We’re in the weeks leading up to Father’s Day! Woot Woot! Queue the dance music. It’s time to think about Father’s Day gift ideas! Actually, we don’t really celebrate Father’s Day (or Mother’s Day) in this household. It’s one of those Hallmark holidays that we don’t put much effort into acknowledging. Having said that, I WILL admit that for my […]
I’m so excited for today’s post! Getting my linen closet organized has been a long time coming – much like many of the spaces in my home. But I finally pulled myself together and tackled purging and organizing! Excited to share my linen closet organization / makeover with you today. Deep inside, I am an aspiring minimalist. Photos of zero […]
Last month, Henri turned 100 days old! We celebrate this milestone with something called a Red Egg and Ginger Party. What the heck is the significance of 100 days?? In East Asian cultures, when a baby lives past a certain number of days, it signifies that they will live to see their first birthday and beyond. Morbid? Sure, a little […]
Last week I posted Part 1 about becoming a mom of two. I just want to start by saying THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to read it and reach out to me. The outpouring of love and support is overwhelming, and I’m encouraged to see women come forward who have had similar experiences. I believe it helps […]
It was Mother’s Day this past weekend, and it got me thinking more about my journey so far as a mom of two. It’s been four months and some since becoming a mother of two to my sweet boys. I have to be honest with you guys, becoming a mom of two kicked my ass. Emotionally. Physically. Mentally…all the asses. […]
I can’t even believe it is already the end of October beginning of December! As soon as the first of September hits, our household spirals into a whirlwind! At least every 2 weeks there’s a birthday or holiday to plan for and celebrate. This goes on right through to the end of December! And I don’t even have school-aged children…oh […]
I’m joining the quarantine babies club and so happy to announce that we’re expecting Baby Badau 2.0! We’ve actually been planning to be pregnant again for a while now, but as I now know full well, you really can’t plan these things – much to my type-A personality’s chagrin. Life just works out exactly how it is supposed to, and […]
Hey Friends, I’m back with yet another baking post! Can you take a wild guess at how I’m primarily passing the time at home? Let’s just say, I have not stepped on a scale since self isolation protocols began because I am sure I will be in for some disappointment. Today, I share an easy berry muffins recipe with you. […]
Last year around this time, my mother coyly sent me a photo of her friend’s charming garden sign. It was a wood sign with hand-painted lettering that said: “Grandma’s Garden”. I got the hint. So this year, I thought it would be special to make a custom sign for my mother’s garden so she can join the “proud grandmas” posse. […]
With the world in the state it’s in, I’m feeling more and more like a homesteader every day. Last week, I felt like chowing down on vanilla cupcakes, so I broke out the stand mixer and whipped up a batch. This week, I opened the pantry and a jumbo size tub of peanut butter was staring me right in the […]
