It’s The Blog!

You’ve found it, my place of helpful guides, creative expression, silly stories, cute kid pictures and genuine recommendations. I live a balanced and busy life working from home, and sharing the joys I experience every day with my beloved minis! As a lifestyle blogger, my posts are all related to things I experience and want to share. I write posts about life overall, helpful tips, and products I enjoy, sometimes partnering brands I trust, use and believe in! Any links or ads you click may generate a small commission for me, without adding any cost to your purchase. This is a way that bloggers offset the costs associated with blogging. You can read on knowing that the kids & I are so happy you’re here! I hope that you’ll stick around and be part of my little online community.
