empowered moms create thriving families!
Over the last couple years Hanna has pretty regularly received sets of magnetic “paper dolls”. I was thrilled to see them the first time because they were so cool! They really are like paper dolls, but they are wood and magnetic, so they are much more durable. She’s gotten a Daisy Girls dress up set [...]
Yesterday was my kiddo’s last day at school. We now have 12 days together until she goes back to school. While I still have to work, and my husband will have to work, I definitely want to find some time to get in some fun holiday activities together. Here’s some of the ideas I had… [...]
We often get weird looks when the topic of bedtime comes up with friends and family. I’m a little hyper vigilant when it comes to my kiddo getting enough sleep. She goes to bed early ~ every day of the week ~ because she gets up early ~ every day of the week, no matter [...]

Well… it’s almost over ~ our first summer since Hanna started school. It’s gone pretty well, and I’m excited for school to start. Hanna’s teacher from last year has moved to a different school so she’ll be getting a new teacher this year. We’ve met her, as she stopped by earlier this week for the [...]
A while back I saw a tweet for a free song from the Beautiful Creatures album. It was a song about the Happiest Hippo. It’s catchy and fun, and Hanna loved it. She wanted more. I was given a review copy of the entire album and we spent the entire night dancing to the fun [...]
We are a good couple weeks into Summer vacation from school (heaven help us) and we’re spending our Monday afternoons at the library ~ taking out our limit of 10 books each week. I have to say I’m super grateful that Hanna is a “reader”. She loves books. She would sit and let force me [...]
I forget sometimes, just how much I love warm Spring nights. Tonight I was sitting on the porch, reading a book, watching Hanna swim in her new pool and took a minute to look around, listen around, and appreciate.
