Dress from StyleWe No matter what stage of life I’m in, I’ve learned that there are 4 things I need to make time for in order to have the most successful day. Taking care of my body—For me this means getting ready and physical exercise. I may only brush my hair and put on chapstick, […]

Did you know you’re more likely to succeed with healthy eating goals when your fridge is clean and organized? 🙌 Yesterday I shared a picture of our fridge on IG and got a ton of messages asking how we keep it so organized. With 5 family members the refrigerator is hands down our most shared […]

Lew and I had the opportunity to take the little guys on a quick trip to California last week! Every time he and I visit, we fall more in love with the coastline and sunsets. We were so excited to take the boys & didn’t even mind that we had such a short timeline.  Here […]

The last time Lew and I visited Chicago we shut off our phones and purposely neglected to take many photos. It was nice having some time for ourselves to enjoy the city! We binged on the best cuisine, saw the  Tony award winning play-Hamilton, and enjoyed being tourists in such a historic downtown. We were also pleasantly […]

My parents came to town to watch the kids for us so Lew could fly me to NOLA for the first time to celebrate my 30th birthday! We met some of our best friends (who happen to be married) and had one of those good-for-your-soul kind of weekends. We were the first ones to arrive […]

Lew and I quickly fell in love with the lifestyle in Costa Rica. The slow pace, the sense of community and the feeling of being completely fed by nature puts this beautiful place at the top of my list of favorite trips. Between the adventure, candlelit dining, showers for two, balconies overlooking oceans & forests, […]

Cleaning after them, however is another story. Our playful Shihpoo, Otis, doesn’t shed much but he along with my […]

When Lew + I were in the process of finishing our basement we didn’t put much thought into what we’d use the extra closets for. Storage, more pantry space, another spot to stuff our junk are a few things I assumed would eventually happen. But as our family began to adapt a minimalist mindset, we […]

I wish I would’ve better documented the boys’ reactions when a garage full of holiday decorations arrived at our house. It was hilarious! London hugged me tight and said “Mommy! You and Daddy are so cool!! Do we get to open presents and eat cake now too??” Ha!   We spent the entire morning decorating […]

I can’t even remember how Lew and I decided on Cuba for his 30th birthday, but I’m so glad we did! It was such an eye opening experience. And a beautiful reminder of what it’s like to live without constant technology; to make plans in person and keep them, to ask people questions instead of […]
