Many of Peyton's PJs came from carters. From the day I brought her home from the hospital till today she has been kept cozy in Carter's PJs. Did you know that today (November 29th) is #GivingTuesday? I have partnered with Bloggin' Mamas and Carter’s to promote Giving Tuesday, a pro-social movement that encourages manufacturers and other participants to support charitable giving on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year marks Carter’s first Pajama Program for Giving Tuesday. ...

Indulge Your Senses with Aera
Our senses play a huge role in how we feel. Have you ever noticed when you walk into a bakery and the smell of fresh baked bread surrounds you, how you feel warm and comfortable? Or if you walk into a home, where someone has been baking all day long? Or when it's spring time and having the windows open with the breeze flowing through the house is refreshing? All those feelings are driven by your sense of smell. So many of us use various air fresheners in our homes. Air fresheners are helpful in ...
Santaland is Now Open at Macy’s
Before downtown Minneapolis had Macy's it was Dayton's department store. I remember every winter we would head downtown to Dayton's 8th floor and see the holiday decorations, look at the displays and see Santa. It's some of my favorite memories from my childhood.

While Macy's may have changed a few things around they kept the holiday ...

Tinkerbell Gift Ideas: Finding Dory Themed
Peyton and I will be arriving at Disney World in just a few short weeks! I am so excited I can barely contain myself. Plus, Peyton doesn't know when we are going. She just knows we are going sometime in the next year. Oh, I cannot wait until she finds out. Her face is going to be priceless!

I mean, you spend all this money on a ...
Don’t Forget the Labels
Our weather is changing. I can feel winter knocking on our door. As I am going through our winter gear and seeing what I need to purchase for this year I am reminded of all the hats, gloves and scarves we lost last year. This year I am determined to not lose any of them! I know we will. It's bound to happen that some will be dropped on the way to and from school but if they had a label in them the school would know who to return them to. Last year I had to dig through the lost and found more ...
