Hello all! Do you ever find an item of clothing that love so much that you buy it in every color? I totally do. Over the years, I have had a pair of ballet flats that I had in literally 5 different colors, numerous shirts that were too amazing to have just one, and recently… Continue reading Same clothes, different way
I can not even begin to describe the beauty of New Zealand. There are no words that do it justice. The colors are unlike anything I have ever seen. The greens and blues that we witnessed there seem almost unnatural. They are so bright. The first time we ventured out of the city on a… Continue reading Picturesque New Zealand
So, I've been seeing Facebook ads for Rockets of Awesome for a while now. I love my StitchFix and FabFitFun so I was excited to find a subscription box for the kids to try out. Last week our newest subscription box showed up on the doorstep. My daughter loves to see what my boxes hold… Continue reading Rockets of Awesome
Just walk the city. Wellington is small by capital city standards. The whole Wellington region is only 112 sq. miles. The actual downtown area of the city is relatively small and very walkable.

Athleisure is amazing! I’ve got to be honest, I’m all out of everything this week. I have had kids home sick from school for more than 2 weeks now. One after the other, they fell victim to the flu.

I love that my stylist and I have gotten into a really good groove and she knows what I like and what would… Continue reading Stitch Fix Review
We move a lot! Our most recent move was from Wellington, New Zealand to the DC Metro area. We left New Zealand in late September and I must admit that I’ve been struggling a little with the move this time around. I’ve never been particularly shy or introverted, but also don’t necessarily make friends easily.… Continue reading Bloom
This past weekend was glorious! The sunshine and relative warmth was a much appreciated change from the recent weather. We took the kids to a local park in the afternoon for some fresh air. It was so nice to be able to let them run around for a while without freezing. I decided to forgo… Continue reading Sunny Saturday
So, because I am late to the blogging game I feel like I need to back track a bit as far as our adventures go. Our last overseas posting was Wellington, New Zealand. We were fortunate enough to spend two years in New Zealand and got to see a lot of this beautiful country. I… Continue reading Hobbit Holes & Elevensies
