A lifestyle blog focused on motherhood, marriage, and ministry! My journey as a work-from-home mom and entrepreneur, the wife of a youth pastor, and sharing my favorite things!
April was such a fun month - we surprised our kids with a new puppy and have been spending a lot of time in our backyard adding flowers, building raised garden beds and a new shed, and creating a fun stone/dirt digging pit for the kids.

Read MoreI feel like a broken record at this point - but with another month, came another round of sickness for my kiddos. It feels like it’s never going to end! But we also had a beautiful Easter weekend and celebrated Ainsley’s 2nd birthday with our family.

Read MoreGoodness, February sure was a doozy! My daughter was sick from an allergic reaction to an antibiotic that she was taking, and that week of symptoms felt like an entire month itself and then ended with both my daughter and my husband getting a stomach bug. So like I said… it was a doozy of a month! Despite feeling like half of the month had me down in a hole taking care of the kids, there were still some fun and sweet moments throughout February and a few favorite things that we really enjoyed!

Read MoreIt’s been a while since I’ve shared some of my favorite finds, but the start of a new year felt like a good time to jump back in! It feels like January was a never-ending month with the end of the holiday season, the super cold weather, several snow days, and a couple of rounds of sickness in our house. We also had our SUV parked out front of our house and it got hit by a police car (crazy story!), which resulted in it being a write-off from insurance and needing to do some car shopping. But it was also my birthday month and feels like we ended the month with a lot of really fun memories as a family.

Read MoreAugust was not an overly exciting month for us - I had surgery at the end of July and was required to be off my foot for nearly 4 weeks - almost the entirety of August, stuck at home or only short trips since I couldn’t walk a lot. But the end of August, when I was able to start walking around again, we visited the Baltimore Orioles for a day game, and the kids ended the month with some sickness - not fun!

Read MoreHow is it already the end of July?! The summer feels like it has completely flown by and I never got around to sharing my favorite things last month, so I’m rolling them all into one post for June & July - honestly, we had a lot of favorite things these past few months, that it was hard to narrow it down to just 12 - I easily could have done a separate post for each month! We had some new favorite finds from our beach vacation, a few new items for around our home (both indoors & outdoors), and must-haves for the kids.

Read MoreWhat a busy month we’ve had! We were surrounded by sickness for a lot of the month before and after Mother’s Day, but we still had some special family moments as well! We’ve been enjoying the warmer weather and spending time in our backyard, our front porch, and walks around the blocks near our house. A lot of these favorite finds will be reflected in the time we spent cleaning up around the house when we were sick, and the time we have been spending outside in the gorgeous summer weather!

Read MoreWith Amazon’s Prime Day and Target’s Deal Days both landing in July this year, it’s kind of like having Black Friday in the summer! I’m not an advocate for spending money that you don’t have, but if you have been holding out for specific items to go on sale, or want to shop really early for birthdays or holidays this year, now would be a great time to buy! You’ve likely seen all over the news that major retail stores like Target are slashing prices to help move overstock items from their stores ahead of the fall and holiday seasons. So I think we’re going to see some pretty major discounts all over this summer.
There are clearly going to be TONS of deals across Amazon and Target during these days, so I’m going to try my best to help showcase some of the best deals from both places - items that we have and love in our house or things that we have on wishlists!
