When Crayola Experience asked to partner with me to write a blog post, I quickly said yes because we love it so much and hadn’t been in quite a few months. Besides […]
This is a sponsored post. Ahh– the carseat. It keeps our littles safe, but when it comes to logistics, sometimes you need a simpler, portable option. BubbleBum is a cost-effective, portable, lightweight, inflatable car booster seat for children ages 4-11. It easily deflates and folds flat so that kids or parents can carry it in backpacks or handbags. BubbleBum […]

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper, but all opinions are my own. With four wins, two night games (more of those please!), and a rockin’ team, the Gator football season is off to a thrilling start. We love the Swamp atmosphere and showing our Gators Pride. We wear orange and blue pretty much Friday through Sunday in the fall, […]
In honor of Game Day, I thought I’d share some cool, recent Gator finds! Hair accessories from Could You Be Any Cuter? You may have seen this one on my Instagram, but here it is again. These made us stop in our tracks as we walked to the game last weekend. She had a little table set […]
How is she 3?! I planned this party so far ahead of time because I knew I’d be recovering from giving birth. And yes, less than 3 weeks from giving birth, here I was hosting a bustling birthday party for 30 people. But it’s what I love to do! This post contains affiliate links. All […]

You can choose antique gold or silver. Check these designs out below that […]

To celebrate our anniversary and Lily’s 2nd birthday, we decided to take our first Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Dream! We took a 5 day/4 night cruise to the Bahamas in March. I know I’m a little late in posting, but being pregnant in the first trimester with #2 will do that to you! There […]
