I'm feelin' the love, y'all... so Baby Girl and I are wearing our matching heart sweaters and hitting the town for a little mommy-daughter fun day. (Don't worry, we'll bundle up and cover our hearts! Brrrrr!) I've moved out of the diaper bag phase (for the most part) now that P ...read more
If there is one thing my kiddos don't love, it's the cold. They're Florida babies through and through, so they don't typically have to deal with too many months of cold weather, but this year we had a couple of trips that meant they got to experience some temps they aren't quite ...read more
October is a breath of fresh air... Crisp, cool, invigorating air. Chilly snuggle-up-in-pajamas air. Really, though, I love everything the month ushers in—pumpkin-spice lattés, colorful foliage, chunky sweaters, and picturesque seasonal scenes... And Halloween, of course! As ...read more

Be still my heart... These two. Could they be more adorable? (I think not!) My muppet-babies slay me with their pure innocent sweetness. Every. Single. Day. Not that they're always cherubic angels. Believe you me, I get my fair share of one-year-old Little-Miss-Independent ...read more

We love a good diaper bag at Momtrends, and this gorgeous piece of arm-candy from Rebecca Minkoff and The Honest Company most definitely takes the cake. It's got everything we need: style, color, lots of room, and, of course, loads of practical pocket for bottles, diapers, and ...read more
Two weeks after my first child was born, I went to my trusty salon stylist and requested the ultimate cliche: a bob. I wanted my hair short, blunt, and fuss-free. Truth was: It was a small miracle I managed to brush my teeth most mornings. But my hair? Um, so not a priority. I ...read more
I have had a lot of fun shopping with my middle daughter for her Back to School looks and she is all set and ready to go. Shopping for my son has proven to be a bit of a different story. It is something that moms of boys often discuss..."Where do you shop for your son?!" We all ...read more

If your kids are anything like mine they are Minions maniacs! Ever since Despicable Me came out, we've had to buy a shocking amount of bananas. Haha! So we, of course, had to go see the Minions movie as soon as it came out. I have to admit, they didn't exactly have to drag the ...read more
I’m going to admit something that usually earns me some enemies... I don’t like South Beach. Sorry, Miami gals, it’s nothing personal! It’s just that, well, you’re way to fab for me. You ladies can stay up late and party hardy and wear neon crop tops and rock beach hair and ...read more
During the hot summer months, I pretty much wear one of three uniforms every day. It's either: 1. denim shorts with a cute top 2. a breathable cotton dress or 3. a bathing suit and coverup. No matter which of these versatile options I choose, one accessory remains a constant—and ...read more

My friend used to joke that once she became a mother she stopped noticing other women’s engagement rings and started admiring their strollers instead… Stylish mamas love their Stokkes and their Bugabos and their Quinnys and their fancy-schmancy three-wheeled joggers. We treat our ...read more
Like most energetic toddlers, my almost three year old is obsessed with "the playground." And it doesn't seem to matter if we're talking about an amazing fully tricked out "adventure land" or one measly tire swing and a mini slide... My guy doesn't discriminate. A playground is a ...read more
These days my five-month-old little lady rocks a bib morning, noon, and night. It's her signature piece and an absolute must have... (Can you say "teething?") She's a drool machine, and I'm over changing spit-soaked onesies every hour on the hour. And, so... bibs! (According to ...read more
You better believe that come July 4th, my entire family will be in head-to-toe red, white, and blue outfits. We're patriotic people, and I love a good excuse to coordinate ensembles. (I defy anyone who says "matchy-matchy" is a bad thing.) Until then, I'm slowly starting to ...read more
