We love sensory bins in our house. They are the perfect way to keep kids busy and engaged. You can create them super cheaply using ingredients you have around the house or adding affordable seasonal items from the dollar store. I love rotating through different sensory bins every month or every few weeks to keep Arabella interested and engaged in the activities. We use our sensory bins for both independent play and learning/preschool time. Our fall sensory bin has been a favorite activity this ...

WE’RE PREGNANT!
We're so excited to announce that I'm pregnant and our rainbow baby is due March 2021! I am sooo beyond thankful to be typing those words right now, because after our loss, I wondered if I would be ready or able to experience this journey again. I've wanted to share this so many times but it also terrified me, so I kept holding back. I don't know if I'll ever truly feel secure and confident until I'm holding our baby in my arms, but I've decided to fully soak in these moments and I'm so happy ...

CARROT ZUCCHINI MUFFINS | VEGGIE PACKED SNACKS
Arabella has always been a really good eater, but lately foods have been hit and miss. One minute she LOVES something and the next minute she has no interest. Getting her to actually focus on a meal for more then five minutes is also a miracle (ha!). One thing I can always count on her eating is muffins, so we've been baking up veggie loaded healthy muffins every week. I keep them on hand and even freeze some so there's always muffins available for healthy snacks throughout the day. These carrot ...
