5 Fall Fitness Must Haves

Fall Fitness Must Haves

I’m not a fan of working out, like at all, but with all the baby (and pizza and snack and I could go on and on) weight that’s still sticking around 3 years later. I knew it was time to do something. Trying to find the time to join a gym just isn’t working for me right now and my schedule but one thing I can do is walking. My goal is to get up to running at some point but an old knee injury has me taking things slow. Lucky for me we have an amazing park right by my house that the kids love to go hiking in and I love to go for walks at. Most of the time, I combine the two together and it gets the kids out of the house and me my much needed exercise. I didn’t even own exercise clothes until a few weeks ago when this amazing package showed up on my door from C9 by Champion® with some pretty amazing workout clothes.  [Read more…] about 5 Fall Fitness Must Haves

Make This Holiday “One Big Happy Wonderland”

Make This Holiday Season "One Big Happy Wonderland"

The holidays are my favorite time of year.  I look forward to decorating, Christmas shopping, our annual cookie baking party and so much more.  This year the holidays are even more special since it’s the first year my little one is really excited for Christmas. When she sees the holiday lights throughout the neighborhood she squeals with delight. Last weekend we put our Christmas tree up and she was so excited and happy to see it all light up. One of our holiday traditions is to decorate the tree together the day after Thanksgiving and every year, the kids get their own holiday ornament that represents something that they did or they experienced that year.  My oldest waits for his new ornament every year and this year, even my little one couldn’t wait to hang hers on the tree. Watching the excitement through Evie’s eyes brings a whole new meaning to the holidays. This year, we’re excited to make this holiday one big happy wonderland and create even more fun, family traditions. [Read more…] about Make This Holiday “One Big Happy Wonderland”

Shopping The Mills at Jersey Gardens

The Mills at Jersey Gardens

When it comes time for clothes shopping for my family, it usually involves a trip to the mall and at least four other stores to get everything we need. With my tween wearing men’s sizes now, gone are the days I could hit one store and get clothes for the both of the kids. One of my favorite malls to shop at here in New Jersey is The Mills at Jersey Gardens. My sister-in-law first introduced me to the mall a few years ago and I was hooked. I can shop all our favorite stores in one location without having to drive all over visiting different stores. Since the mall is about a 40 minute ride from my house, I usually plan on making a day of it. We’ll usually head up early in the day, stay for lunch and usually finish shopping in the afternoon. It’s a pretty big mall so, I have a few tips to make your next trip to the mall as smooth as possible.  [Read more…] about Shopping The Mills at Jersey Gardens

Finding Dory Tutu Dress Tutorial

finding-dory-dress-tutorial

We may be a tad bit excited for Finding Dory, releasing in theaters June 17th. Finding Nemo is one of our favorite family movies and we just can’t wait to see the new movie and see what Dory and the gang are up to. Leading up to the release, I’ll be sharing plenty of fun Finding Dory inspired posts including recipes, activity sheets and more. To kick off my Dory marathon, I wanted to share this DIY Dory Inspired Tutu Dress. My tutu obsession started the minute I found out I was having a little girl. After shopping for boy clothes for over ten years, I was ready for all things frilly and pink. When I learned how easy it was to create tutus for my daughter, I started and just can’t stop. To celebrate the release of the movie, I made her this Finding Dory Tutu Dress  inspired by our favorite blue fish and I love how it turned out. [Read more…] about Finding Dory Tutu Dress Tutorial
