Travel Adventures: Hocking Hills

Travel Adventures: Hocking Hills

We recently drove up to Ohio for my sister’s Ohio wedding reception and then did a few days as a family in Hocking Hills. I can’t believe this was my first time there, especially given I went to college only thirty minutes away. Located about an hour outside of Columbus in southeast Ohio, the Hocking Hills area is home to Hocking Hills State Park, as well as several lakes and nature preserves. It was such a beautiful, peaceful place to visit, especially if you like the outdoors, and it was very family-friendly. Here’s how we spent our recent visit! We will absolutely be back! HIKING […]

25+ Cute Cooler Recommendations for Summer

25+ Cute Cooler Recommendations for Summer

Hi friends! A few weeks ago, I  was on the hunt for a cute cooler for this summer! I know I’ll be out and about with the girls a bunch, and want a cooler that is easy to carry, ideally tote style, isn’t too small but isn’t TOO big, and is cute. 💛 Per usual, I asked my IG followers and received SO many good recommendations and wanted to share them with you! Some of the recommendations look and sound amazing, but aren’t exactly what *I* am looking for right now, but still wanted to share since I  know everyone needs and preferences vary! For […]

We knew we wanted to throw a special party for her for her fifth birthday – it’s a big one, plus all of her other birthday parties have been small and/or shared parties with Lucy.

My baby hates being in the car. Here’s the advice y’all gave me 🩵

My baby hates being in the car. Here’s the advice y’all gave me 🩵

Can you believe Daisy will be turning FIVE MONTHS OLD later this month? Where does time go? She has been such a joy and delight to our family and is such a chill, laid-back, and generally happy little gal. The literal only time she *isn’t* happy is in the car seat. And the thing is, especially when you’re baby #3 and have two big sisters who have places to be… you are going to spend a good amount of time in the car. 🙈 It’s hard to avoid car time in this current season of our life! Anyway, pretty early on in her life we […]

Lucy’s Sleep Under Birthday Party

Lucy’s Sleep Under Birthday Party

Hi friends! First of all…how do I have a SEVEN-year-old!? It feels like just yesterday Lucy was born, but here we are now – celebrating her 7th birthday! This year, we decided to do a more ‘low-key’ birthday party for Lucy. But…it ended up being not so low-key after all. ✨🙈 I AM WHO I AM. Getting lost in the tiny details, getting to be creative, and putting together a memorable gathering for my girls is something that brings me a lot of joy and this party was no exception. Lucy wanted a ‘big girl’ birthday party and we came up with the idea to […]
