One of my favorite holiday traditions is spending time in the kitchen with my little ones. Earlier today, we used this Reindeer Treats recipe to whip up a big batch to take to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for Christmas Eve. I’ve heard this stuff called Reindeer Treats, Reindeer Chow, Christmas Muddy Buddies, and even Puppy Chow… but in the end, it doesn’t really matter what you call it. All that matters is that you make it.
Christmas is a week away… which means it’s time to share our DIY family Halloween costume, because why not? Look, I have 2 little ones. Hence, why I’m posting Halloween costumes in December. But when they’re as cute as this Ms. Pac-Man and Ghosts costumes ensemble, I can’t let the season pass by without sharing. [And by “season,” obviously I mean “the last 3 months of the year,” which is totally a season in my book.]
Long time no talk, friends! I’ve missed blogging a lot these past couple of weeks. The flu hit our house with a vengeance, and we’re just now coming up for air. No better way to get back into my readers’ good graces than with a yummy recipe, though… right? This KitKat cookie recipe is amazing. The cookies are soooo soft, and the KitKat adds a little something different from my usual chocolate chip cookies. Trust me, this is the perfect unique holiday party dessert.

Whether you know me in real life or online, you’ve probably heard me talk about one thing… I am incredibly self-conscious about my c-section pouch. [And if you don’t know what a c-section pouch is, consider yourself lucky.] I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find pants that camouflage my c-section shelf, typically with little-to-no luck. But today, I’m sharing one of my secrets: the best leggings for moms. And yes, they actually hide the mommy tummy!

As the weather cools down, I start loving cozy tops and leggings… even more than I normally do. As a stay-at-home mom, my usual daily style has to emphasize comfort. But, I’ve always enjoyed getting dolled up, and I don’t want to lose that just because I’m a mom. A piece like this black colorblock floral top is a win-win: super comfortable and effortlessly stylish!
