We know that finding summer camps in Indy is on the top of every parent's list of things to figure out. While summer in Indianapolis can be truly magical we KNOW as parents that it can also be a frustrating time where you are struggling to piece together childcare and entertainment week by week and month [...]

I will be honest: I like to start planning for the next season before the current one ends, especially for Christmas. Hear me out, though. I am trying to help future me out for the next holiday season. I am not planning the whole calendar 12 months in advance, but I am preparing a guide […]

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season has just passed us. And for a lot of us, that meant added stress. Not only to find the perfect gifts or to get the coveted family photos for our holiday cards, but also to try to squeeze in every activity we could with our kids. Meanwhile, [...]

When it’s gray and dreary outside in Indiana, what better time to be thankful for that sweet little planter of green sitting on my windowsill, just existing and making me happy? January 10th is National Houseplant Appreciation Day, and we will appreciate them! If you haven’t adopted an aloe or a pothos yet, it might [...]

Every time I look at the random assortment of toys in my shower, I can’t help but smile. As my kids are getting older (I can’t seem to slow time down, no matter how hard I try), the little reminders that childhood still exists in our home are so sweet. We are deep in the […]

Children carry a quiet innocence—soft, unfiltered, untouched by the world. As parents, we orbit around that innocence, shielding it, shaping it, filling their days with love and routine. We know they’ll grow up. We know the world eventually gets its turn. But we forget how small those first shifts can be. For me, it was […]

My husband planned a work trip the week before winter break. While I understood the purpose of the trip, the second he told me about it, I felt like he was taking some weight off of his shoulders and not-so-gently placing it on mine. The last week of school before winter break means prepping for […]

I recently went to visit my 93-year-old grandmother for a morning catch-up. Few places take me back to childhood like her home. The summers spent with my grandfather in his garden, the hours logged at the table playing Euchre, waking up there Christmas morning with a wood-burning fire, Christmas music on the stereo, and presents […]

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need a pick-me-up to get through the cold months in Indianapolis. Hot chocolate bombs, or hot cocoa bombs, are the perfect way to provide a yummy treat to cheer you up! If you’ve never had a hot chocolate bomb before, they are a chocolate sphere filled with […]
