In January of 2020, I tried Botox for the first time. I was one of “those” people who had a whole lot of preconceived notions about Botox: it will make me look frozen, it hurts, it’s for old people (what is “old” by the way?), it’s super expensive…etc. etc. Then I was getting my hair done one day, and there was a pop up Botox …

I have been meaning to write this post for about a year and a half now. Elle’s room is by far my favorite one in the house, and while it’s been a work in progress since she transitioned out of a crib (at around 3.5 years of age! eek), I think it’s finally done…. until she decides she wants something different probably next week! Her …

Elle has acquired quiet the dolly collection over the last five years, and even though we have quiet a few, there is one brand that is my absolute go-to: the Götz collection. Pottery Barn Kids was how I was discovered these dolls, and their adorable little faces and outfits got me. Elle’s first one was actually the Götz Baby Doll Leila, exactly the same size …

How it feels. What it costs. Is it worth it? Two weeks ago, I did a thing. A thing I said I would NEVER do. I said I would never do it, because I didn’t know any better.

So much so, that I don’t really want to take my tree down, like ever, because all of the sudden, indoor pictures aren’t as magical looking anymore. With a few weeks left of twinkly …

I love doing this post every year, because I want to include the toys that we actually have and use, and LOVE. I’ve included some bigger items, some smaller toys, and a few electronics that are educational. Our Top 25 Toys

Looking back on it now, it’s kind of hilarious that Elle got her play kitchen when she was 13 months old. When I look at photos, she had to stand on her very tippy toes just to be able to reach the counter. Even so, she loved banging the pots and pans, and our little kitchen has withstood the test of time. We have added …

We have been dolly obsessed for a few years now. Elle got her first Bitty Baby when she was one, and recently for her 4th birthday, she got her first 18″ doll. It’s so fun to watch my little girl play mama to her babies, and I love that there is never a shortage of doll accessories. From little outfits, to strollers, to bitty beds, …
