“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” - Maya Angelou | I am so grateful to have grown up in a creative home. While I’m sure my parents noticed creativity in me from an early age, I also know that they made it a priority for me too. I did dance lessons, art lessons and music lessons most of my childhood….

Not long after Sunny was born and my life felt crazy for a variety of reasons, I was looking for ways to simplify my life even more. I just needed to make fewer "in the moment" decisions every day because my brain and heart were at full capacity! One of the ways I did that was by ordering my groceries online…

You can download the kid's Nature Scavenger Hunt freebie HERE. Print it out and go for a walk with your kids! You can either aim to collect all of these things, or simply see them in nature and point them out.

Yup. You read that right. I am in the process of throwing away all of my makeup. Item by item I'm tossing into the trash and here's why -- I am finally making the switch to clean. But let me back up a little bit first...

About six months ago, I decided to stop taking my phone upstairs with me after dinner while I do baths and bedtime. In doing so, I was able to start new rhythms for myself during this time. They're super simple, and things you might already be thinking, "I should do that more often!"

I have rounded up my current 16 bath and beauty product favorites for you, because I know that when it comes to trying something new recommendations can go a long way!

I was praying to my "genie-Jesus" begging for everyone else to make adjustments, and change, and wear their big girl pants (literally), but not asking for actual help, joy, or strength for myself. "Hey everyone else! Feelings update: you change, cause I'm too tired too. Ok? Cool thanks bye."

And THAT my friends is how motherhood feels somedays, because by 2pm there was sand in my sheets, yogurt on June's bed, frozen corn thawing in my trunk, and an explosion of laundry everywhere. BUT WE ATE SALADS FOR LUNCH, GOSH DARNIT, AND I CONSIDER THAT A SUCCESSFUL DAY.

Sunny is such a delight. She's looking more and more like June everyday, yet the two of them are almost nothing a like as babies.

I’m pretty proud of myself for being realistic and not staying up late to make unicorn cupcakes or a giant balloon arch. When my Mom asked what the party theme was, I said "sprinkles, sparkles and whatever else is in my basement." 

June and I got to tag along to Tiny Town for my niece Pearl's 2nd Birthday last week, and although I'd seen pictures of Tiny Town online, we'd never been! It was as cute as you’d think it’d be.

To be honest, I don't think I could count on two hands the amount of Munchkin products we have in our house! Wipe warmer, cups, baby gates, utensils, training potty, snack grabbers, car gadgets, and endless bath toys...

Does anyone else feel like a total crazy person when you have to be inside all day with a toddler!?!? There's no way it's just me, right?…
