s my favorite day of the year. I feel like I don’t get overly emotional except around your birthday ...
Selecting the Best Preschool for Your Child
Oh goodness, friends…it was a process picking a preschool for Camden and Ella! I thought I’d share about my experience in case it might help someone.

My first tip is to have all your ...
You had me at…”Never Shave My Legs Again!”

I recently found the most amazing laser and skin care center in Charleston, Charleston Laser & Aesthetics! The office is beautiful and super clean inside and the staff is so kind!! They frequently use the hashtags, #realpeople and #realbeauty! I absolutely love this because I always assumed these places were for people very into cosmetics or ...
Life is Better in Matching Fuzzy Slippers
If you know me, you know that I’m all about matching and all about Christmas! We have many Christmas traditions that I hope stick around and that my kids pass on to their kids. Some of these include: a new Christmas book, seeing Santa, finding Santa’s sleigh bells, donuts on Christmas morning, opening stockings on Christmas Eve, and going for a walk on the beach on Christmas. Another fun one is we always get new matching Christmas pajamas. I ordered ours for this year and then I saw that ...
