    Memorial Day Weekend

    Memorial day is upon us.  It is one of my favorite weekends of the year. The tradition of us hosting a crawfish boil started in 2016 when Lillian was baptized on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.  A crawfish boil was the perfect way to celebrate with our friends and family.  We decided to keep the tradition alive and host a boil every year, and it’s the official start of summer for us.  I love hosting parties, but just don’t do it enough since the girls are still so little.  I am dying for a fancy dinner party, but the idea of having toddlers running around during cocktail hour ruins…

Every Friday I will highlight 5 things I am currently loving.  This can be anything from habits that are currently serving me, clothes, apps, people I am currently loving, podcasts, food, mom hacks and everything in between!  What I am currently loving: Fairy Tales Hair Care Products I had been struggling for about a year with the girls’ hair.  It was very dry and almost brittle.  Lillian’s hair is fine and wavy, Stella’s is thick and straight and nothing I was using seemed to do the trick for either of them. I wanted to stick with something nontoxic and of course tear free, since they…

    The Big Game

    We love football in this house, especially the NFL.  While Matt is a hardcore Cowboys fan, I am diehard Saints fan, we will watch no matter who is playing.  So when the beginning of February rolls around, we are always pumped to watch the big game.  Before having kids, I loved hosting a party for the game, but with as young as the girls are, hosting a party, particularly one in which I would have to get the girls down for bed in the middle of, we’ve opted to just watch the game the two of us over the past few years.  Since Lillian and Stella are a little older…
