Happy Monday!     It absolutely blows my mind how often people ask me, "How do you function in the morning without coffee?" My answer is always the same and people are shocked when I tell them I've never drank coffee and that I successfully start my mornings without it. Crazy right? Well here's my secret...a routine! A routine full of healthy, natural things I do every day to get off to a good start. One: Get Good Sleep   My body does not function with less than seven-eight hours of sleep. I'd prefer about nine, but that doesn't always happen. For some reason, my body just really needs lots of sleep. Unfortunately, I'm not very good about going to bed early because I'm a night owl, but a goal I've been working on is to be in bed by 10:30 every night. Along with going to bed at a decent hour, getting up at a decent hour is really important too. I'm usually up by 7:30 so I can get everything in my morning routine done then get ...

Happy Wednesday! Today is a special version of Small Shop Wednesday because I'm featuring my gorgeous sister's shop! She is such a boss and is dominating the pillow world with her cute shop Anders' Attic. I mean, how cute (and hilarious!) are her pillows?! Let's take a closer look at the woman behind the shop that's been featured on BuzzFeed, in magazines, and is absolutely killin' it. Meet Kaylyn! What is your job // career // momlife?

Happy Saturday! Today's post is a quick one. I just wanted to share my current workout playlist with y'all. These are the songs I listen to to get pumped up and make it through those long workouts on days where I'd rather be doing anything else!  Let's be honest, we all have those days where we don't feel like being at the gym. But the fact that we got ourselves there anyways says a lot. And it's on days like this that I know I'm going to need some really good, upbeat tunes to stay motivated! So if you're in need of suggestions or you're just curious what I listen to, here you go.  I've got a little bit of everything on this list, but here are my top ten: 1. Glorious - Macklemore & Skylar Grey 2. Revolution - The Score 3. These Days - Rudimental ft. Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan Caplen 4. The Middle - Zedd, Maren Morris & Grey 5. Sorry Not Sorry - Demi Lovato 6. What Lovers Do - Maroon 5 7. Feel It Still - Portug...

This cold winter weather's got me like....I'd rather be somewhere warm! Boston winter is absolutely miserable. Honestly, I don't mind the weather here from April to October, but November through March is terrible. It's freezing...actually it's below freezing most of the time, there's a ton of snow...like a ton, and the sky is always gray and dull...we never see the sun.  So I got to thinking about what would cheer me up and bring me out of this winter funk, and came to the conclusion that daydreaming and talking about my top five dream vacations would do the trick. So here we go! My hands down, ultimate, number-one-on-my-list dream vacation is New Zealand and Australia ! I have wanted to go there since I was a little girl. And I swear, one day I'll go! There are several things that draw me to that part of the world; the beaches, the beautiful blue water, the sexy accents. And of course...the reasons I probably shouldn't admit;  Lord of...

Waco is just about the coolest place ever! That's in large part to Chip & Joanna Gaines. The silos and bakery at Magnolia are awesome. There's great food, a fun atmosphere, and the cutest merchandise! Warning: picture heavy post! When I went with my mom and sister last week, it was my second time there. The last time I'd gone, we didn't get to go into the bakery because the line was out the door and down the block. But this time we timed it perfectly! We went on a Wednesday right when they opened. There was almost no one there!  We grabbed some breakfast...and dessert from the bakery then made our way over to the shop. I got a delicious gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip cookie that was to die for! I was shocked to see that they offer gluten free items since most bakeries don't. I also got a yummy campfire cupcake because let's be honest, you can't go to there and just get one thing. For those of you that have never been insi...
