I'm so excited about moving into our new home! There are so many things I love about my new home - a backyard, my own office, a room for each of my kids with extra space to expand our family, and my favorite feature of all- MY OWN BATHROOM! Yeah, I have to share with the hubby, but I'm devising a plan where he will somehow accept that the bathroom on the first floor is all his and I get the master bathroom all to myself. I'm still working on ...

Fall Fashion Find for Kids at Gymboree!
Does it seem like your kids go through clothes faster than you can say Gymboree? My kids do! They grow quick and wear out their clothes even quicker that I can barely keep up! This back to school season I took my oldest daughter on a virtual shopping spree at Gymboree where she picked out her favorite styles just in time for the fall. We love Gymboree for a few reasons- they always have amazing sales which means we can get more for our buck. They ...
We take our olive oil seriously… Quinoa with Shrimp and Spinach Recipe
"I received this product for free from Smiley360 in exchange for my honest review. You can join Smiley360 here!" In Greek culture, we use olive oil for more than just eating. We use olive oil soap for a variety of skin ailments. When my daughters were both plagued by cradle cap, our only successful remedy was pure olive oil, left on their scalp for a half hour and them gently combed out. We used olive oil to massage the skin and moisturize the ...
Sending Warm Thoughts with Flowers
It's been a long few weeks for my family. It almost feels as if my and my daughters are "displaced" as we renovate our new home and pack up our old home. Neither feels like "home" at the moment and it's starting to affect my oldest daughter who has had mood changes lately. They say kids adapt easy, and I do believe that, but with the back and forth and in between, it's bound to temporarily affect them. Just to give a little back story- we were ...
The perfect costume for my toddler!!
It's that time of year again! Time to start thinking of the perfect Halloween costume for your little ones! My oldest has been flip flipping back and forth between two of her favorite princesses, while my youngest really doesn't grasp the concept or mind what I put get I'm yet. There were a few things I knew she would absolutely love wearing, especially tutus and flowery headbands but I just couldn't settle on the perfect costume for her. I ...
aden+anais Introduces Their Organic Line!
When your baby is born you want to wrap them in the best, most comfortable fabrics you can find. I remember the first thing to touch my daughters' skin was the stiff hospital receiving blankets. I couldn't wait to get them home and wrap them in softer blankets. The thick, flannel-like blankets were all I knew but everything changed when I discovered aden+anais soft muslin receiving blankets. The first aden + anais product we owned was the bamboo ...
It’s a Luau Birthday Party! #PartyCity
Thanks to Party City for providing party decor for our Luau! When you ask a four year old what kind of birthday party they want, you will generally get an answer which includes one or many of their favorite characters. My daughter's second birthday party was a Minnie Mouse themed party, her third was a Hello Kitty Birthday party, and her fourth was a total shock to me- a Luau Birthday party. She was watching Lilo and Stitch and decided she ...
Quick Meal Sides with McCain Potatoes!
There's a lot going on in our household this month. We've been renovating, packing, and waiting to move. My daughter has started school in our new neighborhood despite still living in our old neighborhood, so our days are spent in the car and convenience meals have taken over our lives. It's been tough on our whole family, but we know that soon we will be living in a great neighborhood and in a much bigger house. By the time I get home with the ...
