Simplifying Your Holiday Cards with Basic Invite
Moms should be given a medal around the holiday season. We prepare meals, shop the best deals, decorate the entire house, go to all the events, wrap every gift, and as if that weren’t enough, we send out Holiday greeting cards to our friends and family. Well, not all moms do ALL of these things, but we personally love sending out Christmas cards every year. It is so fun to look at the different holiday card ideas and designs when searching for the perfect layout for your family’s pictures. Seeing the difference just twelve months can make is a sweet sentiment for parents every holiday season. You may be thinking…

Pregnancy and Infancy Loss: What Not to Say
If only one person in the world could relate to this post, I would still share it. Unfortunately, the number of women that experience a miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and other types of infancy loss is quite high. If you are part of the ‘1 in 4 women’ statistic, know that we are too. Personally we aren’t sure that the numbers make it any easier. While a lot of women can relate, we all deal with the loss differently and some experiences are more traumatic than others, but this is not a contest for who has the worst case scenario. It is heartbreaking for anyone in any of these situations. If…

Beach Trips with Toddlers: What to bring
To all my beach loving mamas that don’t mind a little sand and salty water, our favorite season is almost here! As the spring breakers make their way to the beaches in the next few weeks, we are just getting started here on the gulf coast. Living close enough to the beach to enjoy it every day is a luxury that I do not take for granted. Now that the kids are somewhat self-sufficient, I have a feeling that day trips will likely be a regular occurrence for my family once again. While I know it’s a task with toddlers, I would say it is totally worth the work. It…
