I've been working with parents for a long time on how to store, sort, keep, and memorialize their baby's clothing. While the outfits are tiny, their meaning is anything but. Now that I have my own little one, I understand all too well how difficult it can be to get rid of clothing, even though you know it won't be used again. I've been doing really well at donating and passing along MOST of ...
While the holidays and all the fun and distractions that they bring are behind us for another year, in many parts of the country, long winter months still loom ahead with bitterly cold days when kids are home from school, unable to play outside, and under parents’ feet.
On such days, it can be difficult to keep their children away from the TV or off their devices, leading them to be ...
You all know by now that I'm a new parent. While I wouldn't by any means call myself experienced, I am learning the ropes, a little bit more every single day.

Everyone knows the first few weeks home with a newborn are a challenge. There are a lot of things to learn, and a lot of things to do. I've found myself reaching for the same few products over and over again these first few weeks. Some are ones I anticipated needing and wanting and others were a complete surprise. I wanted to share with you what I'm calling my "lifesavers".
Please note I ...
I'm here to tell you, being a mother is no easy job. It's the hardest job you'll ever have. At the same time, it's the most fun and rewarding. As I've made the transition from work from home entrepreneur to work from home mother, there are a few guidebooks I've read that have allowed me to make the transition as smooth as possible. Every day isn't easy, and there are some days where I want to ...
Are you ready for part two of our nursery tour? Well, you're in luck, because here it is! On another note, I'm really glad I took all of these photos before Baby arrived, because the room hasn't looked this clean since!
The Shelves
Originally I was going to have two dressers in this room. Then, I realized that his clothes are REALLY tiny. And the closet is really big. And there are TOYS ...
I'll admit, this wasn't a post I was going to do. However, when people found out we were expecting, I started to get some questions about how I was going to organize the nursery and if I would be writing about it. And so, I decided I would share my process with you.
The Walls
The space was a blank slate to start. We painted the walls in two colors; Adriatic Sea and Chantilly Lace, both my ...
I can't believe it's that tie already...time to back the famous "hospital bag" to have baby!

For Mom:
Warm socks
Robe
Headbands and hair ties
Button Front PJs
Chargers for ...
Not all baby preparation is done in the nursery. In fact, not all baby preparation focuses on the baby! I wanted to share with you some organizing products I undertook in order to make sure I had things on hand, ready to go, easy to use, and of course, organized before baby's arrival. Have a suggestion for me? Share it in the comments below!
