Our weekends don't look all that different from our M-F grind right now because we are mostly HOME. But I definitely know when Friday hits. My husband instantly relaxes after the work week and we don't have any time constraints with homeschooling or pick up and drop off with the little boys. It's our time to unwind, pour some wine, watch our shows, and let the boys stay up late playing with the … [Read more...]

H E A T H E R Half Baked Harvest Cookbook I was introduced to this cookbook by a friend of mine who is an excellent cook so I trusted her advice when she said I needed the Half Baked Harvest cookbook. While the recipes aren't the healthiest I've ever seen, it's really easy to swap out ingredients to make it healthier. Every recipe is SO flavorful and nothing is too over the top complicated … [Read more...]

I thought it would be fun to share a few random recent purchases that I'm loving with you guys today. Herschel Beanie I love this beanie because of the lavender color (comes in other colors) but it's not too girly...still has a tomboy feel to it. I'm living in beanies this winter because it's cold out and I don't have to do my hair if I wear one. Win win. Pillow Talk Blush I know I'm … [Read more...]

My family is a Nike fam. We don't stray. I'll be honest, I have tried to wear APL's and Adidas and while they look cute, they aren't as practical for my everyday workouts and lifestyle. Nike is IT for me and I have a whole lot of experience trying out different shoes for my workouts, walks, and everyday errands that I thought I'd share my review of each sneaker and why I love them. … [Read more...]

Cam turns 4 on Wednesday and I'm IN AGONY over it. My second boy is not a baby anymore.. like actually confirmed.. and very much a little boy with a mind of his own. Cammy is silly, quirky, passionate, freakishly good at video games, wants to be just like his brother in every sense, and requires little to no sleep.. more on that later. Since the day he was born, he's just been so different … [Read more...]

It may not be 2020 anymore, but I'm still living in loungewear...anyone else? Especially being pregnant, I'm finding myself still wanting to be in cozy loungewear while bumming around the house. I have high hopes for jeans making a comeback in 2022 ;) In the meantime I'll be wearing all the comfies. I also don't like spending a lot of $$ on loungewear and you don't have to with stores … [Read more...]

There are a few items I use on repeat and reorder over and over again. Some call it their "empties;" things you would rebuy if you ran out. Below are my top Amazon purchases from 2020 that top the list of my "empties." I would rebuy any of these items in a heartbeat if I used it all up or lost the actual item, which I hope never happens. Everything is budget friendly, one of the many reasons why … [Read more...]

I felt like this part of my home reveal was fitting seeing as it's a New Year and people are setting new goals and intentions for 2021. And while Alix and I are not into diet culture, the timing seemed right to share my home gym after receiving some questions about it over the past few weeks! So today I am linking everything we have and some athleisure pieces I love for all of my workouts. … [Read more...]

A L I X Get back in the kitchen: I honestly have not meal planned or cooked since early October. Now that I'm feeling better and the holidays are over, I'm looking forward to getting back in the kitchen. I'm so tired of take out or cereal for dinner. It's time to dust off my favorite cookbooks and meal plan for the week. I'm sure my husband will appreciate this too ;) Savor the season: … [Read more...]
