Personally, yes, we knew these lessons, but I found that we had to be very active participants. Read on to find out some of the key principles that we’ve turned to help us stay focused on each other, our kids, our newly blended family.

Weekend at Ocean City Beach, Boardwalk Fun, and Riverfront Eats
As many of you know, Little A is out of kindergarten and soon to be in first grade this fall. To celebrate her milestone and kick-off summer break we took a mommy + me trip out camping with Getaways House then the following weekend we packed up the dogs and headed out to a weekend on the beach. Little couldn’t really go swimming, which I thought she was definitely going to have a fit about, but she was okay with playing the sand; we made sand castles together and walked around the boardwalk.

A Look Back on 2017 // Goals For 2018

Motherhood: Weekend Recap // Week 42
Hey, my good vibes tribes! Been a minute since my last post and even longer since my last #momlife update. Oh my gosh, we have had such a fun, busy, and hectic couple of days in our home! I had to skip my style post on Tuesday because it was my Little A’s 6th birthday. I cannot believe that I have a 6-year-old to be honest. Birthdays are so special, especially hers, obviously so I literally go overboard with the celebrations, lol, like why not, right? And let me tell you she was so excited for her birthday and to turn six that she literally counted down to the day……

So guys, I have been on cloud nine since Saturday because my Little A returned from her vacation and it was so good to see/hug/talk to her IRL! I had missed her for so long as you guys know from my social media posts! After a day of family time, we had to deal with some serious jet lag + sleep routine. I couldn’t get her to wind down and so I finally gave in and slept in…

7 Bridesmaids Dresses I Love
How many times have you seen bridesmaid dresses so horrendous that you shriek in horror of the ugliness? It’s 2017 so lots of brides are creating their very own custom weddings from their gowns to bridesmaids dresses. Which brings me to today’s post.
