If you (and/or your kids) are looking for something fun to do that doesn't involve screens or playing outside in the freezing temps, I've got a really good excuse to make some delicious comfort treats: Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day Treats Made With Love
It's basically one of the best reasons to treat yo' self and your kids/parents/neighbors...or really anyone who could...
Anyone else ready to kiss 2020 goodbye from right behind a glitter sparkle mask?
Truth be told, NYE has never been a favorite of mine. It just doesn't coordinate well with my 9pm bedtime. New Year's Day Brunch and a Big Parade...now that is my idea of fun! Oh how I do love a good mimosa, a big brunch,...
For a holiday season that's — most likely — going to be spent in our own homes, a bar cart could really make things feel more fun and festive. (And I'm not just talking about a classic cocktails-and-spirits-filled bar cart here... stay tuned.)

A huge thank you to Our Place for sponsoring this post.
We decided to host both our parents for Thanksgiving this year. It wasn't a decision we made lightly. In any other year, we'd ping pong from my mom's house for lunch to my grandparents' house for dinner to Chris' family's house for second dinner -- maybe even to my...
I'm working on the assumption that we've all seen the amazing (hold the click***warning, adult language) There's Some Chores In This House video. Yes? So worth it if you can just put your comfy earbuds on and listen without the kids knowing why you are laughing hard enough to pee your cute mom pants (did we all see...
The idea of someone tearing open pretty wrapping paper (then hastily chucking the gorgeous stuff into the trash) kinda hurts my heart a little, especially when a more sustainable approach isn't that hard. It's very possible to be sustainable (and even waste-free) during the holiday season, and still have beautifully wrapped presents.

Cozy times with friends are going to be oh-so-important this winter, but also tricky with all that's going on.
I'm feeling like porch hangs where we're all bundled up (comforter coat, anyone?) and sipping something warm (from this great mug) are going to be the godsend of winter. We can be social but still safe. It'll be like the...
I don't actually eat the S'mores. I just love to sit on mom-chair duty, with the graham crackers on one side of me and the chocolate on my lap, working on production, and seeing the kids' sweet faces and the joy that comes of perfectly melting a marshmallow.
