This little love.. truly one special baby who has captured all of our hearts.. and we've only known him for 5 months. I thought it was time to give an update on Mr. Parker because he has blossomed into a pretty cool dude and we are enjoying life with him so, so much. always naked.. cuz he soaks through 6 onesies a day. so. much. spit up. First, let's get to the sleep department because I … [Read more...]

Charcoal HYPE: This one makes me cringe when I see people drinking it. Put it ALL over your body if you want, but please don't put it INSIDE your body. It's touted as a way to "detox" but charcoal cannot identify the good vs. bad internally and will strip good nutrients from the body as well as so called "toxins". We have a liver that does a fantastic job of detoxifying so let's just let … [Read more...]

Jade roller | Rose Quartz roller Is there a difference between quartz and jade rollers? I didn't know the answer to this so I decided to find out for all of us. You're welcome.. cuz I know you're confused too. By now you have probably heard of this magical thing called facial rolling. Facial massage has captivated the beauty and skin care community for so many reasons. It is getting some … [Read more...]

Heather: Quay Studded Sunglasses I asked my husband if he liked my sunglasses and his response was, "I mean they have studs all around them." Thank you CAPTAIN OBVIOUS! Precisely why I love them. I like to think I have pretty versatile style.. but most days I am minimalistic in my clothing. Think jeans, a neutral color top, jean or leather jacket and flats. Hence why I like to spice it … [Read more...]

Is there anything better then getting a package filled with new clothes in the mail?! I used to get Stitch Fix boxes for myself all the time and absolutely loved them. Some of my favorite clothing pieces came from those boxes and they are mostly items I wouldn't typically pick out for myself. However, when I first heard about a similar type of service for kids I initially dismissed it … [Read more...]

Two is cool. Said no one ever ;) Let me start by saying that I don't intend to beat myself up in this post. I know I'm a good mom and doing the best I can.. just like all of you. I also know that every kid is different, evidence is right there with my three, and playing the comparison game is a dangerous one.. especially with your own children. And that's exactly why I think we have struggled … [Read more...]

Honestly, I decided to tackle this topic for personal reasons as I have always been a little confused by all of the different acids in my skincare products and what AHA and BHA really means. Back in the day, if someone told you to put acid on your skin, you'd run the other way and tell them they're bat sh*t crazy. Ok, psycho killer. Now, acid is a buzz word in skincare and we're all trying to … [Read more...]

Happy first day of Spring! The temps are rising in Seattle and you can just feel everyone's energy lifting in the city! Spring in the PNW is the best. I personally think it's really fun to add a couple of new pieces to your closet at the start of a new season, so I figured I'd share what I've been eying on with you guys today! My birthday is also coming up, so hopefully my husband is reading … [Read more...]
