Why You Need a Home Decorator - On a Budget!

Why You Need a Home Decorator – On a Budget!

Y’all I can’t lie. I don’t have a coordinating bone in my body. I don’t piece together outfits; I shop outfits on mannequins. I don’t throw amazing food together for meals; I follow recipes. And when it comes to my home, I have a hard time feeling settled because my rooms are rarely decorated to the point of feeling “complete.”

Or more accurately, they just lack decor. Period.

For years I have…

Why I Chose to Stop Breastfeeding

If you remember from my nursing days with Aren, I loved breastfeeding her. I put off weaning as long as I could because it was truly enjoyable for both of us, even with some immense difficulties along the way. I was sad when we finally stopped after 17 months.

This time, things were very different.

With Rowen, nursing wasn’t as difficult in the beginning. He had a tongue tie identified and…

Life with Four Kids

I was scrolling through my Facebook memories yesterday and I saw an old status that said, “I don’t know how moms of 2+ kids do it. I’m struggling with just the two I have!”

And yet, here I am with four kids. What in the world was I thinking??

I can’t even tell you what a typical day is like because they are all so different. Some of them are amazing and I go to bed at night with a smile on my…

Fostering Child Development Through Dress-Up Play

This post is sponsored by Guidecraft, but all opinions are my own.

Fairies. Dragons. Princesses. Firefighters. No matter what a kid chooses for dress-up, their imaginations can run wild. And it isn’t just for fun either! Playing dress-up is beneficial to child development in a variety of ways.

Kids learn new vocabulary when they dress up as different characters. Doctors have stethoscopes and…

Sleeping Like a Baby with the Newton Crib Mattress

This post is sponsored by Newton Baby, but all opinions and cute baby photos are my own.

There are many ways life is different by the time the fourth kid comes along: laundry piles start resembling the Rocky Mountains, the 5 second rule becomes the 10 second rule, and sangriadefinitely becomes accepted as a fruit salad (same for gummy fruit snacks). What doesn’t change, however, is the anxiety…

How We Cosleep with DockATot

I received product compliments of DockATot, but all opinions are my own. This post may contain affiliate links at no additional cost to you, but helps support my blog.

“I’m never going to let my kids sleep in my bed.” -Me, circa 2001

Isn’t it funny how we say things as a new parent, only to eat those words later? I swore I would never cosleep, because I had heard horror stories about kids who…

Rowen's Birth Story

Rowen’s Birth Story

He’s finally here! Rowen Gilbert Seghetti was born on June 25th at 4:08 PM, and came into the world as noisily as possible. After a very eventful and emotional pregnancy, we were happy to finally have him in our arms. Here’s how it happened.

We scheduled his induction due to worries about size since he was measuring about 2 weeks ahead. His stats were in the 90th percentile according to…

20 Minute Stroller Workout for Moms

Here I am at the end of my pregnancy (38 weeks tomorrow, whoop whoop!!) and I am trying my best to stay active! Some of you may remember from my pregnancy with Aren, my body just doesn’t respond very well to all of the changes and hormones that pregnancy brings. Exercise gets really difficult for me, which is a bummer because fitness is a HUGE part of my life! But I’ve figured out how to make it…

Celebrating Small Wins

This post is sponsored by thinkThin, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Moms can all agree on one thing: being a mom is a tough job! We have so much to do each day. Shuttling kids, doing laundry, washing dishes, planning meals… If we wrote out a to-do list, it would be a mile long! That’s why I’ve decided to start celebrating small wins each day. I deserve it!

Shopping for Prom with Amazon Teen – Our Amazing Experience

This post is sponsored by Amazon but all opinions are my own.

The day has finally arrived – my oldest daughter is going to her first prom. I can’t believe she’s old enough for this! I think many parents can relate to the mixture of emotions I’m feeling: excitement, nervousness, nostalgia. But above all, I want this to be a happy and memorable experience for her. Which is why I wanted to make sure…

Spring Cleaning in Just 28 Days!

This post is sponsored by Albertsons Companies, but all opinions are my own. It’s that time of year! The weather is beginning to warm up, the windows are open, and it’s time for spring cleaning! I can’t say I enjoy cleaning, but there’s something about spring that makes me want to clean EVERYTHING. I love the fresh smells, the bright light, and the reduction of clutter.

What helps me the most is…

May the Fourth Themed Snacks

In my house, I don’t even have a choice whether or not I am a Star Wars fan. My husband loves it, my kids love it, and so I HAVE to love it. (Or at least pretend to like it.) And because I love my family so much, I participate in all of the fun – including May the Fourth! Last year I started making themed snacks for their little “holiday” and they loved it! Here is our list of favorites; and may…

IncrediBundles Diaper Subscription – The Perfect Baby Shower Gift!

This post is sponsored by IncrediBundles, but all opinions are my own.

I can’t even count how many baby showers I have been to in my life (including showers that were thrown for me!) and it seems that everyone struggles to find that “perfect” gift. When Hunter was born, I received more than one duplicate outfit. I’ve been given toys that my kids refused to play with. We received books that we…

Make Money Blogging: Top Agencies for Influencers and Bloggers

If someone had told me when I started my blog five years ago that I could make a decent income as a blogger, things might look a little different today. Then again, they would’ve had to tell me HOW to make money blogging. I first dipped my toes into paid influencer and blogging gigs a couple of years ago, but I still didn’t know much about it. It wasn’t until last year when I learned about some…

DIY Woodland Baby Nursery

With only 12 weeks (give or take) left of this pregnancy, I decided it was time to finish the nursery! As I’ve mentioned before, we wanted to go with a woodland theme this time. I love Aren’s mountain theme nursery, and I wanted to have fun painting again! I looked through Pinterest for some ideas, and I found some inspiration. Unfortunately, I didn’t find ANYTHING that told me step-by-step what…
