Woodloch Resort Reader Discount Code
Woodloch Resort in Hawley, PA has been such a special place for my family over the past few years. With two very active kids playing multiple sports each per season and my husband and I both working full time jobs we are constantly on the go and have little time to getaway. When we do get away, Woodloch Resort has become our go-to spot. Destined to always have a good time, my kids beg to get ...
Dog-Friendly Destinations on the East Coast
Looking for somewhere to visit on the East Coast that you can bring along your dog? Today I am sharing some dog-friendly destinations on the East coast. I have always found it hard to find someone to watch our dog when we would travel. We have had some amazing dog sitters but if we want to go away for a long time it can be tricky. Living in New Jersey and expecting a puppy in early March ...
Word of the Year: JOY
I haven't really ever picked a word of the year. In the past I have thought of resolutions, put new ideas in place, succeeded and failed at many things but this year I have decided to try to help change my outlook on the year in order to feel as if I have a bit of control over how things affect me. 2018 did us dirty when our boy Finnegan was so quickly taken from us. In a matter of hours we ...

Holiday shopping is truly one of my most favorite things to do.

Strong Is The New Pretty and Other Inspiring Books for Young Girls
My daughter Hayley is about to turn 8. Before I curl up in a ball and cry over how on earth my youngest is so old now, I need to work hard and teach her every day that it's ok to be herself. I praise her basketball shorts, buy her all the headbands, play soccer with her, read stories of fairies and other stories of strong women with her, we play babies, we play barbies, we craft, we create, we ...
Walnut Street Theatre Kids Series
On a rare weekend day with no soccer in the forecast, we decided to take full advantage of the time off and head into Philadelphia with the kids. We were invited by the Walnut Street Theatre to attend their Kids Series show Aladdin, Jr.! Last winter we were lucky enough to check out Annie and it really made such an impression on the kids. For me it reminded me of growing up and being lucky ...
DIY Fall Projects to Spruce Up Your Space
Technically the calendar says it's still summer but my mind is set to fall. I've been drinking Pumpkin Spice coffee like it's my job and even busted out my favorite fall boots! All while demonstrating some hard to control restraint to not wear a scarf and medium weight coat. Usually this time of year I am grasping tightly onto every little bit of summer that I can but this year that is all out ...
FALL FAMILY BUCKET LIST
Oh the weather outside is frightful (not in a stormy Christmas way though).....90 degrees outside but the calendar says it's almost October...and since Mother Nature is so mixed up (Oh right, there is no such things as global warming) what's a mom to do when all she wants is some hot apple cider but it's still iced coffee weather?? No need to buy fall/spring jackets anymore because we go from 30 ...
Finnegan
I've been missing from the blog as I have had no idea how to say this, what to write, how to use the exact words to describe the love I had and the heartache I have been feeling. We lost our dear, sweet and incredibly loved Finnegan a month ago. I spilled peanut butter on the floor today and nearly lost my mind when I realized I needed to clean it myself and Finnegan couldn't be rushing in to ...
DIY Pillow Covers
In an effort to make our home "show-worthy" to sell it I have been whipping up new accessories on the daily. Our realtor told us to limit our personal photos around the house so potential owners could picture the house as theirs when walking through it but it left the whole house looking pretty bare and unwelcoming. That is when I decided to turn to my favorite craft groups on Facebook and check ...
