As most of you know, I lost my dad in an accident 8 years ago, in 2008. I still, to this day, have never shared the details of what happened to anyone out loud– maybe someday I will get the strength for that, & maybe how it happened doesn’t matter– but regardless, that’s not what this […]

At Gio’s 18 month check-up back in August, the pediatrician recommended we start talking about going on the potty & really familiarizing him with the concept. I did have a potty book, so we started reading that along with our usual bedtime books. Even though we were talking about it & showing him how we use the potty, he […]
Gio & I have a banana smoothie every single morning, so there’s no shortage of bananas around here! We had a few that were suuuuper ripe & hubby suggested that I make banana muffins. I found this Banana Crumb Muffins Recipe on Allrecipes.com– it had 5 stars & over 9,000 reviews (a sign I look for when I’m […]
Giovanni loves sensory play. I built him a sensory table last year that we use almost every single day! Out of nowhere he asked if we could play with some “pay dough.” He loves cooking/baking with me so I knew he would love making the play dough, too. I used my tried & true “No Cook […]
Hi Loves! :) Back for another #MakeupMonday, this time with a green smokey eye. I’ve been trying to incorporate more color in my makeup tutorials on YouTube so I figured I’d start with something a little less bold & go with green. I pulled this photo from Snapchat (@thelovenotes for daily fun & kiddo cuteness!) […]

I’m so excited to be starting up my makeup tutorials again :) This one is an “Everyday Spring” look with pink tones on the lids & a bright pink on the lips. I skipped dark eyeliner & went for a more soft and natural vibe by using eyeshadow on the lower lash line. Watch the 5 minute […]
Time for some real talk. Our son (& oldest child) Giovanni just turned 2 at the end of February. In two short months, this age has already proven to be challenging… Add a new baby sister in the mix (born the day after his birthday) & we’ve got some real excitement going on around here, folks. […]
I can’t believe Gabriella is a month old already (& I’m just now getting around to writing this, ha!). Life has been pretty hectic around here though, having 2 kiddos is taking some getting used to! But I’m loving it. Just look at this girl, who wouldn’t be in love?! Her hair… I’ll never be over […]
At 11:25pm on February 29, 2016 the contractions began. After a few episodes of Braxton Hicks, somehow I knew this was really it– BABY TIME!!!! By midnight we were on our way to the hospital. With a 45 minute drive ahead of us, I was trying to just stay calm & breathe through the contractions– […]
