Does anyone else remember Clearly Canadian? Because I remember loving them and THEY'RE BACK! We're not close to a HY-VEE but I'll definitely be looking at World Market for them. We (read: Tyler) installed a patio a few weeks ago so we spent a large portion of our Memorial Day getting everything set up. It was a labor of love (mostly on Tyler's part) but it's done and its gorgeous! We're looking forward to spending lots of time out there this summer. Also related, we bought all of our new ...
Let’s Talk Tuesday #6
Gluten Free Blueberry Banana Blender Muffins
Healthy and delicious, these Gluten Free Blueberry Banana Blender Muffins are easy to meal prep and make the perfect grab-n-go breakfast for busy mornings. Happy Friday Eve! I hope everyone's week has been going well heading into the long, holiday weekend! I know I personally cannot wait for an extra day off! Even though I know the weekend is near and I can sleep in a bit (Ha! Just kidding, I have a baby but a girl can dream.), I still find myself hitting snooze on weekday mornings ...
Let’s Talk Tuesday
I partnered with PinkBlush again and this dress is ah-mazing! Super cute, comfortable and, best of all, affordable! They have both maternity and non-maternity clothes so definitely check them out! Can some please explain to me why the RompHim is a thing? Please tell me this is just a joke. I don't know what I'd do if I actually saw a guy wearing one in public... A BED THAT MAKES ITSELF? I could have used this all those years I had to make my bed growing up when my Mom made me do it...or ...
Living with Ulcerative Colitis
Something I have felt compelled to share with y'all is my journey with Ulcerative Colitis (UC). I mentioned it briefly in my About Page but have recently begun having more issues. Given that I'm sharing my life with you all, I felt it best to be fully transparent about what I'm going through. Being that today is World IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) Day, it only felt appropriate for today to be the day that I share with you my story. I will start by saying that this post will be very ...
Liam – 8 month check-in
Today our sweet angel of a baby boy turns 8 months old. I have no idea how he has gotten so big but I'd really appreciate it if time would slow down. At night, when I put him to bed, I find myself holding him a little longer, taking in his sweet face as he rests his head on my shoulder while he drifts to sleep. Before I know it he won't want to snuggle with me so I'm savoring everything I can before he's saying, "Ew Mom! Don't kiss me in front of my friends!" Guh, I dread that day. New this ...
Let’s Talk Tuesday
Happy Tuesday folks! I hope everyone had a nice weekend and that all the momma's out there had a wonderful, relaxing Mother's Day! Tyler and Liam spoiled me and got me flowers, a "Bless this Mess" hat (perfect, right?) and the Ugg slippers I mentioned in my Mother's Day Gift Guide. I guess someone has been reading the blog. :) They also went and got Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Clearly they know the way to my heart! We spent the morning relaxing and catching up on DVR'd shows while Liam ...
