Not only is our little guy turning two in March (ah tear, where did time go? insert crying emoji) but all his little friends are as well, which means we have lots of two year old birthday parties coming up….
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Her
It may be a cheesy Hallmark holiday, but I will take any excuse to enjoy a fun celebration in the middle of winter. It’s a weird holiday to shop for, but I find little excuses to celebrate your love (and to shower your other half with flowers, jewelry or something fun they’ve been eyeing or didn’t know they always wanted) can do a lot for your relationship, so I’m all about embracing Valentine’s Day. Luckily, you have two weeks to shop and plan. If you’re looking for some help, here is my ultimate Valentine’s Day gift guide.
Mother in Law Gifts
I find any in-laws difficult to shop for honestly, but moms and mother in laws are especially tricky imo. Moms do so much and you want to find something special to let them know you appreciate them. But it’s hard…
My Favorite Holiday Host & Hostess Gifts

End of Year Teacher Gifts
It’s crazy to think that we’re already at the end of the school year. I feel like I was just searching for holiday gifts for my kids’ teachers. Charlotte’s school actually ends in mid May and while James is in…
Mother’s Day Gifts
Every mom deserves a vacation to a tropical island and a month of pampering for Mother’s Day this year. But since that’s probably not in the cards for most of us this Mother’s Day, even though really, it should be,…
First Birthday Gifts for Boys
Now that I am a second time boy mom, I’m getting pretty good at discerning the best toys for boys and which ones they really use and which one they don’t. And also which ones are dangerous weapons and which…
First Birthday Gifts for Girls
Charlotte turns one in just over a week, and I’m just starting to think about presents for her. I know, I’m so behind (and screwed considering nothing is shipping fast during Covid). Luckily, she’s only going to be one and…
Father’s Day Gift Ideas 2019
Now that we’re parents, I find Father’s Day to be especially fun. I love picking out a Father’s Day gift for Andrew and going out early to get his favorite breakfast treats in the morning. It’s fun to celebrate parenthood…
