Don’t be Grumpy! One of my favorite parts of Gol

Don’t be Grumpy! One of my favorite parts of Golden Oak is Snow White park. There’s a fountain surrounded by bronze statues of Snow White and all of the Seven Dwarfs. Naturally, Charlie’s favorite is Grumpy! But my favorite is Sleepy! Which is your favorite?

Ever since Covid, our date nights are practically

Ever since Covid, our date nights are practically nonexistent but it doesn’t mean that we don’t make time for each other. Our “dates” are just a little different. Lately, we take advantage of any little time we get. Charlie was taking a nap and my parents were in the house, so we each grabbed our favorite flavor @PRESSseltzer and went outside for a little us time over a drink. Even a quick impromptu drink together outside is all we need to connect.

PRESS was started by a single mom of little kids that understood the need for a quick and easy drink some days. This is definitely a perfect solution for busy moms! It’s quick, easy, delicious, low calorie, low carb and low sugar. Doesn’t get better than that! #enjoyPRESS #AD

One of the most unexpected places of our school bus trip... the white sands in New Mexico. I had no idea New Mexico was so amazing!

I’m finally wrapping up my school bus recap on stories. If you missed any of it, you can find them all on a “Bus Life” highlight on my page. All of my favorite memories from 3+ months on the road exploring the US in our yellow school bus turned vacation home.

A day late, but I finally took her annual playhouse picture. I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

When she turned 3 I changed the number on the door to match her age. If you notice the picture I shared of the playhouse a few weeks ago had a number 2 on the door. It was from last year, but I needed a new one for her baby album (that I haven’t even started yet). I swear I’ll start her baby album one day.

Happy Easter from our family to yours! This is def

Happy Easter from our family to yours! This is definitely not one of the better pics I’ve shared, but it’s the only family photo we got today... and sometimes you just have to enjoy the moment and not worry about the getting the perfect picture.

It was so nice to finally spend time with the whole family. Most of us are fully vaccinated so we decided to get together. It’s the first real family gathering that we’ve had in over a year. Oh how I’ve missed it! Hope you were able to enjoy Easter with your family as well. ❤️

Is this in Italy or Disney?? It really looks like

Is this in Italy or Disney?? It really looks like an Italian villa, but it’s the vegetable garden at the clubhouse in Disney’s Golden Oak. It’s our go to restaurant when we’re at the Disney house because it’s in the neighborhood (we drive over on our golf cart), the food is delicious and we avoid the crowds. When Disney is super crowded (like spring break) the clubhouse is still rather quiet. And if you’ve been a longtime follower, you know Charlie has been obsessed with vegetables since she was a baby. (Knowing what all of them are, not eating them). She loves to visit the vegetable garden and see everything they’re growing. No trip to the Disney house is complete without a stop at the vegetable garden.

Something for Charlie & something for Mommy! We re

Something for Charlie & something for Mommy! We received the yummiest Easter basket from @nataliesoj. It brought strawberry lemonade, orange juice, champagne and some goodies. #AD It arrived 2 days ago and Charlie has almost finished the juices! They really are delicious... although she only let me have 1 sip to try it 😂

They provided a code for my followers. If you order by April 5th, use code “EASTER21” for 30% off your order. And if you order before noon on 3/31 they guarantee delivery before Easter. Check them out at https://bit.ly/3vODrCp

We are back at the “Belle House” for the week.

We are back at the “Belle House” for the week. This is our second trip coming to the Disney house and not visiting any of the theme parks because they are just way too full. Not to mention that it’s in the 90’s here all week (32C+). So instead we’re spending time by the pool, BBQing and just enjoying some good family time. Hopefully we will return in a few weeks to go to the parks after all the Spring Break madness is over.

Our playroom will soon be an adult space! Our hous

Our playroom will soon be an adult space! Our house has a big bonus room off the kitchen that used to be our adult game room with a bar and pool table. Once Charlie was born, the pool table went and the toys took over. But we are officially taking it back! Well, sorta.

Part of the reason I got the castle loft bed was so that some of Charlie’s bigger toys could go under it. Our home is currently under renovations and one of the biggest updates is in this room. We removed the old bar (it’s on the other side of this room) and a new wall to wall bar area is being installed in the next couple weeks. We’ll be adding a nice sitting area and then a small section (probably about this portion of the room) will remain for some toys. It’s becoming more of a family space that we can all enjoy, instead of a huge room filled with an overload of toys.

At what age are kids officially done with needing a playroom? Can’t wait to have a nice and neat home again. I can deal with the mess in her bedroom and just shut the door, but the bonus room attached to my kitchen being a mess all the time was really getting to me.

#AD As a mom, I’m always conscious to practice what I preach. I focus on things such as good hygiene by doing our nighttime routine together. I recently switched to the new Colgate® Keep toothbrush from Target and I’m loving it. By switching to Colgate® Keep I’m also teaching my daughter about sustainability. This toothbrush has an aluminum handle with detachable heads, for 80% less plastic waste*. I love that I can make these little choices in my day to day life that are better for our world. #ColgateKeepforGood @colgate Until 3/31 you can save $3 on Colgate® Keep @target. #ColgatePartner
*compared to similarly sized ColgateⓇ toothbrushes

We are ready for Easter around here! Are you? Now

We are ready for Easter around here! Are you?

Now that most of our family is vaccinated, we are finally starting to get together again for holidays and I foresee us all spending Easter together. Are you getting together with family and friends again or still avoiding all gatherings? I finally feel like we are starting to get our lives back. It’s been a long year and I’m so glad things are getting better here, although I know other countries are super behind us in vaccinations.

#AmazonPartner With a new home, being able to shop

#AmazonPartner With a new home, being able to shop on @amazon and receive my products directly to the new house in just a couple of days has really made this moving in process so much easier. Now with their new Climate Pledge Friendly program, I am also doing my little part to help protect our planet. The #ClimatePledgeFriendly storefront allows you to easily find and select products from Amazon that are more sustainable.

This program includes a huge range of products, from Charlie’s new super cozy and organic Burt’s Bees pajamas to Mrs. Meyers cleaning products and even a new laptop to leave here at the Disney house. There are over 25,000 products included in the program. They’re clearly labeled on the product page and super easy to find, making it a breeze to make more sustainable choices when selecting products. Check out my stories today as I’m showing you just how easy it is to find more sustainable products. #FoundItOnAmazon
