As a homeschooling and traveling mama I spend A LOT of time with my kiddo. And when I say a lot I mean pretty much all day, just about every day. School year or summer, it’s all the same. She is my little sidekick. Generally, I love this and see it as a gift that…

What We’re Into This Week… Volume 23
What we’re reading… The Silent Patient This comes highly recommended by our contributor, Claire: “It’s really good. And I usually hate fiction. I’m listening to the book and the British accent really draws you in. I love how the beginning is sort of like a diary entry (I say sort of because she doesn’t want…
What We’re Into This Week {Volume 21}
What we’re obsessed with… If you follow along with our Instagram, you saw contributor Chelsea share some of her Aldi favs. And Aldi is our current obsession. If you are interested in cutting down your grocery bill, give Aldi a try for a week or two. I originally thought that I wouldn’t be able to…
More for Mom by Kristin Funston {Book Review}
Just a little over two years ago, I was working what I called “Full-Time+”. Meaning, I worked way more than 40 hours a week. I had two young children. They were two and three-years-old, to be exact; so, you know, of course, I was potty training too. We were in the process of packing and…

Mother’s Day Book Review: Mended, Restoring the Hearts of Mothers and Daughters
Growing up, my mother and I had a very close relationship. The type of relationship that other mother-daughter pairs envied and looked up to. She was my best friend, but not in the “let me buy alcohol for you and your friends” way. In the fact that she was there for me in all of…
What We’re Into This Week {Vol. 16}
What we’re reading… Amateur Hour by Kimberly Harrington. This is the perfect Mother’s Day gift for your mom, daughter, friend, or for yourself. Just like parenting, it combines the humor with the hurt. It made our Mom’s Summer Reading list, last year. I recently gifted this to a friend and she’s already given it her…

What We’re Into This Week… Vol. 11
What we’re reading… Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis I started listening to the newest book from Rachel Hollis, a kind of sequel to Girl, Wash Your Face (read our review here) earlier this week. While this book holds true to her sentiments in Girl, Wash Your Face, there’s definitely a less “kick ass” vibe…
