Almond Butter Ice Cream Cakes

This recipe for almond butter ice cream cakes is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almondmilk, our very fave and a staple in the house. We’re going through a bit of a heat wave right now.

A comfy guest room with a small space

This post is sponsored by Leesa.  There’s quite a bit happening in our house right now! We’re moving a ton of baby items in from storage, shuffling things around, starting to baby-proof, and redecorating.

Preschool lunch ideas

This post is sponsored through my partnership with Bitsy’s Brainfood.  The smell of sharpened pencils, textbooks, and notebook paper is in the air. Back to school season has officially arrived! While I admit that there are days where I’m SO thankful for the hot lunch option, for the most part, I enjoy putting together Liv’s…

TRX Superset Workout

Hi friends! Happy humpday! Hope you’re enjoying the week. 🙂 I am DRAGGING today, which is totally my fault because I stayed up way too late reading this book. Source It’s perfectly scandalous and intriguing; everything an end-of-summer read should be. It’s also been some welcomed respite from the dry birth books I’ve been re-reading/skimming.…

the end of an era

Hi friends! How’s the day going? Hope you’ve been enjoying the morning!

apple pie of my eye

Hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend?  Liv and I went to a midwife appointment Friday morning, and then headed to our favorite post-appointment spot: Whole Foods. Green juice seems to taste better if you don’t have to clean the juicer afterwards. 😉  Our friend Lindy was in town for the weekend, so we…

Livi-isms

  “Mom, where are we driving?” “We’re going home.” “WRONG! We’re going to get an acai bowl!”   (After a feral cat ran away when she tried to pet it.) “Cats hate people. It’s their job to hate people.”   “Last night I had a dream I was being chased by a tiger. I was…
