10 years ago I had never been to a hog roast. In fact, I probably would've cringed at the idea of eating a smoked pig. Now it's part of one of my favorite weekends of the year...and I actually think the pork is delicious. If you've been following along for awhile, you probably know about the big party my in-laws throw on Memorial Day weekend (see here, here and here). It's called the "Fat Hog 500" and includes a pig, a beer truck, a red barn...and lots of great family and friends. I'll use ...
Winner Winner
Okay, make that winners! I didn't want our wonderful Memorial Day weekend to end, but knowing that I got to share the winners of the Royal Style giveaway series today made it a little bit easier. First of all, I just want to say a HUGE gigantic thank you to the three local businesses that made this all possible. It's been so much fun teaming up with Nickel & Suede, LocalE., and Hazel & Ollie...and I have to say, I think the giveaway was good luck for our Royals ;) So without ...

When your kids beg for powdered donuts after dance class, but there's nowhere to eat in the donut shop...you make the messy one a shopping bag bib, ...
Royal Style Giveaway Series
You guys! It's time! I've been crazy excited about this giveaway series for weeks now...and today it's finally starting! If you live in the Kansas City area or have roots here--chances are you're a Royals fan. The last couple of years this city has been overflowing with pride for the boys in blue (hello, World Champs!)...and it's been amazing to see the pride that's created for Kansas City in general too. We love our city and our team--and we love to show it! That's why I'm so excited to be ...
Baby’s Guide to a Great Night’s Sleep
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #EveryoneSleeps #CollectiveBias Sleep. It used to be just a part of my everyday routine. That time between the end of one day and the start of the next. Now that I'm a mom though--those precious hours in dreamland are something I treasure. Because I'm not far removed from my days of baby sleep deprivation (which this video sums up well), I know better than to take a full night's rest for ...
