Thank you to Finesse Nail Studio for the manicure! All opinions are my own.
When it comes to getting your nails done, finding your nail tech can be difficult. You gotta find the girl who gets you. Who understands your style and can nail that coffin shape every time.

I have a confession as a Mom of two. I think one of the hardest parts of my life is taking my kids somewhere. Not just being out in public with them, but the physical act of leaving the house.

Thank you to Pure and Lovely Skincare for hosting me for a facial! All opinions are my own.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a facial at Pure and Lovely Skincare and it was incredible. Brianne is an old friend of mine and the best esthetician in the game. She recently ventured out to start her own business and boy, is it a smash.
Pure and Lovely Skincare is a relaxing oasis just outside of Denver, worth the drive from wherever you are. It was just the mental escape I needed from my screaming kids, and my skin needed it too.

It’s no secret that my kids have had a rough time sleeping. Sawyer was a great sleeper as a baby but for some reason, as soon as he turned 2, he was up almost nightly. And Oliver has almost never slept through the night!
Recently, we started using a sleep coach to help them sleep through the night. While I can’t share our specific plan, I will tell you that one of her biggest tips was bathing the kids every night. At first I thought that was crazy! First of all, it takes a decent amount of time and effort to bathe the kids. Second, I had always heard that bathing them every night was bad for their skin.
Recently we had the opportunity to go to the grand opening of the newest Urban Air Adventure Park location in Westminster Colorado! We had such an incredible day!
Urban Air Adventure Park is such a great place for kids and families. We were there 3+ hours and had a blast. Kurtis and I turned on the exercise tracker on our apple watches while we were there and we both burned 1,000+ calories! Just chasing our kids around on the trampolines! Urban Air offers lots of different attractions for kids of all ages, birthday parties, and concessions.

Christmas cards are so fun and yet, so stressful! December is a crazy month with so much to do! Christmas cards is just another thing on the never ending to-do this this time of year.
But Shutterfly makes Holiday cards so easy! We chose to go with Shutterfly this year because we could get everything done in one place. I was able to design the cards, choose a custom envelope with our return address already printed on it, custom envelope inserts, and even a customized stamp!

Playdates are an inescapable part of parenthood. We all want our kids to socialize and make friends, and it doesn’t hurt that we as parents can make friends in the process too!
When hosting a playdate, the kids are usually the main focus, but if the kids are happy and occupied then you can have actual adult conversation! One of the best ways to keep little kids happy and occupied is always with food.
Thank you to The Dove Inn for hosting us for the weekend.
We loved staying at The Dove Inn to celebrate our birthdays a few weeks ago! This is definitely the place to check out when visiting Denver. The Dove Inn is an incredibly unique and charming bed and breakfast nestled in the heart of downtown Golden, Colorado. This boutique hotel underwent a $1 million renovation and looks incredible. The Dove Inn is an 1800’s Victorian house, and they stayed true to it’s roots throughout the renovation. They kept the victorian charm while still modernizing the inn, which boasts 10 rooms (including 3 suites and 1 studio), a common area, and a kitchen.
Our NICU journey was anything but easy. Is anyone’s? A lot of baby gear and clothing is not designed with preemies in mind. But does that mean they should be forgotten about? Should it be so hard to find preemie clothing and gear?
When Oliver came 6 weeks early, we were unprepared. Of course we were! No one plans on having a premature baby. We had a closet full of clothes in preparation, none of it preemie sized. So when he was born and rushed to the NICU, we had nothing to dress him in. The hospital issued us a few plain white bodysuits, but other than that, we had nothing.
During our recent trip to Phoenix, we had the amazing opportunity to stay at the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa in Scottsdale. It was incredible. We have never stayed anywhere so darn near perfect! They Hyatt Regency Scottsdale is perfect for everyone! Family vacations, girls trips, couples weekends, or even a honeymoon. It’s romantic, relaxing, and family friendly all in one. We can’t wait to go back!
