Here’s my list of my favorite baby must haves to make life with a newborn easier on your entire family. Today, I’m talking bedtime, travel, home, and for mom.
My family and I have been enjoying one last hurrah in Nevada, soaking up as much summer sun as possible. Don’t worry, a vlog of the trip is coming someday! I wanted to pop in quickly and share with you my YouTube video this week (I post new videos every Thursday if my carrier pigeon…
Are you sick of hearing me talk about Q&A Tuesday yet? No? Well, good! All summer long I answer questions from social media LIVE on Facebook. Usually I answer a money, budgeting, or frugal living question. But a few weeks ago I did the ol’ classic “ask me anything” live Q&A, and realize I forgot…
With July 4th approaching, I couldn’t push down the nagging urge and inkling that pops up every year…telling me I need to share my story with you all. My horrifying, embarrassing, life-changing story of that time I almost let my child die because I was distracted on Instagram. As with every year there is an…
Hey Freebs! In cased you missed it, I’m in Oregon visiting my parents for spring break. While squished between two car seats, ducking down so my head doesn’t block the movie for 10 straight hours, I did lots of thinking about the ol’ blog here. As many of you have noticed, I’ve had to scale…
How to keep kids healthy…without losing your sanity. That seems to be my biggest battle lately. A knock down, drag out, who-has-the-sanity-for-this kind of battle at that. In the last few weeks we’ve had allergies, runny noses, ear infections, busted fingers, ear infections, you name it! (Can you tell school has started??) My kids are not willing “healthy”…
You may or may not know that Bubba and I are both entrepreneurs and have 6 businesses between the two of us…and 4 of them are mine! We often get asked how to start a business, and also often get asked how to teach kids to work hard and earn their own money. Today I’m…
I often get asked how I get my kids to nap! (Yes, all 5 of my kids nap at the same time almost every day. It’s fine, call me the Nap Nazi, I don’t mind.) I’ll be honest, it took some practice. My oldest was a TERRIBLE sleeper, thanks to me and my incredible ability to…
If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen that I am a blog partner with the First Lady of Utah, Jeanette Herbert, and her Uplift Families initiative (read all about it HERE)! Last year, we attended their parenting conference, and it was amazing. I laughed until I cried, was inspired, ate fabulous food and amazing…
Guys. I’m EXHAUSTED. Partially from having a newborn but mostly from having too much fun! Two summers ago I was a “single mom” and very pregnant. Last summer we were busy prepping our house to sell. They were busy summers and we found ourselves paying other people to allow us to have fun. This is the…
I often get asked how I get my baby to sleep, all 5 of my babies for that matter, especially for naps! (Yes, all 5 of my kids nap at the same time almost every day. It’s fine, call me the Nap Nazi, I don’t mind.) I’ll be honest, it took some practice. My oldest…
