We have playoffs and tournaments on the horizon so I have been stocking my mom bag with all the necessities. Sharing everything I carry with me and the equipment that keeps us comfortable as we travel from game to game. … [Read more...]

Ross and I went on a quick trip to Cabo last weekend for a dear friend’s wedding. I’ve only been to Mexico one other time when I was 15 and went to Cancun, so it was nice to travel somewhere I haven’t been before. I was blown away by the beauty Cabo and how friendly everyone was. We got absolutely perfect weather and it was fun to get dressed up. We know I love to wear some color, much to … [Read more...]

This top in an XL for an oversized fit I went to Target an obscene amount of times in the past 2 weeks for random necessities that always turns into me browsing every section of the store I have no business being in.. but alas, I came home with a number of things I thought I should share since they’re all so cute! … [Read more...]

dress // hat My friend Jenny and I meet up once a year for a girls trip (she lives in Chicago) and we’ve been discussing a Miraval destination for a few years. We figured this was the year we made this bucket list trip happen as a belated 40th birthday trip to ourselves ;) I had really high hopes for this trip and it did not disappoint in the slightest. I was able to truly unplug and … [Read more...]

Our weekends are go, go, go but I wouldn’t have it any other way! The boys play lacrosse, baseball and golf so we are jam packed from the second they get out of school on Friday to Sunday evening but I love nothing more than being at a field with them and watching them learn, grow and do something they love. We do find moments in between for some down time and socializing so here are some snaps … [Read more...]

My travel schedule is packed April - June and I refuse to show up to the airport without snacks packed. I made a list here of blood sugar stabilizing travel snacks, but today wanted to focus on easy, prepackaged, high protein snacks you can easily toss in your carry on or even keep in your car or purse. Yes, they are more processed, but it’s better than reaching for a lot of the other airport … [Read more...]

If you’re anything like me, it doesn’t take much to make me happy on Mother’s Day. Over the years, my wants and needs have changed for this day and now, I love nothing more than getting homemade gifts from my kids, spending Mother’s Day Tea with them at school and enjoying brunch on the weekend with a mimosa or two. I don’t want or need elaborate gifts; in fact, I just want quality time with my … [Read more...]

The girls’ big Christmas gift was a trip to Disneyland over spring break. This was their first time at Disney and they really did not know what exactly to expect, but were excited. I hadn’t been in YEARS and so much has changed, so I was anxious about the logistics and how it would all go. Overall, it was a success. It took us a second to get the hang of the app and lightening pass, but once … [Read more...]

The boys and I spent the last week in Florida for spring break and had the best time exploring the parks and getting in some much needed sun and family time. We did a day at Universal Studios and a day at the Disney parks (we hit them all thanks to a VIP tour) and the rest of the time spent our days by the pool hitting the water parks and hanging out. Sharing some snaps from our jam packed week … [Read more...]
