5 Ruggable Rugs We Have & Love

5 Ruggable Rugs We Have & Love

I haven’t done a very good job of sharing our home decor after our renovation, but I want to start sharing more. Today, I’m sharing 5 Ruggable rugs we have in our home and love! I’ve had Ruggable rugs for years, and love how easy they are for life with kids. They’re machine washable, but also really easy to spot clean when there’s an (inevitable) stain or spill. We had a few rugs in our home pre-renovation, but I’ve been BLOWN AWAY by the improved quality and designs more recently. When we moved back in, I knew Ruggable would be a great fit for several […]

Daisy’s First Daisy-Inspired Birthday Party

Daisy’s First Daisy-Inspired Birthday Party

Can you believe our Daisy girl is ONE!? Wasn’t it just yesterday that she was born and joined our family? Here’s her birth story if you’re into that kind of thing! This past weekend, we hosted a little 1st birthday celebration for her with family and close friends! I wasn’t going to do a big party at first – it feels like most of the kids we know are older and we know everyone is busy. But then I  quickly realized – this brings me so much joy to do! I  didn’t get to do a first birthday party with Winnie (outside of family) and […]

Bath & Cotswolds with Kids: English Countryside Itinerary & Travel Guide

Bath and the Cotswolds! This was the second leg of our epic two-week UK and Ireland adventure, and honestly, it was a great change of pace after our busy London days.

Kid-Friendly London Itinerary & Travel Guide

Kid-Friendly London Itinerary & Travel Guide

London! We started our family summer European adventures in London. As a quick refresher, we spent two weeks this July in the UK and Ireland. Nashville Airport (BNA) recently added more nonstop international flights (yay!) which made this trip possible – we’ve never gotten to fly direct to Europe from Nashville before! This wasn’t my first time in London (E and I went in 2016 – blog post here – and 2019), but experiencing it as a family of five was completely different and so special! The girls were absolutely enchanted by everything – from the red phone boxes to the palace guards to Platform […]

Kid-Friendly Ireland Itinerary & Travel Guide

Kid-Friendly Ireland Itinerary & Travel Guide

We recently did a two week trip to the UK and Ireland with our three kids (ages 7, 5, and 9 months)! While this wasn’t our first international trip with all three (we went to Aruba for spring break), it definitely felt like a more complex one! We were gone for 14 days between four different destinations and did a LOT of on-the-go adventuring: three flights, a train ride, two different rental cars, several double decker bus and subway rides and quite a few long travel days. We were in the UK for the first part of the trip and Ireland for the second part, […]
