Ah, August. The heat is so oppressive that after five minutes outside you need a shower, “Named” storms start popping up, and THE KIDS ARE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.  Admittedly, it’s school that makes some of the most lasting impressions...

WooHoo! It’s that time of year again. Our mailboxes are bursting with back to school info and Target looks like a hurricane came through. Kids are picking out their first day of school outfits and complaining that we won’t...

I saw a meme that hit me hard. It said, “Fourth of July is over. It’s time to get your back to school supplies, and Halloween costumes, and Thanksgiving menus, and Christmas shopping done now, because it’s basically 2023....

Covid-19 brought us all so much frustration, but maybe some new opportunities as well. I am just a normal mom of three who loves her lunches with girl friends, quick pop ins to Anthropology and Target, and my weekly...

Several years ago I started working at a local boutique. The owner was one of my good friends and asked if I would maybe want to work one day a week to both help her out and get out...

I don't love to cook. There I said it.  It's actually one of the things I dislike the most about my mom gig. I'd rather do the clean up than the cooking. I grew up with a single working mother...

SUMMER! It's finally here and we have such high hopes for grilling, chilling, beaching, ALL of it! We believe in living intentionally, but we also know that over the summer, that's not always simple. It's all too easy to fall...

School is out and Summer is here. Hopefully you are finding yourself with extra time to re-energize and reorient yourself as a mom & person. I personally like to use the slower pace of summer to self educate or...

Memorial Day weekend is almost here and we've gathered some local events for you to try out! Enjoy the community connection, friends. Saturday, May 27 Eglin Gate to Gate Memorial Run/Walk Celebrate one of Northwest Florida's greatest traditions at Eglin's 36th Gate...

I don't know about you but my #momlife is a busy one. With four kids at three different schools, I'm always coming or going. Add in dance classes for two of my babes (and yes, boys dance too), sports...

We live at the beach, so finding kids' swimwear that is cute, affordable, and will last through the summer without fading or wearing out (looking at you, scratchy pool stairs) is kind of my thing. For our salt-and-chlorine-filled summer...

I'm not going to lie, I have never really considered myself a bargain shopper. But with several kids, it's taught me to have a plan and pinch some pennies. Alas, I bring to you: Fun Things To Do This...

The weather is warming up and that means more beach days are happening! As a mom, we wear the 'be prepared for everything' hat quite often and that definitely includes our days at the beach. We polled local moms...

Recently, I’ve noticed my left eye starting to twitch. A lot. I’ve been more irritable than usual, and my morning emotional support beverage hasn’t seemed to make one bit of difference. Neither has increasing my workout time or my...
