Once upon a time I was expecting my second child, a girl, dreaming about mother daughter date ideas. You see, my mom always made sure we spent special quality time together and I made that a priority with my son after he was born and then my daughter when she came along. That being said, there are certain activities that my baby girl enjoys more than her brother. Going out for a sweet treat is definitely one of them. Like her mama, my daughter has a bit of a sweet tooth, so I knew she...

Who wants some free printable emoji Valentine's Day cards?! I knew you would! I bet your kids are as obsessed with emojis as mine are right?! A couple years ago my son figured out how to text from his iPad and would interject his emoji heavy thoughts into my text threads because somehow my texts were connected to his tablet. Bwah!

Happy 2018! I don't know about you lovelies, but I, for one, am thrilled to say hello to a brand new year! 2017 definitely had its highs, but it also had its fair share of lows and I'm ready to take on a new year and embrace the fresh start it gives us.

I love what I do and I live for my family, so finding a healthy way for the two...
