July feels like the most care-free month, doesn’t it? It starts with a holiday, probably my favorite holiday! We always travel to Port Austin, a little tourist town on Lake Huron. My family has a house there, just a short walk from the lake. It’s a place that has so many core memories and nostalgia tied to it, but also a place that I can actually relax.

May, one of my favorite times of year. The weather is finally turning and we are celebrating, graduations, and moms! While I do love the gift of brunch and a massage, sometimes you ned something wrapped. We are sharing 10 items to make mom’s day a little brighter.

Built in bunk beds was an exciting and challenging project I had my sights on for awhile. I looked at a lot of tutorials online and patched together the plan that I thought would work best for my family - twin over queen - and my aesthetic. This isn’t really a step-by-step tutorial, but more of an overview of what I used and how I assembled the pieces. I also shared lots of details on an instagram highlight.

I knew baby #3, wasn’t going to have too many new things, but then we found out that it’s another boy, even less to buy. This little guy is not getting one new piece of furniture for his nursery, except for a DIY table I have planned. After planning two boy nurseries and knowing that this time around I’m working with what I’ve got, I was fresh out of ideas.

My first gift guide this season is for the curious and creative kid! Of course my kids have a list full of items from big box stores, with commercial characters, but I like to supplement those wishlists with toys and games that evoke curiosity and creativity. I poked around some of my favorite shops for some surprise, out of the box ideas for the kiddos.

Shopping for a kid’s bath? I got you. I’ve been wanting to do a round up of places to shop for a bathmat for quite some time. For a kids bath I need a true bath mat, something washable, with the non-slip grips, that can take a beating, get wet and is also comfy enough to kneel on to give the kids a bath. I rounded up 12 super fun and playful mats that would be perfect in a kid’s bath. Then I took it a step further and found you some complimentary shower curtains.

Big Sur - the cliffs, the beaches, the redwoods and the purple sand - has been on my bucket list for some time. For our first big trip as a family of four, we were lucky enough to see it with our own eyes and even luckier to have our adventure captured by Shylah Lynn.
