So my son is six, and a lot of the gifts below are aimed at around his age, although I think some would work for just about any age. (Some of the links below are affiliate links, and I will receive a small commission on your purchases.) Pictured Above: Dinosaur Fossil Digging Kit - I love that this is something different and hands on, plus a learning opportunity. Pass Back Football - I mean, I couldn't think of a better gift for a football loving kid, especially when friends ar[...]
These are a few of my favorite things!! I built this list of items I have and love and a few that are currently on my wish list. I also wanted to highlight some local and small shops below.

Have someone in your family that loves to travel or visit somewhere new on the weekends? These would make great gifts for them.

Pictured Above: Collapsible Water Bottle - Do you ever go through security and can't bring water and then go buy at $5 bottle of water before getting on the plane? It me! Every.single.time. I love that you can take this water bottle and then fill[...]
Let's kick off the holiday season with some gift ideas for the men in our lives. When I was making this list I mostly added items that Ryan has and loves or that I'm eyeing for him.

If there is one thing I've gotten better at lately, it's being able to pivot. Pivot, and give myself some grace. (Which I'm still working on.) Do you ever have those days where you think, okay, tomorrow I am going to eat healthy, workout, cook at home, and go to bed early. Basically you decide, tomorrow I am going to start living healthier, and maybe you plan it all out on paper. "I'm going to workout M, W, & F." "Monday we are having salad with grilled chicken, Tuesday I'll make tacos,[...]
DeVeau’s School of Gymnastics has been a family owned business for 40 years, and it's right here in Fishers! I love that they strive to offer safe, exciting, challenging, and fun programs for children of all ages. Kollyns and Jaxon both started in classes when they were one, so I can say first hand it's helped so much with not only balance, coordination, and strength but discipline as well. And every coach they've had, has been amazing! If you are interested in trying out a class[...]
I love making this simple recipe for a quick lunch, a kid's lunch to send to school, or an afternoon snack. It only takes about 5-10 minutes to put together. I think I love it so much because it's sweet, salty and has some crunch! What You Need: 5 stocks celery, chopped 2 cups grapes, halved 1 rotisserie chicken, breast meat, chunked into bite-size pieces 5 tbsp of mayonnaise (I love this vegan mayonnaise.) 1/3 cup slivered candied almond[...]
Roman & Leo is the only all boys boutique in the Midwest, and it is right here in Fishers, IN! They seriously have the trendiest boy's clothes (and some cute things girls can wear too). My favorite is all the graphic tees. Fun fact, Jaxon has been modeling for Roman & Leo since he was 6 months old. Fall might be my favorite season to shop the store because they have the best tees for all our local teams: Colts, IU, Purdue, and more. They also have fun shirts for the holidays and cute[...]
The Hotel: For this trip we really wanted to check out the new Resorts World, which sits across from the Wynn, on the strip. The resort has only been open for about 3 months. Everything was new and clean! The cool thing about Resorts World, is that it’s three hotels in one. The Hilton (lower price), The Conrad (mid-price) and The Crockfords (high-end), so essentially there is something for everyone. Each hotel has its own lobby and check-in, and elevators. Our room with the Conr[...]
I wanted to share with you some of my favorite skincare products for summer. When it comes to summer skincare, finding products that are BOTH safe and high performing is my top priority. I like to use lighter products, especially on hot, muggy midwest days, and added spf is a huge bonus. Here are some of my favorites I'm currently using. Beautycounter’s All Bright C Serum- Give me all the Vitamin C! I started using this product a month ago and it's already helped lighten dark spots and[...]
