Hello Fresh Review + Giveaway!

July 18, 2018 By Kari 7 Comments

Keep it simple. That's been my focus for the past several months, and it's made a HUGE change! I used to set lofty, SuperMom expectations, creating everything from scratch, making beautifully-packed lunches every morning, and elaborate meals every evening. Maybe one day . . .

DIY: Coconut Lavender Whipped Cream

October 5, 2017 By Kari 2 Comments

Body lotions, creams, butter: whatever title you want to use, they're far too expensive for my liking. How is something so simple (that you know is inexpensive to produce) so costly? (I feel the same way about toss cushions but that's a topic for another day.) I have . . .

Goal: Eat Together at the Table

October 3, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

I've found myself developing a bit of a bad habit: plopping Wyatt into his high chair in front of the computer or the TV to eat his snacks and meals. It seemed like the perfect solution! He could sit there, eating (and supposedly entertained) while I wash the dishes, return . . .

Wyatt’s Room: Earthy Vintage Nursery

September 26, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

We'll likely be switching Wyatt to a big boy bed within the next year (despite the fact that if it was up to me, he'd be in a crib until he's 18), so I thought it would be fun to give you a peek into his room before the change-over. When we were designing the space, it . . .

Seven Summer Sensory Bins

July 15, 2017 By Kari 2 Comments

My dad built our son Wyatt a beautiful sensory table this spring. At first glance, it's a cute, kid-sized picnic table. But when you lift the lid, you discover a pair of engaging, attention-grabbing sensory bins with materials for Wyatt and his friends to touch, smell, see . . .

Healthy(ish) Summer Drinks for the Whole Family

June 28, 2017 By Kari 3 Comments

'Tis the season for summer drinks! I had so much fun designing these three fabulous features (mostly because I got to taste test all of them). I designed them to be alcohol-free, so you can pour them as-is for your kids and pregnant friends, or add vodka, gin, or white wine . . .

June 7, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

There’s nothing quite like building S'Mores around the campfire with your friends. When I was a little girl, summer evenings at our cabin in the Whiteshell, Manitoba often included roasting marshmallows under the stars. That moment when you press your 'mallow in between your . . .

Choose the one you can't live without. That cares Choose the one you can't live without. That cares enough to put in the work every day - especially when it 'aint so pretty. That fights for the life you've built together. The one that's willing to grow in new ways together and open their mind and heart to new possibilities.

You're the one I want to go through all the times with - the good and the tough, the happy and sad. Thank you for being the guy that folds all of our laundry and respects that I don't want you to wash mine. 😄 Thank you for changing the garbages - cause you know I hate it. Thank you for building us epic fires in the summer and making THE BEST popcorn ever. ❤️ Thanks for watching The Bachelor with me (and providing hilarious commentary throughout). Thanks for being a gentle parent with our kiddos. ❤️❤️❤️

To the love of my life, my partner in life, and greatest Daddy - Happy 14th!
