The end of my 30 day post challenge!

30 days of posts done and dusted. It kind of snuck up on me! I was going through some posts yesterday because I wanted to look at a particular one and was surprised how far back it was. I really enjoyed coming up with new topics every day. I know this was literally yesterday's post, …

Jungle summer style

I am in love with the Hollywood jungle style, not bright colored prints, but "I'm going into the jungle" style (Hollywood's interpretation at least). It always consists of a tank top, button down shirt (with rolled up sleeves), and khakis shorts. I'm not going to lie, I wear this combination a lot. When I was …

UPDATE: 22 in 2022

Oof. I am slacking on my 22 in 2022. I need to get my rear in gear! Getting sick for the month of March set me back, but we are getting back on track. These are meant to be fun, so I'm not going to stress. Just doing this update made me excited again about …

Crockpot Chronicles – chicken tikka masala

We got very little sleep last night, the dreaded 9 month sleep regression. I knew I was not going to be in the mood or have the energy to make a decent dinner, so out came my trust crockpot. It is time to grocery shop but luckily I had chicken, tikka masala sauce, and couscous …

Sun safety

As I look outside from my living room at the bright sun, I was thinking about sun safety. It is currently peak sun hours, so I'm staying inside right now (and the humidity is off the charts today). But, later today, I'll go on a walk with my "pack" and will make sure I have …

Rug cleaning

I was vacuuming the kitchen and it struck me, our kitchen rug was filthy! Vacuuming wasn't going to cut it, I needed to deep clean it. It is only a 5'x7' rug so it is easy to maneuver around, so I put a tarp out on the driveway and soaked it down. I just used …

6 things that saved us with a newborn

These are my 6 got-to-haves as a new mother. They saved our sanity and made the transition from no baby to baby so much easier. I've been trying to keep baby stuff to a minimum, but I highly highly recommend these items. 1. Halo sleepsack - we bought the fleece swaddle sleepsack. It was comforting …

‘Friends’ appreciation post

I'm rewatching Friends right now starting from Season 1. Every time I watch this show I laugh so hard, and I laugh at new things each time. Friends has something for everyone for different parts of your life. The show was just so well written and well acted and just seems ageless. I mean, even …

Sunnies, Shades, Sunglasses

R.I.P aviators. I am looking to replace my sunglasses, which have been beat up to high heaven. I'm talking so scratched that I can hardly see through them. I bought my current pair of Ray-Bans 5 years ago to replace my Ray-Ban Aviators which I was obsessed with but the nose piece finally broke off …

Things you should do before leaving for a trip

It is time for summer vacations, which means leaving your house and enjoying some much needed R and R (or adventure). But you're also leaving your home and a majority of your possessions alone, so what can you do to protect your home? 1. Stop your mail and newspaper. 2. Tell the police you'll be …
