Operation: Dinner
Let’s Talk Battle Plans Is there anything more frustrating than not knowing what’s for dinner? It seems we are over it. At least half of my convos with my mom friends lately have been about food. Especially since so many of us are working from home and prepping 3 meals...

Cleaning & COVID19
Hey all, one thing that happens to come up often is what are our cleaning procedures during the pandemic. While I normally strive to keep things neat, tidy, and clean here at the shop, we've increased our cleaning procedures. We use Force of Nature cleaning solution. Force of Nature is a...

Who's on your Valentine's Day list?
So I think we fall into categories around Valentine's Day: love it or hate it. For years, I hated Valentine's Day. It was stupid as aren't we supposed to love each other every day? Then Skylar was born and she loves Valentine's Day. So my attitude has changed. I've started...

A Big Thank You and Loyalty!
One thing that was very important as we transitioned last month was our loyalty program. I want to thank everyone for their patience as we transitioned to a new program. As we reviewed the different programs, one thing that was critical for me was referrals. I know that many of...

5 Quick Beauty Hacks
Y'all, this past year has been so enlightening to me. I figured out how to use eyeliner and how to blend eye shadow. I'm a 40 year old woman who never learned/cared how to do make up or facial care or anything like that. So when the pandemic hit, we...

Staying Sane This Winter
A big thank you to our guest blogger, Heidi Schertz! You’ve made it through the holidays! WOO HOO! And now before us, stretches the long dark months of January and February. For me, these months are almost as hard as the dwindling nights of fall. It’s hard to stay motivated...

Mom Brain: More Than Meets the Eye
This is a guest post from Molly Mahler of Sleep Logics. If I had a dollar for every time I said: ‘Whoops, sorry! Mom brain!” during my pregnancy and post-partum to excuse mistakes, mincing words, forgetting dates and so on…well, I’d be rich. The term mom brain generally refers...

Creating a Capsule Wardrobe for Pregnancy
How many of you have gone shopping with the purpose of getting "enough clothing to last through my pregnancy"? Which I totally did. However, when I came home.. I noticed that things were very haphazardly purchased. A few tops and undershirts that didn't go with the jeans I purchased or...

Clean Out Your Closet
One of the things I love about winter, is the quiet. The slowness. It's a great time of year to purge things that are no longer needed. Like half my closet. See if I'm honest with myself, I am no longer the same size I was before birth. My body...

The Beginning
One question I receive a lot is "Why did you open your store?" Especially this year when the focus has been on small businesses and their owners. What I normally say is that I want to help women. But honestly, it's so much deeper than that. In early 2013, my...

Holiday Boundaries
By: Heidi Schertz, Mom of three I saw a sassy quote the other day, “strong women don’t have attitudes, they have standards and boundaries.” What does that look like in an emotional sense? How can we, as moms and parents, make sure that our emotional needs are met? Last time,...

The C-Section Wishlist
This one is for my mommas who have a c-section, those who give birth and have a major surgery all in one go. Y'all need some extra love because you have to recover twice. Not just from birth which is it's own recovery, but also from surgery. So I wanted...
