Christmas Magic in Downtown Denver
It has been quite the year. It is hard to believe it is already December, Halloween and Thanksgiving have flown by and Christmas is quickly approaching. I know this year has been challenging but I try really hard to bring positivity to my family and try to look on the brighter side of life. I am grateful for our health and continue to pray for others and hope for a somewhat “normal” 2021 🙏 This is Lulu’s second Christmas and when she is all grown we want her to remember the magic in Christmas so despite the craziness 2020 has brought we still want to find safe Holiday events we…

Dining Room Inspiration
Our dining room table arrived yesterday 🙌 This is a huge deal for me, we have lived in our home for TWO years, TWO years! I know furnishing your home is always something to look forward to but I have dreamed about this for two years. Right before we purchased the table, my hubby looked at me and said “are you sure this is the one you want?” Without hesitation I said “Yes, it’s been on my inspiration board for TWO years.” 😂 When we toured the house for the first time before purchasing, the previous owners had a long rectangle dining room table. After moving in and renovating the…

Christmas Gift Guide – Toddler Edition!
December is here 😬 Christmas is quickly approaching. This is Lulu’s second Christmas, I have a feeling Christmas will be a sensory overload for her this year 😅 That being said, I am going to make Christmas morning as visually pleasing as possible. Let’s be real, at 17 months she will be all about the colors, the paper, the ribbons, the music more than the actual toys. She is already all about the Christmas tree! Hanging the ornaments was so much fun with her this year 😍 Before I even went shopping for Lucy I looked for the prettiest paper and ribbons. Hallmark makes the best bulk wrapping paper. The…

Coffee & Tea Junkie Hostess Gift
My sister gifted me the Coffee & Tea Junkie Pour-Over Advent Calendar. Such a fun gift idea for a coffee lover ☕️ Or if you have decided to enjoy a safe Thanksgiving with a small group, what a great hostess gift this would be! It comes with 24 packs of coffee so you can enjoy a fresh cup everyday until Christmas. Here is the best part… Each day is a surprise flavor 😀 I think that is so fun. If you are gifting to a Keurig loving family, she makes a K Cup Advent Calendar too. You don’t even need a coffee maker for the pour over coffee. She includes…

New Baby – Bottles & Formula
Here comes the third post in my new baby series dedicated to my BFF Lola and her bundle of joy coming on New Years Eve! Lola asked me the question we all ask ourselves before giving birth, what if breastfeeding doesn’t work for me? Real talk, breastfeeding is HARD. I had very unrealistic expectations of breastfeeding as I’d known a few friends to breastfeed their kids with ease (or so I thought). Getting personal here, breastfeeding was very important to me, I knew the health benefits were essential to Lulu. I tried… but here is the thing, no one tells you beforehand how to breastfeed, how to pump, when your…

New Baby – Postpartum Items to Have at Home
Welcome to the second post in my New Baby series that I am putting together for my best friend, she is having her first baby on New Years Eve! Ok, so, your hospital bag is packed and ready to go, now it is time to think about what postpartum items you should have handy when you return home. The hospital provides many essential items for your stay, but your postpartum care continues long after you leave. If you are like me, you spent nine months preparing for baby and zero time preparing for your postpartum needs. I owe my survival of postpartum to my Mother and two Mama friends 🙏…

New Baby – The Hospital Bag
Let’s be real here, pregnancy is an all around overwhelming emotional process. From start to finish 🙃 especially your first. We brought Lulu into this world July of 2019 and it rocked our world, in a good way, of course but having your first child is life changing! That being said, my very best friend is due with her first, a little boy on New Years Eve, so I am dedicating this series of posts to her. I hope this helps other new or soon to be Mama’s out there! 💛 This post is all about the hospital bag 🙌 What to bring, what not to bring, what the…
