Déjà Vu
Hi everyone!! I've had this post on my mind (just like the post where I tell you about Cora's birth story) for the past three weeks. And I figured it was time I took the time to type it out. I've been a mom for almost ten years. And it's funny. I think I had mommy amnesia for every stage. Me...

R. Riveter {Sale Code!!!}
I've been meaning to write this post for a long while and something kept getting in the way. Mainly...preggers brain kept making me forget. HA! Today I finally remembered and I also have a great sale to share, so that helps. A while back I started working as a brand rep for R. Riveter. It's a hu...

My Week in the Life™ Title Page + Kit
Hey y'all and happy Monday! I just wanted to pop in quickly today and share what I'm planning on doing for Week in the Life™ this year. If you're not familiar with the concept (and I'm pretty sure everyone is) then click on the link above. It's one of Ali's concepts and it's marvelous. I've ALWA...
Hmmm. $50?
You dont have to get a box every month! You can pick and choose (every six months, etc) and just schedule them when you want one!
Stitch Fix Maternity Review
If you've read here for a while then you know I'm a big, huge fan of Stitch Fix. I have been using this service for years and I still think it's 100 percent totally worth it. Especially now that they have maternity offerings! Let me tell you a little story about trying to shop for clothes in It...

You are so sweet! We are really past the carry a lot of crap stage…though I guess Im about to get myself back into it? BAHAHA! The girls usually pack their own backpacks to entertain themselves in the van…and I put a few essentials in my bag. I usually carry a thirty-one type tote with me with lots of pockets. I take bug spray, sunscreen, the ventolin inhaler, and wipes!
Exploring Italy : Day Trip to Asiago
On Sunday we decided to take a day trip to Asiago. The reasons were twofold. 1. CHEEEEESE. Duh. 2. It is 20 degrees cooler up in the mountains. Yes, please. We'd also heard about a cute little park called Gnome Village and we thought the girls would enjoy it so we got in the car and headed u...
you are the best! xoxo

It is if you do it after the fact - to reward the good behavior. :) I'm doing it before any good behavior occurs. Hence the reason I jokingly called it bribery, haha.

What Motherhood Has Taught Me.
9 years and nearly five kids into this motherhood gig...I can say I've learned a thing or two. I am NOT even close to being an expert. I still have NO idea what I'm doing. To be honest I'm making it up day to day, moment to moment. Today I want to tell you what motherhood has taught me. These th...

How gorgeous are these Puffin in Bloom books by Rifle Paper Co.? I just had to treat myself to this set. I'm in love. Hey y'all! Welcome to the July edition of what I'm reading! As per usual I'm constant updating my reading only Instagram account (@whatstephreads) and through my Goodread...
Dont freaking ask me. Theres no rhyme or reason to any part of this story or to life here in general. Seems like its super subjective and depends on the mood they are in that day. Maybe he thought it effected the bumper?
True Tales From Italy : How to Renew Your Registration in 16 Easy Steps!

Exploring Croatia : Dalmatian Coast
A week ago we took a little family trip to Croatia. It's super easy to get to from Italy (in the car)...parts of Croatia are only a couple of hours away. The part we went to was about 7 hours away but honestly - it still blows my mind that I can drive out of one country, through another, and to ...

june book report.
Here we go...sort of a mixed bag this month... Girl Underwater by Claire Kells / I don't think anyone recommended this to me, I just picked it off the "new book" shelf at the library. It was fine and a cool plot idea but it was also Young Adult which is a genre that tends to bug me. With this ...

Taylor Swift in Cologne, Germany
Who's the crazy 6 1/2 months pregnant mom who drove 11 hours to take her kids to a Taylor Swift concert? Oh wait! That's me!!! Yes. I might be certifiably insane but it was worth every moment. My friend and I concocted this plan about 8 months ago. We bought tickets, booked lodging, and ...
sounds wonderful!

Happy Monday everyone! It's gray, rainy, and cold here and I don't have the energy to edit and upload the photos from the rest of our trip (soon!) so I thought I'd share a recent story that I love and treasure. I keep meaning to share it here, so that I won't ever forget it (this blog is my br...
