I LOVE the holidays, but this year is obviously different (blame it on the shitshow that 2020 has been). I think we all could use a little fun, a lotta holiday cheer, and to put our stressors on pause, even if it's just for a short time.
Every year since I was a tiny tot, my family has done...
Face masks as holiday gifts. It’s a thing. Definitely would not have predicted this trend a year ago, but right now I am TOTALLY all-in! It's so incredibly important we mask up, so let’s at least wear ones we adore and feel good in (that are also effective), and let's gift the masks that we adore and feel good...
If there's one thing we love about this job of ours, it's that this blog has developed a strong sense of community. Y'all help us find the best sales (looking at you, Facebook Insiders), suggest pieces to replace old faithfuls in our closets, and share the weird and wild stories of motherhood (or life) that make us laugh, knowing...

If you’re looking for the quick and easy answer…my whole family reaches for THIS face mask the most. It comes in a smaller kid size (adjustable) that my boys love as well (ages 7 and 12).
It’s really not that quick and easy, though. Many of you know how I get a little obsessed with finding the best of everything,...
It's so much easier and less stressful to get out the door when all the things we need to leave the house are on hooks, right by the door. Especially in a rush.
Welcome to 2020 where -- Do you have a mask? has seemingly replaced -- Did you use the bathroom? Do you have your schoolbag? Do you have...
I see people gathering. I see some of them, in masks, (scroll down deep for all my current favorite masks) trying their best to allow kids and adults alike a little physically distanced-outdoor-safe time with friends and family, for the sake of love and sanity. I see them on patios and porches, in parks and backyards. And I see...
Since we're all wearing them anyway, why not make it fashion? Obviously others agree, because there's no shortage of really cute face masks on the market right now. So here are 10 fun ones that will definitely keep your spirits high (and maybe even...top off an outfit, who knows?). Cheers to being responsible and cuuuuute.
