I started using essential oils about 6 months ago and haven't looked back since. I can honestly say we are a healthier crew because of them--and I feel more equipped as a mom when health-related issues arise. We've still had our fair share of sickies the last 6 months, but our number of trips to the doctor have gone down dramatically because I now have the ability to try something on my own before rushing everyone to urgent care. And even though I love our pediatrician and our family ...
Hooray It’s Opening Day!
As I write this, Chris and I are sitting on the screened-in porch, fire on, watching the Royals beat play the Mets. Although I don't claim to be the world's biggest baseball fan, this team has won my heart over the last couple years. Like the rest of Kansas City, I'm invested in these guys...and I'm SO happy they're back! I always say that Kansas City got really cool while we were away in Texas...but honestly, this team has taken it to a whole new level. The pride people have for KC is ...

Spring Cleaning Hacks + a Giveaway
It's almost April and I'm still moving at a snail's pace through my spring cleaning list. Anyone else forgotten about the window cleaning? Well rather than taking the time to actually clean or organize an area in my house (ha!), last weekend I decided to browse the web for hacks that might motivate me in the spring cleaning department. I found so many great ideas that I thought I'd share a handful of them here today. Because who doesn't like to make cleaning simpler?! Cleaning in the house ...
Easter Blessings
We had a family-filled Easter weekend, and I have to say, it was pretty great. Here are some of the highlights... 1. This handsome bunny melted my heart in his Easter best. Seriously though...bowties and suspenders are everything. 2. We were running behind on Saturday (typical...), but I knew I needed to get a pic of these two before we headed to our church's Easter egg hunt and service. Let me just say, it was worth being a little late :) 3. So Nash is not really into "hunting" for ...
